Since you enjoyed Ghost in the Shell, I’d recommend giving the new The Ghost in the Shell TV show a try. It preserves the sometimes-goofy, sometimes-serious feeling of the original manga, and it’s quickly become my favorite adaptation of The Ghost in the Shell. Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex is also quite good if you want just the serious feel, but I personally think the humor in the new one works really well. Crazy that a few decades ago the best new cyberpunk anime was Ghost in the Shell, and now in 2026 the best new cyberpunk anime is once again The Ghost in the Shell. I wonder if cyberpunk is just too close to reality to be enjoyable these days.

The writer of Fullmetal Alchemist also has a new anime based on her work coming out, called Daemons of the Shadow Realm. It’s another action-adventure thing, and I’ve been enjoying it quite a lot.

Honestly there’s been tons of great stuff coming out these past year. If I just listed out everything I’d recommend from the past few years I’d be here all day typing, but if there’s a genre that you’re looking for (that isn’t cyberpunk unfortunately) there’s probably been good anime made for it recently.
