Golden Wind is perhaps one of the best anime I have ever watched. Every character in the main crew is excellent. Bucciarati makes such an inspiring leader whose sense of justice and love for his team make it impossible not to root for him. Narancia's fiery temper combined with his innocent naiveté make him simultaneously extremely entertaining and endearing to watch. Mista's cool persona and passion for his friends also make it a pleasure to witness his ferocity. I'm so glad that they gave Trish a character arch from spoiled princess to badass warrior willing to not only stand up for herself but also those

Digimon Adventure
(Anime)
add
It is probably just my nostalgia goggles but I really like Digimon. I think the characters (while may not be the deepest out there) are charming and the animation is cool. Unlike Pokemon, the show has some actual plot that feels like it has stakes and the characters do grow and become better people. And, to my child brain at least, the fight scenes were very fun even if a lot of them were essentially monster of the week and kind of formulaic. Still though, this first season of Digimon is the best season of Digimon in my opinion and the one worth watching.

Bocchi the Rock!
(Anime)
add
Bocchi the Rock expertly blends the feelings of social anxiety and loneliness with the beauty and power of music. As a musician with social anxiety, this is something I highly relate to. You want to root for Bocchi and see her succeed in being a famous musician and I loved seeing her slowly become more confident in herself. It was so amazing to see Bocchi realize that her friends like her for who she is and want to be with her just because she is a good person was something truly powerful. Also, the music kicks so much ass! I honestly added so many of

Koe no Katachi
(Anime)
add
A masterpiece in storytelling, "A Silent Voice" portrays the true feelings of social anxiety and loneliness on screen. Shōya's redemption arc is one of the best I have ever seen. You truly see him grow into a better person, while also bearing the scars and pain from his past life. The ending of the movie made me cry as he realizes that he isn't alone in life and his past mistakes do not define him. A movie that shows what it means to be human and fail, while also reminding you that no matter how hard it is and how scared you are, you can

Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season
(Anime)
add
Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 has some of the best animation and most hype action scenes I've ever seen. The only comparable shonen I can think of off the top of my head is Demon Slayer however I would say their styles are very distinct. While Demon Slayer has such vibrant colors and fluid movement, JJK is the most fast-paced, clean action. Honestly, if anyone is a fan of the Shonen genre in general this is a must-watch.
I will caution, however, that some scenes are very violent and people do die in this show. Admittedly I feel like some of the deaths of this season ...

Shinseiki Evangelion
(Anime)
add
It's strange, at times it feels like there have been a piece of media that was created specifically for you. Neon Genesis Evangelion is that anime for me. I hate Shinji. I hate how he runs from pain. I have that he lives his life for others so that they will like him. I hate how he simultaneously wants so badly to be loved while also being so afraid of being hated that he paralyzes himself with fear. I feel that way because I am him unfortunately :( His journal to find himself and live in a world where he can recognize that who he
