I tried. I tried so hard. Attempted 3x to watch this. First time I got 5 episodes in. Second time I got 12 episodes in. Third time I got 16 episodes in.
Each time, I tried so hard to continue going. I'm sure it was great when it was released, but holy shit it was such a SLOG.

I'm not an anime guy. But I'll occasionally pop one on if the plot interests me. Vinland saga was good, Castlevania as well. I know the American anime haters will hate me. Aside from that I randomly watched "my happy marriage"with my wife and it was really good and I actually can't wait till season 2

Higurashi no naku koro ni
Moe-Psycho galore only drip feeding you the real story.
Psych. All time favorite show.
Alchemy of Souls on Netflix. A mix of Kung Fu Theater, a comedy, a love story, and a horror all rolled into one great story. It ran two seasons and each episode is over an hour long. 10/10
Nichijou, Higurashi, Oregairu, Steins;Gate, SAO (season 1), Clannad, Naruto, Fruits Basket (?), Death Note, A Silent Voice, Ghibli Studio animes,
I like watching Trigun, Clannad, Blood+ but I also really reccomend people read some Manga:
-
Tank Chair by Yashiro Manabu
-
Elfen Leid by Okamoto Lynn (also has an anime, but different endings)
-
Moto Shogun no Undead Knight by Shuko and Necoco
-
Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu (manga announced)
-
You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead by Uguiso Sachiko
-
Dai Dark by Q Hayashida
Bloom into you, the only anime that existed in my head
For anime, Ghost in the Shell. My favorite is the Stand Alone Complex series.
For TV show, Fringe. It's a sci-fi show taking place in the modern world.
For movie, Red Lights. It's about a group that disproves paranormal/super natural events. I recommend it because it's not well known.
His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano). Such a gently told manic love story.

@Shkshkshk @asklemmy
There's a ton of anime that I *might* recommend to different people, depending on individual preferences and tastes:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JZR7jtU3q-LTqoWaGY-7YurPpvLpTIY0ybScvA1L0GQ/edit?usp=drivesdk
But the one that I come closest to recommending everyone, without qualification, would be:
"Keep Your Hands off Eizouken"
It's basically a love letter to:
* joys and challenges in the process of creative collaboration
* how each success begets further goals
* how reflecting on details and oddities of the world adds to art
Really thoughtful and smart sci-fi animation. Don't want to spoil it so I'll be vague, it has the most realistic depiction of modern tech and how people interact with it than any other show I've seen. Really great commentary on big tech corporations and even a bit of geopolitics. Super ambitious yet it somehow pulls it off.
There is also a scene that still gives me nightmares (not even joking, I still dream about that shit) which is more than any horror movies or shows have done for me. Anyone who has watched it knows exactly what scene I'm talking about.
