What anime, manga and related games do y'all keen on?

I watch Naruto, Seven Deadly Sins, Dinosaur King, Dragon Ball, Bleach and Lucky Star. (and reading the related manga)

We watch some anime, yeah.

Few I would recommend: One Piece, Eureka 7, Jujutsu Kaisen, Dr Stone, Parasyte

Bleach was a cool series.

Well, not a big fan of One Piece, but I respect your opinion.

No problem, not everyone's going to like the same stuff (would be a boring world if we did). DragonBall didn't do it for me either, to be fair.

I play Genshin Impact, and wish they'd make more animated episodes of Dragon Ball Super. Those are my big anime-related things these days, though I'm re-starting my Japanese studies, hopefully a bit more earnestly than before, and maybe I'll branch out into manga to practice and maintain my reading skills.

Although, somehow I consistently find time to rewatch various Ghost in the Shell-related material. I have a hankering to go back and rewatch Gasaraki, as well. I'd like to find new mecha-based material, but I've really lost the appeal for Gundam that I had as a youth. I want my mecha to be heavy, metal, and industrial, and to me the mecha designs in Gundam have gotten to where they all look like they're impractical as anything but plastic toys.

I haven't watched anything like that in a very long time, mid 90's, so over 25 years now. lol

However, back in the 80's one show hooked me, and I had no idea what "anime" was at the time. It was called Robotech, of course, I later found it it was originally Macross in Japan. I really enjoyed that series. I really liked the theme music, such a great score, and the fact the series was later remastered. When it originally aired, it was my favorite show on television.

Later I enjoyed the Guyver series, I even liked the live action film, all be it a corny film.

If you haven't noticed, the nickname I use to this day is from a manga based video game that I loved when it came out back in the late 80's. The Strider series across all platforms are some of my favorite all time games.

Not sure if you can count shows like Voltron, since it was really an adaptation from Japanese series, but I still really enjoyed it back then.

However, I have not really seen anything past the mid 90's.

I would recommend Kantai Collection.

Just now remebered another good classic anime: Golden Boy. By the way first episode is about programming and it even mentions BASIC language. )
