Soul Eater's probably my personal favorite anime and is a lot of fun. The ending is really weak unfortunately

No Game No Life is really cool when it wants to be, but it's also super creepy. The payoff's worth it but I can get how people can't past seeing some of that stuff.

Future Diary's really cool, especially if you're into killing game anime

My Hero Academia's amazing if you're into Shonen anime. I'm not that caught up, but just about everything I've seen has been a blast

Black Lagoon's pretty good, haven't watched that much of it but the first few episodes are pretty solid

Im not sure which of these you may have seen already and didnt like but at least the first two are from that same DBZ/Cowboy Bebop/YYH era.

On your list I didnt particularly like Ghost in the Shell or Assassination Classroom and I have never seen Hunter x Hunter, Steins Gate, Perfect Blue or Paprika. All the rest of your picks I do love if that helps you decide.

Inuyasha [Action/Adventure/Romance, based on similar titles DB, YYH, Ghibli, FMA]

Trigun [Action/Adventure/Comedy, based on similar titles like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo]

My Bride is a Mermaid [Comedy/Romance/Adventure, based on similar titles like Gurren Lagann, YYH, OPM]

Parasyte the Maxim [Mystery/Action/Gory, based on similar titles like Death Note, YYH, Akira]

I noticed you have Paprika and Perfect Blue on your list, so you would be well-served to watch Paranoia Agent which is also from Satoshi Kon. A real mindfuck of a series per his usual style.

Other than that, your "liked" list really mirrors my own so I have to recommend Monster, which is different from the rest but is a very engaging I don't even know how to describe. Doctor saves the life of a young boy who grows up to become a "Monster", gets framed for several murders and goes on the run while being doggedly pursued by a Javert-like character. While on the run he explores the background and history behind the "Monster" he inadvertently helped create, and meets people along the way who had been directly or indirectly impacted by this "Monster".

Not the greatest description... but give it a watch!

These are some great recs everyone. Exactly what I was looking for. Writing all of these down now.

Does anyone know how I can go about watching the original Berserk? The version with the Infamous Eclipse episode.

Try out Little Witch Academia on Netflix. There's two short specials and then a series afterwards. It's a super charming show set in a witch school with just wonderful animation, particularly in the specials.

The first season of Jojo is on Netflix too with a decent dub if you wanna give that a try.

As well as other recent Yuasa, none more than The Night is Short, Walk On Girl.

Shirobako

Space Dandy

Chihayafuru

Mushishi's second season wasn't very long ago.

And JoJo, of course, if your time is plentiful.

Others that have yet be mentioned.

Didnt find the main protagonist likable at all and I didnt like all the fan service. I also felt that the snow was trying too hard to be badass rather than it being a natural thing. All just my opinion though.

seems like you have mostly watched and enjoyed stuff that makes a lot of buzz, especially western buzz, without preference toward any one particular genre.

list seems to be missing:

Attack on Titan - Interesting setting and premise, very consistent writing, shocking twists dropped on the reader every so often. It's violent but not very sexual. Good if you like dark/mature themes but don't like fanservice.

Fate/A Million Different Spinoffs - You'd have to ask someone else about which of these are worth watching and what order you should watch them in. But Fate/Zero at least is something I would have expected to see on a list like yours, so this immediately came to mind.

also for a personal recommendation that isn't as culturally significant:

Haikyuu! - Definitely one of the best anime ever made. It doesn't matter if you don't care about volleyball. No, this show will NOT make you "care about volleyball." It will make you care about every single character on the cast, their goals, and their progression. It's an addictive, entertaining, funny and emotional show that is absolutely 10/10 at building hype and never fails to deliver on the hype.

Fate is such a rabbit hole. If you have any desire whatsoever to read the Fate/stay night VN, then I would recommend not starting Fate/Zero. However, if you have no desire to read the VN, then yeah, you should watch Fate/Zero at some point - it's really good.

Mob Psycho 100 is a super safe bet given you liked One Punch Man, IMO.

Also seconding Black Lagoon, Fate/Zero.

My Hero Academia, Soul Eater, Attack on Titan, and Monster are all good too but I might have some nitpicks here and there that would put them below the above three.

Trigun is the first thing to come to mind based on that list- always reminded me of Kenshin but a more sci-fi western setting.

Wifebolo got into Fate/Zero before the rest of the series- that's not a terrible move even though it's a prequel

Can't vouch TOO much for Bleach/Naruto/One Piece but they seem to fit the general shonen-y thrust

G Gundam if you want a robot fightin' show *slightly* less over the top than TTGL

Jojo is love it or hate it and IDK which camp you'll fall in but it's worth a shot to figure out

Going off Maria's approach, you might wanna throw in Evangelion and Attack on Titan just for the popularity factor

Durarara and Baccano also seem like your kinda thing maybe.
