Are you TRYING to mentally scar this man?
Seto no Hanayome (My Bride is a Mermaid)
The most I've laughed at a "harem" anime. Also Konosuba if that counts (it pretty much turns into a harem later on in the LN).
Edit: Oh yeah, The World God Only Knows is also good, even though the manga shits the bed pretty hard in the final act.
The Majikoi adaptation was really rushed and skipped over tons of content and was generally bleh, but it has some really funny/stupid moments in it. If you're not willing to read it (it's actually good) then give the adaptation a shot.
Says who? Everyone I've talked to says (LN spoilers)
Megumin and Kazuma are forming the OTP with everyone else by the wayside
I mean, it's still hilarious, but yeah. The biggest thing is that Aqua and Kazuma still have their brother/sister dynamic in tact and Kazuma is still a scumbag for the most part.

Now I am curious...
Let me explain to you just what kind of nightmare Yami is from everything I've heard from impressions throughout the years.
One, it was too yuri for SDBurton. Really think about that.
Too yuri, for SDBurton.
Two, do you want to never want to eat pancakes again? I bet you most certainly won't after Yami.
Three, considering how you reacted to School Days, I'm convinced that watching Yami will probably kill you.
Are you still curious?

Yeah, Mermaid was really fun. WGOK was pretty good as well.
Will look into, ty
Da fuq is this? Siscon yuri?
I don't doubt it's still funny, but Konosuba potentially conforming to the tropes it was constantly making fun of would legit make furious. Hopefully that's not the case, but If it does end up being a situation where Darkness and Megumin vie for Kazumi's (ugh), I really hope the anime takes it in a completely different direction.

I think some people would love to see that. And I need something to break my mind again...
God...
What has School Days done to me...

Texhnolyze is the only show people really need.
More importantly, it's the only show they really deserve.

It's not as blatant as what you posted and outside of like a few chapters, romance is never the focus, so it should be fine if the anime ever gets that far.
Just read your spoiler
Self-restraint? Nuanced friendships with girls who aren't Aqua? Genuine subversion?

to be fair the reverse harem bit from ouran really isn't important, it's a comedy first and really only focuses on being a reverse harem from time to time and typically when it does it's great.

I have an interview tomorrow. So I need my mind in the right for that. After that... we will see.

Literally every show on this list aside from FMA is super recent. Hearing that stuff called old makes me feel like I'm about to lose my hip or something.
Blue Exorcist is 6 years old
Fate/Zero is 6 years old
Anohana is 6 years old
strike the blood is 4 years old
blast is 5 years old
Ano Natsu is 5 years old
golden time is 4 years old
Eccentric Family is 4 years old
Working is 7 years old
and finally toradora is 9 years old
none of those I think can be classified as super recent

Also you can't go wrong with any Key show by Jun Maeda, like:
Clannad
Angel Beats
Little Busters
Air
Kanon 2006
...And Charlotte, I guess, if you watch all those.
Everyone knows that the first real anime came out in 2009 with the debut of K-On.

Well no, but they're hardly older stuff, at least not what I'd think of. Evangelion could be considered old by this point, Nadesico, Patlabor, Lupin The 3rd, etc. 6 years isn't recent, but it's not that old either I'd think.

First anime was clearly DBZ. Come on now.
No the first anime was Gundam 0083, an OVA to the main Gundam series.

I'll give you Toradora, but the rest are all from the current decade. That's pretty recent in my eyes. Certainly nothing on that list could be called old.Blue Exorcist is 6 years old
Fate/Zero is 6 years old
Anohana is 6 years old
strike the blood is 4 years old
blast is 5 years old

golden time is 4 years old

I think those all qualify as classic, or retro anime instead of just old.
I mean it really depends on how people want to define recent and old.
I have seen this thread plenty of times yell at people for listing shows more than a year old when someone asks for a recent show
Also you can't go wrong with any Key show by Jun Maeda, like:
Clannad

Little Busters
Air
Kanon 2006
...And Charlotte, I guess, if you watch all those.
angel beats > clannad > Charlotte > Air > Kanon 2006.
little busters is off to the side because I haven't been able to force my way through it yet but from what I have seen would slot between air and kanon 2006.
kanon just has to many girls that have been beaten by a moe stick that are unable to hold intelligent conversations beyond that of a 5 year old's level to be higher on the list.

After reading the synopsis, I can't wait.

Yooo
That's fair. But hearing that stuff described as old just made me shudder to myself and wonder if I'm just an old man now.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I have no idea why this thread is always managing to post spoilers of adapted works. The manga thread has a no tag policy and they manage to spoil less things than you guys do.
the oldies stations around here play 80s music.
i've even heard some early 90s songs from time to time :/
I like some of everything except fringe stuff like yuri or yaoi but even then some stuff is watchable like fruits basket.
My favorite stiff is probably yokai/god/myth related be it natsume, nura, or spice and wolf it doesn't matter the genre.
Kobayshi (The show) was kinda too sick/obsessive to have me keep watching. Don't know about the other.
Didn't figure it was that big a deal since it's a comedy show, but I can stop.

Dai Guard Episode 21 (engdub)
The ending reminded me of one of Kanon's episodes of Fafner. Unforgettable.

Thanks for the suggestions but I've seen them both. Had to YouTube a few moments of each before i recognized them so maybe I may rewatch.

K-ON!! 16
Noriko Takao did an excellent job on this episode, delivering superb direction with a good rhythm and structure throughout. The regular ritualistic repetition of Azusa talking with her classmates, going to the club room fired up to practice only to find just one other person there, doing a little bit of music work but mostly getting distracted, then her horrible realization that she had gotten off track - all bookended by the extra slice of cake scenes - that's good planning. It mirrors the rhythm of daily life while providing extra opportunity to characterize Azusa and the other club members in context of their relationship with her. Despite the mundane nature of the events, it's clear that a lot of thought and care went into this episode's creation, which I respect.
