What shows from my planning list should I prioritize watching? Are there any shows not on my planning list that you recommend?
SoL + Comedy
anilist.co/anime/5680
I don't like sports nor know about karuta, but this one hooked me 'til the end:
anilist.co/anime/10800
yes:
anilist.co/anime/1
If you are a big videogame fan (cough mostly Monster Hunter), then:
anilist.co/anime/99578
Imo the stories are really good and I love the supernatural (yet human) theme on them:
anilist.co/anime/5081
I'm the biggest Machikado Mazoku stan you can find on AL, so OFC you have to watch:
anilist.co/anime/107490
And also if you end up liking Bakemonogatari, here are some shows that I think has a similar theme or has the mystery genre (not in your list):
anilist.co/anime/10721
anilist.co/anime/387
Sonny Boy
anilist.co/anime/21803-/
The last one is written by the same author of Bakemonogatari, and Sonny Boy is imo the closest to Monogatari series out of these 4. Hope you enjoy the recs!
SteinsGate
(must-watch for everyone)
FateZero
(preferably if you have watched or read Fate/stay night but not necessary)
Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch
(great show when you just want to have a fun time watching anime)
Hi fellow garupan fan! Thought I'd vouch for some of my favs c:
Enjoyed the core themes
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho
Interesting characters and quotes
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru
S1 is ok, but I really enjoyed the direction they took with S2
Uma Musume Pretty Derby Season 2
Gintama. 100% This show absolutely excels at parodying everything and making me laugh every time. One advice I have is to not binge it. Its better to enjoy it slowly.
Gintama
