I'm new to anime but I've recently finished Castlevania, Baki, Kengan and Parasite on Netflix. I just want some recommendations on what to watch next, it doesnt have to be Netflix either.

Things I like:
Action sequences
High stakes
Storytelling
Backstory exposition

Things I dont like:
Aloof protagonists/weak motives
Girlfriend angles
Beta characters

Also what is everyones opinion on Naruto, One Punch Man and My Hero Academia?

If you're ok with female protaganists, Kill la Kill and Madoka fit those and they're relatively short. The former has over the top sexualization as a social commentary though.

Anyway stuff like Jojo, Hunter X Hunter, Fist of the North Star, Monster, Shinsekai Yori, Death Note etc are the cliche go-to answers.

Fafner, if you can work with horrible art and a slow first several episodes. The 2015 sequel is much better imo.

if you're into gritty revenge tales:

  • 91 Days - Prohibition Era/Mafia story
  • Banana Fish - street gang leader wars with a mafia boss who abducted him as a kid, and turned him into a child prostitute
  • Berserk '97 series, or Golden Age Arc movie trilogy - medieval war series
  • Gankutsuou - sci-fi The Count of Monte Cristo
  • Gungrave - sci-fi mafia series
  • Vinland Saga - vikings
not revenge, but really good - Death Note, Mob Psycho 100, & The Promised Neverland

^ oh yea, I definitely second Kaiji (idk if I've ever seen Akagi, though I've read a few chapters).

and if you like Kaiji, there's a spin-off called Mr. Tonegawa: Middle Management Blues, which is more of a comedy compared to Kaiji, which is more of a thriller.

seconding these. Really light on the action, but the stakes are always high, and the tension is incredible.

ive never been so stressed watching somebody play pachinko >_>

One Punch Man is funny, don't really care about the other two although they're not bad.

I recommend Death Note and Rainbow: Nisha Rokubo no Shichinin. Good drama and high stakes situations.

Gankutsuou - sci-fi The Count of Monte Cristo
This series is honestly kind of dumb, but it's absolutely gorgeous. I'd honest suggest watching it just for the weird-ass animation style.

I just finished The Promised Neverland the other day. I'd recommend watching the first episode. That's all it took to get me hooked in.

Angel Beats hits all the notes you're looking for, same with Kill La Kill.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War has a heavy relationship focus, but there's a lot of give and take and both main characters get a lot of leverage

This is probably my favorite anime, I'd recommend dub. Also Overlord, dub.

MHA has superb animation and action, story won't blow you away, ok dub.

Naruto is infamous for being a filler hell, I'd recommend looking up a guide. The only back story worth watching is Kakashi and Madara / Hashirama, maybe Sanin origins. That said when it comes to action, this have some of the best in animated media.

Then the two I mentioned are all action and high stakes with no romance plotlines.

Banana Fish is so dang good. I want to rewatch it, but I don't know if my heart can take it.

I call it the Chowder animation style. I've known multiple people who felt physically nauseated trying to watch it, but it didn't bother me.

Can't believe no one said it yet, but Overlord is pretty good. Also if you want to watch possibly one of the most OG anime ever, can't go wrong with Fist of the North Star.

She's a great character though.

Japan just has an...unfortunate way of drawing black people.

Oh, it's absolutely a racist character design and it baffles me that anyone would argue otherwise. I find the points about her behavior aligning with traditional stereotypes a little weaker though. While I can see the point, I doubt that was intentional. I imagine the starting point was that she was meant to be radically different from Isabella.

Maybe I'm just sensitive right now with all that's going on, but shit like this makes me want to drop anime altogether.
