Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan.

Anime; the one thing that gets us closer to each other and brings us together.

I just signed up for a two month free trial to Crunchy Roll and am a little overwhelmed by my options. Haven't watched much anime in my life (Dragon Ball, Akira, Death Note, One Punch) maybe a couple others.

First thing I watched was Chainsaw Man and really loved the vibe and main character of Denji. Then I watched like 5min of Attack On Titan and just thought "this show is going to be a drag isn't it" and stopped watching lol.

If anyone can suggest any Anime that's not to melodramatic or take itself to seriously. My favorite genre trends to be Dark/Black Comedies. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

If you like Chainsaw Man, you might like Jujutsu Kaisen, Dandadan, Demon Slayer, or Tokyo Ghoul. Maybe Monster or Deadman Wonderland would fit in your tastes as well.

If you're looking for older anime like Akira, take a look at Ghost in the Shell, City Hunter, or Cowboy Bebop.

Otherwise, check out the top lists on sites like MAL and just test out episodes of the ones on Crunchyroll until you find some you like.
