Personal favourites

[Fraudulent]

These are just my personal all-time favourite anime which I recommend you watch.
Some of them you might like some maybe not. A lot of them are mainstream and you most likely already know about them.

Action:
-Bleach

Great action-packed anime with a decent storyline. Personally I found it boring at around ep70 or 80. Usually top 3 on most anime websites.

-Highschool of The Dead

Excellent anime if you're into that blood and gore shit. In a nutshell: Zombies and badass highschool students.
A lot of fan service so beware of the ecchi. Loads of guns, Katana's and big breasts.

-Kill la Kill

Nice storyline which features the development of the main character. Badass fighting scenes, a bit of drama and a lot of ecchi. A lot

-Angel Beats

I found Angel Beats to be quite an emotional anime, but at the same time action packed and humorous with equal strength. It's really sad though.

Sports
-Kuroko no Basuke

KnB easily secures a position in my top 10 list of favourite anime, and if you're into sports, it would do the same to you.
Outstanding story that features the development of Kagami Taiga - A highschool basketballer with big dreams.
Definitely worth watching.

-Haikyuu!!

Another amazing sports anime similar to KnB. This time the anime follows a storyline about a small-in-height student with amazing physical abilities who joins a highschool with a poorly structured volleyball team and helps them climb the ranks in the tournament.

-Galactik Football

Unsure if you can actually call this an anime since it wasn't made by Japanese people but Galactik Football was definitely something a lot of people (including me)have watched and adored in the past (it last aired in 2006). If you're into Football this is definitely something for you.

Strategic combat
I don't really know what to call this since it involves brains and combat.

Code Geass

One of my top 10 anime. Code Geass is a great anime that involves mecha-battles and strategy. The protagonist - Lelouch uses chess to control the battlefield and ultimately acts as the ears and eyes of his allies.

Death Note

I don't know if you can really call this strategic, but Death Note revolves around two extremely intelligent detective-like men who hide behind aliases and try to figure out who they are from scratch.
Sorry for the poor explanation, there's a lot more to this anime than what I just explained but that's just the outline.


There are many, many more anime that I can recommend but I don't want to make a massive post.
Honorable mentions:
-Mirai Nikki: Drama/Action.
-Elfen Lied: Action, Gore.
-Akame Ga Kill: Action
-Accell World: Simulator
-Log Horizon: Simulator
-Sword Art Online: Simulator
-Attack on Titan: Action/Drama.

I mean, if you're on this forum then it only makes sense that you've watched Naruto, so I've reserved space by not adding such an obvious entry.

My favs:
1. Naruto (needs no explaination)
2. One Piece (Awesome story and some serious action pirates vs marine + Awesome powers)
3. One Punch Man (OP main character as the name suggests and a pretty awesome story + Action)
4. Nanatsu no Taizai (Seven deadly sins...knights and stuff...nice story + back story..action packed awesomeness)
5. Gintama (havent completed yet but the anime surely is one of my top five. Action + Comedy (mainly adult jokes) + Badass fights + Sword play + Ancient Japan with spaceships and aliens.....it doesnt get better)

Honorable mentions:
Noragami
Shingeki no Kyojin
Kuroko no Basket
Sword Art Online
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
