Clusterfuck is one of my favorite flavors.

Yes! The 80ās stuff looks so crude that I kind of get annoyed that I still respond so strongly to it!
I tend to binge watch series now. So many of them are so damn samey, with tired jokes and archetypes, that a series has to be REALLY engaging for me to not quit at the first sighting of the Lolita character or the Girl with the Big Tits or the Shmendrick (dopey guy) or the Powerful Childlike Girl with Amnesia. (Which helps speed up my anime watching!)
Some anime Iāve enjoyed a lot recently include Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill. I wanted VERY much to like Gunbuster 2 unabashedly, but all the gd crotch and ass shots of the main character Nono were terribly off-putting, disappointing and depressing. (Also, there was so much underdeveloped interesting stuff that was wasted!) It had some great moments (like the reappearance of Nono), but it was a mess.
I know a few people my age into anime, and a number of younger ones, too. I donāt go to fan clubs and havenāt for decades. I got thoroughly burnt out because of the idiot behavior of the anime fanboy/girl mafia and the shitty way Iāve been treated at most anime cons (except Anime Iowa, which rules).

Iām going to give Space Dandy a try.
Space Dandy is likely going to offend you. I like it, but itās, well, pretty misogynistic. Maybe I should dislike it out of empathy, but I kind of dig it. But, well. It is what it is. Donāt go in expecting Bebop.
Really glad you mentioned Robot Carnival, it was one of my first exposures, and still holds up fantastically. Maybe Iāll watch it tonight going to bed. 
Really appreciate the list. Will definitely give the ones I havenāt seen here a shot.

Cowboy BeBop! I liked that much!
I enjoyed Gun Sword a few years back, a well-drawn quick series that lags a little in the middle but the characters are fun.
