List of shows that don't require much effort in their initial phase and remain enjoyable throughout their run. These are perfect for people facing anime burnout.

This list isn't genre specific. I've mentioned all the relevent genre and theme for each entry. I've also mentioned any negative issues, if there are any, that the respective show has, along with some warnings and important notes.

Note: I haven't mentioned any sequels here.
One Punch Man
TV, 2015, 12 eps Me:- Author:10
Action, Comedy

You like action? Go for it! Nothing much can be said. It's a one-of-a-kind show.
Jujutsu Kaisen

Battle Shounen

Every shounen trope done right! One of the best if not the best ost and animation, which will keep you hooked throughout its entire run.

Psychological, Romance, Comedy (Only romcom with psychological elments in it)

A constant back-and-forth between two of the sharpest minds in school, as they try to get each other to confess. One of the best (the best for me) romcom anime has to offer!

Note: Dialogue-heavy - subbed version has lots of text on screen, but not a problem for people who are already accustomed to watching subbed anime. Also, the dub is just as good as the sub (maybe even better).

TV, 2012, 26 eps Me:- Author:8
Supernatural, Adventure

A weird and bizarre story filled with mystery and intriguing characters.
Black Clover
