I'm not particularly into anime, I like it just as much as live action shows or other types of animation. Having said that, I feel like watching some and I'm not sure what to pick.

Here's a list of other anime shows I've watched/manga and novels I've read, so you can better judge what to recommend. ( would greatly appreciate the story to be completed, I hate waiting years for closure) :

Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto : both great stories, I've read the mangas and loved them. They wouldn't be a priority to watch because I already read them.

Attack on Titan: started with the anime, it was great, switched to the manga, got extremely disappointed with the story development and its ending. It felt a bit like nonsense for me.

Dragon Ball/Z : probably my favourite, I've rewatched it recently. I don't like GT and Super.

Overlord: I've read good part of the novel and manga. I'm liking it so far

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: please No thanks. Not for me.

Death Note: loved the first arc, not a fan of the ending but no hate for it unlike with AOT.

I also recall Escaflowne and Inuyasha, they were alright but not something I've loved or hated. Cowboy Bebop also in this category, excellent visually and great OST but the story wasn't as gripping.

Other than that... Feel free to suggest any other titles! Extra thanks if you are specific about any versions and why is the show so great.

TIA

I'm not big into Anime, but FMA and Initial D have become my favorites to watch time and time again.

Initial D has this weird underlying pedo sub plot in it. I tried watching it again and it's just off putting.

Ohh yeah that rich guy with the school girl? Huh, I forgot about that. Yikes, I wonder why that was even a part that needed put in the anime. Her story/character is the worst part of Initial D IMO, even without the pedo sub plot.

Initial D is really more about relationships than it is about racing. I think her story is important because some girls do end up in situations like that either willingly or unwillingly. Either way, Initial D shows the complications that come with having a secret unhealthy relationship. It is uncomfortable to watch, but I appreciate that the show takes the situation seriously and not as some running gag joke.
