ACCA is recent, written by a woman, and incredibly good. It's about bureaucrats in a federated monarchy eating cake and doing politics.

That's the show with the Third Reich uniforms, right? I guess that element was superficial?

people just see black military uniforms and assume nazi poo poo even though those outfits arent really similar to the ww2 german military uniforms at all, the closest part is the red insignia

It's the color scheme, and some of the embroidery---especially when there's no aiguillette (the ropey bit). But I'm not trying to make this a big deal, as someone that mostly heard of this second hand.

Any good detective/crime series? Preferably with an overarching plot with a larger mystery. So more Stand Alone Complex than Conan (cause it doesn't end).

(Not interested in Psycho Pass)

Mostly anime. But I don't mind manga recommendations if you have something cool in mind. (everything by Urasawa is obviously great)

Angel Cop is trash, FYI. You might get some semi-ironic entertainment out of it, but don't expect much. (also has some anti semitic plot point iirc, but that might only be in the Japanese original)

Check out Madox-01. Not cyberpunk, but similar to some of the stuff you outlined as having that "vibe". Dumb plot, but cool action scenes and some great mech/tech close ups.

What are some highlights of the past few years? Besides Edgerunners and Dorohedoro I haven't been keeping up to date with releases for a while now.

Broad question, I realize, but I stumbled upon Sonny Boy by chance (and that's probably an all time great), so I just want to know if there was anything else in recent years I really shouldn't miss.

Though I should probably take a short break from the gut-wrenching/heartbreaking/soul-draining stuff. I've gone through Devilman Lady, the Chainsaw Man manga, Lain-rewatch, Pluto, and Sonny Boy in quick succession.

Only Gundam I've watched more than a few episodes of, but I'd heartily recommend Turn A if you haven't seen it.

Looking for something to follow up Utena.

I was thinking of revisiting Zetsubuo Sensei because Utena’s stylish cinematography/composition reminded me of Shaft (and suicide’s been on my mind). Never saw the third series.

I enjoyed Ultimate when only the first three or four episodes had released. But when I saw the rest a decade later, I didn’t like them very much. I can’t quite say whether it was a change in taste, or a drop in quality, but probably a bit of both.

uchikoshi worked on akanesasu shoujo. its not really that much of a mindfuck mystery - there's a bit of that but its on the backburner - but its very lesbian and definitely has a bit of his like, sense of flow.

Definitely watch SAC2 if you enjoyed the first season. The recent 3D sequels, not so much.

And yeah give Trigun another go.

I wanna watch a psychological thriller in the vein of Death Note. Or something like Monster.

I’ve already seen Code Gease, and some Kaiji.

Paranoia Agent

Only saw an episode or two a decade plus so ago, but iirc it was a little weirder than what I'm currently in the mood for.

First season of Psycho Pass. Odd Taxi. Perfect Blue. The original Boogiepop Phantom. Serial Experiments Lain.

Seen all these, though I might revisit Boogiepop because i remember hardly anything about it besides the OP.

Looking for post-apoc/wasteland/desert shows, preferably with an armored vehicle the cast travel in. finished Sand Land yesterday and I want more.

I've seen The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye (took a while to figure out what it was called), which basically is exactly what I want (though it was pretty mid itself). Also seen Girls' Last Tour.

For reference, seen Trigun and Desert Punk too, though those aren't quite what I'm looking for (well, besides not liking it, I barely remember anything about Desert Punk)

Well there's more episodes of sandland coming out, so there's that.

You might enjoy Children of the Whales.

yeah but they're leaving the dunes. regardless, it's not like it's a fantastic show, but it just put me in the mood for that kind of thing.

thanks for the other recommendations. glad i asked.

so this is gonna be broad, but please recommend me some 90s shows. i'm in the mood for traditional cel animation.

since i can't list everything relevant i've seen, here's the bigger stuff off the top of my head

evangelion
bebop
utena
outlaw star
sailor moon
trigun
nadesico
lain
captain harlock
banner of the stars

i just want to hear about shows you think are worth watching from that era

not sure what the right term is, but is slayers the kind of show where most of the episodes are standalone, and the show most of the time isn't that concerned with overarching plot?
