Last Exile
The story is set on the fictional world of Prester, where its inhabitants use aerial vehicles known as vanships as a means of transportation. On this world which is divided in eternal conflict between the nations of Anatoray and Disith, sky couriers Claus Valca and Lavie Head must deliver a girl who holds the key to uniting the two factions. It's VERY steampunk heavy in terms of architecture and technology. Be ready for some early-mid 2000s CGI as well. The characters are great, the world building is really cool, the music is fantastic. Solid adventure. I didn't like the sequel series that came out a couple years ago however.
Eureka Seven
Set in 12500 a whole 10000 years after humanity made a mass exodus from Earth because of alien life form invasion. The plot revolves around Renton Thurston, a 14 year old living a normal life until he discovers a mysterious girl and her robot or some shit. Look almost everything I can say about this show's plot is generic as hell but just trust me it's really good if only kinda melodramatic and sometimes dumb. If you like mechs, sky surfing, and mechs sky surfing you'll like this one. Also awkward teen romance.
FLCL
My favorite anime of all time. This 6 episode mini-series is a coming of age story with robots and aliens. It's high octane, over the top and stylish as hell. Naota is a 6th grader living in a small Japanese town when he is suddenly run over by an insane woman in a Vespa moped. She then proceeds to pull a robot out of his head later that episode. The synopsis sounds like an acid trip and watching the show you'll probably ask yourself what the hell is going on? constantly but it's all solid and makes sense on multiple viewings. This is Gainax at their finest and I can't wait for the 2 seasons commissioned by Adult Swim. Also it has an amazing soundtrack by one of my favorite Japanese bands: The Pillows.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Where the hell do you even start with a series like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? It's a literal epic tale of the Joestar family and their generations long battles with the forces of evil. It's a cultural icon that's spawned so many memes that just a single whiff of a reference is itself a reference. It's a relentless showcase of masculinity and bravado. It's a weird as fuck, some would say bizarre, globe trotting adventure like no other. It's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Watch the first 3 episodes of the 2012 adaptation to just see how insane this show is. Trust me there's really nothing else quite like it.
My Hero Academia
Probably the most recent entry on this list. Set on Earth generations after humanity began manifesting random superpowers known as "quirks." From flight to shape-shifting to super strength roughly 90% of the population has a quirk and given rise to Superhero as an actual job title. Izuku Midoriya is one of the few human born without a quirk, which is a problem because he desperately wants to be a pro-hero more than anything in the world. His hopes seem pretty bleak until one day he meets someone he never thought he would. This series is ongoing and as it's based on an also ongoing manga prepare to not have closure for a long while. Still it's a fantastic series and the first season alone is good enough to be its own self-contained story. I love it to bits. Also after watching it you'll have a weird thing about frogs.
Mob Psycho 100
Mob is a shy and quiet middle school boy. He has a crush on the cutest girl in school, doesn't have the best grade, isn't good at sports oh and he's possibly the world's most powerful psychic. This 12 episode series from One the writer of One Punch Man is a unique take on the psychic warriors genre of action anime. It's far and away more important that we understand Mob as a character and it's his interactions with those around him that truly make this show shine. Top that with gorgeous animation, directing and a killer soundtrack and you have a winner. You'll find Mob Psycho 100 on Crunchyroll
One Punch Man
SPEAKING of WanPanMan the smash hit of last year follows Saitama, a hero-for-hobby that trained so hard to be the strongest that he went bald in the process. Saitama is the strongest hero in the world being able to kill (probably) any enemy with a single punch. This strength becomes a curse however in that Saitama is incredibly unhappy with his limitless power. No fame or fun in one sided battles and the general dissatisfaction of a lack of challenge. Like Mob Psycho, One Punch Man is more comedy/character study than straight action (though the action is GREAT). Honestly, you've probably already watched this show as it's the closest an anime has come aside from Attack on Titan in the past few years to be considered mainstream in the West. It's like 12 episodes and on Netflix check it out
Cowboy Bebop
I'm legally obligated to include this because it's a masterpiece. Space bounty hunters, heavy Western influences, stylish as hell, excellent action choreography, sweet as hell characters, amazing soundtrack, it's a near 10/10 and if you're new to anime this is one you HAVE to watch. I believe it's on Hulu
Samurai Champloo
