Heading to work so it will be a while before I can respond in depth, but any particular genres you like?
The one I always recommend no matter what is a classic - Cowboy Bebob. That’s the 1st anime I watched that didn’t ruin it with “over acting” and started me on my anime appreciation.
Chainsaw Man - Supernatural Action ( it can be very gory, modern time)
Goblin Slayer - fantasy adventure (can be gory and rape is prevalent, feudalism time)
Hells Paradise - Supernatural adventure with Samurai ( trippy and somewhat gory,feudalism time)
Natsume’s Book of Friends - supernatural slice of life ( its very serene {you might find it too slow, but its a very comforting watch for me}modern time)
Relife - school drama (modern time)
School-Live! - slice of life mystery ( the less you know going into it the better, modern time)
Solo leveling -fantasy action adventure (typical power fantasy, but fun, modern time)
The apothecary diaries - “historical” medical mystery show (to me it’s kinda made like a slice of life type show, feudalism time)
Dan Da Dan -supernatural action comedy (while it does have exaggerated emotions it really works for this shows style, modern time)
Re Zero: starting life in another world - fantasy isekai with time travel (lots of violence, but it serves the story, feudalism time)
For the most part these all avoid the worst of anime tropes ( little to no overacting emotions, no harems, no lolicon creepiness)
They are also either ongoing or wrap up well enough( a lot of good anime end with lots of threads still hanging because they are basically just ads for the manga/light novels)
