    -Gurren Laggan -Trigun -Code Geass -FMA -Tanya the Evil

    For FMA, start with the original, because they spend more time during the opening chapters, and switch to Brotherhood at the exact scene when they vault the labratories fence.

    I don’t watch much anime, but from the shows I have watched I view fondly and can see myself rewatching:

    • Dragon Ball
    • Detective Conan
    • Neon Genesis Evangelion

    In no particular order

    • Frieren
    • Natsume’s Book of Friend
    • Tanaka-kun is always listless
    • Hunter x Hunter (2011)
    • Seitokai Yakuindomo

    And if the rest of the season is as good as the pilot episode, Journal with Witch. I’ve been waiting for the episode to comes out so I can hear what Asa was singing before the Bieber joke. It was delightful.

    Eh, I’ll throw Sword of the Demon Hunter there aswell. I’m in my mid 30s so I don’t really care about battle scene as much, though I wish it got better animations. You could say the story is similar to Frieren, though not as tight.

    Frieren

    Girls’ last tour

    Azumanga Daioh

    Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun

    Ouran high school host club

    No particular order but the first two resonated with me albeit in different ways. The latter 3 just land really well in the humor department. There’s a heavy bit of nostalgia for Azumanga and Ouran specifically, and Ouran itself is definitely dated in a lot of ways. But a recent rewatching of Ouran cemented my enjoyment of it even today, along with making me realize that I just really like melodrama.

    1. Dragon Ball Z
    2. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
    3. Cowboy Bebop
    4. Death Note
    5. Trigun

    I’ll go ahead and knock out the ‘normie that watched anime on TV twenty years ago’ list.

    I’ve got a handful of others I’ve seen and liked, plus some older and newer ones I plan to watch. But I need to really branch it out a little.

      Cowboy Bebop hooked me deep the first time I just saw it, and just at the intro… 🤘🏼❤️‍🔥

        One of my all time favorites.

        I verge on calling it my favorite, but I feel like Bebop or Eva could also take that spot pretty easily.

        (edit: I hate to feel the need to clarify that I mean the ORIGINAL 6-episode show FLCL, and not the 4 extra seasons of tacked-on bullshit that Adult Swim cooked up.)

        You got me! 😅 Well… Was there really a better time for anime?

        I am quite fond of some of the 80s (Gunbuster and Z Gundam are cool!) and 70s (Lupin the 3rd and Galaxy Express 999) shows.

        Other honorable mentions from my favorites: Ghost in the Shell SAC+2nd gig, Diebuster, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Tatami Galaxy, Ping Pong, Kaiba, Trigun, Trava First Planet, Space Patrol Luluco… too many more to name.

        Last year was pretty great too, with GQuuuuuuX, New Panty and Stocking, and CITY!

    1 - Redline

    2 - Cowboy Bebop

    3 - Clevatess (so far)

    4 - Gungrave

    5 - Yu Yu Hakusho

    Runners up:

    Teenager me liked way different list but idk if I could say if any aged well from my PoV like Trigun, Outlaw Star, Blood+, Kill La Kill, Gurren Lagann, Armor Hunter Mellowlink… many more. Not that I mind if it’s cheesy. I started watching One Piece at 35 years old lmao.

      Red-liiiiiiine, red-liiiiiiine, directed by Takeshi Koike wiki-wikiwiki-wiki.

      Technically a movie and not a show, but also one of my all-time favorites. :)

      I love Trigun, and I think the characters and world-building hold up today, but the show definitely gets a little shoddy just before the end. Tsuneo Imahori’s soundtrack for Trigun is incredible.

      I think Gurren Lagann also holds up. There’s a couple lulls in the show for sure, but overall it’s got great action and drama and some amazing animation set-pieces. (I never liked Kill La KIll that much.)

      Going back to Outlaw Star is tough, imo, it’s waaaay cheesier than I remembered it being.
