    Two sources for you: The Ultimate Anime Flowchart and r/anime's Anime Recommendation Chart v. 6.0. Personal recommendations for romance/drama: Your Lie in April, Toradora, Excaflowne, AnoHana, Kimi no Todoke, and Nodame Cantable. Since you are a member of a Harry Potter forum, I'd also strongly recommend you check out Little Witch Academia, which is basically (as both charts correctly state) Anime Hogwarts.

    In my goal of consuming more anime, I'm going to start watching two shows at a time (one episode a day, everyday). However, my list is long, and I'm not sure where to start. So, DLP weebs, which two of these shows should I start watching right now to get into the swing of things? 1. Yuri on Ice 2. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress 3. Re:Zero 4. Show Genroku Rakugo Shinji 5. Thunderbolt Fantasy 6. Mob Psycho 100

    Little Witch Academia and Little Witch Academia: Enchanted Parade are two amazingly animated short films done by Studio Trigger that can best be described in two words: Anime Hogwarts. The two films are available on Netflix, at least in the USA. A tv series has been announced and is currently in production.

    If you want a true visual treat, you should move Akira to the top of your list. The story is very simple and straightforward, but it is lovingly animated. To steal a phrase, it was shot on the ones-every frame was drawn, start to finish. The attention to detail in Akira is insane, and is why it is so well remembered. Macross: Do You Remember Love is another great example of a beautifully animated older production that should be on your list for the visuals alone. As for recent stuff,...

    I don't think that happens, but there is a sequence where a fantasy army is slaughtered by attack helicopters to the sound of Ride of the Valkyries. The manga has other odd sequences like that. It makes for an entertainingly bad read.

    Cross Game is my personal favorite show. It's the only one where I can watch a random episode and then sit down to finish out the rest of the entire series -- this literally happened to me yesterday! The show can at times be slow, but it has fifty episodes to tell its story so it gets leeway. The story itself is one that has brought me to the edge of my seat in anticipation and to tears on numerous occasions, even on multiple viewings. It just has that effect on me. I love Cross Game....

    Good job on actually explaining it. Anno is essentially saying that anime is in a bubble (duh) that wont last for much longer (another duh), and that when the ashes clear there will be a similar but different anime industry (a final duh). He's not saying anything particularly shocking or out there for anyone who actually follows the industry, or just pays attention to the number of shows that are being produced a year (over 200 last I checked).

    Tokyo Ghoul's second season has finished, and both seasons combined have made for an interesting show. It had the harshest breakdown of any character in an anime I've ever seen, absolutely relentless in destroying them before building them back up. It has some strong metaphors and messages about discrimination, tolerance, and how simply living makes someone into a monster without even realizing it. It had its weak moments, points in the show where style won over substance or the substance...

I am determined to (finally) watch this show, but it is the biggest fucking slog. I'm sitting at episode five right now, and the only thing keeping me going forward is a...

    On the subject of anime that are ending, Shirobako is the shit. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I do because of its premise (five cute girls working in the anime industry). I thought that this was going to be another bad K-on rip-off, but with anime instead of music. Boy was I wrong. Shirobako is nominally about the five girls and their respective trials and tribulations within the anime industry, but the show also has a very rich cast of secondary and tertiary characters,...

    I think Psycho Pass would be in your wheelhouse. It's essentially the concept behind Minority Report, but replace precogs with active brain scans. It's writer, Gen Urobuchi, also wrote Madoka, and was the writer for the Fate/Zero light novel. He's fairly well regarded, but I wouldn't recommend any other anime property that has his name attached to it; he tends to come up with the concept, and write maybe an episode or two, and then leave it to other writers who drop the ball (see Gargantia,...

    That's more a testament to Jon's writing ability than the quality of Highschool DxD. I enjoy it. The anime is basically an advertisement for the manga (it ends on the worst cliffhanger possible), but what was animated is probably one of the best arcs from the manga. It has great characters and an intense plot, but, again, the worst cliffhanger. If you're willing to hunt down the manga after watching the show, or are already a fan of the manga and want to watch some of it animated, then...

    Madhouse doesn't have much of a say unless they get the money, which depends on disc sales, which don't always equate to popularity. EDIT: Checked ANN for the sales numbers on the fourth disc, and it sold pretty well. It probably will get a second season sometime in the next year or two. That list is mad depressing; A Turn A Gundam blu-ray exists, and it hasn't even been released in the USA on DVD.

    Actually, you're wrong about that. Evangellion was never considered a giant robot show, or created to be a different kind of robot show. It was, instead, an homage to tokusatsu shows like Ultraman that the members of Gainax were huge fans of - particularly Anno, who had directed a live-action fan-film about Ultraman.
