Hi there, I’m trying to get into more anime as of late, but don’t really know where to start.
For reference, here’s my anilist.co with what I’ve watched (AFAIR).
I really enjoyed Sousou no Frieren recently and I’ve also watched a lot of Studio Ghibli, with Mononoke-hime being an all-time favourite of mine. And FWIW Meitantei Conan is my favourite manga, although I haven’t watched the anime that much.
Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks for all your recommendations already, I’ve added them to my watchlist and will check them out!


Not personalized, but I recommend Steins;Gate to anyone who hasn’t watched it yet. Out of all the 200 animes I’ve watched, I still consider it to be in my top 3.
Ah, Steins;Gate, one of the most praised animes that I hear often that I specifically don’t play because I forced myself to check it out once I finish the Vita game (which is buried in my backlog 🫠).
I actually have the game on my wishlist, I don’t know whether the anime and the game are one and the same?
The Steins;Gate game has a very opaque choice system. The ending you get has to do with how you use the character’s phone in the game, not really how you interact with people. I suggest playing with a guide.
It’s really good, though.
I don’t know how better the VN is, but like you, I also have it in my wishlist. VNs generally are more detailed than anime though.
If you are into playing VNs, my first VN was Umineko: When They Cry. I can recommend that.
Thanks! VNs are definitely a genre I’m also trying to explore more of, Umineko: When They Cry is on my wishlist
