Afro Samurai is a good one for a bloody beginner: five episodes in total, good animation and thrilling battles is my recommendation.

Golden Boy is another short anime, but I admit too sexist to start with.

Indeed. Fighting with a Katana agsinst overwhelming opponents gives the vibes. If you like such battle animations, Samurai 7 is highly recommended!

I watched my first Anime shows recently:

Demon Slayer
Haikyu!!

Both are on Netflix and I thought were fantastic.

I loved the Edgar Wright Scott Pilgrim Film! If the Anime has that same energy then I will deffo check that out.

You can see one of the best battles of the anime in the video. Press play, if you don't mind to be spoiled.

I’ve been using printed flashcards with one question per card and reviewing them in short bursts. Mixing topics during revision helps me remember stuff better than focusing on one subject too long.
