I prefer anime that is conceived through originality.
"SDF Macross" 1982, tried original "Gundum" from @ 3 years prior but was to bland.
"Speed Racer" & "Cyborg 009"
"Harlock" & most all of Leiji's works
Don't know if "H.S. DxD" & or "Testament Sister New Devil" were the 1st in that area but I believe 1 of them is the most dated I've seen & the same with "SAO", all that tries to make $ with the same plots but different characters are just crap (though "Log Horizon" seemed to have been good, or t least I can recall the name).
"Kino's Journey"
"Steins;Gate"
Thought To Love Ru was near an original but killed that by 6 years when I found "Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki" 1992 just last week (Mid Aug '18) & all but 1 of the MC's isn't or looks 10-14 or 15 as well as UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie" (2002), But Really, Damned idiot arse writer's & producer's, flooding the youth of the world with ideas of being a hero-heroin while still in 7th-9th grade?
It's difficult enough to do what's needed as a young adult. So why keep flooding the market with perverted nerd hero wannabes that scream like a b!+@# & don't know what to do with the young girls you throw at them incessantly?
"Legend of the Galactic Hero's" new one is nice as well as it is Dubbed decently, just hope they pull off all the 165 episodes without taking 13 years again.
"In this corner of the world", "Grave of Fireflies", "Paprika", "Gunslinger Girls", "Rurouni Kenshin", "Coyboy Bebop", "Planetes", "Inuyasha", "Sekirei", "Steamboy", "Hotarubi no Mori e", "Drifters", "Arslan Senki", "Inuyashiki", "Tawawa on Monday", "Haganai", "Violet Evergarden", "Black Butler", "Hunter x Hunter", & "Girl's und Panzer",
?"Clockwork Planet", " The Devil is a Part Timer" at least the LN's were good, "Code Geass", "Gantz", "Hundred", "Taboo-Tattoo" & "The Irregular at Magic High"¿.
?¿"Future Diary", "Gosick", "Blue Exorcist", "Voices of a Distant Star"¿? these were rated 4.5 & though sone I appreciate more for sure also only 4.5 , I ave to hold off judgement till I learn if they were original concepts or I watch again because I may have forgotten what the hell they were about.

More good uns- "B-Begining", "Your Lie in April", Most of the early "Fate's", "One Piece", "K", "Appleseed" to "Appleseed:EX Machina" & "Appleseed Alpha" though the 3 "Appleseed XIII's" truly sucked donkey balls!, "Chrome Shelled Regios", "Girls' last Tour", "From the New World", "Ajin", "Dies Irae", "Elfin lied", "Assassination Classroom", "Durarara", "Shimoneta", "Blame", "Made in the Abyss",
"Children of the Whales", "Kakegurui" L.A. Good Too as well as "Death Note" & its L.A. & ;) "Saga of Tanya the Evil!".
There are more I am sure but I am tired, with a bloody d@mn€d ß@$+@ฯd of a headache, one surely straight from Hell itself & trying to connect via cell or past month as I royally screwed my laptop something terribly fierce. F×@# I think I may have even gotten knocked up, rather difficult for me to do as I had the vase's snipped & tied off in '95. So if my laptop has got a bun in the oven then its been cheatn' just as bad as my exes.
This next was already put at the end before I wrote the last abovementioned!

Iffy @ ?¿"Berserk" @50/50 might feel better @ it if I watch the 90's series, "Record of Grancrest War", "WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?"¿? Just Not to Sure, & same with "DanMachi" but with that last, by LN 8, 9 or 10 it becomes a 4-7 yr old child's fantasy BS. If the writer had stuck with only couple of creatures gaining intelligence like Dragon's are obvious as they have been speaking in over 65% of the movies they are in (albeit, 1/2 the time is just telepathically) & maybe the Harpy race that he met. I believe it was Harpies that tried to draw in Odysseus & his crew. But for f×@#s sake, even the creatures with craniums no larger than a walnut?
