Recommendation for new season?
Almost all of my anime suggestions come from 2 friends. I went outside the circle for first time and got lucky with OddTaxi Episode. Apart from that I've pretty much only watched the big names like Death Note, One Punch Man, AoT, FMA and on other end Daily Lives of Highschool boys and Saiki K.
I realize OddTaxi was very much unusual for Anime, but I'd like to continue the trend. Anything fresh, and not from usual anime fold will be nice, so recommendations welcome!
Some of my favorites are Uchuu Kyoudai (follows an aspiring astronaut), Nichijou (slice of life comedy, like Daily Lives of Highschool Boys), Natsume Yuujinchou, Mob Psycho 100 (by the same guy who made One Punch Man, arguably better), and Hinamatsuri (similar to Saiki K in some ways, both are comedies about psychics).
Seconding tesseractcat's Mob Psycho 100 recommendation. If you liked One Punch Man, you'd enjoy Mob Psycho's art style and humor. Compared to One Punch, Mob Psycho does a much better job of developing the characters, which is part of its charm.
If you liked the premise behind Death Note, give Code Geass a try. It has a lot of same tactical elements in it.
Also, have you tried Demon Slayer? It's different than the shows you listed, but it's a really good show.
My goto under-rated anime suggestion is the Sound of the Sky. Its a slice of life story set in a peaceful post-apocolyptic world. I always need to recommend Vinland Saga, because it is my favorcite anime. I would also throw in Astra Lost in Space; I was surprised on how just good it was.
OddTaxi was phenomenal, watched the entire 13 episodes today. Really a masterclass in storytelling.
If you're into music at all, I went through all of "Those Snow White Notes" yesterday. Had me choking up from emotion at several points through the story, not sure if from the shamisens or the story. There's a LOT of beautiful music that's played in this one, but I recognize that some aren't as into music as I am.
