Running out of anime I can get interested in

\[NO SPOILERS PLEASE\]

I’ve been a fan of most basic anime my entire life. I grew up watching Pokémon, dragon ball, Naruto, inuyasha, one piece, bleach, AOT, MP100, demon slayer, 7DS, and sword art online.

Ive been trying to find new anime to watch so I tried My Hero Academia, Solo Leveling, fairy tail, and a few others and i personally just found them kinda slow, a little too goofy sometimes, and not interesting enough for me to finish the show. All in all, just not really to my liking. I know they’re great for their target audience, but that’s just not me haha.

I’m getting to the point that I don’t even know what to look for to find a good anime without getting it spoiled for me. If anyone has any recommendations on what I should start based on the anime I do and don’t like I’d really appreciate it!

Akame Ga Kill, The Promised Neverland, Parasyte. Give each of these an episode or two to see if you like it.

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:11

Thank you. My friend actually told me about parasyte, I’ll have to check that one out for sure👍🏼

SorryImBadWithNames2026-01-21 22:05

Try Shangri-la Frontier if you want some dumb fun

Financial-Jump-64082026-01-21 22:07

-JJK
-Death note
-Code Geass
-spy x family
-banana fish
-ranking of kings
-akame ga kill
-Tokyo ghoul
-assassination classroom

You know…. Another show that actually surprised me that I almost never see recommended was Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:14

Considering I can play unravel on guitar, I should definitely try Tokyo ghoul out😂

Both-Variation21222026-01-21 22:10

Maybe you have just outgrown battle shonen? Try some seinens for more mature target demographics? Or move on from the anime.

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:13

You may be right. I’m gonna try out the recommendations I’ve received and move along from there🤗

redriot782026-01-21 22:35

If you're going into seinens (or however it's spelled) I loved Evangelion. It's the authors' way of dealing with their depression and damn near every scene has meaning behind it. It isn't too dark, but it will put you through the ringer if you watch and pay attention. Plus cool mech battles.... yeah cool mech battles.

Radiant-Character-612026-01-21 22:12

Summer Time Rendering is a good one I'd recommend. A compelling mystery, action , good animation and story, and it's only 24 episodes from beginning to end. As far as the tone goes you'd probably have to judge for yourself but it takes it's self pretty seriously given what goes on, I won't spoil that.

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:24

This might be the first one I try out so that if I like it I can finish it in a few days and start another new one👍🏼 thank you!

Radiant-Character-612026-01-21 22:35

No problem! And if you're still feeling the mystery stuff then Apothecary Diaries could also be up your alley.

BlueEyesWhiteDrgn2026-01-21 22:13

Hero shield has a pretty exciting start

Miserable_Hour18722026-01-21 22:24

Did you really recommend that knowing season 2 exists. Your an horrible person

BlueEyesWhiteDrgn2026-01-21 22:36

And it will be a gateway to read the manga. hahahaha

affnn2026-01-21 22:17

Lots of the stuff you like is very similar to each other. And while it’s great that you know your preferences… sometimes you wanna see something different, right? Anime has a lot of sub-genres within it.

Maybe your could try a romantic comedy like Kaguya-sama or My Dress Up Darling? Or a mystery show like Oddtaxi or Apothecary Diaries?

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:20

Yeah I should definitely branch out. I realize now that I enjoyed the battle shonen growing up as a kid. Now that I’m 22 it’s gotten kinda old I guess

the-eternal-freshie2026-01-21 22:20

Overflow, redo of healer, and food wars is a very interesting and family friendly show 😇

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:21

I’ve heard of food wars. If it’s anything like an animated version of Hell’s Kitchen I’d definitely watch that😂

-awinisawin-2026-01-21 22:25

Dont listen to this guy... he is trolling...

Uchiha_Obito2222026-01-21 22:50

I really hope the majority of these aren’t trolls. I just wanna watch a good show man😂

-awinisawin-2026-01-21 23:03

from what i see, most other comments aren't

the-eternal-freshie2026-01-21 23:42

You don’t gotta worry, I looked at all the other comments and they’re all good and not trolls

WadeD962026-01-21 22:29

check out Bluelock, its a soccer/sports anime

Desperate-Middle47662026-01-21 22:38

So something close to your taste: Nurarihyon no Mago. MC is 1/4 demon and heir to the demon yakuza family. If it had been handled better it would have been up there with top shounen

-awinisawin-2026-01-21 22:50

Not to parrot everyone else, but it does look like some fatigue is setting in. Other than anime, what type of shows or movies are you currently excited to watch?

if you are looking for things more in line with darker stories or more involved plots, I have not seen these mentioned:

Erased
Black Lagoon
Darker Than Black
86
PsychoPass
Terror in Resonance
Oshi no Ko
C: The Money of Souls and Possibility
Any of the Blood Series

hattchin2026-01-21 23:01

I think that it's time for you to try new genres like others said. but not only seinen... there are thousands of genres that can be explored and bring something different.

So some suggestions:

The following are still shounen but non battle shounen

**slice of life / coming of age:**

\- Hyouka

\- Gin no Saji

\- Barakamon

\- Uchuu Kyoudai

\- Sakamichi no Appolon

**Sports**

\- Ping Pong the Animation

\- Baby Steps

**Psychological/Suspense**

\- Psycho pass

\- NHK ni Youkoso

\- Zankyou no Terror

\- Odd Taxi

\- Shinsekai Yori

**Sci-fi**

\- Space Dandy

\- Dennou Coil

\- Pluto

**Comedy**

\-Great Teacher Onizuka

\-Sakamoto desu ga

I feel this gives you a pretty good range to find other stuff that you might like. worst case scenario you also just find a bunch of things you do not like, but then it's also easy to filter out series that are not for you :)

Dramatic_Complex_6722026-01-21 23:08

Durarara has a bit more depth to the story and it's complete.

Enough_Campaign_65612026-01-22 00:20

Try something other than Shonen action. Plenty of anime with a good plot and more than a few with "plot". Mushoku Tensei or Frieren would both be good to watch. Both have some action but its far from the focus.

Faz3Sn1pez2026-01-22 11:31

Blue lock isn’t too bad or rezero could be good
