    Since people are making such threads. I decided to make one myself

    Bec warned in advance that I am very hard to please.
    I found Vinland Saga childish and dumb

    Turn offs
    • Loli exceptions like Youjo Senki are fine
    • Highschool setting
    • Harem
    • Tragedy
    • Dumb protagonist
    • Anime that are just long commercials eg Overlord
    • BL/ Yaoi
    • Rape
    • Gore : Berserk is crap. I said it
    • Tragedy. No point if the ending isn't positive. Real Life is a tragedy. I don't intend for fantasy to be the say
    Anime I have enjoyed that came out the past few years is
    Shoukoko no Altair
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altair:_A_Record_of_Battles
    I am a big fan of strategy
    I figured the opposite of my turn offs will suffice so I don't need a second list.
    I found god of high school highly disappointing. Mixing up with a Korean drama of the same name about a spy like MC didn't help. There is a recent anime about a demon hand high school student but I am not interested

    Impress me!

    I think Haibane Renmei might fit. I can’t remember whether the ending was tragic, but I don’t think it was. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.

    Looks like an introspective Japanese story.
    I started avoiding them in live action since they end up as empty philosophical pieces with no answer or directions

    They simply raise questions just for the sake of it.
    They usually lack purpose

    Agreed. @Wujigege , I guarantee you will love it. It is, in a word, perfect, as close to a Miyazaki for adults as you can imagine. Go watch it!:D:D:D:D:D

    It is introspective…however, it is awesome. Go watch it.;)

    They really don’t make great anime, with intelligent plots and interesting questions any more. Sigh…

    Witch Hunter Robin
    Serial Experiment Lain
    Planetes (awesome if you like space exploration)
    Rahxephon (it will grind you up and spit out the remains of your mind…truly awesome)
    Some of the more obscure Miyazaki
    :D
    And despite the massive fan service he got for his recent theatrical releases…
    The Children Who Hear Lost Voices and his earlier work is awesome.:D

    Makoto Shinkai did Voices of a Distant Star, which to me is one of my faves of all time. I know Your Name got a lot of press, and publicity, but watch it, it is awesome.:p

    The one about the girls going to Antarctica is good too. :D

    Dunno if it's to your taste, but Zombieland Saga is an idol anime that has some comedy involved and a pretty weird setting with zombies idols and stuff.

    It's not a high school setting story, but most of the idols are around high school age, though some were middle schoolers and some were adults when they died.

    It's primarily a comedy show, but it has pretty good characters and nice developments... And well, great songs as you'd expect from an idol anime.

    There is also a sequel called Zombieland Saga Revenge~

    Uhn... That's the only one I can think of rn. I think it doesn't fit into any of your turn-offs, but I dunno if it's anything you'd be interested in watching either.

    An older anime called Monster. It is a mystery and psychological thriller.

    Zombies fall under horror, not my cup of tea

    I know of it.
    I should have indicated clearly that gore isn't my taste.
    It's also a tragic story.
    Thanks anyway

    Why thoo?? They got such a beautiful visual and fighting eftect

    By the way I recommend you Moriarty the Patriot, idk if it's count as gore, but honestly this is not really my cup of tea, i only watched half of it, many people recommend this one if you want to think when watching anime

    Protagonist is dumb as a brick.

    Also fights solve everything stories feel too childish.
    I am too old for it

    with that list i almost find motivated to find the anime matching the most of you hate points

    highschool of the dead should be a 5 on that list ^^

    would bleach be gore on your list?

    back to your wanted list : wouldnt that leave you open for mostly comedy stuff ?
    beelzebub wasnt bad and would just be a dumb mc
    tried Sei Juushi Bismark ?
    FLCL perhaps

    but it would be easier if you listed what you want to see
    seinen?
    action?
    parody?
    slice of life ?
    historical?
    fantasy?

    Odd Taxi - it has a nice ending...

    Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun - it's a decent adaptation (but I prefer the novel) it's actually a good anime about social dynamics, although I feel that this anime is for social awkward people, not for normies.

    Errr... actually, just checked the YT again, it seems Ani One started to implement an "ultra membership" group that could only be acces by paying (+/-) USD 2 a month & Tsukimichi is part of it, sorry
