Thought it’d be interesting to see some opinions on contemporary Japanese “Otaku” media (anime, manga, visual novels, light novels, tokusatsu movies, etc) from a site where I don’t see it often talked about
Personally my favorites would be:

Steins;Gate (Visual Novel)
Cowboy Bebop (Anime)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)
Youjo Senki (Anime)
Spice And Wolf (Anime)
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (Manga, though I like the anime adaptation of Part 2 and 4 better than the manga, the manga is better as a whole)

I will also say, if you don’t recognize the top three, you’re lucky enough to experience them with 0 spoilers. And considering they’re some of my favorite media period even while being lightly spoiled, you’re in for a treat if you ever do watch them.
