edit: feel free to reply no matter how old this thread gets!

I'm not particularly into anime, I like it just as much as live action shows or other types of animation. Having said that, I feel like watching some and I'm not sure what to pick.

Here's a list of other anime shows I've watched/manga and novels I've read, so you can better judge what to recommend. ( would greatly appreciate the story to be completed, I hate waiting years for closure) :

Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto : both great stories, I've read the mangas and loved them. They wouldn't be a priority to watch because I already read them.

Attack on Titan: started with the anime, it was great, switched to the manga, got extremely disappointed with the story development and its ending. It felt a bit like nonsense for me.

Dragon Ball/Z : probably my favourite, I've rewatched it recently. I don't like GT and Super.

Overlord: I've read good part of the novel and manga. I'm liking it so far

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: please No thanks. Not for me.

Death Note: loved the first arc, not a fan of the ending but no hate for it unlike with AOT.

I also recall Escaflowne and Inuyasha, they were alright but not something I've loved or hated. Cowboy Bebop also in this category, excellent visually and great OST but the story wasn't as gripping.

Other than that... Feel free to suggest any other titles! Extra thanks if you are specific about any versions and why is the show so great.

TIA

Haikyu is great. It’s about volleyball and follows the same sort of theme of DBZ about constantly pushing to improve.

If you liked the environment and feel of Cowboy Bebop you might enjoy Samurai Champloo. Same director but replace jazz with hip hop and space with feudal Japan. I think it’s a masterpiece.

I have heard so much about Haikyu, I could not care less about volleyball, but I have read it, somehow does not matter to enjoy it.

That's interesting, I usually eschew when a sport is the main theme in a show. But you're saying it's enjoyable regardless of the volley?

That is what I have been told, I couldn't say for sure because I haven't watched it, but it is sitting in my backlog though.

Completely agreed on Samurai Champloo, I'm yet to watch something else that floored me as much as that show did. I watched it several times over the years. It helps that I'm a massive trip-hop head and the soundtrack is made by legendary producer Nujabes (RIP).
