I tend to prefer shows that have a strong continuity between episodes, and that’ll grab you and make you binge the rest of the show (or at least the arc) in one go though.

I feel you my man. I love this kind of shows too - though I noticed drama, suspense and thrillers tend to fit the bill.

+1 on the AoT and Makeine recommendations from @ReluctantZen@feddit.nl (haven’t watched the rest)

Of anime that aired this decade, I think you may also like:

• 86 (started in 2021)

• Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song (aired 2021)

• Terminator 0 (2024)

• Pluto (2023)

• Heavenly Delusion (2023)

• Apocalypse Hotel (2025)

• Medalist (2025)

These anime starred high-schoolers as the main characters but you may like them anyway:

• Beastars (season 1 aired in 2019; the rest are more recent)

• Oshi no Ko (came out in 2023)

• Umamusume: Cinderella Gray (2025)

• Umamusume: Pretty Derby Season 2 (2021; can be watched without season 1 IMO)
