Only takes shows I’ve seen into consideration, so maybe one day I’ll do another, more comprehensive one. Make it a collaborative effort maybe?
Whatever, it was fun to make this afternoon.
Cool, been on a bit of an anime kick lately so nice to have recommendations broken down like this. Looking at your list I think you would really like Odd Taxi, it felt really unique I haven’t seen anything else quite like it. Quite funny and kinda cute with really good story telling, Whole thing is only 13 episodes.
Yeah, I started it back when it first aired but got distracted by other stuff and never got around to finishing it, which is why I haven’t included it here.
The antrophomorphic animal thing put me off, but the story was good.

Don’t know how to say anything without giving spoilers but you shouldn’t let that aspect of it turn you off.
Major end of show spoiler
Seriously this will ruin one of the coolest parts of the show.
The world isn’t athropomorphic at all, the main character is dealing with basically a psychotic break and maybe a tbi and just sees everything around him that way.
I’ve only included shows I’ve watched, as I mentioned and none of these are on my list 😔
And Dr. Stone is undoubtedly Reddit , even if it is not the worst show to exist.
I would personally recommend: Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - probably the most I’ve ever laughed at anime, a high-school rom-com with added jokes about manga industry. Each character is fantastic, they are hillarious. Hataraku Maō-sama! - reverse-isekai, Devil from the other world ends up in contemporary Japan and has to work in McDonalds. Great art, great characters, very funny, and most importantly - finally, an anime about actual working people. The hero sent to stop the MC works as tech support, and they have to schedule their fights so it doesn’t interfere with their work.
I just finished Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-Kun.
I kinda loved it. It’s like Hinamatsuri, where a great show won’t get a second season is it?
Ah well, Manga time it is.
As for The Devil is a Part Timer: E1 was kinda mid, I thought, but by the second episode it improves a lot and actually introduces an interesting plot.
No Akira or Metropolis? These are some of the best anime movies.
Also, no Osamu Tekuza? Most of his mangas suffers from ignorance and racist caricatures towards native americans, africans and some asian people due to the American influence on Japanese culture and media. But the anime adaptations are usually quite innocent and enjoyable.
Akira is good - I would have placed it had I more space. I haven’t gotten around to watching Metropolis yet.
As for Tezuka, I’ve read some of his manga but the only anime I’ve seen of his works are Belladonna of Sadness (psychosexual 70s arthouse about witchcraft and morality - good movie, but hard to recommend) and Rain Boy (1983 - pretty good but is a kids’ tale in its core and I kinda forgot I watched it until now)
If you want comedy, I recommend Konosuba. It is a little raunchy at times, but it’s pretty funny.
I’ve seen it. It takes a while to get good IMO but eventually it does.
It’s basically a spiritual successor to Slayers, if it were an isekai and more NSFW.
