Most of my exposure with anime was whatever was on Toonami and Adult Swim in the 2000s. I’ve not watched stuff like, Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop (only disjointed episodes out of order), Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I know are highly regarded.
I’ve seen just about every Miyazaki movie at this point. I’ve seen Akeria.
I’m sure there’s more mainstream shows and non mainstream shows that I’m missing and would enjoy.
Thoughts?
I third? fourth? Brotherhood! I actually have a tradition of every few years watching A:TLA and then watching Brotherhood because it was how I introduced a late friend of mine to anime. They’re both really good stories about leaving your life behind and finding yourself on a journey.
