I consider this movie as my favorite anime movie! I find animes like Pokemon, yugioh, dragon ball cringe, I just can't take it seriously. I need to recommend you "Made in Abyss". For me it's one of most creatives anime I've watched. The story is amazing, soundtrack is unforgettable... The animation is just so beautiful..
Also, may I ask where did you get that profile picture? It's so beautiful and reverse searching didn't get me anything.
Also, take a sneak peek on my wallpapers here, you may like it as well: https://imgur.com/a/WlGSMxv

I'm not into anime that much, but you mentioned two Miyazaki movies, have you seen others? I liked almost every movie I have seen from Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli. Here are some you may want to look up: Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, Whisper of the Heart, The Secret World of Arrietty, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, When Marnie Was There, Kiki's Delivery Service.
I have not seen these yet, but plan to: The Wind Rises, Porco Rosso, Pom Poko.
A couple other movies I can remember that I liked are Your Name and Ghost in the Shell. Also, I love Little Nemo, but I grew up with it and have a lot of nostalgia, I'm not sure what other people think of the movie. You can actually watch it on youtube here.
I think I have only watched one anime series and I really enjoyed it, it was Elfen Lied. You probably won't want to watch this one with your family around.

Not a weeb but ...
Naruto and One Piece are great shows but there is a shit ton of fillers and are in general huge time sinks. One Piece is really bad with this and it is currently moving at a snail's pace. Still great shows, but worth keeping this in mind.

+1 to the following:
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Samurai Champloo
My Hero Academia
The Rising of the Shield Hero
Tower of God (which I am now watching)
Sword Art Online (with a caution)
The thing about SAO is that it is not your standard anime. SAO is a psychological study of online gaming in anime form. Many people approach it the way they do other anime, and they are put off by its failure to follow anime (or indeed, television) conventions. Each story in SAO amounts to the posing and answering of a question. (e.g. "If in-game death killed players, how would that affect their behavior?") For each such question, the "rules" of the anime world are adjusted to fit its scenario. Viewers who do not understand this therefore find the anime "inconsistent" and "nonsensical." Some people "get" the anime and enjoy it. Others do not.
For another anime which accomplishes similar things but does still adheres to the "rules" of story-telling, take a look at Re: ZERO - Starting Life in Another World. That one is a romantic-tragedy, and so may not be your cup of tea, but it is very good.

+1 to Akira
Akira was the first anime I ever saw, and it was in Japanese with no subtitles. Even without understanding the dialogue, it was a powerful movie.

Anything by Masaaki Yuasa, including but not limited to:
Good ol' sci-fi thrillers:
Shit that doesn't really fit your requirements, but you should watch anyways:
For a good chuckle:

May I ask a specific question about Steins;Gate?
I started Chaos;Head since it's the first in the same timeline with Steins;Gate and also Robotics;Notes but in the first episode I've heavily disturbed and dropped the series. Should I still watch Steins;Gate? Are they related or not besides the timeline?
Comment has been collapsed.
I couldn't say it was boring since I only saw one episode but I felt disturbed, that's why I asked. Though I guess they're not so related, just the same timeline, like Half Life and Portal. If it's not disturbing in any way I'm thinking about watching it.

I only know about Steins;Gate, hence why I gave my +1 to that.

+1000000 to One Punch Man
And if you like OPM, you should really watch Mob Psycho 100, also.

I'm not that into anime but Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is really fun.
Dorohedoro is on Netflix, it's a bit chaotic but really worth it after you just stop trying to understand what's going on.
My favorite anime/animated series are The Tatami Galaxy, Steins;Gate and Serial Experiments Lain.

