I was *so sure* I was gonna need to merge this with an existing thread when I saw the title, but nope, looks like this is the first! (Seems surprising, somehow.)

On topic, Apothecary Diaries is a pretty delightful show, a kind of detective series from the unconventional lens of a faux-period piece. (A sort of alt-history China with other nations and cultures peppered in.) You get courtly intrigue, romance, mystery, and a delightful protagonist who obsesses over the minute details of all manner of things, but especially poisons....which is refreshing for a detective series, since eleventh hour obscure toxin reveals have been a blight on the genre since well before Agatha Christie.

Personally, I do prefer the manga, but the show has been a hit here in my house, with gorgeous art and relaxing music. It is hard not to be the person who reveals what's coming in later chapters though...

Yeah I haven't seen anything too obscure lol but big recommendations just in case

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Not sure what to recommend if you're only into the more popular animes, though I would maybe say check out more obscure animes.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just added it to my Watchlist on Crunchyroll

Monster... if it's the one that i remember was 2005 or so, it's basically about a doctor/medical student genius who feels disenfranchised after his 'hero' he found out just used other people's papers. So he spites him by saving someone who wasn't getting palms greased. That ends up being a serial killer/monster.

I've only seen a couple episodes so that's all i remember.

Now if it's the more recent monster (as in reincarnated as a goblin/monster) well that's more isekai.

Yeah it's on netflix it came out in 2004 it says. Once I'm finished watching Breaking Bad I'm gonna start watching it.

 

[Moshat]

A general list of what I consider masterpeices (or very nearly approaching that), assuming youve seen quite a few already :)

• Cyberpunk Edgerunners - Absolute powerhouse of an anime, took over Bebop as my all time #1
• Serial Experiments Lain
• Devilman Crybaby
• Paranoia Agent
• Ghost in the Shell - Series & Movies (I prefer the series)
• Bebop
• Samurai Champloo
• Baccano
• Steins;Gate
• Erased
• Link Click
• Monster (2004) - was already recommended, its great!
• Mars Express - French animated movie, very modern GITS vibes.

 

[ShibbyDealer]

The only actual somewhat obscure rec I can give is Chio's School Road. It's actually pretty funny, one of the few anime that actually made me laugh.

 

[bjork]

The episode of Doraemon about the Lucky Gun, because it's wild to think it actually aired.

 

[Klonoa7]

Add Expelled from Paradise to the list. It’s more of a movie but it’s an entertaining watch.

Aldnoah.Zero was also good.

 

[Enian]

• Ouran High School Host Club
• Black Rock Shooter (2012)
• The Saga of Tanya the Evil
• Gabriel DropOut
• Rurouni Kenshin (1996)

I've tried to cover a wide span of genres from the things I watched and really enjoyed. I suppose Rurouni Kenshin might be the most alike to stuff like Naruto. Haven't watched the remake, so I specified the original.

They are all great shows and I'd rewatch all of them in a heartbeat.

I've seen 18 out of the 28 you recommend. I'm gonna add the ones I haven't watched to my watchlist

 

[Egg (McMuffin) Man]

Kochikame

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Bubblegum Crisis and Cyber City Oedo 808 are my current watches.

For something more recent maybe Pluto.

 

[Guinea]

Deca-Dence
Paranoia Agent
Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal

 

[spectresfrommercury]

jigoku shoujo

 

[Leon]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned frieren yet, it's probably the best anime of the last decade.

Gonna go for the 00's and older classics.
Record of lodoss war OVA (one of my personal favorites)
Tekkaman Blade
Shadow skill (movie is better but both show and movie are great)
Vampire Hunter D
Armitage III
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Gundam X
Mobile Fighter Gundam Wing
Galaxy Express 999
Cowboy Bebop (obviously)
Robot Carnival (it's not so much a suggestion but a experience, it will show you how anime once was)
Tenchi Muyo! (was hesitant to post this, it's a good show but it's also more or less the founder of the harem genre)
The Vision of Escaflowne
Patlabor (movie, tv series, ova, patlabor is famous in japan for a reason)
Street Fighter II the animated movie
Venus Wars
3x3 Eyes
Ah! My Goddess (series, if you like romance)
I will also back up bubblegum crisis and cyber city oedo 808

For more modern anime:
Sousou no Frieren/frieren the slayer as i mentioned before.
Wotaku ni koi
Tsukimichi ~Moonlit Fantasy~
Ergo Proxy (if you like mind screw anime, this borders on 00's but putting it here as it was revolutionary at the time)
Zetsuen no Tempest (another psychological story, though not in the same way as ergo proxy)
One Punch Man (you've probably seen it)
Stein's Gate
Tensei Shitara Ken Deshta
The Unwanted, Undead Adventurer/Nozumanu Fushi no boukensha (like frieren it's hard fantasy and i love every second of it)
The Irregular at Magic High School (this one i'm kinda hesitant to suggest as while i like it, it's not for everyone, it's probably something someone who liked the more famous anime would like though).
