Tenchi Universe. I like that there's only two love interests and the rest of the harem circle has a more family-like dynamic. Sci-fi adventure, doesn't center around high school, fun characters. Ticks all the boxes that I want out of anime.
Early 2000 - 2008ish was probably my favorite era. While they were mostly full of bad vn adaptations, at least they were adaptations of good media.

2010 - 2017 was pure battle harem slop, that made me stop watching seasonal anime due to the oversaturation. So I hate that era.