Samurais and hip hop. Champloo is an Okinawan dish that literally translates to "something mixed" both in the fact it's a stir fry and also in Okinawa's American, Japanese and native Okinawan cultural blend. In other words Samurai Champloo is delicious. Directed by Cowboy Bebop director Shinichirō Watanabe this stylized take on Edo-Period Japan follows an offbeat trio searching for a "samurai who smells of sunflowers" and their miscellaneous mis-adventures. It's super slick, really funny, and has a soundtrack by the late Japanese hip hop legend Nujabes.
Read or Die (A.K.A. R.O.D. for the 3 ep movie and R.O.D The TV for the sequel TV series)
Read or Die the OVA follows Yomiko Readman (which btw Yomiko translates to reading child/girl) A.K.A. "The Paper" an agent of a secret British task force that combats and secures people with powers. Yomiko herself is a "paper master" someone who can manipulate paper as they see fit and use them as weapons. The OVA is OK but I REALLY like the series R.O.D. The TV which follows The Paper Sisters a private detective trio of paper masters in their various cases. Eventually these two groups intersect and things get cray-zee. It's not perfect and it might even be worse than I'm remembering but it still hold a special place in my heart.
Kill la Kill
This show was hard to include not because it's not great but because it's hard to find a gif that won't get this post deleted. Kill la Kill follows Ryuko Matoi, a new transfer student at the bizarre and overly militarized Honnouji Academy. At this strange place students are ranked and gifted with powerful clothing that grants them abilities. Ryuko is searching for the owner of half of the scissor-shaped blade that killed her father. Kyruin Satsuki, the leader of the student council and effectively head of Honnouji Academy is her best bet at finding out who killed her dad. So here's the deal with Kill la Kill which you kind of have to know going in. It's crazy good, highly stylized, made by Studio Trigger which are vets from FLCL's Gainax team. The kicker is that Ryuko receives a powerful outfit herself which gives her amazing strength and speed but... she's like... 80% naked wearing it. It's on Netflix if you're curious. If you're not ashamed of seeing some cartoon butts and boobs in a PG-13 way then I highly recommend it.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
I know I have a lot of Gainax shows on here already shut up. TTGL is a legend in the anime world. Set on an Earth like planet where humans have been driven underground by mech riding beastmen the plot revolves around Simon and Kamina, two young boys who dream of one day being able to see the surface again. Kamina does anyway, Simon is perfectly content drilling his days away searching for treasure and artifacts which he does indeed find... a small pilot-able mech head. This show is an adventure that'll take you to places you'll never expect and keeps the twists coming. It easily ranks in many people's Top 3 lists.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is on Netflix
RWBY
I know what you're thinking "Hey wait a minute that's a western produced web-series from Rooster Teeth not anime at all!" Well shove some pocky in your fat stupid gutterwhole and shut the fuck up for a second. I'm one of those neo-weebs that doesn't believe anime has to be restricted to Japan produced and it's more of an artistic style. RWBY starts off sloppy and low budget and gets pretty darn good which for a 6-15 minute per episode long web series you can watch for free on youtube that's pretty neat. If you don't mind some slightly annoying voice acting then I recommend you check it out as the 5th season just started and it's gotten pretty darn interesting.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Speaking of fake anime bullshit here's one of the best western cartoons ever made that's heavily influenced by anime and Asian martial arts films. Avatar takes place on Pandora a planet far from Earth which houses a valuable resource known as unobtanium... wait.... it's about 4 nations of element bending people being in a hundred year war after the disappearance of the "Avatar" the Dali Llama-esque representation of harmony and peace. Turns out it's some bald kid that got frozen and found 100 years later and also the ruthless fire nation is after him. Excellent animation, world building, and character development elevate this 3 season series to legendary status and if you care even a little about animation you should watch this and possibly the sequel Legend of Korra as well.
Ghost in the Shell
Masamune Shirow's iconic manga turned movie is one of the greatest anime films ever made. It also has a sequel I never watched and 3 seasons of anime series. Set in Tokyo in the Mid-Twenty-First Century the series revolves around Major Motoko Kusanagi a synthetic "full-body prosthesis" augmented-cybernetic human employed as the field commander of Public Security Section 9, a fictional law-enforcement division of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission. The series heavily deals with humanity and augmentation. It's highly philosophical and also has a lot of geopolitical talk. With that said it also showcases some of the best action out there. If you like your action to have some brains (be they human or cyborg) then this movie/show is for you. Just avoid the live action remake with Scarlett Johansson.
No doubt I'm forgetting something but that's it for now BYE~
Also here's some Romantic/Comedy anime I enjoyed as well

