The original Legend of the Galactic Heroes. This is top tier sci fi, politics, and mitary drama that is more impactful today than when the original novel was written.

I keep recommending Ancient Magus Bride. Nobody watches...
It's a seriously good anime with some slice of life and drama, an amazing magical world and SUPER GOOD SOUNDTRACK
If anyone reading this watches it, I beg of you, please tell me what you thought

Monogatari series. I must have watched that entire series like a dozen times already. I absolutely love the VA's performance. Finally reading through the Light Novels now.
Hajime No Ippo. Manga is still a blast and the anime was incredible too.
I had a good time with Blue Lock as well.
Cowboy Bebop, trigun and hajime no ippo
Made in Abyss - really good but definitely not for the faint hearted and I only recommend this to people who ask me for dark anime with a disclaimer on the more questionable content. The version I watched was the heavily censored one. I was surprised to find out that the creator is Akihito Tsukushi, the same person who did the designs for the Elebits games! Of course, I'm separating the art from the artist here, but his name popping up made me nostalgic in a way.
Neon Genesis Evangelion - If you like biblically accurate angels, this is the anime for you!
Cowboy Bebop - has a very likeable main cast, an artstyle that I find very appealing, and it touches on themes that a lot of people can relate to despite the sci-fi setting!
Scavengers Reign - this one's pretty trippy and has some great creature designs! It only has one season so far (curse ye, Max!)
I'm not an anime guy. But I'll occasionally pop one on if the plot interests me. Vinland saga was good, Castlevania as well. I know the American anime haters will hate me. Aside from that I randomly watched "my happy marriage"with my wife and it was really good and I actually can't wait till season 2
Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.
I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/
I'm always trying to get people watching Konosuba it's just funny but yeah I liked it so much I read the novels and spinoff.

TV: Letterkenny immediately followed by Shoresy. Shoresy is a spinoff, so you really should watch Letterkenny first, although you don't necessarily have to
Seinfeld, probably no need to explain (Edit: how could I leave out Curb Your Enthusiasm here?)
Adult Cartoons: King of the Hill, Bob's Burgers, Archer, Frisky Dingo. I could go on for a while about adult animation
Anime: Samurai Champloo, Baki the Grappler, Baki, Baki Hanma, Oshi No Ko, and Zombieland Saga. Plenty more, but I'll stop here for now
Summary: I like TV way more than movies. My favorites being Comedy/Sitcoms and Dragon Ball/Z/Super
Edit: Does professional wrestling count? I fucking love me some WWE
The Magicians- the musical episodes are amazing.
Lately Slow Horses on apple+
Very good UK agent/crime show.
My Deer Friend is amazing.
Which reminds me that there's probably a new episode out right now. 😃
I also would always recommend the staples in anime:
Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball, DBZ, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rouroni Kenshin, Full Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, and Ninja Scroll.
- Frieren — fantasy, drama about an elf dealing with feelings she didn’t think she had
- Delicious in Dungeon — Fantasy, comedy/light drama about rescuing a party member and eating monsters along the way.
- Kaguya Sama — rom-com about not losing the love war
- Konosuba — Isekai comedy about… nothing really
- That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime — Isekai about being reincarnated as a slime monster, then building a wonderful found family community of monsters.
They’re all pretty light hearted but all are well made and fun.
—edited for formatting
Just a few off the top of me head.
Because of the way you formatted that, it all showed up one word after the others and it tells something about the genre that I couldn't recognise how many you mentioned. Thought it was like a single name for an anime show. Which imo wouldn't be unheard of
yeah sorry about that, I had paragraph returns but didn’t come through—mobile app glitch.

Higurashi when they cry. Not the new stuff but the old stuff.
Just visited the village it's based off of IRL and man was it a sight to behold. Simply a beautiful area.
Bojack Horseman and Violet Evergarden. If someone is a bit deeper into anime, Tatami Galaxy as well, since the subs go pretty fast. Ping Pong the Animation gets a nod if folks aren't super hung up on aesthetic.
