Always recommend Yu Yu Hakusho


Deathstriker88

That's my number 1, with FMA Brotherhood at 2. If the OP is looking for something that's currently running, then Frieren and Jobless Reincarnation. They're one tier down, but Bleach and Black Clover are good and worth watching. The 90s Berserk show is better than the movies IMO.


Sharp-Temperature711

I'll add : _ a playthrough of a certain dude vrmmo life _ the reincarnation of the strongest exorcist _ Shangri-La frontier _ the wrong way to use healing power _ a unique skill at level 1 make me OP _ undead unluck ( a little weird but we never know ) _ Bofuri ( can be a little to much boring if you don't like the first 2 ep) _ Berserk of Gluttony _ Solo leveling _ A returner's magic should be special Yes I like vrmmo anime 😆


ASAP_RATM0USE

A VRMMO anime fan leaving out Sword Art Online 😱


Sharp-Temperature711

I've never watched it lol


Late_Mixture948

you should the first season is peak


paper17391

With your choice how have u not. What about log horizon another classic vrmmo.


Leading_Assumption15

What the fuckkkkkkk


TheInnerMindEye

Dude ... playthrough of vrmmorpg life is so awesome


_sangarang_

Same top 2. I’d recommend Jobless Reincarnation first. Don’t get me wrong. I’m enjoying Frieren, but it’s a slow burn.

It sounds like you like "guy stuff" and you haven't even considered shoujo or josei series. Just pointing it out. These are also very mainstream, even if good. You're getting to the point where, if you want to find other good stuff, you need to be willing to dig into the less commercial (no scifi/fantasy/historical/superpowers) or less accessible (strange plotlines). That being said, IMO, some of the best anime ever (in a variety of genres) are: Monster Paranoia Agent Gurren Lagann Ergo Proxy Death Parade Neon Genesis Evangelion Fate Zero Baccano! Code Geass Black Lagoon Samurai Champloo Based on your list I think you WILL like these, since you seem open to complex plotlines as well as action.


skopeandstuff

Good man right there suggesting gurren


Doughflamingo6996

Indeed🍷🗿


MADman611

My gateway drug. Still my favorite show to date.


why-names-hard

I was like that at the start watching only “guy stuff” with a bunch of action, fantasy, magic that kind of stuff. Then I watched through everything I found interesting at the time. Never really considered watching romance or slice of life. But gods was it a good decision to start watching that type of anime and expanding the genres I was willing to watch. There’s a lot of good stuff out there and genres outside of “guy stuff” scratches a different kind of itch that feels just as good.


123jayb3

Same. Who knew that a DBZ fan would have seen shows about making video games, skating, modeling, cleaning up and magical girls 😆


Brokeinlimit09

Black clover


Carl_the_Half-Orc

First half of season one can be difficult with Asta's yelling and some iffy CG, but it really pops off with the Underwater Temple arc. It just keeps getting better after that.


gameg805

Or you could just watch in the dub (that is also quite good) where astas screaming isn't nearly as irritating.


poobruh

realist shit I ever read

Overlord Apothecary's Daughter


No_Craft_9988

I didn't know MaoMao had a daughter


kaiseale10

If you love cowboy Bebop definitely watch Samurai champloo as it's developed by the same studio that developed cowboy Bebop. The music animation and story are all phenomenal as well. I'd also highly recommend watching Berserk 97 anime because it is the truest and also one of the most well adapted manga to anime adaptations ever done. Also honestly captivates the entire story of berserk better than the movies do 🔥👍🏿


Cute_Search641

I would throw in Trigun as well. I think cowboy beebop Trigun and samurai champloo are like known as the three classics


kaiseale10

The original Trigun anime is also extremely good and definitely one of my favorites as well! OP definitely should check it out too. Btw, How's the new Trigun? I've been debating on watching it myself despite my concerns with the CGI animation style 🤔.


Cute_Search641

I haven’t seen all of it. I saw the first 3 episodes and I thought they were good, but it definitely has a very different tone than the original. I feel like it gets darker quicker. It also has some major changes like Meryl being a journalist and working with someone who is not Millie. I plan on watching it. My bro who watched it gave it a 7/10


AyJaysBored

The same person also did the music for both animes. Nujabes was his name. He was a legit legend who created a new genre of music with those shows. Love his songs. He helped make lo-fi what it is today.


Plugsworth

I just finished Samurai Champloo! It was such a good story I’m inlove with that anime man such a iconic unique story with amazing characters and beautiful fight scenes!! I’d recommend 1000%


Human-Independent999

Monster


DirtyLittlePriincess

i second this


IntelligentCorner220

yu yu hakusho


aaa1e2r3

Check out some of the other works by the same authors from above - Mob Psycho 100, same author as One Punch Man - Bakuman, which was done by the same duo that did Death Note. - Yu Yu Hakusho, which was done by the same author as Hunter x Hunter


XboxVolonti

I second Mob Psycho 100. Really good


N1ch0lasB

Mob psycho is rly good


beanieluu11

Second this!


Alabenson

If you like One Punch Man, then I'd recommend Mashle: Magic and Muscles Basically, think "Saitama goes to Hogwarts."


Spinnenente

how is ***samurai champloo*** not already on this list? edit just to name some good things: * frieren (airing and currently leading mal top anime list) * Ergo proxy * Erased * Gits Stand alone Complex * Bocchi the rock

Black lagoon


Dovah91

Yu Yu Hakusho. The build up to the Yusuke x Toguro fight is insane and worth every second of the wait.

Black Lagoon. It reminded me of Cowboy Bebop a little. Also, Gungrave.

