Aria
Everything was great, but especially the first season and Aria the Origination.
Made In Abyss
Probably the only long-running anime, whose manga that I'm occasionally trying to keeping up with. The third movie had some great OST.
Golden Boy
My feel good anime. This one, Perfect Blue and Yokohama are usually the first anime that I watch when making new friends to check how we vibe. What the fuck is wrong with the manga?!
Mushishi
Ginko is the greatest "chill dude" out there. He reminds me a lot of Snufkin from Moomins.
Monogatari Series
Attractive girls (and guys - RRRG and the other guy who probably fucked with Crab are kinda hot) endlessly talking, made interesting. Only Shaft can do that. Second Season was the most memorable arc.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Pure bliss. The best things don't last long - just two good episodes. The second season was mid. Iyashi-key ("healing") anime were my favourite before it became popular (= before Frieren came out).
Kino No Tabi
Pure Kino. The 2006 series, didn't watch the new Kino. I really resonate with Kino's "I'm not gonna interfere and pretend to be morally superior" mentality. A breath of fresh air in the smog of shounen MCs having a saviour complex.
Monster
Really, really good - but I took too many and too long gaps in watching that, so I've too many gaps in my memory. Probably need to rewatch it.
Prison School
Just bros doing dumb shit together. It's absurdly funny. Don't read the last manga volume.
GTO
Golden Boy vibes. I fucking love Onizuka so much. There are people who say this show is great, but think the beginning is too perverted. For me it was great from A to Z.
Genshiken
Makes me feel less bad for being a weeb and having weird interest. It's so humanizing and comfy. The Yaoi-seasons were a bit weak.
GochiUsa
Cute high IQ girls doing cute high IQ things.
Paprika
I love dreamy and experimental stuff like this. Used to listen to the OST on repeat for a while.
Samurai Champloo
Great fucking OST. Bittersweet ending.
Planetes
Space drama, really good OST.
Memories
Three underrated great movies.
Shinsekai Yori
A bit too much drama and time skips for me. Lesbians! Did Sqealer do anything wrong?
Shinryaku! Ika Musume
I love this autistic squid so much!
Steins;Gate
There is no such thing as a good tsunde... Oh, my bad. I never thought about waifuism much... until I learned about Kurisu. This is the kind of nerdy romance I enjoy.
Perfect Blue
Anything by Satoshi Kon, actually. Psychological horror, but actually good.
Otaku no Video
Weird. Geeky. Artsy. Interesting. I love it.
Video Girl AI
An anime about an anime girl becoming real. And it's old. Cute romance. Underrated.
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
Cute alien girl doing cute things. Shaft delivers.
Mawaru Penguindrum
I only watched it for the "Year Of The Linux Desktop" meme.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
I'm only really adding it to the list, because my friend would kill me otherwise.
The World God Only Knows
Good show. Spoiler: Worst girl wins.
There are some other shows I'd probably add to this list at some point.
