I have a notepad with most of the anime I have seen on it that I'm gonna paste below.
"
To Watch:
kimetsu no yaiba
Redline
samurai 7
parasyte series
gangsta!
hellsing ultimate
Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
trigun
afro samurai
100 random shit
psycho pass
ghost in the shell
ergo proxy
durara series
one punch season 2
more bobs burgers
d grey man and the reboot or whatever
gungrave
jojos bizarre adventure
yu yu hakusho
blue gender
Lupin The third
Cowboy Bebop Movie
blue excorcist two

Watched:
samurai champloo
cowboy bebop
space dandy
steins gate series
tokyo ghoul series
outlaw star
kakegirikui netflix whatever the fuck it's called
bacanno
black lagoon
michiko and hatchin
Shiki
Anko
Sinbad Series
Speed Grapher
Jormungand

If they're tabbed over it's because I have started them/haven't finished them yet
Out of all of these I really reccomend Black Lagoon, 91 Days, and Outlaw Star
Tokyo Ghoul if you're into intense animes with some gore\
Edit: Jormungand is also really good

See, Berserk is good.
Its mature. Like, really really really mature.
Dark themes galore. People being cut in half and all sorts of uber violence. This comes part and parcel with the fact the main character is essentially a "Berserker", and for good reasons since the shit he's had to go through...and watch, would break anybody.

My problem with it is the anime series.
So my constructive criticism...
The anime series SUCK.

The animation style is just so...jarring and hard for me, personally, to watch. It's all CGI and in my opinion, not even that great.
Final Fantasy Spirit Within, one of the first CGI movies, that's a good example of CGI being used for the whole product. Berserk...not so much.

If you're open to reading Manga though...I'd 100% recommend the Manga.

One I would suggest, just for the laughs, is "Ghost Stories".
It has to be dubbed though.
They basically threw the anime at the dubbing company and told them to do it English.
What they failed to provide though, is an actual working script.
So...they ad-libbed.

Once again, it is a dated anime, but dear god, some of the scenes.

Just go and search "not because you're a rabbit" on YouTube. You'll find the correct clip easily enough. :rofl2:

Sooooooooooo much story has happened since then. Hell, that finished on the eclipse. You can't just end a series on that.
Oh, no I know, it's just for what it was worth it was a decent adaptation of the Golden Age Arc & A General good intro to the series; but yes, you're 100% correct, the vast majority of the manga was not done justice as far as any additional adaptations were concerned. That said, where the Puck is chapter 360?!!?! Moira pls!

Yeah, tell me about it. The 1997 adaptation is good, and with a good animation style, but the amount of content that has happened since then. The new characters, the character developments, the horse, the PT baby, the armour, the dopeass demon designs, the poor broken doll.

But yeah, the more recent adaptations are just...ugly to look at. I mean it can't be that difficult to do a proper anime animation style version of the story and catch up, new chapters seem to come out every half a year. (Kill me)

Steins;Gate is a masterpiece

Steins;Gate, Chaos;Head/Child are what got me into Visual Novels.
And they actually did a damn good job of porting everything that happened in S;G into the anime, so I have to commend them for that too.
I would certainly recommend it.
It might be a bit slow at the beginning but that's mainly to introduce the characters and their personalities. It is, however, mind bending. So make sure you're sober when you watch it. :D

Nothing, really, mostly fighting, but I already put a large list together for now that I will edit sometimes if an anime doesn't catch my interest.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, it seems by now you have a lot of good responses to work with but I did notice three titles no one else mentioned yet as far as the fighting genre goes.

  • Trigun
  • Fist of The North Star
  • hajime no ippo (This one is just straight boxing, nothing super natural, but it's very critically acclaimed)
  • Big O
  • Akame Ga Kill
If you're willing to go into other genres here are some other ones I do not believe anyone mentioned

Psychological/Horror
  • Serial Experiments Lain (Late 90s Internet Sci Fi, what's not to love!).
  • Monster (74 Episodes, Famous Japanese Neurosurgeon in Germany during the 1990s is framed for a triple homicide he did not commit and is on the run to clear his name)
  • Higurashi (Do not let the first episode/art style throw you off, this show is downright horrifying)
  • School Days (Same as above)
  • Ergo Proxy (Post Apocalypse, Robots Servants Gaining Free Will & Rampaging, Some Cool Fights)
Romance (Nothing Pervy)
  • Welcome To The NHK (I would save this for when you are comfortably into weeb territory, this will make you self loathe so hard, lol)
  • Spice & Wolf (The Story of a Medieval Merchant Discovering a Treasure More Valuable Than Gold... Love).

If I may slip a message for OP here, don't watch Chaos;Head. Go play the VN instead. S;G is good (but I don't know where you get that idea of them porting everything in it. They only ported the True Route, there a lot more in the VN). Same comment than C;H for S;G 0. The anime is hurtful to watch. They tried to mash all the route from the VN, and it "just works". - Todd Howeeb

Since people mentioned MAL, here's my account. Peruse to your heart content.

Hmmm, yeah, you might be right actually.
Been years since I read the Visual Novel. Just a little less since I watched the anime.

I would agree and say read the visual novel over the anime, but OP is a starting weeb so jumping straight into VNs might be a high hurdle.

OP, for clarification, in case it's the first time you've heard of Visual Novels, they're essentially a book, but with background picture visuals and characters pictures. It's hard to explain, but they're like picture books, if picture books came with an actual fully fleshed out story. If you like reading, then I would suggest reading some Visual Novels instead of their applicable Animes. Most can be found on the internet for PC, but they've recently started porting some visual novels to consoles too. I believe the original Steins;Gate, and a number of the subsequent spin off/sequels can be found on the PS4 store.

But again, Visual Novels are just books with pictures, so if you're not much of a reader, then Visual Novels might not be for you.

Watching subbed anime is pretty much like reading a book imo lol.
If you want the full experience, but with animation exactly like the anime, play Steins;Gate Elite either on Switch or PS4.

Ok, so I didn't have time to make a MAL or a proper list, but I did have time to make a Crunchyroll account.
In the meantime, I also found a way to get around the ads: crunchyroll-dl.
It's just like youtube-dl, but for Crunchyroll, and it downloads all episodes in high quality, all for offline view.

I'll start with Konosuba tomorrow, hopefully.
