A NONEXHAUSTIVE ANIME RECOMMENDATION LIST

CLASSICS (you’ve probably watched these already):

Neon Genesis Evangelion : depression, adolescence & mecha: the anime

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann : depression, adolescence & mecha: the remake

Kill La Kill: see above, but with a commentary on fanservice and the anime industry. also main female characters

Death Note : morally ambiguous main character kills people, eats potato chips. everyone loses their shit

Fullmetal Alchemist (both 2003 and Brotherhood) : 2 brothers fuck shit up, also save the world through alchemy.

Cowboy Bebop : guns in space

Every Goddamn Ghibli Movie : do it, you weakling. watch them all theyre all good

Ghost In The Shell : theres more than just the first movie. watch the other ones. also the tv series. do it. its about being human

Code Geass : snotty rich boi decides to take over an entire empire through sheer assholery and somehow manages it, but god, at what goddamn cost. 

Yu-Gi-Oh : believe in the power of the fucking cards karen

CLASSICS II (you probably haven’t watched these and it makes me sad):

Perfect Blue : the movie black swan tried (and failed) to rip off properly

Future Boy Conan : because miyazaki also does tv series

Revolutionary Girl Utena : sword lesbian, a lesbian with a sword

Oban Star Racers : racing, but in space. half french

Mushishi : spirits, in all their contemplative beauty

Black Jack (the OVAs are the best but you can watch the rest as well): the original Dr House, with more money and assholery

Koi Kaze : quite possibly the only redeemable anime about incest

Sherlock Hound: did i mention miyazaki doing great tv series yet

SHONEN (young boys fuck shit up):

My Hero Academia : crybaby protagonist turns out to be most loveable character of all time. becomes a cool hero. love him

Mob Psycho 100 : a show about a boy who just wants to be good. ONE manifests in your house to physically punch shonen tropes in the face. breathtaking animation. read the manga before tho. trust me

Avatar The Last Airbender (& Avatar The Legend Of Korra) : fuck you its anime because i fucking said so. watch it. the story is great and culturally diverse and also cool shit happens

Naruto & Naruto Shippuden : whatever you say some arcs were fucking legendary so whenever you want just watch some cool, non-filler shit. every thing after the Pain arc doesnt matter dont watch it

Soul Eater: i have no goddamn clue whats going on but it looks cool. also spirit vore

Hunter x Hunter : young boy adopts new adults in his family, gets killer best friend. literally

Keroro Gunsou : alien frogs try to take over the world. it,,,,, doesnt work very well. featuring otaku frog, angry frog, gay fanboy frog, gay nerd frog, alone frog as well as many other things. the humans are also good

Wakfu : its. basically french anime. fantasy stuff, it has great animation (especially in the later episodes) and the main villains are fucking incredible. its on netflix and by all that is holy watch it in french with english subs else i will physically manifest in your house and punch you.

One Punch Man : ONE tries to mock shonen manga, does it too well

Shaman King : the french OP is in my head and I CANT GET IT OUT

Black Rock Shooter (OVA + series) : this times its girls fucking shit up, and theyre also crying. it looks amazing

Houseki no Kuni : more on the seinen side, badass fighting & drama with a bunch of genderless gems (i know what youre thinking and no, the manga was created before steven universe). looks and sounds absolutely gorgeous, do yourself a favour and watch it (then read the manga)

SPORTS ANIME (i dont give a shit about sports but goddamn i love these):

Baby Steps : the most realistic and likeable sports anime ever. weak art but great story telling and pacing

Haikyuu!! : what even is volleyball. i care about these characters and the animation is fucking phenomenal. the soundtrack is so good. watch it

Ping Pong - The Animation : weird-ass art in the best way, great story & characters. cant fucking believe this was achieved on flash

Welcome To The Ballroom : n e c k s

Hajime No Ippo : punching people and your own FEELINGS

Yuri On Ice!!! : gay ice skating. everyone loves quadruples. very nice and sweet. you will care about dogs

Akagi: lets just pretend playing mah-jong while using your blood to bet is an actual sport. also known as ‘wow thats a peculiar art style - the anime’

One Outs: was introduced to me as “akagi but with baseball” and boy was i not disappointed

OTHER SHIT I’M TOO LAZY TO CATEGORIZE (but watch them theyre good i promise):

Fume Wo Amu : autistic man discovers how to make dictionaries and friends. some sad happens

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu : like a greek tragedy, except sadder and directed by gods. incredible animation as well. gr8 storytelling

Doukyuusei : a short, sweet love story. the animation style is stunning i fucking love it with all my heart

Steins;Gate : time travel bullshit. great direction

Journey To Agartha : a movie i tried to get people to watch back when they didnt know who makoto shinkai was yet. pls watch its good

Usagi Drop : aka “dont read the manga - the anime”. the fluffiest piece of animation you will ever encounter. a dad dadding his life away

Psycho-Pass : great thriller/action show. makes you question morality

Uchuu Patrol Luluco : fuck you and your feelings im more important

Monster : naoki urasawa Does It Again™

Kiznaiver : a deconstruction of drama anime in general, with godlike animation and art. the OP makes me want to cry because its so good

Wandering Son : a touching anime about trans kids. read the manga

Akagi : just makin sure you watch that one. while youre ahead read the manga too

Nichijou : slice of life anime presented in the most hilarious way

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica : magical girls but with a twist. dont fuckin trust that piece of shit plushie

Lupin III : arsène lupin except hes more of a piece of shit than usual

Parasyte : i am scarred for life by the things i have seen

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures: whatever the fuck is going on here

Youjo Senki: sociopathic asshole corporate guy gets reincarnated into a girl during an alternative WWI, turns out to be good at fucking shit up

“Nighthawks” - by Edward Hooper + inspired various media

[grumpynyancat71]

Spike Spiegel’s Brain Control Center ^_______^

[grumpynyancat71]

Do you think you could draw Faye and spike sitting on the bridge stargazing? Maybe sharing a smoke or some booze, just something chill and quiet. I love seeing them just hang out together.

[grumpynyancat71]

I just loved Mushishi, by the way!

It has exactly the kind of serenity I like and a slight Studio Ghibli vibe, though it’s atmosphere and art style are quite unique (at least for me, ‘cause I’m not a real anime expert)

[grumpynyancat71]

[grumpynyancat71]

And for those of us from the early to mid-2000’s who stayed up late (maybe when we shouldn’t have) we got to witness these slightly edgier gems.
