https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-09-11/shadows-house-anime-gets-2nd-season/.177271 Glad this one is getting a continuation. It was definitely one of the more interesting series this year & left a lot of unanswered questions.

Not sure how I neglected to include this one in my earlier post Also, new trailer for Platinum End

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here I had a bit of an anime revival myself about 5 years ago when I first got into streaming, which really expanded the types of anime I was able to explore.

Started my rewatch of the previous Evangelion rebuild films before watching the final one.

Shang Chi & the Legrnd of the Ten Rings in many ways felt more like a martial arts film rather than a superhero one.

What was memorable about Trigun was there was a major shift in tone between the first & second halves of the series once we learned Vash’s backstory. It also had a likeable cast of characters (Vash, Milly, Meryl, Wolfwood). But if memory serves, not everything was resolved by the anime’s ending (not sure if the manga did or not).

As a side note, another scifi/western hybrid called Gun x Sword came out shortly thereafter. Though it’s not as well known & by my recollections would be 7/10.

Yup, though it’s been a long time. Based on my memory I’d probably give it an 8/10. There are actually a number of series I enjoy, but I still consider to be niche.

I tend to be skeptical of the concepts of “essential” anime or ones with universal appeal. Having said that, some I feel come closest would be: Cowboy Bebop Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Death Note I purposely do not list titles like Naruto, Dragonball & One Piece because I find that the sheer length of them are a barrier to people trying to get into anime & they invariably become repetitive.
