Thanks for this list! I haven't watched a lot of anime, but I have seen all of "No Game No Life" and RWBY (not technically an anime from what I'm told). Currently watching Season 2 of "Seraph of the End" and I will check out one of your recommendations after I finish that series.
No Game No Life was good the plot is great how they solve the game is excellent, but is plenty of fan service
I agree on both points! I liked how every episode had a game to settle an issue, and there was a lot of fan service; maybe a little too much!
Steins;Gate RULEZ, Awesome show, in my opinion the best follow by death note, Shingeki no Kyojin is good but is unfinished
I gave it some thought before i put it in the list because it is still ongoing but i think its worth the mention
Couldn't agree more with Steins;Gate, that and The Devil is a Part-Timer are definitely my two favourites.
Some really good recommendations here, I have watched some of them, and read Mangas that some of the others were based on, and I can definitely second your recommendations.
