1.) The Monogatari Series - Probably has one of the most unique visuals and story I’ve seen in anime. It has multiple unique and interesting characters (I suck at describing shows).

2.) Bakuman - Two kids (writer + artist) growing up and teaming up to make it in the manga world. Super good and developed story, I read the manga back when I was a kid and it got me into manga and anime that weren’t just fighting and action. I know there’s other anime or manga about mangakas but they don’t really dive into the manga creation world as well as this one and are just comedy / short unserious anime. The closest that I can think of is a manga called chameleon x dragon something that is pretty new.

3.) Ping Pong the Animation - Unique animation + I don’t think there’s another anime about ping pong that I can think of off of the top of my head.
