Tbh i dont even think this is the right sub to ask…
Have you watched the Rebuild of Evangelion films? I think they’re pretty good
Or maybe just Evangelion if you haven’t seen it already
Berserk, cowboy bebop, basically anything that normal people can watch and doesn’t cater to only weebs
most movies by Miyazaki, the ‘‘anime was a mistake’’ guy, not the one that makes videogames
The Wind Rises is super sus but yes. Studio Ghibli has made some amazing movies.
Pokemon and Danganronpa
FMAB. Jojo. Gundam… Hmmm can’t think more right now…
I enjoyed Planetes a lot. Good story with no “fan-service” (at least I don’t remember any)
There’s literally none, it’s an old-school cartoon for adults which takes itself seriously enough. Must watch, one of the few cartoons free of any typical “weeb shit”.
In addition to my other comment, Cells at Work is very good and actually educational. It’s also almost as if the cells in your body are like little communists all working for the good of the whole of their society, which is your body. And I love it.
It also made me fall in love with lactobacillus and I eat way more fermented foods now and make my own.
The “code black” offshot is kind of fucked up and like some bastardized, hyper sexualized, super violent version of the original but also goes into how bad certain things are for you like smoking and shit. I was already starting to work on a healthier lifestyle before watching that one but it definitely helped my motivation. It’s… a little traumatizing.
Watch Porco Rosso if you hadn’t already. Other Ghibli works are also recommended.
It’s not always a bad idea to watch some of the cringe ones too. Just so you can really get a true and proper hatred for them.
Also Scissors Seven is amazing and also produced in China. Original language in Mandarin. Don’t watch the dub it’s bad.
Mob psycho 100, full metal alchemist (brotherhood) are my favorite
I thought the first FMA anime was good as well, even if the ending is
a bit weird
Mob psycho is so underrated, that’s an anime i recommend everyone.

Bro you down with mangas?
Yes.
The Spy X Family manga is pretty wholesome and cute.
🤲
Ajin is my personal favorite. There’s an anime too but the manga is better in my opinion. It takes itself very seriously yet still has some funny moments. Beware the chicken wings.
Then i’d reccomend
Blue Period This manga is Anxiety itself
Onani Master Kurosawa You’ll be weirded out at the start but as u go on it gets good trust me
Oyasumi Punpun Sachi
Nan Hao and Shang Feng Funny manhua with short chapters like 9 or 10 usually
5 centimeters per second it felt a little stretched but the first half is 🤲
Oyasumi punpun… One of the best thing I ever read in my life, and I mean including books, manga, comics… That thing was something else. I really need to read it again
I watched these quite a while back, so there could very well be some liberal bullshit in there, but I remember liking (sorted by from shortest to longest) Inuyashiki, One Punch Man, Parasyte, Kaiji, Monster, Hunter x Hunter, and several of the ones in the other comments
For manga, there are far more if you’re interested
Parasyte made me so fucking sad. Few pieces of media have had that type of impact on me. Take that as you will.
I watched a few clips on youtube and was absolutely disgusted by what I saw. That anime seems nightmare fuel.
Never read anything by Junji Ito
Body horror gang
Right – I’d add that the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter might be a “skip” if you’re not OK with tragedy, and possibly Inuyashiki as well
(Also, the second season of One Punch Man doesn’t look so hot, so maybe just watch the first one)
I love tragedy because my empathy problems don’t let me feel sad when I watch/read something most of the time. Parasyte just hit different when I watched it.
I was like: Oh, no. I’ve miscalculated.
There are significant elements of cringe but I’ve been watching Birdie Wing and it rules
By cringe you mean fan service right? I’d recommend Mob Psycho 100, MEGALOBOX and Oddtaxi, 0 fan service on those.
Love the soundtrack from Megalo Box
