Here are some of my favorites: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Fist of the North Star, Gundam, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Full Metal Alchemist, Dragonball Z, The Animatrix, Fooly Cooly, Sailor Moon, Lupin the Third, Howl’s Moving Castle, Pokémon, Samurai Champloo, etc.
Friends have suggested Berserk, Parasyte, Lain, Perfect Blue and Trigun. Will probably watch those next (not big into modern anime and the animation tbh).
So I started watching the Netflix version of Neon Genesis Evangelion in early 2020. A friend of mine told me to ditch it and watch the original English dub instead (sorry, I’m a dub guy). My Netflix subscription expired and I totally forgot about it.
Fast forward to May 2022 and I’m now dealing with all sorts of personal/family drama. I had a strong urge to watch it all of a sudden. Then I found this awesome site
https://4anime.gg/watch/neon-genesis-evangelion-209?ep=4784(It is chock full of anime, subbed or dubbed btw)
I binge watched and by far it’s my favorite anime of all time. It totally broke me down. I put it up there with Alan Moore’s Watchmen, George Lucas’ Star Wars and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 as one of the best, finest science fiction stories ever told. Hideaki Anno is a master storyteller.
For anyone who has depression, bipolar disorder, suicidal thoughts, or schizophrenia, be warned that this series may trigger you or bring back bad memories. That being said, as someone who’s been 5150’d and been in mental institutions, I gained so much from watching this anime.
Going to watch End of Evangelion next. What a fucked, brilliant story.
