I really don't have much experience with anime. I saw a few things as a kid, mostly whatever was on Fox Kids, Kids WB, Toonami, etc.

I don't want anything that's like a thousand episodes. I'd actually prefer something maybe around 50 episodes beginning to end, if that's a thing.

I don't want anything overly sexual.

No pirates.

No baseball.

No car racing.

I don't care about "subs" or "dubs." Which is to say, I have no preference. I definitely need it in English.

Thank you.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It's around that length, has a complete beginning middle and end, and is mostly focused on the story and not the things that you listed.

I would also recommend Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Megalo box. All three are shorter than your preferred length, but also have a clear beginning middle and end and are extremely well-received very stylized series with legendary soundtracks.

If you're looking for something that's a little more anime, as most of my recommendations above are relatively grounded, consider tengen toppa Gurren Lagann, which is an over-the-top giant robot show with a little bit of fan service but mostly focused on one-upping itself until it hits levels you would never have guessed were possible.

  • 91 Days (Prohibition era, mafia revenge story; 20 something episodes)
  • Berserk (medieval era military epic, that turns out to be so much more; either the 1997 series, which is 26 episodes, or the Golden Age Arc movie trilogy, which focuses on the same content, but is more condensed)
  • Death Note (psychological thriller, where the lead tries to shape the world in his image, while attempting to outsmart his adversary; 30 something episodes)
  • Steins;Gate (time travel mystery; 26 episodes)

It'd be easier to give recs if we knew what kind of TV shows or movies you liked, or books if you're a reader. Without knowing your taste, I'd recommend Death Note. A psychological thriller with supernatural elements. A good starter show, think it got a lot of people into anime.

also:

  • Detroit Metal City (comedy about a guy who wants to be in a pop group and live a fashionable life, but is roped into being the front man of a death metal group)
  • Kaiji (extreme gambling series)
  • Kengan Ashura (fighting tournament series)

Gurren Lagann
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Soul Eater
Tiger Mask W
Princess Principal
Heartcatch Precure
A Certain Magical Index
A Certain Scientific Railgun
Shakugan No Shana
Black Lagoon
Dr. Stone
Fire Force
Symphogear

- Tiger Mask, Precure, and Symphogear are the only ones of these that don't have an English dub.

- Dr. Stone and Fire Force also have second seasons scheduled to come out later this year.

- A Certain Scientific Railgun is technically a spin-off of A Certain Magical Index and the stories intertwine a bit, but both can be watched and (mostly) enjoyed without watching the other.

Thank you all very much. Some of these look very interesting.

I think I'm going to start with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and go from there.

Death Note is too chuniibyou imo. Neon genesis and gurren lagann is better for newcomers.

Hellsing Unlimited. Plotwise it's as straight forward as an action game from Platinum Games, on the entertainment side it's one of the most gloriously action (and blood) packed animes I have ever seen, rivaled only by Berserk.

Shinsekai York (from the new world)
Fafner

Two plot heavy shows that lack the usual cringey anime tropes.

Kaguya-sama is a wholesome romcom with little sexual themes and will eventually pay off

Fruits Basket is a romance story that has some adult themes but arent played for gratuitous fanservice and has an interesting concept

Sabagebu has mild sexual themes but its extremely self-aware about it and one of the funniest slapstick comedies Ive seen.

I havent seen Parasyte and Hellsing myself but Ive heard theyre pure action horror with none of the usual anime tropes as well.

All are under 50 episodes.

I'm not picky and generally consume a broad range of media. It was easier to give what I didn't want than to list out anything specific that I do like.

I finished FMA Brotherhood (really liked it) and started Gurren Lagann but got distracted with a good book I've been putting off. I'll finish the book tonight and get back to anime tomorrow.

I watch sports, anime, and even sports anime too. Ever heard of Kuroko's Basketball? Inazuma Eleven? Eyeshield 21? Megalo Box? Princess Nine? There are tons of anime out there for sports fans to enjoy as well.
