Most of my exposure with anime was whatever was on Toonami and Adult Swim in the 2000s. I’ve not watched stuff like, Ghost In The Shell, Cowboy Bebop (only disjointed episodes out of order), Neon Genesis Evangelion, which I know are highly regarded.
I’ve seen just about every Miyazaki movie at this point. I’ve seen Akeria.
I’m sure there’s more mainstream shows and non mainstream shows that I’m missing and would enjoy.
Thoughts?
Azumanga Daioh is on youtube in its entirety and might be my favorite anime. Watch it.
Akiba Maid War is a fun “what if the Yakuza was made up of maid cafes?” show
If you like ecchi stuff Ganbare Douki-Chan is a very cute romance anime about office workers, all free on youtube, only about 45 minutes in total
