It's really good. Same studio that made Cowboy Bebop, and that's where the similarities end.

same creative team, not same studio. everyone forgets Cowboy Bebop was made by Sunrise who is otherwise only known for Gundam shows.

Outside of Frieren, I don't think I have watched an Anime made in the last 10 years; so no idea what all those are about. For the classics like Bebop, which had wide appeal and should still hold up animation wise, here are a couple more:
- Ghost in the Shell (movie and TV show) - Cyberpunk that has mature themes; I would rank it second or third after Bebop, out of the limited Anime I've seen
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - A late 19th (or early 20th) century world with magic. While the main protags are teenagers, it should still hold up to an older viewer, although I haven't seen it since around the time it was released.

, There’s always a few excellent anime every season. Was Dandadan mentioned? It’s a top tier choice. Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and Jujetsu Kaisen are all top tier. It mainly depends on what you like and you should experiment. Lots of things I’ve liked that others suggested and I’d never have watched without the suggestion. Like Spice and Wolf, and Don’t toy with me, Miss Nagatora. I also like a few traditional Iseksi every season even with them being too overused. There’s always good anime to watch. I really like Bungo Stray Dogs and saved them for dry spells. I need a new backup since I’m caught up now. Probably Rurouni Kenshin remake. Tons of good stuff.- 3

It's almost time.
This is the website that provides the list of things on case you want to browse further.
I just noticed a new season of dragon maid. That's a peaceful enough show.

3 new shows have come out on Crunchy so far.
Takopii no Genzai (Takopi's Original Sin) - Magic "cute" alien octopus that can talk. Before the show starts, it gave a warning that it was about suicide and coming to terms with things. I made it about 5 minutes. This show is terrible. I can only assume the MC offs herself because she's miserable about everything. Pass.
Lord of Mysteries - Chinese. At least the intro credits & opening sound track. I hate listening to Chinese. Lots of blood in this. Nice animation. It's computer, and it looks terific. More Chinese dialogue though. It looks like Crunchyroll is going to release a Japanese dub of the show, but they haven't yet. I'll hold off on watching until it's out. I really don't like listening to Chinese. Such a shit language.
Koujo Denka no Kateikyoushi (Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter) - Opening scene appears "slice of life", but then it mentions magic. So that isn't the case. Animation is high quality. Story seems peaceful enough. I don't dislike it, but not sure if I will stick with it.

oh yeah so yesterday i finally finished Attack on Titan. yes, i never finished the show. i had the two long episodes/movie left and finally watched it. can someone explain to me like i'm 12 what the ending was? maybe it's because it had been like 4 yrs since season "4" ended but i was really lost with regards to everything with Eren and Armin.

It's actually pretty spot on. Eren attempts to destroy the world so that Mikasa and Armin will be forced to act and take him out, because he has no hope for anything changing. They do, he dies, and then it's over. The intraweb post credits scene of the damaged kid heading to the tree just shows that the cycle will repeat because humanity really likes destroying itself or something.
I'm sure there's something deeper; I actually didn't like Attack on Titan after it became a political drama vs. a "fucking giant naked humans are eating people" kind of thing. Not that it isn't good, I just wasn't in the mood for it.

So it really was exactly how it seemed then. Thought maybe there was more to it I missed since I hadn't watched in so long. Oh well, was still a better show than 99% of crap out there and at least it got to play out in its entirety.

Really? I tried, but couldn't even get into it.
Girl lives in a small village. They have no idea what exists outside of their continent, because every time they send a ship out to explore, it never returns. So they assume there are 4 magic beast leaders that guard the 4 compass directions and kill whoever passes. Some legend says someone is going to eventually kill the 4 beasts. so the continent can explore the rest of the world. I don't like this show either, so I shut it off after 10 minutes.
The only new show that I've enjoyed so far is Koujo Denka no Kateikyoushi (Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter). And I didn't even love it, just liked it enough to try another episode.
That said, Rent-a-Girlfriend continues to be exactly what I want it to be. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch Vending Machine tomorrow, but I've shut almost everything else off early.
