My top 5 recommends (fair warning I cried for all of these except the last one)
hunter x hunter - action, adventure, fantasy. long-term anime (147 episode) Protagonist Gon wants to become a hunter to find his dad and goes around the world taking names and kicking ass with his bff Killua the catboy. It feels pretty damn fruity and theres a canon trans girl who i love very dearly <3 for an action anime, it’s very light on the ecchi shit. only ecchi shit is in episode 10. Fight scenes are well-thought out, engaging, (and I can rarely pay attention during battle sequences so) and the ‘magic’ system is balanced and easily understood while still being complex and allowing for characters to come up with unique and intruging abilties. (Dude one guys ability is these fish that like eat you but you dont die until they end the ability its sick) basically yes this is my favourite anime. theres even an arc where they go inside a video game but its actually good its great (mc’s arm gets mangled so much in this anime its insane like mate go one arc without wrecking an arm jfc)
danganronpa - psychothriller. 16 students are trapped in an academy together and forced to kill each other as part of a killing game. The crime scenes are sick, the murders are actually pretty easy to solve yourself (of course not straight away the pieces of the puzzle gradually come together as the characters discuss it) and the host of the killing game is cute (its a teddy bear. a very violent, very cuddly teddy bear). To be clear there is one bromance that is pretty fucking gay and thats what i cried for.
fairy tail - comedy, high fantasy, action, adventure. long-term anime i think its like 300 episodes? basically MC Lucy wants to join the Fairy Tail guild and MC Natsu takes her to join the guild. As part of a guild, they take jobs to fight monsters, steal books, investigate weird shit, destroy the moon for some reason, and they also get into fights with rivalry guilds and take part in the Grand Magic Games where the guilds are pitted against each other. They foil evil plots from dark mages, save the city, save the continent basically a lot of shit goes down over those 300 episodes and everyone dies at least once but don’t worry they all come back. Most major battles end pretty much the same way but there are lot of interesting characters with unique abilities, theres comedy, theres family drama, theres mystery, theres an interesting power system its great.
dr stone - adventure, science fiction. Basically for some reason every human gets turned to stone and like a million years later this one dude finally wakes up because of some bat shit or something thats been dripping on him which counteracts the effects of whatever it is that turned him to stone. Luckily, he’s a scientist, so he starts to collect the bat shit water and gives it to his friend to make him not a statue, and he decides to use his bat shit water on more people which doesn’t go to well. He (yeah i forgot his name) comes across a village where he puts the villagers to work on his science projects. He is determined to bring human civilisation back to the 21st century and we get to watch as he works his science shit which is really entertaining and if youve taken highschool chemistry rather easy to follow.
sk8 the infinity - action, fruity, sport. Skating fanatic Reki has no one to go on adhd tangents about skating to until langa transfers to his school from canada. Langa is a little gay boy who cannot skate for shit but he needs money bad so he begs reki for a job at the skate store he works at and Reki takes him to a dodgy ass skating comp where langa skates despite, once again, not being able to skate for shit. somehow he lives and the rest is very gay history. no you dont realise its so gay theres a rain fight the mum acknowledges it there is a very gay fist bump its all the gay its very gay. Also theres a catboy.
