edit: feel free to reply no matter how old this thread gets!

I’m not particularly into anime, I like it just as much as live action shows or other types of animation. Having said that, I feel like watching some and I’m not sure what to pick.

Here’s a list of other anime shows I’ve watched/manga and novels I’ve read, so you can better judge what to recommend. ( would greatly appreciate the story to be completed, I hate waiting years for closure) :

Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto : both great stories, I’ve read the mangas and loved them. They wouldn’t be a priority to watch because I already read them.

Attack on Titan: started with the anime, it was great, switched to the manga, got extremely disappointed with the story development and its ending. It felt a bit like nonsense for me.

Dragon Ball/Z : probably my favourite, I’ve rewatched it recently. I don’t like GT and Super.

Overlord: I’ve read good part of the novel and manga. I’m liking it so far

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: please No thanks. Not for me.

Death Note: loved the first arc, not a fan of the ending but no hate for it unlike with AOT.

I also recall Escaflowne and Inuyasha, they were alright but not something I’ve loved or hated. Cowboy Bebop also in this category, excellent visually and great OST but the story wasn’t as gripping.

Other than that… Feel free to suggest any other titles! Extra thanks if you are specific about any versions and why is the show so great.

TIA

      The fact you put Samurai Champloo on top made me check the whole rest of your list. About half made it to my watchlist thanks!

        Glad I could help;)

        Personally, Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen are there simply because it is good on it’s own but still part of the current popular category, shonen - it’s the same thing again, thought both do it really well, with it’s own twists.

        The other ones are what I really enjoyed because I love anime that explores deeper themes and meanings.
