I fucking hate anime, but I hate it because I high standards for it and 99% of all anime is garbage when put up to my standards.

Anime that I give my seal of approval to:

Death Note
Parasyte
Seven Deadly Sins (Very underrated, everyone should watch this.)
Black Clover (Starts out like a Naruto clone but it ends up getting really good. Trust me.)
Hunter x Hunter
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Code Geass
Boku No Hero Academia (Barely made the list)

Anime that I enjoy on a personal level but I can't justify putting on the above list:
Dragon Ball/Z/Super
Overlord
Inuyasha
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Elfen Lied

That's about it. Everything else sucks dick imo. Anyone got recommendations based off my list?

I think that you might like: Monster, The Promised Neverland, and maybe stuff like Baccano! and 91 Days.

Steins;Gate is also worth checking out, and I hear that Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the original series) is pretty amazing.

Berserk (the '97 series or the movie trilogy) is one of my favorites, too.

Like, I wouldn't have cared about some of the trash you put on there if you hadn't prefaced about how much you hated anime. If you had just said "These are the anime I like", then who cares.

But Black Clover is the most egregious.

For me it's:
Cowboy Bebop
Afro Samurai
Evangelion
Gundam Origin
Space Dandy
Samurai Champloo
Trigun
One Punch Man/Mob Psycho 100

And of course there's the films like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, anything by Satoshi Kon or Miyazaki

This is the stuff I'd recommend to people who "hate anime". There's much more that I like or like more than this, but these are by far the easier ones to get into if you already have negative feelings about it imo

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo is kinda super dumb (for one thing, about the only character that isn't implied to be bisexual is the one woman that was gay in the original book), but it's pretty gorgeous.

imo there's a lot more deserving titles than MHA. It could've been greater if it wasn't being held down by being another serialized Shonen.

Some "high standards" you have. Heck, seeing HxH and not Naruto makes you look like a contrarian honestly.

But if you want a recommendation, just watch Attack on Titan.

Not a bad list but I maintain that Seven Deadly sins is one of the worst animes I've ever seen.

Yeah I feel like MHA is a really standard shonen and falls much more into stereotypical anime tropes so I'm surprised TC chose it

Any anime that has a harem of females all madly in love with a limp dick main character is fucking garbage imo. Sword Art Online is a good example. Why do we need every single fucking female to be in love with Kirito?

So that right there eliminates 99% of animes for me.

I don't recall a harem in Code Geass. I remember maybe 2 at most girls in love with Lelouch.

I remember three super obvious candidates, then some debatable ones. To me the harem dimension was quite clear, just not center stage.

Regarding Meliodas and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was an angel cursed by the gods to constantly reincarnate and fall in love with Meliodas. However every time she regains her memories of her past lives, she dies again.

Regarding Diane She gets her memory back and her and King have lots of sex

Insufferable characters
creepy sexual stuff
boring overpowered protagonists

I only watched the first season but I just found the show genuinely bad, probably the worst anime I've seen tbh (haven't watched many)

I distinctly remember a flashback where Meliodas emerges from a battlefield holding a baby Elizabeth. he gives her to the king. then it talks about how Meliodas was like, taking care of Elizabeth early on, making their relationship more similar to father-daughter.

years later, Elizabeth becomes his grope doll

then his lover


how is that not grooming

Stop paying attention to Isekai then. Expand your borders. I recommended Attack on Titan because you only watch the most popular shonens. If you want something a little more subdued and grounded, there's the anime Joker Game, which follows the stories of Japanese spies around the time of WW2. If you find that interesting to watch, then I'd recommend Kokou no Hito, it's a manga about a guy who devoted his life to mountain climbing and struggles to adapt to society.

This medium is far larger than you make it out to be, you gotta expand your border man.

Attack on Titan is 3deep5me.
Also Kokou no Hito sounds boring as hell.

Joker Game sounds interesting though.
