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!

    Bro gave End of Evangelion a 1/5 💀 Maybe try the Rebuild movies, they have a happier ending than End of Eva. Mononoke-hime is peak though.

    But checking on the rest of your list, here are a few others of ranging quality:

    • Claymore - Serious dark fantasy, basically a show that follows Witcher women that hunt monsters.

    • Black Lagoon - Sometimes serious, sometimes comedy, follows a boring office kid on an adventure with a rag tag group of criminals

    • Bubblegum Crisis (the original OVA series) - Peak 1980s Cyberpunk anime, basically Power Rangers but armored women vs androids called Boomers. Shame its only 8 episodes. The Tokyo 2040 remake was mid, the story was a little better but the art style and theme style was pretty much trashed compared to the original

    • Full Metal Panic - Sometimes serious, sometimes comedy, follows a PMC agent assigned to protect a young girl, features mecha

    • Jin-Roh - Very serious war time style movie, set in an alternate timeline where Nazi Germany conquered and occupies Japan, follow an elite counterterrorism officer and his struggle between love and country. Lots of symbolism with Little Red Riding Hood in the story

    • Record of Lodoss War - Peak 90s Dark Fantasy anime. Like, the daddy of almost all modern fantasy anime with a gold standard art style to match, seriously don’t skip this one
