Elfen Lied
(Anime)
add
This anime is not suitable for sensitive people, as it contains nudity and extreme gore. Taking this very important factor aside, the story is unexpected, mysterious, entertaining, emotional and overwhelmingly beautiful to the point one might consider this one of the best animes ever made. Initially focusing on Lucy (Niu) and Kouta, it slowly develops more and more onto other points of view; making it a complete masterpiece. The characters are well-rounded, the art style is classic and the animation terribly smooth (especially during the visceral scenes). It's about murder, feelings, family, friendships, relationships, mental health and philosophy. Prepare to gasp and cry a lot:

Death Note
(Anime)
add
Death Note is absolutely incredible and a timeless classic that should be watched at least once by every otaku, and here's why: besides the incredible voice-acting (Mamoru Miyano, I'm looking at you!) and animation, the way the story is scripted and developed is absolutely catchy, making you curious and anxious for the next episode to come. The dynamics between Light and L sincerely makes them a very appealing duo even though they are nemesis through the entire thing, making Amane and her yandere-ish ways nothing but a mere keychain to the protagonist: who is an evil genius. The debate of murder, investigation and plotting is

Black★Rock Shooter (TV)
(Anime)
add
This must seen initially like an action type anime that has cool looking weapons, fights, etcetera and, it really is BUT that is absolutely not it's main concept. Black★Rock Shooter is about middle schoolers who are amidst the chaos of getting to know and understand their own selves better while simultaneously trying to build friendships, endure school and care for private lifes/mental health. It also has subtle yuri/homo undertones to it, which is not really worked upon considering the characters' age range. Still, it's there. All the main characters have alternate selves that are there mainly to represent their most intimate selves in a raw

Black★Rock Shooter (OVA)
(Anime)
add
Black ★ Rock Shooter is (unlike many would initially think) actually about mental health and, has a certain depth to it that is unexpected. The character B★RS herself is actually the representation of the protagonist's (Kuroi Mato) raw inner self, to make the character's feelings better understandable and perhaps even relatable. It represents friendships quite well, as they aren't often only bubbly and nice like oh so many animes portray; there can be awkward moments, words that aren't properly spoken, feelings that get confusing, etc. The art-style is very nice and well put, conveying well the overall atmosphere/vibe of what's going on. I recommend it

This movie is very beautiful and interesting: amazing smooth animation, cool villain (pun intended), pretty art-style, well written characters and a great script that goes beyond just magical girl anime. It's about the beauty of love, friendship and life. We also get to know Luna (Usagi's kitten) better and with more depth, following her through her very first love and how she deals with it emotionally. I recommend this movie because it is suitable for people of all ages, otakus or not! Bonus points for Luna's love interest being an absolute sweetheart: curious and kind. If you take your time to watch it, enjoy!

Sailor Moon in general is and always has been about the power of love and friendship, which is adorable. In this movie, there is a certain undertone of homo attraction from Fiore towards Mamoru: Usagi's boyfriend. As the story goes, it's understood why everything is happening just the way that it is, although you might get a little confused at the very beginning. The animation is smooth, the art-style is beautiful, the characters are mostly very distinct from each other and the Sailor team completes each other's strengths an weaknesses well. I recommend this and think you'd definetely enjoy it if you're into shoujo.

Amnesia is a rather popular one or, at least it was back in the day (which surprises me a lot). It's one of those titles almost everyone has heard about but, that really doesn't make it good. Based off of an otome game, the art-style is very pretty but the protagonist has weak personality traits to seem more relatable to it's viewers who seek self-insertion. That makes it absolutely terrible to watch because the heroine ignores red-flags throughout the ENTIRE thing! She doesn't even have a name of her own, for God's sake... overall, only put your time on it if you're bored.
