Here's a list I worked with last year, although "good" is extremely subjective here:
Devilman (Parts 1+2)


I will defend these OVAs to the death. They're childhood favourites of mine, especially the Manga Entertainment dubs.

There's also the 2009 Mazinger Z, if you want a look into the reimagined origin of the genre. I am down with anything Go Nagai.

how good is the yu yu hakusho dub? also how good is the anime? is it like hunter x hunter where the anime is excellent, or is it more like dbz where the anime brings down excellent source material

The anime is fun, but has some padding like DBZ to fill out. I loving love the dub and Kuwabara is great.

For comedy, I still always recommend Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san.

As for good dubs, everything I know has already been mentioned. That said, I still have a soft spot for the Ghost Stories dub.

I had a couple of years where I watched a bunch of anime and had a list of things I thought were really incredible from the medium. But for whatever reason I haven't watched anything new (other than Mushishi S2 and new Ghibli films) in a few years, and presumably there's a bunch of great new stuff out there.

I particularly liked things like Mushishi, Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex, Paranoia Agent, Tatami Galaxy, Planetes, Spice and Wolf, Haibane Renmei, Kino's Journey. A broad spread in terms of subject matter and flavor, but united by a toned-down, subtle approach aiming at "art" as much as "entertainment" (if that's not too crass of a dichotomy). I'm not against action, but let's say I'm somewhat averse to overt anime-isms (eg things like Attack on Titan or Madoka Magica are a bit much). What new stuff has come out in the past few years in the vein of those shows? Thanks!

Try Psycho Pass or Darker than Black.

I need some recommendations. Let me break down likes, dislikes and recently enjoyed.

Things I've enjoyed in the past or present:
  • One punch man
  • JoJo
  • Log Horizon
  • Grimgar
  • SAO/Accel World (mediocre)
  • KonoSuba
  • Soul Eater
  • Fairy Tail (mediocre but fast paced)
  • Spice and Wolf
  • Psychopass

Things I love:
  • Shows that don't take themselves to seriously.
  • Shows about adventure or new worlds
  • Shows that are ridiculous or absurd

poo poo I hate:
  • Slice of life anime. Bonus points if they're all high school kids.
  • Anime about sports (fantasy sports don't count, maybe, assuming that even exists)
  • Gratuitous Gore/Bloody/Super violent. Read: Elfen Lied levels of gratuitous. Psychopass/Berserk are fine.

Please help me pick some fun, good, nice things to watch!

Azumanga's first couple of episdoes are more or less badly paced garbage with nice moments, because it's still trying to follow the 4koma, short skit layout. I think after that the show had a directorial change and it picked up a great deal. Still a bit more dreamlike in pace than other shows I've watched, but good stuff. That theme tune is a classic to me.

I'm actually rewatching Azumanga again thanks to this thread and yeah, first two episodes are gaaaarbage. I mean, I love Osaka as a character but her introduction is so slow paced and awkward that it's pretty painful. Show does pick up after that though, thankfully.

Vision of Escaflowne, it's fantasy mecha though, and not scifi.

It also has alot of Shoujo notes, so be aware of that. It's still one of the best anime series I've watched though.

2) Separate question that is a little more vague, where can I find more gun action like this:
https://files.catbox.moe/8cti5d.webm
I watched Under the Dog and loved the action sequences of it. Unfortunately as far as I can tell, they've given up on the project after episode 0. Anything that has action sequences like that above clip? Doesn't have to be a schoolgirl. Or it can.

Crucify me if you like, but I'm going to recommend the first season of Gunslinger Girl. Just be prepared for brainwashed children turned into killing machines using questionable methods. That said, series actually goes into character relationships in a non-creeper way that points out how hosed up it all is.

Until season 2. don't watch season 2. Read the mangas instead if you get into it at all.
