Every sunday night (from my perspective in Mountain Time anyways) there’s a discussion thread posted to /c/anime where people talk about what they’re watching and whether they’re liking it. You can go there and post a comment or reply to someone else. Of course you can do the same in other threads as well, but I bring it up as a good place to start.

As for what to watch, there are a few ways to find stuff. One option is to just look at the highest rated stuff out there and just pick some random thing that looks interesting. Another option, especially if you want to keep up-to-date with stuff that’s being currently discussed, is to watch videos from channels like Mother’s Basement and Gigguk. Right now at the start of a new season a bunch of new shows are just starting to air, and so in a week or two both of those channels will have videos out pitching their favorites to viewers.

If you just want something to watch without needing to do any research here are my favorites:

• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for action/adventure
• Kaguya-sama: Love is War for romcom
• Redline for a sick movie about a deadly car-racing tournament on alien worlds
• LOOK BACK or Journal with Witch for something more emotional
