I've collected almost all Ghibli films and love to watch them with the family!
My friend recently told me about Vinland Saga
Haven't seen these mentioned yet:
- Terror In Resonance
This is one of the newer shows made by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo). Follows the crew of a small terrorist organization as they implement their various plots - lots of intrigue that makes you want to keep watching.
- Megalobox
Follows a boxer's journey in a semi-dystopian future. Very mature and themes of adulthood, especially season 2. And I mean real life mature, not gore and titties. I've never watched an anime that I found so relatable as an adult human being. Music is also extremely top tier and I'm personally a huge fan of it's animation style.

Bubblegum Crisis The Guyver
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

Another, The Devil is a Part timer, Noragami, and Food Wars
- Ghost in the Shell Season 1 and 2
- Macross Plus mini series
- Macross Frontier
- Evangelion
If you mentioned Ghost in the Shell then I must mention the two movies (original and Innocence). They're very important because they're both one-off's made by iconic directors and graphical artists, with their own style, distinct from the manga and the series. They're both amazing works of art, the soundtrack, the art, the plot, the cultural references, everything is top notch.

Cowboy Bebop
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.
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!
