    The Great Pretender is about con artists pulling different schemes around the world. The animation and artstyle are beautiful and colorful. 91 Days is an Italian Mafia revenge story. Thought you needed some non fantasy recommendations lol

    Those sound extremely up my alley, I like fantasy stuff but crime drama is prob my favorite genre across most mediums of storytelling.

    Jojo is also worth a mention, the story is full of plot holes but the creativity is off the roof, specially design-wise.

    True but anime episodes are only 20 min long so you run through them pretty fast, unless you watch One Piece or some other long running shonen

    Stuff I personally recommend:

    School-Live!
    Madoka Magica
    Happy Sugar Life

    You might be put off at the beginning of these but do NOT be fooled. They are more than just cutesy shows. I recommend going into them without reading the synopsis and you will be blown away. Give them a chance
