Do you like fantasy? Check out Frieren: Beyond Journey's End; it's what recently got me to watch anime. It tells a great story with compelling characters, has some awesome action scenes, and keeps all of the things I hate about anime (excessive melodrama and fanservice) to a minimum.

It's just a great show, and not merely a great anime.

Another fantastic fantasy being produced right now is Dungeon Meshi aka Delicious in Dungeon.

15 episode are out on Netflix.

It's a bit more on the comedic side than Frieren, but also keeps the weirdness typical in a lot of anime to a minimum. It also comes with fantastic characters and gorgeous animation.

People who like Frieren are likely to enjoy Dungeons Meshi and vice versa. I certainly do.
