Anime recommendations?

[DOLCE MACHAON]

Air Gear. But the manga is definitively better than the anime for the unique reason it continues the adventure! It's my favorite manga for years now, I think my town will be inspired by this and... why not give it a try?
I loved Letter Bee, Kuro****suji as both animes and mangas as well.
I used to watch a lot of Hetalia younger. Very funny!

I'll talk about movies now. The Boy and the Beast, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are stunning! The first one in my list is my favorite movie ever. I'm a true fan for years!

I'd reccomend some less known Ghibli movies like Whisper of the Heart and The Cat Returns.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet: Orange.

If you like emotional, heart-wrenching things then you’ll love this one! But bring tissues for sure

I second this recommendation!

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Kyoukai no Kanata (beyond the boundary)
Symphogear
Fruits Basket <3 (the remake is so nice)
Angel Beats (already mentioned, but it's really good)
I really like Shakugan no Shana but it was one of the first animes I watched so it might not be as good as I remember
Your Name (movie)
Mushi-shi (very calming)
Blood+ (horror, but lovely)

There's a lot of anime to recommend, but here's a few I think you might enjoy :3

The only anime I would really recommend would be Studio Ghibli, which, while it is Japanese animation, it doesn't really fit under the other qualifiers that makes anime 'anime'. The tropes, the lack of frames, the sloppy repetition of shots. None of that really exists in Ghibli films, which is why they're so respectable and widely known. They're good on their own, outside of labels like anime.