Magic Knight Rayearth - a fantastic story with great plot twists
009-1 - a short anime with a narrative that puts blockbuster shounens and pseudo-intellectual animes to shame
Comment has been collapsed.
Some of these have been mentioned but I'll bring in my opinions on some I've enjoyed. Now, I don't watch very many but the ones I do are the ones I've stuck with. I'm glad you have some rules as I have some general rules for committing to an anime too, namely:
a) Less than 100 episodes. 2 seasons are usually best because it gives the story time to develop and reach a conclusion. The longer a show goes on (even non-anime) the more weird shit the writers have to do to keep interest and plots moving, so forget it.
b) No "anime faces" (there's one exception in the list). This is probably similar to your no cringe rule, I just don't need a character to suddenly pull a very cartoony angry face to tell me they're-angry-but-it's-funny while a sound affect goes whoop whoop bee doop. It's the reason I sadly couldn't even get started on Full Metal Alchemist.
c) The less fanservice the better. Especially characters constantly tripping and falling onto someone's crotch/cleavage/buttcrack. If this happens in S1E1, I'm out.
With that in mind, here are some that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Attack on Titan - I burned out on this awhile back because its later seasons set up a lot of conflict that was invisible earlier and so there's been much less actual attacks on titan. Still, I got back into it for the batshit crazy answers the later seasons delivered and would still recommend it, especially for the intense first season at least.
Steins Gate - time travel shenanigans. Very entertaining with lots of memorable lines/characters. I think someone falls onto someone's chest at one point, but at least it's late in the series and it's more of an attempt at a light moment when the show is at its darkest.
Neon Genesis Evangelion - I tried watching the remake movies, but there's something about the original's shoestring budget charm and real sense of vision, as wild as they wanted. Much less polished than current Boardroom Decision Targetted Demographic-Friendly Entertainment Product. I see echoes of Evangelion in Attack on Titan as well.
Fate Stay Night / Fate Zero - Fate Zero is the superior series, but you'll get more out of it if you watch Night as Zero is its prequel. Fate Stay Night does drift into tropes on occasion but it's still an entertaining premise which keeps things moving. I've lost track of the series after Zero, every now and then I see some new Fate Avergablathally Bang Bang title on Netflix, I'm like wth is this. Some are new stories I think, some are retellings of the original with different endings, but I don't have time to make sense of it all. I really doubt any of them can top Zero anyway, so why bother.
One Punch Man - very much the anti-anime, it takes great pleasure in poking fun at lots of tournament/overpowered hero type shows. Kind of manages to have its cake and eat it too. Loads of fun to watch.
Cowboy Bebop - I'm told this is very good but somehow it never clicked. Need to try again as I like the setting. Killer theme though, regardless.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Thing - I think they remade this too, I mean the original series in this case. I guess I just like mecha anime. I think the blinder you go into this one, the better. Good twists and a mix of supernatural and big robots.
Death Note - half of this series is really worth your time. I didn't see all of it but I read the manga and when Something Big Happened it just lost steam in the second half. Still, the tension and cat-mouse interplay between killer/detective is thrilling and the premise on its own is very original.

Fight! Iczer One, Iczer Reborn AKA Adventure!! Iczer-3 and Iczer Girl Iczelion are my three l time favorites.
(not so) fun fact- I first encountered it with Iczer-3 at a video store what had a 3 for 2 days for 3 dollars rental dead. I watched the first part, RAN back to rent the second part and saw it was a cliffhanger. NOBODY had the third tape. I called every place I had a membership to and even several I didn't (this was before the internet, mind you) and nobody had it. Fortunately, I knew of a comic book store in my town that's STILL in business to this day that would import it for me. So I imported all three parts and fell in LOVE with it.
Also, Grave of the Fireflies was one of the most AMAZING anime movies I have STILL seen to date. That and Voices of a Distant Star. That one I downloaded it illegally. After I watched it, I HAD to run to the local Best Buy to own the dvd. Voices has one of the single most moving OST I have heard in a long time. Hard to believe the whole thing was done by ONE person.

Looking for any Anime Movies or TV shows that are just amazing, and I should not miss!
I have Netflix and prime but I can use other streaming services as well!
I am mostly into those classics from the '80s '90s and early '20s, like My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, But anything good is fine!
Also not too much into magic (as long as it is the plot drive or main focus) And Tv shows like Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! Those are just cringy for me (not judging anyone)
I also would like to see some suggestions for any Mangas/webtoons. The only one I have watched and read is Astro Boy. XD
To note, I was raised in a home where anime was kinda pushed out of the way, even though my dad loved it! My mom did not like it. So now they kinda let me watch it because I am old enough? But also I think my parents where just shielding me away from other religions/cultures. At least my mom was. And that is why I wanna find some stuff I missed! (only Astro boy is what I can remember when it comes from anime.)
