Log Horizon is fantastic
Now I'm a sucker for space westerns, so I gotta hype Trigun. If you liked Fullmetal Alchemist it has a lot to offer you.
Trigun was a gateway anime for me. And Orphen. But Trigun remains one of my favourites. It's not too long, has amazing subtle world building, and such fun characters
Okay... Noted :)
All the series I recommends below are complete. (tells story from start to end)
-
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (There are TV series and movies that both tell similar story but not the same, TV series have darker story)
-
Kill la Kill
-
Blast of Tempest
-
Assassination Classroom
-
Back Arrow (first half of series is meh but it becomes better and better)
-
Mob psycho 100
-
Summer Time Render
Mob Psycho, Serei no Moribito (Guardian of the Spirit) and all Kind of Ghibli movies :)

Another, The Devil is a Part timer, Noragami, and Food Wars
Cowboy Bebop
No one mentioning Neon Genesis Evangelion, itβs only the greatest anime of all time.

If you want some 80s badassery, Hokuto no Ken.
Listen to the opening, "Ai wo Torimodose" and decide if it's to your liking or not.

- Code Geas is similar to death note, i think it's a more satisfying ending than death note.
- My hero academia is great super hero/fighting anime.
- One punch man is a masterful parody of the super hero genre
- seven deadly sins is good, with lots of interesting characters.
- Hetalia axis powers is an amusing take on European history as told by Japan with a comedy style.
Hmm something tells me code geass is looking like a good choice. Thanks for the detailed suggestions!
My favorites are Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, From the New World and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Both have excellent stories.
For what they are:
- Steins;Gate: Watch humans losting in time travels.
- Steins;Gate: AI with time travels...
- From the New World: A world of supermans and weak creatures.
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Horror of Japan culture from old times.
Doot duh doo

I'm a little disappointed that Hajime No Ippo wasn't mentioned. It's from the early 2000s, plays in the late 80s and it's about boxing. The writing and how fleshed out the characters are is unexpectedly good for that kind of setup and it's one of my absolute favorites.
Two great comical animes are golden boy and great teacher onizuka but they have a lot of cliche anime perverted jokes I can see putting off a lot of people especially when they're not deep into anime.
Then there's goblin slayer but you might want to look up the controversy about the first episode before you go blindly into it.
I'll piggyback here to mention Yawara! for another great cross between sports (women's judo) and teenage drama/comedy. They did a great job on the anime but IIRC it only covers part of the manga. It's a great feminine counterpart to Hajime no Ippo.
I heard about it but I think I heard how incomplete the anime is story wise and I didn't want to get upset about that.
Gankutsuou
One of my favorites is Black Rock Shooter. It's a bit wierd around the edges and it's presented as this girly slice of life but it's actually deeper and very cool
