A few years ago I would have laughed at anime. I thought it was nothing more than Japanese kids cartoons with that anime girl artwork the "weird" girls drew when I was in high school. Was never into any sort of comics so didn't have exposure to that.
That's until I got bored with western stuff being just not good anymore. At the time I didn't hate it for the wokeness because I hadn't paid enough attention to that, but I just knew the shows were getting really shit. So I decided to give it anime a try. Here we are at the end of 2021 and I'm not sure I watched a single series of anything close to a modern Western fictional series the entire year.
One that I recommend to everyone is Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It's a very political space opera. If you're here on KiA2 I feel you'll have enough knowledge and interest to get sucked in to the story. LoGH is also extremely based.
I love fantasy the most. Action-focused things, steampunk is always a plus. Not really into romance and harem and such.
I also generally love stories about historical/semi-historical people and events that are just odd and lesser known. I'm really excited about starting Golden Kamuy, if that makes it clearer what I mean.

Any anime you would recommend?
I used to be majorly into anime, but then shit happened and I'm out of the loop with current stuff.
What genres are you interested in?
Fantasy, scifi, historical, comedy, romance, etc?
