Anime; the one thing that gets us closer to each other and brings us together.

I just signed up for a two month free trial to Crunchy Roll and am a little overwhelmed by my options. Haven't watched much anime in my life (Dragon Ball, Akira, Death Note, One Punch) maybe a couple others.

First thing I watched was Chainsaw Man and really loved the vibe and main character of Denji. Then I watched like 5min of Attack On Titan and just thought "this show is going to be a drag isn't it" and stopped watching lol.

If anyone can suggest any Anime that's not to melodramatic or take itself to seriously. My favorite genre trends to be Dark/Black Comedies. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

obligatory 'go watch boku no pico'

in all seriousness though, Spice And Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou) (both the OG and remake) is very good, and worth your time. other good ones are Legend Of The Galactic Heroes (Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu), the OG Gundam, "GUNSMITH CATS"" (yes, it is all caps, don't ask why, we don't know lol), "TRIGUN" (another all caps one, its stylistic), along with it's sequel, "TRIGUN STAMPEDE", Kill La Kill, and of course, the ever-classic Uchyuu Senkan Yamato (I think the romanization was " star blazers" or something? I watched the OG JP back in the day, don't remember how it got localized to America) and MACROSS (the western title is "ROBOTECH", if memory serves. don't recall why they went with that title though)

along with it's sequel, "TRIGUN STAMPEDE".

That wasn't a sequel, more like a reboot?

I do agree on Trigun, but only the original run. I'm not all against reboots but TRIGUN STAMPEDE was a let down and the CGI graphics where awful and disturbing assfuck. But that's just a personal taste I heard a lot of people liked it :)