Wrong.
Tchernobog
I couldn't stand the characterization of the main character. Couldn't make it past the third episode because of him :|
devarian
IIRC he gets better, but slowly. Then the last few episodes are pretty redeeming.
Tchernobog
Hrm. That 'slowly' isn't very enticing, sadly :/
kubi
Unlike most shonen protags, he gets the "l Love You" line out pretty early on. Only to get cockblocked by her kids.

yeah, i got about that far, then he said something that just made me turn off the show in disgust in a "oh for fuck's sake" fashion :P

Where can I watch NGE? I saw it on Toonami once I think but ordering it is expensive
R2DeepThroat94
Try solarmoviez.to they have all of them. Make sure you have adblock on though cause it's not a very legal site and it's got tons of pop ups
Elite47
Than you’ll love Cowboy Bebop who was made by the same studio.
VenerableInheritance
Down for life on Samurai Champloo and decided to try Bebop. By ep4-5 I didn't have slightest clue what it was about and didn't care; boring.
Elite47
It gets better as it starts to get into the characters backgrounds. But if you didn’t enjoy the first few than you probably won’t enjoy it.
pita26
They're totally different things. Bebop is a masterpiece of story telling, Champloo is a masterpiece of animation and style.
R2DeepThroat94
Already seen every episode. I love hand drawn anime

TheWorldEndsWithYou
This show needs another dead on so badly
PedestrianElectrobastard
The anime covered (more than) the good part. The novels only go downhill from there.
TheWorldEndsWithYou
The anime covered 3 of 22 volumes. They could always do more and improve on it
CamelSpotter
I'd honestly settle for an American blu ray set that doesn't cost $800. Freaking Aniplex...
TheWorldEndsWithYou
Okay I would take that for any aniplex dvd. 100 for 6 episodes of erased is insane.

EarlQuortington
What do you like so much about it? I enjoyed watching it enough to finish it, but wouldn't watch it again (love the OST though). Im curious!
GodEmperor0fMankind
You know, I was actually thinking about that. The fight scenes are just incredible and the story is new and refreshing, but I think the
GodEmperor0fMankind
reason I keep coming back is because of the characters. They get beaten down and thrashed around but they never give up. I guess sometimes I
GodEmperor0fMankind
need that kind of inspiration, you know?
EarlQuortington
I understand. I'll admit I too got caught up in the "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!" but, while it was good, it wasn't 1/?
LupusLilium
I felt the pain deeply during that episode that flips the first arc. Just so much pain over everything that happened.
Arcticgamez
you forgot hunter X hunter (2011)
DamianWinters
Im watching that now, its great. Not as good as My hero academia but it might get there.
Midgarmerc
You can't forget something you haven't watched
andreasgtr
1st: I'm really surprised I never see BERSERK in these anime lists.
bykari
Depends on whether you mean the original berserk or the new one. The animation in the new one is marmite for people either love it or hateit
andreasgtr
secretly EVERY Berserk fan watches the new show too but quietly hates lol. Berserk in general 90s series and the movies
andreasgtr
2nd: I wish there could be more of Cowboy Bebop
WorkLurker
Did you see thCB movie Knocking On Heavens Door?
andreasgtr
No not yet :O will check it out :)
Sheepyhead
Because Berserk is pretty cursed in the anime department
TheWorldEndsWithYou
The original show was great
lizardbones
only if you judged the animation by the standards of when it was made. if you compare it to 2005, it looks pretty bad.
TheWorldEndsWithYou
I mean you could say the same thing with most 90s anime but the writing is still solid and the animation is enjoyable
iforgetchangingusername
Check s.CRY.ed
Midgarmerc
idk what it was but I hated that show when it would come on. I should give it another shot though
ClothoBuer
The second half really makes up for the mediocrity of the first half. Goes batshit very quickly.
MahouMonkeyPunch
That final fight between the two main guys is just badass.
drenix
After they dismiss their alter, everything just dissappears...
drenix
I kept wondering: the fuck happen after they run out of matter to turn into their alter? I mean is not like everything goes back to normal
ClothoBuer
S-cry-ed is an underrated title in my books that was great fun to watch.

