I forgot all about that anime, i'll have to rewatch it at some point.

Looking for some new ones to watch with my boyfriend. :)

have you seen "ranking of kings" ?
 
Action:
-Gurren Lagann
-Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood --- The original series is good too, but I prefer Brotherhood and I think overall it is the more preferred series.
-One Punch Man
-Deadman Wonderland
-Jujutsu Kaisen
-Dragon Ball --- I know, some of the animes I'm naming are super well known, especially DB & DBZ, but I just love the original series.
-Black Cat
-Code Geass

Drama/Thriller:
-Steins;Gate
-Monster --- This one could fall under psychological horror, but it's really damn good. One of the few that I still think about to this day. Not easy to find English dubbed, but the original Japanese and a French dub is on Netflix.
-Future Diary
-Danganronpa --- I enjoyed it a lot, but that could be because I also played the games. There's three seasons and the timeline is pretty confusing, especially because there isn't an anime season for the second game. If you do watch it, for Danganronpa 3 you want to alternate episodes between the two seasons, it makes a lot more sense that way. I know that sounds kinda weird, but I'd recommend googling the watch order if you do watch it. It's well worth it, haha.
-Death Note
-Angels of Death
-Perfect Blue --- It's a movie, not a series, but it's very good.
-Psycho-Pass

Horror:
-Junji Ito Collection & Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of The Macrabre ---- The episodes are sorta hit or miss, much like the source material. But the good episodes are really good.
-Shiki
-Higurashi/When They Cry ---- I prefer the original series, but it's kinda hard to find online, the newer series is good, though. If you can find the original series, I would definitely say give it a watch. It gives a good bit of context to the remake.
-Another
-Tokyo Ghoul
-Elfen Lied
-School Days ---- This one could also fall under drama, since it doesn't have more of the "horror" elements until later on. However, it gets very crazy towards the end. It has some pretty shocking material. I don't want to spoil anything, but if you're sensitive to certain topics, I'd recommend looking online for trigger warnings.
-Parasyte: The Maxim
-Narutaru/Shadow Star --- This is another one where you might want to look up the trigger warnings.
-Corpse Party ---- I'll be honest, I haven't watched the anime, but I've played pretty much every game in the series. Yet another one with some very sensitive/triggering topics.
-Xxxholic

Comedy & Romance & Slice of Life:
-Shimoneta: A Boring World Where The Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist
-Ouran High Host Club
-School Rumble
-Lucky Star
-Gravitation --- This one is yaoi (guyxguy), but it was one of my favorites when I was younger, haha.
-Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt



There's probably a lot more that I've watched and am forgetting right now, but hopefully you'll be able to find something out of this list!

I actually had a lot of fun making this, haha.
 
The Boy and the Heron
 
The Boy and the Heron
It was one of my favorites of Miyazaki's work. But this isn't the first time I've heard this specific criticism and I absolutely understand it. There are massive portions of the story that play out almost entirely in subtext, and the more I imagined the internal life of the characters the more I understood the story.

Take the relationship that Mahito has with his father. The absolute disconnect between what Mahito is feeling and the kind of brusque, energetic optimism displayed by his father after his wife dies horribly. It basically fuels the entirely of the conflict for the entire movie, because it leaves Mahito without a meaningful way to deal with his own grief. And yet: it is not directly explored by the movie at all. Every evolution that Mahito makes for himself happens largely away from the family and community that he actually needs to reconcile himself with. And the fruit of that evolution is just the super brief scene at the end that demonstrates growth and processing of grief.

Or that he meets his mother as a child, presented even as a woman in flames (!!!) and not really reacting at all. Somehow they both know who each other is but a part of Mahito knows that this woman, even if his mother's spirit, is from a time before he existed. She is not his "mother" because she's never experienced a life with him in it. And rather than getting caught on this, Mahito seems to understand that he needs to save his sexy stepmother, who still has a life in the other world and has been dedicated to him in his mother's absence. He meets Kiriko as a young woman and takes it immediately in stride. Every part of this netherworld makes sense to Mahito because its insane dysfunction/brutality is as familiar to him as what he found in his daily life.

I found a lot of corollaries between it and Pan's Labyrinth. And it rewards chewing, because it is incredibly dense and very light on explanation of these incredibly chaotic events.
