Almost everyone is tourists on this topic. OP is talking about Trigun, other people are recommending Shield Hero and Berserk and Fist of the North Star. The most surface level of shows possible, likely because they only engage with things that are already popular and have thriving fanbases to meme with.
I think that's just as big an issue as any woke bullshit. The fact that people just need their entertainment to be half social/team bullshit that they can be a tribe with. It not only limits them to the same cliche "I'll sound cool if I recommend this one" lines, but constantly exposed playing right into the Woke's hands by leaving that gaping vulnerability of needing fandoms to enjoy things.
People recommend those shows because they're good.
Now I can sit here and recommend someone go watch Kamen No Maid Guy just for the scene where he plugs a USB into his ear because I think it's hilarious, but the simple truth is that Berserk or Shield Hero are just straight up better shows so they're the ones that I'm going to recommend someone. Hell, even a good but more obscure show like No Edo Rocket is going to be lower down on the priority list because it's more of an acquired taste and without knowing the individual's tastes well enough I'm not going to know that pointing them in that direction isn't going to just waste their time.
They're also so well known that if you've watched any anime you already know of them and their quality. Heck most of them you already know half the twists and famous scenes because the memes are so pervasive you've seen them all before you even could sit down to read it (see, Donovan's face and the Rape Horse from Berserk).
Also:
Shield Hero being good
This nigga stopped watching before the Spirit Turtle started.
Does it actually improve from there? I dropped out (manga reader) when after Spirit Turtle it implied he was going to another another world and realized I hadn't enjoyed it since Bitch's trial.

You wish. I'm looking forward to season 4.
