Hi there, I’m trying to get into more anime as of late, but don’t really know where to start.

For reference, here’s my anilist.co with what I’ve watched (AFAIR).
I really enjoyed Sousou no Frieren recently and I’ve also watched a lot of Studio Ghibli, with Mononoke-hime being an all-time favourite of mine. And FWIW Meitantei Conan is my favourite manga, although I haven’t watched the anime that much.

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for all your recommendations already, I’ve added them to my watchlist and will check them out!

    I don’t suppose you’ve heard of Full Metal Alchemist or Avatar the Last Airbender (technically not anime)? To me those are staple titles of the medium.

      I’m pretty sure I read Fullmetal Alchemist 15 or so years ago, but I don’t remember the story well at all.
      I’ve seen Avatar the Last Airbender mentioned countless times, but never took a look at it, I’ll check it out!

        I should clarify something about Fullmetal Alchemist. There are actually two Fullmetal Alchemist anime. The original aired in 2003 and was quite good for a while, but then about 1/3 of the way through the story it caught up with the source material and had to start making things up. Unfortunately I don’t think it did a great job of that. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was made in 2009 and does a really good job of following the story of the original manga. It probably has the best ending out of all the action/adventure anime I’ve ever seen; I highly recommend it. It also has the best English dub I’ve ever seen in an anime, so that’s also something to consider if you don’t feel like reading subtitles.

      Avatar is an American cartoon animation with anime-style inspired appearance, not an anime per se. In fact, they never did even regional japanese versions, only japanese dub over the originals America-made

          Yes, I gotta say it’s pretty well made and many people are fooled to think it’s an anime because of the art style inspired from animes. I can’t come up to mind with another cartoon animation that could pull that up.
