Too much Shounen. Not enough Shoujo or Josei.

Hellsing, Darker Than Black Season 2, and Drifters.

I need a fourth anime composed by Yasushi Ishii already.

Drifters

The series drops off? The animation quality did get worse with that last season, but the character writing has been consistently incredible.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but Tokyo Revengers hits a lot harder for me because I’ve been there and know people who have been through similar trauma. S;G is very emotionally flat in comparison, although the visual novel is a lot better than the anime in that regard.

Fruits Basket, Toradora, and OreImo. All for different reasons.

Honestly, I prefer Tokyo Revengers over Steins;Gate. It hits on a deeper level that just resonates with me more personally.

So did Chihayafuru but we got 3 seasons of that

Meanwhile, Shin Megami Tensei…

It’s a shame it never got a complete adaption. The manga’s ending left quite an impression. Easily one of my favorite animes of all time.

Joshiraku and and Kakushigoto are also worth watching if you’d like a less traumatic take on Kouji Kumeta’s unique sense of humor.

I have. That’s also a good one :)

I use MAL-Sync to help extend the function of MAL, but for episode release tracking nothing beats RSS feeds.

Take my upvote for such top-tier taste

Mononoke and Lupin The IIIrd (Fujiko Mine series and subsequent films) are the first things that come to mind when I think of anime that visually stand out.

I think Parasyte The Maxim was more effective at conveying that kind of terror and existential dread. The Summer Hikaru Died made me empathize too much with the eldritch horror.

This anime has layers

The first two seasons of Hell Girl are excellent.

It’s an episodic series about people contracting a supernatural force to get revenge. Lots and lots of tragedy ensues.

Yeah you can always sail the seas. I was just reminiscing about a time where CR let you watch it however you want, before it got enshittificated to its current state.

There was a time when Crunchyroll worked with yt-dlp. I miss those days.

Somehow their RSS feeds are still up, but you have to watch the shows using their shitty site. They’ve become just as bad as their competitors.
