Fucking DEADWOOD.

I can't get anybody in my life to watch it and it is literally in the running for best show of all-time.

This thread is case-in-point!

One of my favorite short scenes.

Oh man so many. Most of which others are already mentioning. And I'm sure I'm forgetting many that have been constants througj the years. But these stand out.

Anime: Your Lie in April, Mushi-Shi, Scavenger's Reign, Violet Evergarden, One Punch Man

Anime but it's more of my selfish mention than a masterpiece: Tomo-chan is a Girl, The Wrong Way to use Healing Magic (English dub is really well done and I can be a sub snob most of the time), Bartender: Glass of God, Mashle:Magic and Muscles, Goblinslayer

Live Action:The Expanse, Midnight Diner, Midnight Diner:Tokyo Stories, The Goes Wrong Show, Blood Machines, How It's Made (I know, not likely what is being asked for but I thoroughly enjoy the show)

I have a really hard time getting into Live Action shows because too many of them either drag on, or they are just too predictable or forumlaic, or too samey, or it's all about people being horrible to each other. And there is also a severe lack of laid back story telling or unique story options. Hollywood is berift of interest for me 99% of thr time.

I can stop recommending Bad Sisters, but I won't. It's fantastic, through and through.

@Shkshkshk @asklemmy Foyle's War, Line of Duty, Shetland, The Brokenwood Mysteries, and now Deadloch

I have a genre for sure, lol

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - A Netflix K-drama about an autistic savant lawyer. It's charming, funny, and has a really beautiful story overall.

Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - a cute and fun anime about Maple, who doesn't want to get hurt in a VR MMO so she maxes her defense and becomes a hero.

I like light-hearted shows, so I'll be checking out a few of the ones in this thread 🙂

Monogatari series. I must have watched that entire series like a dozen times already. I absolutely love the VA's performance. Finally reading through the Light Novels now.

Hajime No Ippo. Manga is still a blast and the anime was incredible too.

I had a good time with Blue Lock as well.

You’re getting a recency bias, but I watched Akudama Drive about a month ago and really loved it.

have you heard about Ajin?

Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/

Terminator Zero was great.

Station Eleven is the best tv show ever made.

I slept on Supernatural for a long time and now I can't stop, I'm on like season 13 and it still keeps getting better

Lately Slow Horses on apple+

Very good UK agent/crime show.

For anime, Ghost in the Shell. My favorite is the Stand Alone Complex series.

For TV show, Fringe. It's a sci-fi show taking place in the modern world.

For movie, Red Lights. It's about a group that disproves paranormal/super natural events. I recommend it because it's not well known.

For shows: My name is Earl was a very funny one that never got a proper ending before being cancelled.

For anime: Serial Experiments Lain.

Tower of God is my absolute favorite anime and comic right now. Can't recommend it enough. Deeply interesting systems, amazing supporting cast, unique twists on old tropes.

Dai-guard, a somewhat obscure mecha anime. It's a comedy about what would realistically happen if you had a giant mecha fighting monsters from another dimension: bureaucracy, lawsuits, government interference, and physics.

Macross 7 sounds incredibly stupid if you try and summarize it, but it's legitimately one of the best shows there is in my opinion.

Summary: Aliens attack a human colony fleet, and they fight back with a rock band flying into battle to sing at the aliens.
