Yeah I've read the manga pretty much exclusively and it's just your standard battle shonen at the core.
The protagonist even has a super special move that was sealed away because it can harm the user, so she has to perfect it in order to make it relatively safe but also eventually make it hers compared to the original owner's variant. And what is this special move?
Any anime thread/forum always has the absolute WORST taste about half of the time. I see people list of recommendations to people and just shake my head.
It is a really good anime set in a modern society that isn't focused on highschool. Great sense of humor I think.
It's also incredible in drawing out "oh no!, Oh jeeze!" at the end of every episode. Good drama but not very comfy!

People generally have decent enough taste around here. Not always, but usually. And everyone has some trash show that they really like, but they usually acknowledge when that’s the case. Usually.
I see I was already beaten to it, but yeah my most recent show to recommend would definitely be Odd Taxi. It's a mostly tightly scripted, focused crime story that knows exactly what it wants to be, the rare anime that doesn't care about selling figurines or waifus or anything.
Not really that recent, but definitely a standout that doesn't get nearly enough general appreciation is Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, which starts a bit slow but is a smart, psychological story about a prickly, difficult old entertainer and the tragedy of his life, and also subtly explores a lot of stuff about like early Showa gender and sexual expression.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

Echoing this is as well. This is about as close to a Quentin Tarantino Crime film just minus the excessive sudden violence and feet fetish. Absolutely incredible character writing and plot development that weaves everything so tightly together it's incredible.

There's something neat about shows when they reach a certain level of fucked up. Not like the misogynist or slave harem fantasy fucked up. That's pretty pedestrian as far as anime goes. Things more like Wonder Egg or Back Arrow that went completely off the rails and raise meta questions about everybody and everything involved with them.
Like Taboo Tattoo is a terrible show, but everything about it is fascinating to me. JC Staff clearly though it would be the next Index and put a ton of money into its animation and action scenes, but it's clear that the writer at some point decided "BORED NOW" and it launches into an extended flashback arc only tangentially related to anything at all before returning to the present with a timeskip where we're all now at the Northern Crater fighting over Jenova for some reason before ending in no way whatsover. What the fuck happened with the production of this show? Multiple people clearly put a lot of effort into the creation of something that is plainly a disaster on all fronts, and THIS is what they ended up with? How? Why?

whats the beginning of it called, like the name for the first season?
legend of the galactic heroes is the name of the whole main series, but there's two short-ish movies you're supposed to start with:
my conquest is the sea of stars, a prequel movie that preceded the series, and
overture to a new war, which was made while the OVA was still in progress and went back to retell the first couple episodes
i'd recommend just watching these movies and then starting with episode 1 of the OVA anyway
there's also some later OVAs, a movie based on a manga spinoff, and the recent anime remake, but i haven't seen any of em and they don't seem strictly necessary

so the two movies, the 110 episode anime.. and where does the movie "golden wings" fit in?

golden wings is the aforementioned manga spinoff movie

"Cagliostro and Prelati formerly had male bodies, but after they embraced the wisdom and ideals of Saint-Germain, she granted them the perfect body."
Watching this with my friend, when that character's backstory was explained, she just shouted out,
thank you! I've been meaning to check this out for a while now, it seemed really interesting
its fucking radical. it's like anti-anime almost if that makes any sense
I usually describe LotGH as, "Its the anime Frasier & Niles Crane would watch."
I feel like they wouldn't take anything fantasy or sci fi seriously, although it's been a while since I've actually watched an episode.
I would think more of things like...Monster, Perfect Blue...but those are probably still not dry enough. Maybe something more straight historical like Grave of the Fireflies.
