Most recommended anime any genre is fine.

Hi guys I’m trying to watch new anime but I want something that isn’t based around school, any genre is fine. I have already seen a few that are not based around school but I would like to check out new ones since I’m always watching the same stuff. I will really appreciate it thanks 🥰

Triage X is awesome. Highschool of the Dead too (they are by the same creator).

Also more recently "Tojima wants to be a Kamen Rider."

i love CLANNAD, but i think it would be considered as 'based around a school' at least for the first 2/3rds or so of the 2 series. still amazing, 100 percent, but i wonder if it's not what the OP is looking for.

IStealSwords2026-01-03 22:03

Honestly didn’t see the no school, my bad

It’s too good not to recommend though

figital6662026-01-03 23:05

i agree. it really is superb!

Idolish7 is really good, only a few episodes where characters go to school and even then it's 3 characters out of 16+ who are still school age

miyuki_was_taken2026-01-02 22:00

I would totally recommend you the whole Toaru saga but it have 7 season across 3 differents characters (linked between the stories tho).

The main one is Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index), but theres is also Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun) and Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator (A Certain Scientific Accelerator).

You can also watch it with a specific order if you wat but it's not necessary.

Yet this is still 6 seasons of 24-ish episode + 1 season of 12 episode which make \~156ish episodes to watch so if you want to watch them all it could take time, but no need to watch them all idk im panicking...

Hope this helps! :P

Zezedoll2026-01-02 22:02

Omg thanks I’ll check it out, it will surely keep me entertained for a while.

Thank you I’ll check them out.

Here's a hidden gem:

Scissor seven.

Look, at the first season it may look like a generic comedy anime, but I ASSURE YOU IT'S ONE THE BEST ANIMES OUT THERE.

There are 5 seasons, and a sixth one coming in 2026. (It may go on to have 10 seasons or more, as the creators said)

It follows the story of a guy named seven, in a world where being an assassin is the main job. He can control scissors with his powers. At the end of the first season it's revealed that he is the n.1 assassin in the whole world, but lost his memory.

The animation sucks on season 1 but I ASSURE YOU it gets better and better and the world building is awesome. Give It a try

figital6662026-01-02 23:39

i've not heard of this one, and it sounds interesting so i am going to check it out. thanks for the heads up.

What's wrong with school?

Well, if you don't want school:

* Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
* Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms
* Steamboy
* Yona of the Dawn

Time-Mongoose-81192026-01-03 01:43

I'd recommend the anime film the Empire of Corpses. I watched it going in blind and was amazed! It's like an alternate timeline of Zombies in the late 1800's. And other fictional classic pop culture and historical figures collide inside it.
