I find that if you want good anime recommendations, the recommendation must come from someone that doesn’t like anime. Anime fans tend to be really out of touch with certain baselines… like not being an open pervert.(I’ve seen that hentai hoodie, don’t lie.) Also people who don’t like anime can distinguish between “good for an anime” and “good”.
So I offer mine: Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Spirited Away.
I’m not an ‘anime fan,’ but there is good anime out there like Paprika and Aku no Hana. They really push what the medium is capable of and don’t just rely on tropes to appease people with low standards.
It’s tough to recommend anime to some people because their opinion of the medium has been tainted by anime fans that will accept whatever slop is shoveled in front of their face.

Part of the problem with recommending anime is that if all you care about is eliminating prev, you’re going to miss some gems.
Like, are you really going to hang Evangelion out to dry? Are you tossing Sailor Moon and Card Capture Sakura in the dumpster over some skimpy outfits? Kill a Kill is crazy pervy, but it’s also an incredible ride.
So I offer mine: Spirited Away.
Miyazaki is a treasure. But imagine passing on Kiki’s Delivery Service or Princess Monanoke.
and Cyberpunk Edgerunners
Rebecca alone. Come on. How is that not underaged sexualization.
I watched Edgerunners a few weeks ago, and I was kinda surprised by how little Rebecca bothered me. Aside from her introduction, she isn’t sexualized any more than any other female character except Dorio, and her personality really clashes with her character design. Visually she looks young, but actually watching the show, she didn’t really read as child-coded to me
Haven’t watched the other miyazaki movies so I’m not the person to recommend them.
And Rebecca is very obviously not a child. She’s just short. She literally gave a dude a blow job barely off screen no way would that shit fly if she was a minor. Lol.
After giving the medium a chance, not sure I wouldn’t call myself a fan anymore, but I certainly take issues with the typically associated tropes. So here’s my list of more recent shows with either very little or none of these.
Solo leveling
Hells paradise
Chainsaw man
Jujutsu kaisen
Demon slayer
Vinland saga
Attack on titan
Dan DA dan
Bluelock
Hunter x hunter
Spy family
Bocchi the rock
Apothecary diaries

I’ve seen that hentai hoodie -
at the high school I worked at.
I completely agree with this.

It’s funny, because I don’t like a single anime you just mentioned.
shrug
That’s too bad.

As a not anime fan, mine were Samurai Champloo, Bleach (though I stopped 100 episodes in), Cowboy Bebop. Also all of Ghibli.
