For me probably Death Note and Future Diary.

    I really liked Grimgar and wish it would get more seasons someday. It’s in a sort of Isekai fantasy setting, but the way they go about making every part of that situation seem realistic and horrible is great. From having no food or money to how horrible it actually is to have to stab something to death felt like a really fresh take on the genre at the time. Just be warned that you’ll have to pick up the light novels to continue the story. It’s no berserk '97 cliff hanger, but you definitely want to know what’s up with the world and why they’re even there which isn’t covered in the anime.

    Also, on topic, berserk '97.

      Same, I recently talked about Grimgar to a friend recently.
      From what I just checked, the show didn’t very well in Japan and one of the companies that worked on it went under. We probably won’t every see a direct continuation at this point I believe sadly.

      But apparently the light novel is going pretty strong currently sitting at 19 volumes, so if the world really interests you, you could read that.
