    I tried watching a few Ghibli movies, but given I didnt grow up with it and in my mid 20's it was hard. Mononoke is my favourite tho

    Sub is ususally the way to go for me but there are few exceptions where the dub is better/equally as good. Yu Yu Hakusho for example has a pretty dry OV while the (english) dub is much more funnier and lively. Like @Winter mentioned, Ghost Stories has a superior english dub. But only because it didn't do well in Japan, and the japanese studio told the US one that they can do what they want with it. The outcome is a hilariously dark and obscene comedy that hasn't anything to do with the original story lmao. Yugioh is also way better dubbed because it's not taking itslef very serious compared to the OV. I'll doubt that you want to watch that though. So yeah, there are a few decent dubs but most of the time they are absolutely terrible and I would go straight for sub. Glad you enjoy 91 days!

    Samurai Champloo one of the GOATS, love the mixture of hip-hop with Edo-period Japan.

    Again, I must say Titans is a series that is well followed by people who are not even into Anime like that. I am not a huge geek neither but d---, if you appreciate the writing in fiction, then this show is for you. It is turning out to be one of the best things (anime/real life) I ever watched.

    Yup once you get going you can blaze thru it, it's mostly just making the decision to commit because there's so many options lol
    I love going into media knowing literally nothing about them so you have no preconceived notions so I'm def down for that, I just added the second two to my prime/netflix. The other one I'll have to download. Thanks!

    Stuff I personally recommend:

    School-Live!
    Madoka Magica
    Happy Sugar Life

    You might be put off at the beginning of these but do NOT be fooled. They are more than just cutesy shows. I recommend going into them without reading the synopsis and you will be blown away. Give them a chance

    Jojo is also worth a mention, the story is full of plot holes but the creativity is off the roof, specially design-wise.

    I love & loathe the fact that Guts theme is a meme rn, hope it convinces some to pick it up at the very least.
