What anime should I watch
A common question that anime watchers ask is, “What anime should I watch?” One answer to this question is to use the “random” button on Crunchyroll. This button will give you a random anime that you can watch.
Another way to find an anime is by looking up reviews of different animes on sites like MyAnimeList. These reviews tell you what people liked and didn’t like about the show, so they are helpful in deciding if it’s worth watching or not.
And the third most common way is to look up anime in your favourite genre. Do you enjoy horror or slice of life. I usually watch funny anime with 20 or 30 episodes to banish my boredom. You should read this list to find out my recommended anime and why they are good.

But as the story progresses, we find out that Seki has been watching her back and he knows more about her than she does about him.

The anime Ouran High School Host Club is about a group of high school boys who operate a host club for female customers.

Conclusion and my recommendation
I have watched all the anime listed above. I have to admit, I REALLY enjoyed Ouran high, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K and Rock Lee and his ninja pals and Spy x family. I recommend these four. As for the streaming services, Funimation is a great choice but unfortunately its not available for all countries. That makes Crunchyroll and Prime video next best choices for streaming anime.
