    I’m with you, there’s some anime that I’ve enjoyed but I really don’t need a 500 plus episode show about people fighting and shit. Just give me some nice films of anything.

      I’m an early 90s kid so I love Akira, ghost in the shell, and a lot of the bloody techno punk anime. Recently I’ve been watching random ones with my wife but ones that don’t look conventional, we really liked My Happy marriage on Netflix, and of course Castlevania

        There’s a new one called Captain Laserhawk that has an anime style but is all English, similar to Castlevania. I believe it’s also the same showrunner as Castlevania.

      Those are almost always shonen anime, i.e targeted at teen/young adult boys, a genre (demographic) almost defined by action and fight scenes. Not that seinen doesn’t also have a lot of series with heavy emphasis on fighting, but at least it’s rarely the entire point, and when it is, the point is usually to be a gorefest.

      Check out Attack on Titan, not too long and everything happens for a reason, so the plot is quite well worked, the action, the soundtracks and the characters too.
