| Boku no Pico, this is the greatest anime ever created. (You must watch it) |
[/center] |
| I'll give you a couple that are more on the cult following status: Monster, Great Teacher Onizuka, Initial D and Kaiji |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| Here are some of my personal favorites that I think can meet your criteria. Attack on Titan - According to your list, you don't have it on there, so I'm going to assume that you haven't seen it. Anyway, it's a story-driven series with some of the best CG work you'll see in an anime (although there are some questionable moments), a kickass OST, and a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat most of the time. Steins;Gate - It's very hard to avoid this series if you go anywhere on this site, and for good reason. Has some of the best character chemistry you'll see in an anime, along with a story that will make you laugh, cry, shocked, and other emotions that I can't describe currently. Kill la Kill - A silly, action-packed story that doesn't take itself too seriously, and is easy to get into. Nice visuals and OST, and a guaranteed good time every time you watch this show. Also, you mentioned One Punch Man, but there's also Mob Psycho 100 that I think you'll enjoy. It's made by the same creator, and if you liked that, then you should try this out. Godly animation and truly likable characters will make this one hell of an experience. Also Boku no Pico is a good watch. Recommend it wholeheartedly 11/10 |

| Golden Kamuy is pretty new and fairly obscure. If you can stomach some icky cg every now and then, you'll be treated to a funny but violent "spaghetti western" set in Hokkaido during the Russo-Japanese War. It's an action thriller, historical documentary and cooking show all in one. Sounds weird but it's a great watch, and season 3 is on the way! |
| Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex / Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Pick your poison. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| You must watch March comes in like a Lion , I think it had an impact on my life because it shows the struggle in life and they have lots of solutions for it . They have made anime based on life problems and how to face them also it has its unique art style so it's fun to watch |

| "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun" is very good! Also "Grand Blue" is one of the funniest anime/manga I have ever seen/read, but you have to have fairly low brow humor to really enjoy it! If you haven't seen "Chihayafuru" then WATCH IT! One of my favorite anime all time with an all-star VA cast and an interesting premise. Other potential shows that are great, but under watched are "Silver Spoon", "Mushishi", "Saiki Kusuo", "Hibike Euphonium", etc. Feel free to take a look at my list for anything scored above an 8 |
| Blanks. |
| Shit if everyone is going to cheat and say more than 1 I might as well too. I say watch Great Teacher Onizuka and High Score Girl. GTO: Funny, Vulgar, and has a plot so I wouldn't consider it that much a SoL. I've yet to encouter a main character that is so much fun to see live whether it be moral or immoral, fun or boring. Onizuka just makes the anime great by existing and the side characters all feel relevant to the story to me. High Score Girl: Feels good vibes, great music, and I like the art but that highly depends on the person cause most CGI is disgusting. |
| Baseball is the new game. |
| If you enjoy psychological horror thriller, you'll enjoy Higurashi. It has two seasons (Higurashi and Higurashi Kai), with both seasons having a different kind of theme. I won't spoil anything, but the Higurashi series has godlike writing, especially in Higurashi Kai. I consider Higurashi Kai to be my favourite anime of all time. There's a third season which is an OVA, but it's not important or part of the main story. |
| Don't question my antics. |
| Try Golden Kamuy. It's a show that mixes action, adventure, mistery and comedy and manages to excel at each of those. It has a way of showing the most f****d up stuff imaginable and turning them into jokes, which baffles me in how effective it is. It has THE funniest scene in anime history on season 2, and probably many runner-ups too. It was overlooked by most people (me included) when it first aired because of the wonky animation on the first few episodes, but that improves almost imediately (and it wasn't even that bad to begin with). It's one of the best anime I've watched recently, and there's a confirmed 3rd season in the works. |

| I thought all of these were pretty solid. The genres vary. -Death Parade -Black Lagoon -Grimgar: Ashes and Illusions -Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex -Made in Abyss -Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic |
sshk1234 said: Can anyone recommend me ones that are complete, recent and has the mc either starting of weak and getting op or just starts of by being super op That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime or Overlord might fit what you're looking for. |
| My favorite anime is Gintama so that's my #1 must watch, if you're up to watch hundreds of episodes. There's a lot of comedy and it can get pretty weird sometimes but there's also great action and drama episodes. The monogatari series is also one of my favorite anime. The animation is amazing and the story too. There's also Soul Eater, I honestly haven't watched it in a long time but I remember loving watching every episode. I'd also recommend every other anime in my favorites list, except maybe Nichijou since it's purely a comedy anime. |
| Oh wow a must watch show, huh? Well, time to pull out the list of anime I have rewatched so many times, I’ve lost count. Spirited Away: alright so the premise sounds weird, I know, but if you can look past it, the best feel good, adventure, fantasy kind of movie you could get. It’s not sappy with unnecessary or forced character development. The characters are likable and aren’t just moving images with two brain cells. It’s a movie so even if you don’t like it, it was only about 2 hours long. Bonus: Studio Ghibli knows how to deliver. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun: I have seen this so many times, I can recite you episodes. This piece is hilarious and you just don’t get this type of humor often. I don’t even know how or when I started rewatching this almost annually but I’ve now seen it about 10 times already. The comedy doesn’t get old and all the characters have great chemistry with each other. Kon Satoshi Movies: alright, big fan. Just saw his Sennen Joyuu in theaters and, wow, it was so good. I definitely do think you should check out all of the works he has done. I suggest you watch the movies in the order they were released, just to see the different styles of storytelling he employs in each of his films. I personally believe Perfect Blue is the best thriller, horror, psychological anime movie to watch. Paprika, on the other hand, for me was quite a disappointment. Numerous other secret gems but I’ll keep this post short, for now. |

