New(ish) to Anime, any recs?

Basically just the title.

I've watched a few select series before, but I recently discovered a great website to watch on and I want to find some new series.

I've watched and loved: Gachiakuta, Hunter x Hunter, Kimetsu No Yaiba, ATLA

I DON'T want to watch: solely romance based, harem, anything with on-screen SA scenes, haikyuu, bnha

I think you’d like Hell’s Paradise if you liked Gachiakuta. Jujitsu Kaisen is another good one.

QueerKatDoves2026-01-19 02:20

I've heard a lot of high praise about jjk. Is the dub alright? I like to do little things at my desk while watching so I can do something with my hands, so I prefer dubbed.

deeznutz111162026-01-19 02:35

dub pretty good for jjk

Confused-penguin52026-01-19 02:42

The dubbed is solid. I watched everything up to the current season dubbed. My Hero Academia also has a really good dub and the series just finished.

Haikyuu is peak tho... 😢 Was on ur side where I thought it was gonna suck but then I ended up always on my toes watching each season (but if you already tried it and it's not ur cup of tea that's completely fine)

I recommend mob psycho 100 if you like shorter, funny, yet deep stories

QueerKatDoves2026-01-19 02:27

I don't have anything against haikyuu, I just couldn't get past the first episode. I get very strong secondhand embarrassment.

Deep_Height_70012026-01-19 02:29

I get that, but please try mp100!! It's so amazing!!!!!!

QueerKatDoves2026-01-19 02:36

Adding it to my list :)

Deep_Height_70012026-01-19 19:06

Yay!!! Make sure to tell me what u think whenever you get to it!!!

Disastrous_Dark_54572026-01-19 02:24

BLEACHHHHHH!!!! SOOOOOOO ABSOLUTELY FIRE!!!!

Commercial-Sail-46622026-01-19 02:32

I've heard newcomers are always more open-minded. Check out Ping Pong the Animation. Especially if you had second hand embarrassment from Haikyuu. Nobody is embarrassing in Ping Pong

QueerKatDoves2026-01-19 02:37

Oh good god 😨

Commercial-Sail-46622026-01-19 02:39

I hope you liked Hunter Hunter for its story :D

Wavenstein12026-01-19 02:33

Death Note

cmari3bral3y2026-01-19 02:39

Some of my favorites are

* Tokyo Ghoul
* Demon Slayer
* Chainsaw Man
* Jujutsu Kaisen
* My Hero Academia

QueerKatDoves2026-01-19 02:43

My hero was actually the first one I ever watched, and it was when I was in 5th grade. I kinda lost interest because of the 2020 fandom...

suuushi-roll2026-01-19 03:10

Dont watch tokyo ghoul the adaptation is horrible.

The Saga of Tanya the Evil

GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There

Based on what you’ve liked, you’d probably have a great time with **Jujutsu Kaisen** (dark action, great fights, no weird fanservice) and **Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood** for solid world-building and a really satisfying story. If you want something a bit heavier, **Vinland Saga** is amazing and very character-driven, and **Dororo** is a quieter but emotional fantasy pick. For something weirder and darker, **Chainsaw Man** or **Dorohedoro** are good options too.

QueerKatDoves2026-01-19 20:18

Did you use chatgpt for this

Whathefrenchtoastt2026-01-20 02:28

Basics are good; Naruto & Naruto Shippuden, Bleach (Both have 400+ episodes though), Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Honestly all these 4-5\* for me;

Kaiju no 8

Demon Slayer

Jujutsu Kaisen

Hells Paradise

Fate/Zero

Fate/Stay Unlimited Blade works

That Time i got reincarnated as a slime (isekai(another world), action, fantasy)

To your Eternity (adventure/drama)

So many i could list. All are action type cept last 2, but they have some action. (Only type i really like lol)
