I just got a crunchyroll sub, any recommendations for good shows to start with? I've seen lots of the stuff netflix has like Jojo, Evangelion, One Punch.

Been watching my roommate is a cat with my daughter and that has been fun.

Anime is a super wide thing with lots of different genres, and lots of stuff that doesn't fit into any of them neatly. Some of the best anime ever made will be hated by lots of people for not being the kind of thing they like. Without knowing what you like ( and possibly you don't know either ), some general categories:

It's a trap !
- Madoka Magica
- Made in Abyss

Faith in humanity too strong ?
- Psycho Pass
- Fate/Zero

Why is all anime kiddie bullshit ?
- Monster
- Space Brothers

But what if I like kiddie bullshit?
- Hunter x Hunter
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Not enough edgelord in these recommendations
- Death Note
- Code Geass

I just want something generally good
- Steins;Gate
- Attack on Titan

Too serious, and needs more robots
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan

Honorable Mention
- Future Diary

I think there might be another anime people here like. Kagumama? Kaguna? Kamuiya? Can anyone remember the name? I don’t have time to watch it personally.

Tsukimichi is great. None of that "we need to talk about our feelings for 3 episodes before we fight and I hate hurting people let me be your friend!"

Just "I'm a pretty nice guy, but you've pissed me off, one warning. I'll kill you"

I finished watching a really old show from ages ago called Girl's last tour. I missed the sad shows derail many pages back but wanted to mention it. It's good and sad and kinda short and has a bit of an odd art style.

Today's Mushoku Tensei was another good one. I just love this show. I got my hands on all of the light novels for my Kindle (not the original web novels that I read before), and I'm reading the story a second time. I finished up the first book the other day and that took you through Rudy from 0-5. His birth, learning that magic is real in this world and learning how to use it (and figuring out how to cast silently). Getty Roxy as a magic tutor, which inevitably creates his first worship item (her panties). But then he also meets Sylphie and teaches her to do magic and some basic silent casting. But he gets too attached to Sylphie, so Paul beats his ass and sends him off to the uncle's house so that he can continue his growth and Sylphie won't depend on having Rudy around to be a person any longer. You meet the Sword King animal chick that's actually Eris' tutor. Rudy is going to that house to teach the "spoiled girl" how to use magic and stop being a ruthless fighter. And that's where the book ended.
Update on this. I finished up book 3 last night.
Book 2 is the introduction of Eris, the unruly girl. She's a force to be reckoned with due to her grandfather being the same. It tells the story of Rudy teaching both Eris and Gh... The sword King animal chick the basics of magic. He initially gets her to believe in him after seeing up a kidnapping event where he will be the savior. Turnes out that event ended up being real and not what he tried to stage.
Anyway, he spends a few years being her teacher and helping the other teachers create a reasonable schedule to learn. Then on his 10th birthday , they give him a staff that's worth a tremendous amount. The next day he takes them on a trip or of town to actually show them Saint tier water magic (a storm with heavy rain and loud of lightning) at the same time as the big teleport incident. The book ends there.

The third book picks up with Rudy encountering the Human god in a dream world where he's in his older fat body from the previous life. He and Eris are together on the demon continent. Somehow the Supard saw them drop from the sky and he made sure they were safe until regaining consciousness. At the same time, sword King animal chick is teleported into a forest full of strong animals and she falls back into being a savage killer to get out.
Back on demon continent, Rudy, Eris and Supard become adventures and make a team called Dead End. They do that to help restore the bad name of the Supard race. They're all the way in the far North of the demon continent, and need to work down to the far south in order to take a boat back to the central Continent. They spend the next year having adventures and building up their reputation and adventure level until they get kicked out of town due to preople realizing that the Supard really is one and not just someone else pretending to be. This causes him to cut off all of his emerald green hair, which seems to be the only characteristic that people associate with the Supard race.
They eventually make it to the far south and finishing up their lives on the demon continent. That's where the 3rd book ends.

you know i heard good things about that show, totally meant to download the episodes but forgot. thanks for the reminder.

also if anyone wants a mecha show with some massive fucking whiplash in tonal shifts and blatant homoeroticism, i'd recommend Brave Bang Bravern. i don't even know how to describe what happens in the show other than it's an experience.
