Japanese mecha anime television series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurren_Lagann
I limit it to less episodes or OVAs to prevent bad plots. Ever watch Gurren Lagann? I’d say it’s if Eva was silly and had character development. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUzzAlorT7Q
If you haven't watched End of Evangelion and the sequel movies, those are my favorite parts of the series.
Gurren Lagann is a wonderful homage to other mecha series. The series evolves in a REALLY interesting way, it blew my mind. Is worth sticking it out to the end!
Berserk (2016) is awesome, though I go back and forth on weather it transcends it's own violence. I'm probably just being a prude though, since nobody else seems to care haha.
DevilMan Crybaby(2018) is worth a watch. It is a gorgeously animated edgelord anime, run through a modern filter to make it more palatable.
Dorohedoro (2020) is bizarre and nihilistic and is written by a female author which is cool.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012 - present) suffers from being the product of a "less woke" 80's and 90's but man... I love it so much. It is so dumb and fun. There is a LOT of it but you just have to go along for the ride.
One Punch Man (2015) is great fun.
I tend to follow individual studios and directors.
Hiroyuki Imaishi has been consistently excellent.
Satoshi Kon is a legend, pick ANYTHING by him and you will not be disappointed.
Shinichirō Watanabe. I'm especially fond of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.
Studio Trigger makes great stuff.
Gurren Lagann goes way off the rails in the last few episodes too. I enjoyed that as well. Never thought of it spoiling anyone from enjoying a trendsetting predecessor.
