It’s old but I just finished the show and then the movie and, wow, it was so damn amazing! I also recently watched Dallos which was very cool and timely!
I’m not much of an anime head either. I don’t mind picking up a good story though, and I especially appreciate the beautiful artwork some artists make. In 2018, I tried to set up a block to watch on Hulu during the weekends while ironing my clothes, in imitation of the old Toonami but, I fell off of it. I was checked out for the rise and fall of the whole isekai fantasy genre. I guess I’d like to explore a mix of well-known classics and newer stuff. I’d appreciate any recommendations you have.
I borrowed a lot of Ghibli movies from my college’s library to see. Partially to see them for myself and partially to gain some cultural currency. I appreciate the beauty of the art in some of those animated films.
Oh, for sure! Like I said, I don’t know too much so I might mention ones you already watched but as someone who never really watched them I was totally blown away by a few and really grew to respect anime as a result.
From the New World (Shin Sekai Yori) is my absolute favorite. Psycho-Pass (season 1 only), Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Dallos, Revolutionary Girl Utena.
But I actually really didn’t like Evangelion, which, as someone really interested in religion, was extremely disappointing because I expected much better.
I have to admit, I haven’t watched the Studio Ghibli films but I know I should though. But I watched Grave of the Fireflies!
Have you ever watched Revolutionary Girl Utena?

Heard of it from folks here but, never checked it out so far.
Oh, please do! It’s such a beautiful anime. I’m not a huge anime head but it’s definitely up there among the best I’ve seen.
Which animes do you like?
