My favorite anime series' have to be Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Neon Genesis Evangelion. I really love it when the series I'm watching has a distinct artistic identity, like Jojo's visuals and music, and Evangelion's one of a kind aesthetic. My favorite movies also happen to be animated, I highly recommend these three: Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Angel's Egg and Redline. All three of them are incredible artistic achievements in different regards and I could rewatch them forever and be happy 🙏

For shows, The Apothecary Diaries, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Demon Slayer, DanDaDan, and Ranma 1/2's remake are all really hot and well-received right now. If you've seen all of those, try some older titles like Blue Gender, Blue Exorcist, Madoka Magica, Fruits Basket, Made in Abyss, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing, Trigun, Erased, or Tokyo Mew Mew.

With anime movies, it's a great time to catch up on films you may have missed over the years, like Suzume, Perfect Blue, Wolf Children, A Silent Voice, Paprika, Vexille, or Vampire Hunter D.

I'd recommend checking out some of these 90's anime movies:
  • End of Evangelion
  • Princess Mononoke (or anything Studi Ghibli)
  • Ghost in the Shell
  • Akira

I recommend Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, there is ALOTTT OF BLOOD and like just one episode of nudity, and VERY VERY SAD TEAR JERKING BACKSTORY'S, BUT! They're coming out with a Infinite Castle movie and the 2nd and 3rd part I'm pretty sure comes out in like 2 or 3 years. But the point is it's really decent and funny I think It took me one year or a couple of months bc of school. ANYWAYS, IF YOU SEE A FIREY HEADED CHARACTER IN A WHOLE EPISODE WITH THE FOUR MAIN CHARACTERS, just become prepared with tissues... you'll need it... :{

"The shield hero" is a really underrated one, I love it and it is sooooo good. "Romantic killer" is also good, so is "Kimi ne Todoke (from me to you)", "My hero academia" is a nice classic, and "Ouran host club" An unpopular opinion is that I think "one piece" is not worth it, I watched a little bit of it and I could not get into it, I did not like the art style or the storyline:(