It doesnt do any tropes or archetypes at all! Thats why I got sick of Shonen. Its really good with the right amount of ridiculous.
memesntrash
It DOES do the whole “characters have an entire soliloquy while moving very fast towards something with action lines around their face”thing
lizardbones
Really, it does all the tropes and archetypes, but it invented them so they're way more subtle

Idk dude. I compare Naruto and DBZ with Jojo and jojo does nothing similar besides the power creep. Just barely though.

@aleister94 FLCL is fooly cooly. FooLy CooLy. I don't know anyone who calls it that, though lol. it's usually FLCL.

it's a reference. They question in the show "what's fooly cooly?" and give a weird explanation. Either FLCL or Fooly Cooly is ok

Yes, I think I enjoyed the second season more than the first one. My favorite episode is the the about the boy who would wait for lightning

I always enjoyed episodes with him interacting with Tanyuu. But I think the girl who had fallen down the well is one of my favorites S2 Ep16

FMA:B is one of my favourites. And Death Note!
Midgarmerc
Well I'll just put my synopsis here: FMA is about the Elric brothers Alphonse and Edward. 2 alchemists who after committing a taboo lose 1/?
Midgarmerc
their bodies to a botched reincarnation ritual. They then join the military police and go on a grand adventure to find the Philosopher's 2/3
Midgarmerc
Stone, a fabled item said to enhance alchemy and maybe fix their bodies.
Midgarmerc
btw FMA Brotherhood is the same plot as FMA but partway through they branch off severely because the anime got ahead of the manga. 1/2
Dyslexicbirch
Fma brotherhood followers the manga and is 100 times better than fma
Midgarmerc
Brotherhood is the author's intended 2nd half while FMA original is stuff they had to make up (still good though) 2/2

You can't forget something you haven't watched
janerowdy
In that case, you should check it out. I'm not a big fan of anime, but I like Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Ghost in the Shell, and Planetes.
Zifnab
then you totally should :p Planetes is great, though I would not classify it as Action/Adventure
Zifnab
I would just suggest the Brotherood version though :p also warning on Gurren Lagan second season as there's a complete change in tone
BrutalAnalSeepage
It's a good change
Zifnab
yeah but a pretty brutal and sudden one.
ViolentVibrator
I like brotherhood better for character development but the first one has the better villain and a little darker. Ed's not as clueless
Z0op
The villain (and plot surrounding it) was exactly thing i hated about the first FMA, felt so weak and anticlimatic to me, fma:b ftw!
ViolentVibrator
To me brotherhood was standard take over everything. The original was a villain with a bit more depth. Protecting humanity from the stone.
ViolentVibrator
But to each their own. Brotherhood is more complete as an anime.
candystud
You forgot hunter x hunter i think. And sorry but i don't know why i can't see anime with mecha droid or robot..

You should try Eureka seven anyway, I really disliked gundam/mecha outside of the games, but that one gets a pass. + The series might go on.

If you love CBebop you'd love Trigun, give it a while to get SERIOUS cause it starts off rather comical, but shines most when it's dramatic

Trigun is 24 bucks on Amazon. Well worth the watch. A gunslinger who won't kill anyone but it's also the best shot in the world. Westernish

It was in netflix for a while, not sure about that anymore

TRIGUN! NOW!
R2DeepThroat94
Yea there are alot of pretty stunning anime films out there. Trigun is pretty cool, somewhat like bebop with the western influence
TheGuyInTheCorn
Trigun is like a combination of bebop, one punch man, and samurai champloo. At least that's how I see it. It's one of my favorites a
TheGuyInTheCorn
And was going to point out how I never see it on any of these best anime lists

Trigun is a bit slow in the beginning but it kicks off after episode 13 and will turn into one of your favorites

You also forgot Neon Genesis: Evangelion, too. Fuck the Toonami bullshit, you can go deeper.
Midgarmerc
"you can go deeper" *suggests the most surface level mecha show ever made* :P

If you like mecha animes but don't want mechas, watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

"Surface" level would be Macross or Gundam. Calling Eva "surface level" is showing your ass, OP. I'm talking OG Eva, too... VHS Eva.
Midgarmerc
it's not a different show on VHS... Evangelion is incredibly mainstream especially in Japan.
quixotegut
Far less mainstream than about half of your list. And popularity doesn't make it surface level. It's recent incarnations do. OG VHS (1/2)
