I'm gonna just dump a bunch of stuff here because I just feel like rambling today =ω=
Kamen Rider
This whole series is just the pinnacle of cool. The choreography is very good, better than what you'd find in most movies today, the costumes are really well designed (apart from looking kinda cheesy, especially for the monster designs) and some series touch on deep topics. I highly recommend this series if you can brush off very poor CGI. It's worth watching for the Henshins and finishers alone. My first rider series is Black but my favorite is Ryuki. Oh and I can't end this section without talking about the music, it's awesome. You would not expect the ost of a kids show to go so hard but it does. My favorites are the orignal Kamen Rider theme, V3's Theme, Black's Theme, Kuuga's Theme, Alive a Life (Ryuki), Revolution (Ryuki), Justifaiz (Faiz), People with no name (Faiz), Kakusei (Blade), Climax Jump (DenO), WBXtreme (W), Anything Goes (OOOs), Tighten Up (OOOs), Power to Tearer (OOOs), Switch On (Fourze), Life is a Showtime (Wizard), Be the One (Build). Even if you don't watch the shows, at least give these songs a listen.
Mazinger Z
You know Hisoutensoku right? I'm pretty sure that guy is based of Mazinger Z. This show is also very cool. The robot design is good, the special moves are over the top and flashy and the villian designs are really really cool. Especially Garada K7, Doublas M2, Jeiser J1 and Damdam L2, those are my favorite ones. The music is also very very good, too bad the singer of the original theme from the 70s passed away due to lung cancer. RIP Ichiro Mizuki, you'll be missed. Anyways, Mazinger Z is my 2nd favorite super robot anime. It would be my first if it wasn't for...
Getter Robo
This is my all time favorite super robot franchise. Mazinger Z may have gotten me into the genre, but Getter Robo solidified my love for it. The design of Getter Robo itself doesn't look like it's supposed to be a beacon of hope. To me, Getter Robo isn't supposed to look heroic, its supposed to look like a harbinger of death to the enemies and by hell does it achieve that. Oh and the pilots of this robot, Ryoma Nagare, Hayato Jin and Musashi Tomoe (Or Benkei pick your poison). These guys are the most insane people I've ever had the pleasure of reading/watching, well besides Musashi/Benkei, they're pretty chill. If you want to get into the series (which I highly recommend you do) I suggest reading the manga first. The original Getter Robo manga is pretty short and so is the sequel Getter Robo G. They're more episodic with a kind of monster of the week format, but both of them do have overarching plots, character arcs and have a damn good finale. The other manga like Getter Robo Go, Shin and onwards are also a good read and I recommend. If you're more of an anime person though, you can skip the original Getter Robo that aired as well as G. Where the real meat is at is Getter Robo Armagedon, an OVA. You can watch it free on Youtube. Oh and also, RIP series creator Ken Ishikawa :c.
Vocaloid and Utaloid
The only words I need to say is Hatsune Miku and you guys will understand what I'm talking about. There's not much to say about this since the entire Vocaloid/Utaloid scene is extremely varied and I can't pinpoint a specific thing on why I like the music except that it's good. I guess my favorite out of all the hundreds of singers out there is Kasane Teto.
Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou, Lucky Star and Bocchi the Rock
I grouped these all together because they are all slice of life. Not much I can or want to say here to. I'll just rank them based on how insane their jokes get from tame to shit hits the fan. Lucky Star, Azumanga, Nichijou then Bocchi. Watch these, it is not a request.
I just realized this how long this post is getting so I'll do a quickfire round
