i always figured JRPGs were enough anime in my life
but i've watched attack on titan and death note now and enjoyed them both i have no idea what kinds of animes there are i watched dragonball and dragonball z as a child and would not be interested in something like that now. way too slow and low-stakes trails series rankings, probably: FC > Azure > Zero > SC > 3rd > CS3 > CS4 > CS1 > CS2 is that enough information to be able to recommend things to me? preferably on streaming platforms that normies have? or is this a huge ask --- Pronouns - she/her FFXIV - Ultros [Primal] - https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/39263879/ ...

These aren't similar to AoT or Death Note, but they're some of my favorites that I think have wide appeal if you feel like branching out.

Hmm, I'd say some decent "gateway" series would include:

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, if not my favourite media of all time, is almost surely in the top 3. Don't let the cheesy title or ancient graphics put you off. It's an epic space opera where in the future humanity has been split into two factions in a constant struggle, a democracy and a monarchy. Really great characters and great writing, just a lot of fun. I also loved DBZ, Attack on Titan and Death Note! But LotGH is certainly a very different kind of anime than them, but still can't recommend it enough. It should still be available on HiDive and they have a free trial offer but it's 110 episodes (which go by fast, trust me) so probably more than the trial could handle... ... Copied to Clipboard!

Extremely surprised Steins;Gate hasn't been said, that's typically one of the first recs these topics get.
Baccano is the obvious one for me, but yeah can't stream it. However you also can't buy it new physically, so it's morally OK to pirate! Names can only go so far so I'll post some trailers of my strongest recommendations. The Trails list does not help because all of the Trails anime are terrible, and anime that are similar to Trails tend to be bad in general lol. https://youtu.be/-pc4Wfh4WNw?si=46rwLM237a5b-AAz https://youtu.be/EunfWKyWxvc?si=pXKAk2vHmh-TaqpE https://youtu.be/2RzX-uQE1Yg?si=GVh2QRXDtsI6IY8x https://youtu.be/-JTjs4e_UQs?si=3B7UBWGdf0UlMDve https://youtu.be/YzuJnyebc40?si=L-XlSJPIHPK4rTj5 https://youtu.be/z1ot-1HWJ6A?si=ACZ8r6T4gwtBO6nE Trying not to just dump too much. This is a solid block that I think would appeal to what youre looking for. There are shows I would ranks above some of these and dozens more I could list, but theres little point in drowning you with choice. I will also make a recommendation to you for Hunter x Hunter. While this is another long, sometimes intentionally slow Shounen like DBZ, it avoids almost all the trapping I think youd have issue with, and is tropically considered the gold standard for the genre nowadays. https://youtu.be/3k2tl78bfjk?si=im7rMXOEiiuS3DZQ --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 ...

actually checking hidive's list of shows a lot more of them are fully worth watching imo than i realised. they've got a little over 250 series listed now (though some are just separate seasons) and i'd say honestly about 4 in 5 of them are worth watching. their movie section (with close to a hundred entries) mostly has OVA series in it, lots of neat underappreciated stuff i'm a fan of there too, had no idea they had them (eg. honestly i'm tempted to renew my subscription there now lol ...

Parasyte is one of my favs that isn't recommended often. It's a lot like Death Note in style but more of a philosophical theme. The anime is really well written compared to the manga. (Unlike most anime where the manga is far superior, including Death Note which I highly recommend you to read.)
JoJo season 1 is super good for another shonen, and one of the best seasons of TV you can watch. Anti-rec season 2 and beyond though. They're fine but there's better things to watch. One Punch Man season 1 is absolutely flawless, and a good follow up to the humor of JoJo. It really requires you to know the tropes of shonen though. Cells At Work is another fav that's super fun and has real character. It's kinda like OPM where it uses shonen tropes and humor, but also has a surprising amount of emotion. And it's genuinely educational. Also I'll anti-rec Madoka and Psycho Pass. You need to be wayyyyy deeper into anime to give the flaws in those a pass. Also there's so many 1-season shows you really don't need to start on the 20-season shows until much later tbh. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ...

Yeah I really don't see the issue with Psycho Pass or Madoka.Mostly for Psycho Pass, writing is really bad. But maybe less exposure to anime actually makes that better. But if you've read or seen any similar story before (there's a ton) you'll prob be disappointed.
