Hi anons. I'm looking for anime that are visually impressive and not cheaply made. Aside from the "classics" I can't stand to watch stuff with low production value anymore, I tried to start the last season of Re:Zero yesterday but it was boring and ugly so I stopped.What could you recommend? Yes, I've seen Frieren and Mushoku Tensei. Any genre is fine as long as it looks good but I'd like it to actually be a good anime as well. Pic related

>>1495900Seen it, might rewatch it though, I remember it being nice.At this point I honestly feel like not much quality anime is being made anymore and I should just cycle through the ~50 truly good shows that have been made over the decades
Lain, Haibane Renmei, Paranoia Agent, Tatami Galaxy, The Tale of the Heike, Violet Evergarden. Some of those aren't visually stunning, but their story makes up for it.
>>1495903>The Tale of the HeikeThat's the only one I haven't seen, thanks.
>>1495898These are some the best ever made, you might appreciate them more if you familiarize yourself with the director's life works, the main key animators, the original manga source and filmmaking in general. There are documentaries about the directors and some good youtube videos about the making of most of these anime as well, and is especially interesting to learn about the media that influence them throughout their lives. https://www.youtube.com/@socksenseiKatsuhiro Otomo - Akira, Neo Tokyo, MemoriesHayao Miyazaki - Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess MononokeSatoshi Kon - Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue, PaprikaHideaki Anno - Neon Genesis Evangelion, The End of Evangelion, Rebuild of EvangelionYoshitoshi ABe - Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei, TexhnolyzeMakoto Shinkai - 5 Centimeters Per Second, Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early DaysMamoru Oshii - Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Angel's EggYoshiaki Kawajiri - Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, The AnimatrixHiroyuki Imaishi & Yoh Yoshinari - FLCL, Gurren Lagann, Kill la KillMasaki Yuasa - Ping Pong The Animation, Mind Game, The Tatami GalaxyNishio Ishin - Kizumonogatari Trilogy: Tekketsu-hen , Nekketsu-hen, Reiketsu-hen
>>1495898Made in abyss
>>1495909Those are the big classics I've mostly seen but thanks there's a couple in there I haven't yet checked out.>>1495913S1 was really good but I found S2 lacked the same sense of adventure. Srajo seems fun in the manga though.
Samurai X Ovas and Shigurui
>>1495898If your priority is visual uality Dainana Ouji was pretty good
What I actually liked AND have good visuals (but not just the opening/ending, otherwise the list would be bigger):Ya Boy Kongming!ErasedFullmetal Alchemist (2003)Maoyuu Maou YuushaDelicious in DungeonRestaurant to Another WorldButarebaIshuraThe Executioner and Her Way of LifeWhy Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's MansionEl-HazardEscaflowne (except the faces desu)The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young LadyThe Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up TrashInuyashaRe:CreatorsRurouni KenshinHelckAscendance of a BookwormOwari no SeraphThe Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be ArchenemiesThe Quintessential QuintupletsInuyashikiVivy: Fluorite Eye's SongGargantia on the Verdurous PlanetMobile Suit Gundam WingNeon Genesis EvangelionHeavenly DelusionSaint SeiyaPatlaborTrigun (1998, just because the new one is 3dpg)>filmsAkiraGhost in the ShellVampire Hunter D: BloodlustSpirited AwayYour NameNinja ScrollPaprikaPatema InvertedMetropolis (2001)Also >>1495909 seems to have great taste.
Ryuu no Haisha. 2 episodes only though.
>>1495898Glasslip lmao
>>1495898Start reading manga, a lot of stuff is genuinely good with sharp art and dynamic panels, it just has a meh adaptation.
>>1495898Hyouka has beautiful art and animation, I would say the best Kyoani has ever made, so very high production value. If you liked the art/animation in Sonny Boy, I think there's a high chance you'll like it.It also has a lot of fun animation scenes as illustrations when the characters talk about hypothetical scenarios. The anime is really comfy, it's an adaptation of a (non-light) novel series.
>>1495898Broken Blade and Yamato 2199.
>>1496035Anon you got any fun manga to recommend in the same vein as Gantz or Ajin for example? Something really exciting and fun
>>1495898Nobody's Boy Remi (the 1977 show)You're welcome
