I’ve liked Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassination Classroom. Cool with any genre you guys have to recommend, since I enjoyed stuff like Zombieland Saga too.

    Patlabor, specifically “Patlabor ON TELEVISION” and “Patlabor New Files” (sometimes called New OVA) are takes place in a very comfy near-future environment and is about a group of policemembers who are under the division for dealing with any mech incidents, meaning giant robot fights will happen in a very down-to-earth setting

    I also recommend the movies if you enjoy the GITS movie as it’s the same director and he likes exploring a various amount of social commentary, from criticism of institutional inefficiency to existential reflections, (just dont watch the 3rd movie, it has nothing to do with anyone who made the original Patlabor)

    There’s also the original Patlabor OVA, but I personally didn’t enjoy that nearly as much as the tv anime, and some of the characters act a little different, so it might be jarring if you watch that before the tv anime despite it being chronologically made first

      Mechs fights got me sold on it. When it comes do the movies do you recommend watching the anime show first and then the 2 movies(ignoring the 3rd)?

        I would say watching the things made before the movie gives you a better grasp of who the characters are and feel more attached to what’s going on, though the movies are very different from the OVA and tv show in terms of vibe, the characters act a lot more like how you would expect having watched the tv show. And I should also warn, the movies have very minimal mech fighting!
