polyglotplatypus:

CLASSICS (you’ve probably watched these already):

• Neon Genesis Evangelion : depression, adolescence & mecha: the anime
  
• Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann : depression, adolescence & mecha: the remake
  
• Kill La Kill: see above, but with a commentary on fanservice and the anime industry. also main female characters

SHONEN (young boys fuck shit up):

• My Hero Academia : crybaby protagonist turns out to be most loveable character of all time. becomes a cool hero. love him

• Naruto & Naruto Shippuden : whatever you say some arcs were fucking legendary so whenever you want just watch some cool, non-filler shit. every thing after the Pain arc doesnt matter dont watch it
• Soul Eater: i have no goddamn clue whats going on but it looks cool.
  also spirit vore
• Hunter x Hunter : young boy adopts new adults in his family, gets killer best friend. literally
• Wakfu : its. basically french anime. fantasy stuff, it has great animation (especially in the later episodes) and the main villains are fucking incredible. its on netflix and by all that is holy watch it in french with english subs else i will physically manifest in your house and punch you.

• Shaman King : the french OP is in my head and I CANT GET IT OUT
  
• Black Rock Shooter (OVA + series) : this times its girls fucking shit up, and theyre also crying. it looks amazing

SPORTS ANIME (i dont give a shit about sports but goddamn i love these):

• Haikyuu!! : what even is volleyball. i care about these characters and the animation is fucking phenomenal. the soundtrack is so good. watch it
