It has beautiful animation and good storytelling

It's a mystery show about kids and a little bit supernatural

only one season consisting of 12 episodes

Apothecary Diaries and Frieren are both good

One punch man is pretty funny and action packed. But if you are looking for a show that would give you existential crisis I would recommend "sonny boy"

Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun

Demon Slayer is not as gory as you think lol

if u want something like MHA
u can try one punch man, mob psycho 100 and black clover


for isekai, i recommend re:zero
for sports, try haikyuu, for fantasy try frieren....

Assassination classroom, restaurant to another world. both great one is finished. you won't regret it

I've not long finished getting up to date on one piece (took me 1.5 years) now looking for new stuff too. One punch man has been good, really enjoyed solo leveling and attack on titan is just on another level

Are you looking exclusively for action/battle anime or are you open to other genres?

Fellow 30s lady here- personally, now that you've seen a few of the popular shows and picked out what you liked and didn't like about each, I would focus less on making sure you are watching "the big shows" and more on just finding what you like, regardless of whether anyone else would get a reference. When we were younger, I think anime felt like more of a genre in pop culture, but it's always been a medium and these days there is so much it is helpful to approach it like you would when selecting any other TV show to watch. Sure, there's value in being able to discuss things with others, but you definitely want to like the show if you're going to watch it! 


You spoke a little about what you didn't like from what you saw so far, but it would be helpful to know a little about your preferences in genre and theme as far as TV and books go, generally. Do you have any favorite series that meant a lot to you, or that you keep coming back to? Do you have any tropes or themes you really hate? Do you like really long, ongoing series, or prefer shorter, completed ones? This will help us narrow things down when giving you suggestions. 


Also, never be afraid to just do some googling and jump in if you want to find a show about something and try it out. You will see endless discussions about ratings and popularity, just like with any other TV show, but in the end finding what you like is really all that matters.


Edit: I took a quick look at your profile for some context, and I'm seeing that you have an interest in literature, specifically mythology and history. Even though it's a bit bloody, I would consider giving Vinland Saga a try if you want to watch what "the kids are watching." As an adult I think I saw it very differently on a first watch than my teenage brothers-in-law, and it led to some great conversations about values and events in the story. I would also consider something like Mairimashita, Iruma-kun for something with approachable "magic school" (well, technically demon school but it has a very old-school Harry Potter feel) vibes. That's something you could probably also have on in the background when kids are around without worry. There is a new season coming out this spring, so it's a good time to pick it up. Both of these have accompanying manga that are very well regarded. Frieren would also be a good series to try, and is currently airing and very popular. 

If ya haven't seen any studio ghibli movies i'd suggest most of those. Princess Mononoke, Howls Moving Castle, and Spirited Away. all three are outstanding.
A few other movies i'd suggest are Metropolis, Sword of the Stranger, The Boy and the Beast, and Memories

a few shows i'd pick: The Ancient Magus' Bride, Frieren, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Violet Evergarden, Soul Eater, and Rage of Bahamut: Genesis

If you love sci fi, I recommend Steins gate with all of my heart.

I would recommend Death Note and also recommend Solo Leveling

No game no life, Classroom of the elite, overlord, tensei shitara slime datta ken, sword art online hmm and you can try Jujutsu kaisen and attack on titan but these are brutal for sure

Depends on what you like, here's a quick list of things my family enjoyed, some recent, some older.

**Isekais:**

* That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
* Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon?
* Mushoku Tensai
* Campfire Cooking in Another World

**Edgelords**

* Overlord
* Eminence in Shadow
* Solo Leveling
* Akame ga Kill
* One Punch Man
* Mob Psycho 100

**Action/Adventure/Fantasy**

* Kimetsu no Yaiba
* Jujustu Kaisen
* Tower of God (probably also qualifies as Edgelord but Bam is whiny)
* Bungo Stray Dogs
* Seven Deadly Sins

**Funny/Lighter/Friends and Love Interests**

* Kaguya-sama Love is War
* The Way of the House Husband (this one is hilarious btw)
* Noragami
* Devil was a Part-timer
* Haikyuu
* Natsumes Book of Friends

I haven't seen these but my teenager loves them: Frieren and Apothecary Diaries.

Gintama is also an investment of time. Wait until you're a more seasoned anime watcher imo. There are a lot of ways they make fun of other animes, break the third wall, etc. If you're into this one, its a very slow burn plot, but things do eventually happen.

I still think you should watch Naruto especially shippuden even as an adult you will like it (29m) I recommend skipping all the filler episodes and just watch the cannon episodes


Currently I just finished Gachiakuta, it’s really good for such a new anime

It'd be really helpful to get some extra context. Anime is a medium, not a genre. What kinds of movies/shows/books do you like? What are you looking for tonally? Do you prefer adult protagonists or are you okay with school drama?

>’ve been told by younger kids to watch Naruto


You don't have to watch a specific anime to be introduced to anime and become  a fan. 
You have to choose based on your tastes.
