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

3-gatsu no lion or in English: March comes in like a lion. One of the best anime series I've ever watched.

I hate cliche anime bs so I usually can't stand regular slice of life or shonen but this slice of life feels a lot more real with minimal anime bs.

If you don't like anime bs, I'd highly recommend it. By anime bs I mean like high school kids, power of friendship, fan service, etc.

That's an interesting way of recommending. I'll keep in mind

Can't stand anime bs. What's some anime that I can specifically avoid for fan service?

If you are not joking and are looking for anime with can service, there is a great youtube series that is really entertaining called "Good Anime You Can't Watch In Public". You can check that series out as there are some spicy anime on that list. Here's the first video in the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEhZRXA3zNE

Thanks, I will definitely check this list.

I really hope Grenadier is on here.