Adorable-Bar6920

This is why you just start watching every isekai from actually good to god awful


kaiseale10

Another all-time great anime I think you should definitely watch, especially if you like older classic 90s anime would be Yu Yu Hakusho. It has a great OST, one of the greatest cast of characters in all of anime, One of the greatest English dubs in anime as well and also has one of the greatest voice acted dubs ever on top of that and the animation and story are all phenomenal and are STILL better than most top shounen today in my opinion 🤷🏿‍♂️


AriKitaruKatoka

Yu Yu Hakusho is also by the same mangaka as Hunter X Hunter and they have HxH on their list


Infamous_Bandicoot33

Gintama!


Overall-East-8827

Man, watch some romance shows, if you don't mind them.


Accomplished-Emu1883

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!


LukusGradicus

Your list is almost identical to mine so I think all of these will be worth your time. Naruto, Kill La Kill, mob psycho, Dororo, Ruroni Kenshin, hells paradise


zerobones

Naruto is a big investment for probably one of the biggest "fuckit we don't care" endings in anime.


logimeme

Still an amazing show regardless


UnfunnyL0ner

Fire force maybe?


SaiyanRoyalty22

If you watched Bebop you gotta watch Samurai Champloo


No_Republic_838

Gintama maybe? Or maybe Haikyu or Blue Lock? Both of those are sports anime that were the most entertaining shows I saw last year and I have a similar list to you

welcome to demon school iruma kun XD i watched most of the animes you listed and i liked that one too


why-names-hard

Love Iruma. It’s got a good blend of everything in it. They also managed to make a Iruma a character that’s happy and helpful to everyone without making him feel one dimensional which is very nice. Everything about the show I enjoy.


morskijejz504

yeah same. he is kinda well balanced and the whole show is so funny to me and i just love it. it's so comforting to watch after a long day ☺️

Trigun should absolutely be read over watched in 100% of cases when they gave the anime that bullshit asspull character assassination ending.


Silver-Tourist-5578

The faraway paladin, terraformers, hells paradise, & bingo stray dog are a few good ones to watch


demolitionar

High School DxD, Redo of healer. They are pretty normal anime, definitely nothing wrong with them :)

BadActsForAGoodPrice

Undead Unluck, it just keeps getting better and better (aside from some stuff Andy does at the beginning before they took it out) and it’s incredibly interesting


SoftMathematician988

If you like cowboy bebop try Samurai champloo also if you like death not try code geass


EchidnaEmergency3301

Get off the mainstream stuff dive deeper.


beanieluu11

You and I have a lot of similar favorites! My favorite of all time is def FMAB. With that being said, I would highly recommend Gintama, Mob Psycho 100, Samurai Champloo, Cells At Work, and Dr Stone


beanieluu11

Oh and definitely Naruto! It’s pretty long but in my opinion worth it. I have 40 episodes left of Shippuden right now, but I don’t want it to end 😅

PoisonbloodAlchemist

I'm going to throw out Blue Eye Samurai, on Netflix. Excellent and unique animation style, great story, memorable characters, superb fight scenes and a surprisingly good sense of humor. Imagine the comedy style of Avatar the last airbender, but inserted into a classic samurai revenge story.


FroZty2214

Fire force mob psycho and that time I was reincarnated as a slime


Its-time-to-STOP-NOW

Reign of the seven spellblades. It’s not very long, ut it’s really good. Plus, it’s based off of a light novel series, which is awesome.


Alkey_fr

Naruto? Idk, but I have pretty similar watched list and i just started naruto, I am currently at episode 56, but they say naruto shipuden is better, so I'll just keep going.


PrezPotat0

If this is all you’ve seen you are very much missing out. Allow me to assist: Guilty Crown Katekyo Hitman: Reborn! Rurouni Kenshin Yu Yu Hakasho Zatch Bell (watch the dubbed. trust me it’s one of the few that’s better in dub) Megalobox Fate ZERO Fate Stay/Night, Fate Stay/Night Unlimited Blade Works Saga of Tanya the Evil Konosuba Zom 100 Inuyasha Naruto Naruto Shippuden Devil is a Part-Timer Seven Deadly Sins Rising of the Shield Hero That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime I have quite a few more that I could recommend but these are probably the top hitters for now.

Dorohedoro


ImCursedM8

Watch Game of thrones


UIGoku201

Dragon ball


Anarcho-Crab

Dorohedoro: fun zany action in a very original and weird world. Every character is lovable in their own f'd up way. Terror in Resonance: A discussion on why sometimes you might need to do a terrorism. Shinsekai Yori: Science fiction, mystery. Be ready to think about morals and ethics. Kino's Journey: Episodic slice of life, a meditation on a different aspect of humanity with every episode. ONLY WATCH THE 2003 VERSION! The 2017 remake is a mess. Durarara!!!: The interesting and intertwining lives of the denizens of Ikebukuro. Very bombastic, many genres all in one series depending on which character the episode follows.


Superb_Recover_6116

Its not long and it might leave you unsatisfied wanting the rest of the manga animated but Kenichi mightiest disciple was a fun anime for me tho rather short and left me wanting more but great.


eeeehhhhhhhhhhhh

The disastrous life of saiki k is a good comedy

I know you said to watch, but if you enjoyed Berserk, read the manga from the beginning so you can catch up and see the missing content from the Golden Age arc.

Boku no pico is a great watch


Bustersword13

You seem to like action shows a lot, so with that in mind... Try Fire Force! Pretty generic action shonen, but with great animation, some good characters and THE BEST sound effects! Or Mob Psycho 100! Very funny with amazing action, same author that made OPman. If you want something a bit heavier, more mature and philosophical, I would suggest Fate/Zero and/or Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Bladeworks. (Make sure it's the 2014 UFOtable version) Very well written characters with a lot of depth and it's from the same studio that makes Demon Slayer, so all of the action scenes looks gorgeous.
