Yeah, I wrote a whole list a few comments up (or down). You can't miss it. :)

As a quick thought, have you seen Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and Made in Abyss?

For stupid fun (mood dependent), then probably One-Punch Man:

It's super famous these days, so you've probably already seen it. ;)

Personally, I also really liked "Hai to Gensou no Grimgar" due to its focus on character growth rather than action:

But, not everyone's a fan.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners was good, Made in Abyss was too but I have to say it got borderline too depressing for me by the end of the last season.

OPM I really can't stand - dropped it just after a few episodes. :)

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar had a lot of promise with a different take on the common theme, but pity it looks like it will not be continued. :(

I read 9 or so of the grimgar books, the story became really stupid until I had to give up. The anime ended at the right time.

Yeah, that's a fair point. I haven't yet watched the 3rd season of Made in Abyss. Have been hesitant to do so due to its reputation. ;)

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar has both manga, and light novels, that stretch on for many more chapters past the anime. The Manga was good and continues on well from the anime. After reaching the end of that I picked up the light novels to continue on further.

Unfortunately (around novel 13 I think?) the author clearly didn't know what to do with the story and it turned silly and boring, so I moved on to other stuff. :(

Somehow I never got into reading manga, probably a good thing too - I checked my MAL stats and I says I have watched 330+ shows and I know I have been lazy and not rating all of them ...

Heh Heh Heh

Since you're not into Manga, this url probably won't be of interest then: ;)
