Looking for recommendations because I'm still chasing that FMA:B high (lemmy.world)

I enjoy some anime more than most other visual media, but I seem to be super picky about what I like and havent figured out what that is well enough to be able to search for new content effectively. Thus, I was hoping to get some recommendations from the community based on what I have enjoyed so far, if possible.

My favorite by far is Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and I have also really loved My Hero Academia, Bebop & Champloo, PsychoPass, S-Cry-Ed, Beserk, Inuyasha, and Bleach (to a certain extent, it has some things that are borderline tolerable but always offset it with more badass shit).

If anyone has anything that comes to mind from this list, I'd love to hear it! Thanks and happy new year

Two that just ended that I thought were exceptional are Frieren and Apothecary Daires. The latter better be anime of the year. I don't think either are considered Shonen, if that matters to you.

Frieren is really chill and explores the little time we have with the people we care about. The first episode tells how an elf spends 10 years with a party to defeat the demon lord. But now they split ways and time moved differently for our elf protagonist since elves live thousands of years.

The second is a masterpiece of a story. A girl raised an apothecary (someone who deals with poisons and medicine) is kidnapped and sold to the palace to take care of the emperor's concubines. She is so intelligent and is a problem solver. I don't want to give more away. I hope more animes have story telling like this in the future.

My favorites in general are Bleach, Yuyu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter (2011) and FMA:B.

Edit: Sorry, I was looking for new communities and I didn't notice this thread is months old.