| Always been Steins;Gate and Madoka Magica for me |
  |
| Pingu in the City Why? N O O T N O O T, that's why. Also, it's a universal comedy because you don't have to understand the language. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| If you haven't seen it yet I recommend Mushishi. It's a very intriguing and spiritual SoL series set in medieval Japan containing beings called Mushi that live along with humans, though most humans can't perceive them. Watching this show was a very transcending experience for me, so I recommend everyone who outright doesn't hate slow episodic shows to give it a try. |
| The pretentious list: -Neon Genesis Evangelion -Legend of the Galactic Heroes -Ping Pong -Welcome to the NHK -Tatami Galaxy -Monster -Texhnolyze -Serial Experiments Lain -Perfect Blue -Cowboy Bebop -Nausicaa -Eromanga Sensei |
| Well, from looking at your list... Steins;Gate - I’m mostly referring to the 2011 series, not so much Steins;Gate 0 that came out last year. Definitely one of, if not, the best sci-fi series I’ve ever watched. Shinsekai Yori - This one is probably a little more dark than what you’re accustomed to...and there’s a particular...thing that happens around episode 8 that turned a lot of people away...but trust me when I say this, easily one of the best mystery anime and anime period that I’ve ever watched. Clannad: After Story - I know Clannad is on your “plan to watch” list, but add After Story right now. Even if you think Clannad is just some run-of-the-mill VN style romantic comedy, let me assure you nothing can prepare you for the emotional rollercoaster that is Clannad: After Story. I’d say it has three or four of the most heart wrenching moments I’ve ever seen in an anime series. Speaking of heart wrenching... Ano Hana (it’s actually got a really long name, but everyone just calls it Ano Hana) - One of the saddest and inspiring anime I’ve ever watched. It was seriously so inspiring that it got me to reach out to some of my old, close friends to reconnect. It seems like you liked Your Lie In April, so I think you’ll really like this. Violet Evergarden - Man, I sure am introducing a lot of tearjerkers, huh? This series was just so damn moving. It was my favorite anime from 2018, but there was a close second... A Place Further Than The Universe - I’m not always one for anime that has cute girls doing cute things, but I was honestly overwhelmed at how inspiring this series was and how much drive these girls had. I was not expecting it to be that great and I was absolutely blown away. Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (including 2nd GIG) - I have to give you something a little older. GITS:SAC was the anime that SOLD me on anime. If you’re going to watch essentially what boils down to a cyberpunk cop drama, THIS is the series to watch. The cast has such damn good chemistry and it has some great action scenes as well. |
| Hmm, I really don't have any #1 Must Watch in the sense I would give as a recommendation because I would just then be recommending my favorites and my favorites won't necessarily be other people's favorites. I have my close top-tier favorites but they might not resonate the same way with you or you might not see the appeal, depending on show. So if asked this question I'm tempted to commit the ultimate sin and answer with another question: What are your preferred genres? That would help to narrow it down. |
| 1000% recommend Violet Evergarden for new weebs (but do skip if you don't feel like crying rn) |
  "O kawaii koto" ( ´• ᴗ •` ) I wish i could love myself~ |
| What world do you live in where Akira is the only 80s anime with fantastic visuals? The ignorance hurts. My picks: Ashita no Joe Ie Naki Ko Rose of Versailles Akage no Anne |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I'd recommend Terra e...(TV) and Juuni Kokuki If you don't mind movies and rather plain character designs then give Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni a shot, it's really good. |

| Girls & Panzer Shinsekai Yori JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Asobi Asobase |
| well since everyone else is giving more than one Chihayafuru Hanasaku Iroha Shirobako Hibike Euphonium |
| I would say Monster, but i'm starting to get tired for repeting myself so much, so I'm gonna change my answer and say Gankutsuou. |
 |
| Well I'd recommend my favorites ofc but not knowing what you already watched there I'll say - Kokoro Connect - Binbougami, ga* - Grand Blue* - Youkoso Jitsuriyoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e° - Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai - Rokudenashi Majustu Koushi to Akashic Records° - Chihayafuru - Brave Story - Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai - Saint Oniisan - Wotaku ni Koi wa muzukashii* - Kiznaiver - Kappa no Coo to Natsuyasumi For some you might wanna read the manga*/novel° after the anime This is a bit of a longer list ^^' some aren't exactly 'Hidden Gems' but I feel like they were all pretty good so ye.. try them ^^ |

| Ctrl+F "One Outs" no results. Congrats, you now know about the greatest hidden gem ever. |
| Monster . Not exactly my favorite anime but one of them, and clearly one of the best things out there. It's useless to compare it to modern anime because that kind of anime is not really made anymore, but the visuals are not that old and it's really well done. It's one of those things every fan of anime should at least try to watch once in a lifetime and you most probably won't regret it. |
| +1 Boku no pico Dr. Stone (Currently Airing) An absolute masterpiece |
