This chart explains precisely while I'll never get into GundamAll you need is Gundam.
I came for the Spring anime recommendations, but I got a Zero-Two shrine instead? 
Gundam is cool though.
Here are my first few picks for the Spring season:
Konoyo no Hate de Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO
https://www.funimation.com/shows/yu-no-a-girl-who-chants-love-at-the-bound-of-this-world/
Fairy Gone
Shoumetsu Toshi
Will post more recommendation after I watched a few more from this season. I'll leave the obvious ones like Fruits Basket, OnePanMan S2 and Shingeki no Kyojin S3 since almost everyone will watch those.

If you haven't played Yu-No before, well, you should. Most modern Visual Novels today takes its cue from Yu-No.

Fairy Gone
Super pretty looking anime from P.A. Works. I'm pretty sure human weapon trope has been done a million times over by this stage, but the story kinda interesting so...
Shoumetsu Toshi
It's kind of weird seeing MADHOUSE adapting anime sourced from a game, but this has idols so probably this will be up to someone's alley.

I like Zero Two but dislike Darling in the FranXX. Am I still allowed to post in here
Anyway, for Spring I'm basically watching only Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba so far.
I loooove the manga.
Kamen Rider basically ruined my entire weekly anime watching habit, so I'm now only catching up on Winter, lol.
I'll probably check some other Spring shows out after a few episodes or just watch them come Summer. I've realized it's quite nice to have a completed show available and watch it at your own pace, haha.
It's a glove-puppetry wuxia show written by Gen Urobuchi.
It rules.
Season 3 currently in development
Also, Symphogear. Can't have a magical girl show mentioned without mentioning Symphogear.
It has guns
Swords
Realistic depictions on how to dodge missiles with a helicopter:
A Beef Stroganoff song
Turning K2 into the 3rd highest mountain on the earth.
Oh and did I mention that they sing while fighting. Because they sing while they fight.

If you like Madoka you should watch Thunderbolt Fantasy~

I can't recommend too much newer anime, I really haven't kept up with it since leaving Japan.
Some oldies everyone should check out though: Gunbuster, Diebuster, The Big-O, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Noir, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, and oddly enough I prefer the anime version of Basilisk compared to it's weirdly done manga version.

PreCure is the goat mahou shoujo series though.
Also i am making it my life's mission to convert lashman to anime.

Precure is the DBZ of Magical Girl shows.
Symphogear is the Gurren Lagann of Magical Girl shows (which does not mean it's as good as that, but certainly escalates and is really over-the-top).
Watching order btw is Symphogear -> Symphogear G -> Symphogear GX -> Symphogear AXZ -> Symphogear XV (which isn't out yet)
Also all the openings are by Mizuki Nana.
Dororo was a definite highlight from Winter season (and Spring, if the quality keeps up). It's now at episode 13 out of 24.
MAPPA is on point as always. Although GARO Vanishing Line was kinda derpy at times.
Anime thread? I demand to be banned asap or I'll sue everyone!
I still need to watch through Dragon Ball Super and the last 2 Godzilla anime movies on Netflix.
In case you want to know about promising shows from a season, Sakuga Blog always has interesting previews: Spring 2019 Anime Preview
This part about Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba makes me excited:

Yeah, I really like how it looks.
I've been wondering since the announcement of the anime, how they'd visualize the water techniques, since they have this peculiar style in the manga as well..
But I think going by the OP they did a phenomenal job and I can't wait to see the rest.
Good start for the anime! I love the manga tooKimetsu no Yaiba episode 2 is out~
And it was great. Still looks great.
But I'm biased, I love the manga
Will there be a second season of Grand Blue? It's easily the most hilarious anime I've ever watched.
Just finished watching it over the weekend and I was laughing almost every second of it.

Gave AoT another shot. I half-assed-watched parts of an episode or two when it was airing on Toonami, and was turned off by the setting, characters, and Titan designs. Decided to give it another shot with the second half of season 3 set to air soon. I burned through 46 episodes in like a week and a half or two. Can't believe it myself, but I'm hooked. I still have three episodes left until I'm all caught up. Think I may also give the manga a shot after I finish some other stuff.
Ohh damn, I recently watched Ergo Proxy and I guess that is considered old these days but I was going to recommend even older stuff like Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, Juuni Kokuki, Fushigi Yuugi and even damn Van Dread was around the turn of the millenia. I feel old and out of the anime zeitgeist.
Although I do have my brother as a curator and he hasn't failed me yet.
Hey man, great recommendations and yeah I know how you feel.
It's been well over a decade since I felt any connection at all to current anime fandom lol. I try to watch a few of the newer things just to see what all the fuss is about and enjoyed quite a few. More often than not though I just rummage through the stuff from my childhood and anime of that time period. (90's - Early 2K.)I guess some more recent things I enjoyed would be: Psycho-Pass, Madoka Movie Trilogy, Gargantia and Aldnoah.Zero. But even these are quite removed from CURRENT stuff all things considerd lol. I do a much better job at staying on top of Manga at least.
Cool, I never really got into Manga although I think every anime is always based on Manga or novels might not be a bad idea to take a look, especially the ones that don't get an anime adaptation.Hey man, great recommendations and yeah I know how you feel.

I have seen Psycho-Pass and Gargantia which both were good, albeit the Psycho-Pass system seemed rather ridiculous and Gargantia gave some really strong Waterworld vibes with a sci-fi twist. Have to look into the Madoka and Aldnoah Zero.
I don't really have anything against newer anime either but I don't watch that much anime as a whole so the sheer number is kind of an issue. As said luckily my brother watches pretty much everything and he kinda knows what I like and what I don't so I usually ask him for recommendations.
I for example do really like Grand Blue which was mentioned above and One Punch Man from the newer stuff. Of course I have skipped most Shounen animes due to the sheer episode volume, apart from some Gintama and some Fairy Tail seasons.
I see one thing those shows have in common and that is Gen UrobuchiHey man, great recommendations and yeah I know how you feel.

So you totally need to watch Thunderbolt Fantasy that is also written by him (to be fair though, he only wrote the beginning 3 episodes of Aldnoah.Zero and the general concept, and I think Gargantia is similar in that regard).
It's made with puppetry and it rules.
