Pretty much anything by Trigger is going to be worth at least a watch through at least once, usually multiple times.
The League of Legends show, Arcane, is some of the best animation I think I've ever seen and season two comes out next month.
FLCL and FLCL Alternative are both amazing, I couldn't get into Progressive.
Mob Psycho and One Punch Man are wild rides. I think OPM is better, but that's because I'm bald.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is an absolute hoot if you can see the humor in all the over-explanations and goofiness
I'm about to start Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction tomorrow. I'm going in blind, but I really love Inio Asano's other works. Goodnight Punpun changed my life, but really, do not read it if you are already depressed.
I keep editing this because I keep remembering stuff.
Frieren is amazing and makes you feel incredibly close to these characters.
Delicious in Dungeon is Trigger, but a different Trigger than something like Kill la Kill or BNA. It's slower, comfier, and like Frieren, makes you feel SO close to these characters.
I think OPM is better, but that's because I'm bald.
Based.

I keep recommending Ancient Magus Bride. Nobody watches...
It's a seriously good anime with some slice of life and drama, an amazing magical world and SUPER GOOD SOUNDTRACK
If anyone reading this watches it, I beg of you, please tell me what you thought

The original Legend of the Galactic Heroes. This is top tier sci fi, politics, and mitary drama that is more impactful today than when the original novel was written.
I watched a bit of in another world with my smartphone and it was peak garbage. I also downloaded the wrong 7 deadly sins once, unforgivably awful. I think I slogged through dog days while in my depressive always drunk phase.
actual recommendations: bna and little witch academia are my fav trigger (after infern cop obv.)
I dunno aku no hana for some weird rotoscoped shit thats kinda disturbing and stressful. The character visuals are more convincing than the manga version.
suisei no gargantia is probably the most any audience friendly mecha anime, apart from the breasty pirate literally named rackage being maybe a bit much.
knights of sidonia was probably the first all 3d anime I actually liked. I ended up watching a bunch of other stuff by the same studio and they have a distinct animation style and facial expressions that are easy to recognize as being the same studio.
the promised neverland for some dark shit, but I only saw season 1 and don't know if there even were more seasons. The manga version became a slog for me after that point in the story but I was also working full time++ when the anime ended.
attack on titan also became a chore for me after season 1 but it was a novel experience watching it for the first time.
Can confirm that there's no season 2 of The Promised Neverland. It ended at season 1. They really didn't do anything more, don't go looking for it. Trust me.
Sad we didn't get to see some of the later arcs animated, but at least we didn't get a half-assed failure of an adaptation like it might have be, right?
Pantheon
This is a good one that I don't think ever really got advertised at all. Caught me by surprise.

I never watched any anime but then watched one punch man. It's really clever and very approachable for new and casual viewers.
Hazbin Hotel!
The Last Ship: The crew of a US Navy destroyer is faced with a new reality as a deadly plague wipes out nearly all of humanity.
Basically, mix together the good parts of Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead, and distill it down to 5 seasons with no filler. It's one of my favorite binge-watches.

I don’t watch anime or shows, yet there’s something I still recommend:
Anime: Neon Genesis: Evangelion (it’s old)
Cartoon: Final Space (Netflix killed it before the finale, the creators are making a comic about the final 2 seasons that’ll release sometime 2025)
Show: The Office (a lil bit anachronistic if you’re too young)

Scavengers Reign is incredible, easily the best animated sci fi show made in the past few years IMO. It’s weird and emotional and deeply sincere in a way a lot of media isn’t anymore.
If you liked Fantastic Planet you’ll probably like Scavengers Reign.
scavengers reign knocked me on my ass, great recommendation.

TV: Letterkenny immediately followed by Shoresy. Shoresy is a spinoff, so you really should watch Letterkenny first, although you don't necessarily have to
Seinfeld, probably no need to explain (Edit: how could I leave out Curb Your Enthusiasm here?)
Adult Cartoons: King of the Hill, Bob's Burgers, Archer, Frisky Dingo. I could go on for a while about adult animation
Anime: Samurai Champloo, Baki the Grappler, Baki, Baki Hanma, Oshi No Ko, and Zombieland Saga. Plenty more, but I'll stop here for now
Summary: I like TV way more than movies. My favorites being Comedy/Sitcoms and Dragon Ball/Z/Super
Edit: Does professional wrestling count? I fucking love me some WWE

Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_(1995_film)
A vintage cult classic, which is the inspiration for many other cult classics
Meh, Stand alone complex is among the best media in existence, that's my can't recommend enough.

Monster. One of the best anime series I've ever seen.
I go it recommended and watched it all. I kept waiting for it to become good. 🤷

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 with you. I watched it all though. They really needed to speed things up.
IMO, it's not that great.

The Magicians- the musical episodes are amazing.
I love musical episodes, I was so happy when everyone started singing in the magicians.
I still sometimes go back and watch The Buffy musical episode, too.
spontaneous breaks for musical nimbers are so great.
