Anime Recommendations

So here's an initial list of anime recommendations.

Some from "The Criterion Collection"

Samurai Champloo - Crunchyroll

About samurai and hip hop. Music slaps. RIP Nujabes.

Cowboy Bebop - Crunchyroll

About space cowboys, bounty hunting, and there's a cute corgi. Music also slaps.

Carole & Tuesday - Netflix

About two girls trying to make it in the music industry. Same universe as Cowboy Bebop. Music definitely slaps.

Akira (movie) - Hulu Plus

It's kinda gory, but it's a classic!

Every Ghibli Movie - HBO Max and wherever else you can find it

They're masterpieces. 'nuff said.

The Eccentric Family - Crunchyroll

This show is pretty interesting and about tanuki. Fantasy set in contemporary times.

Recently Hot Stuff

Spy x Family - Crunchyroll

Great show to watch with the family.

Chainsaw Man - Crunchyroll

Don't watch with your family! LOL

It's the highlight of its season.

Ya Boy Kongming! - HiDive

Reverse Isekai. Fun show to watch, music's not bad. Some great rap and hip hop as well. About people trying to make it in the music industry. Kongming's a great character.

Call of the Night - HiDive

About vampires and a teenager that discovers their world. Music slaps IMO.

Raven of the Inner Palace - Crunchyroll

Romantic Chinese show about a consort and a new emperor where the consort mostly deals with ghosts and curses and stuff. Supernatural. Very pretty show.

Serious Stuff

Shadows House - Crunchyroll

Interesting mystery-filled anime. Just go in blind. Pretty good show IMO.

Made in Abyss - HiDive

Gory anime, I honestly stopped after a while because I couldn't take it anymore. However, I still recommend people try it out and see if it's for them.

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju - Crunchyroll

Great show, recommended for mature-minded audiences. Period drama with some really good Rakugo as well. Music slaps.

Victorian Romance Emma - Crunchyroll

Period romantic drama set in England. It's very charming, and the author is an Anglophile, so be prepared for interesting minute details.

Another - Crunchyroll

Thriller anime. Great if you like spooky stuff.

Boogiepop and Others - Crunchyroll

Supernatural mystery anime set in Tokyo. I don't know how to best describe it, but it's pretty good.

More Light-Hearted Stuff

Kaguya-sama - Crunchyroll

Multiple seasons. Really good and funny rom-com. Music slaps.

Horimiya - Crunchyroll

Cute boy-meets-girl story and about their classmates as well. Must-watch if you're into romance.

Poyopoyo - Crunchyroll

Great for kids and people with short attention spans! Cute cat.

Konosuba - Crunchyroll

Isekai. Very funny show, I highly recommend this one.

Laid-Back Camp - Crunchyroll

About high school girls camping. Very relaxing and educational.

Ghost Stories (dubbed) - Crunchyroll

If you're gonna watch this, watch the English dub. It's pretty funny.

Flying Witch - Crunchyroll

Real light-hearted fun anime about a witch in the countryside of Japan. If you want to just relax and have a good time, this is the show to watch.

Sekko Boys - Crunchyroll

Short-form anime with some really funny skits. I recommend watching it if you have a few minutes to spare every now and then.

Other Gems

Chihayafuru - Crunchyroll

Multiple seasons. Really refreshing story about a card game named Karuta and the development of the characters in the story about it.

March Comes in Like a Lion - Crunchyroll

Drama about Shogi players. It can be pretty melancholic and uncomfortable at times, but the story is really good IMO.

ODDTAXI - Crunchyroll

Mystery drama, pretty good. Full of animal characters. Don't get spoiled! 10/10 writing.

The Perfect Insider - Crunchyroll

Pretty good murder mystery, music slaps.
