Anime Suggestion Question

niriv said:

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some anime recommendations and thought this would be a great place to ask! I’m into a variety of genres, but my favorites tend to be action, adventure, and psychological thrillers.
I appreciate well-developed characters, deep storylines, and world-building. I’m not too picky about art styles, but I do enjoy anime with strong emotional engagement and a bit of depth.
If you have any suggestions, please share!
Also, feel free to mention any hidden gems that might not be as popular but are still worth watching.

Do you prefer older gen anime or newer gen? I stick mostly to older gen so I can def help with that. Also, prefer the art style of older gen but I know a good bit of general stuff from both gens.

Japan, 1955: Mario Minakami has just arrived at Shounan Special Reform School along with five other teenagers who have been arrested on serious criminal charges. All assigned to the same cell, they meet older inmate Rokurouta Sakuragi—a former boxer—with whom they establish a close bond. Under his guidance, and with the promise that they will meet again on the outside after serving their sentences, the delinquents begin to view their hopeless situation in a better light.

The seven cellmates struggle together against the brutal suffering and humiliation inflicted upon them by Ishihara, a sadistic guard with a grudge on Rokurouta, and Gisuke Sasaki, a doctor who takes pleasure in violating boys. Facing such hellish conditions, the seven inmates must scrape together all the strength they have to survive until their sentences are up; but even if they do, just what kind of lives are waiting for them on the other side?

After death, either Heaven or Hell awaits most humans. But for a select few, death brings them to Quindecim—a bar where only pairs of people who die at the same time can enter. Attending the bar is an enigmatic figure known as Decim, who also acts as the arbiter. He passes judgment on those who wind up at Quindecim by challenging them to a life-threatening game. These games determine if the patron's soul will reincarnate into a new life, or be sent into the void, never to be seen again.

From darts and bowling to fighting games, the true nature of each patron slowly comes to light as they wager their souls. Though his methods remain unchanged, the sudden appearance of a black-haired amnesiac causes Decim to reevaluate his own rulings.
