Help get me back into anime after a 5 year hiatus

I was once a big anime fan, but after the pandemic, I got really burnout from watching anime and haven’t watched a single episode since! Recently, I’ve been feeling like getting back into it but don’t know where to start. It would be great if you could share any recommendations!

Some of what I’ve watched already include Naruto, Death note, Hunter X Hunter, Monster, FMAB, My Hero Academia, Dororo, Samurai Champloo, Banana Fish, Psycho pass, Steins:gate, Mob Psycho, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K, Assassination Classroom, Death Parade, Akame ga Kill, Parasyte, Erased, Noragami, Black Clover, Vinland Saga, AOT, Demon Slayer, Jujitsu Kaisen.

As you can imagine I’m not totally up-to-date with all the seasons of some of these, but I would rather watch something brand new!

I recommend Devilman Crybaby; it's a masterpiece in just 10 episodes that makes you think and is incredibly emotional. In my opinion, it's the best anime if you ignore all the sex scenes. It's truly an anime that will make you think and break your heart.

Midnight_sun172026-01-10 19:26

I think this was actually on my list for some time, but I ultimately never watched it because like you said I heard that there was a lot of sex scenes! I think I might give it a chance eventually but maybe it might be a bit much for my first watch in a while as I tend to steer away from that kind of thing…what do you think?

Commercial_Ideal_5272026-01-10 19:41

I'd like to recommend others, but all the ones I thought of are on the list you've already looked at!

Commercial_Ideal_5272026-01-10 19:42

Evangelion, maybe.
