MODERATORS
FCLC, Cowboy Bebop, Sword Art Online, and Frieren would be good ones to start with.
FCLC: modern setting with absurdist and Sci fi
Cowboy Bebop: future setting, Sci fi meets western
Sword Art Online: modern characters in a fantasy setting, fantasy with a tinge of Sci fi
Frieren: fantasy setting, plays with tropes of the genre so maybe leave this one until you've watched a couple of more traditional fantasy set series. Hard not to recommend it to everyone though.
How'd SAO make that list?
I liked it. The novel was a little better maybe.
I would argue that there is a reason it has become such a huge success. It's the vanilla flavor of isekai anime.
That's why I recommended it. It's baby's first isekaia, basically.
I mean, it IS basically a self-insert masturbatory 'little guy is super badass' anime... but it is a FUN and visually neat one at the same time. I would tell people to watch it if they like the premise. Just don't read the book. It somehow was more mary sue-ish.
