I’ve seen a few dragon ball z, naruto and death note episodes here and there and could never get into it. Always thought the animations were too exaggerated and didn’t care for the flying in the air stuff. I’m a fan of anything that plays into reality or has some deep messages.. any recs that lean towards that?

I'm surprised based on your likes of deep messages and non exaggerated animation that you didn't get into Death Note! How many episodes did you watch? I think one of the things I like when watching anime is when i say "Well what about this situation?" Usually the answer to that comes up. Death Note goes pretty deep on the implications and can really make you think about morality. Others that I like are Attack on Titan (has flying around but it's explained), and My Hero Academia. MHA seems childish at first, but it ends up being a neat take on superheroes. There are the occasional exaggerated faces in that one.

Sounds like you might like Evangelion? Very meta and reality bending.

Watch any Studio Ghibli movie, but especially the Miyazaki ones. I recommend Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Porco Rosso, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Laputa, and Nausicaa.

One word. Naruto.

If you don't like animation, then don't watch it.
During years I've changed from anime watcher to Manga reader, I love some of the story and those days I'm a love story reader mainly.
But it always depends on what you like and you are seeking for.

Agree with Alcibiade, no offense but if you don't like it, just don't watch it. I'm not fan of anime too, I'm just a Manga reader. I prefer reading than watching. Moreover, the anime is so far behind compare to its Manga

Akira and Paprika are both awesome anime movies that are undoubtably amazing and since their movies a lil easier to love

[the real emma watson]

Watch Sword art online

[mcjazz69]

just try watching one of the bigger animes that isnt 1000 episodes. like attack on titam is very good entry for animes. otherwise steins gate is one of those animes that is regarded as being a reallly good show. i have a lot of friends who really like it even tho they dont like anikme (although first few eps are a slog

[rachelvoid777]

Have you watched Avatar: The Last Airbender? it's on netflix. i feel like that's a good gateway anime

[footballplayer]

You get used to it after a while

[MEHMEH696]

Try One Punch Man. Short, funny and nice action scenes

[yellow_joel99]

Megalobox is a great anime to try if you're into boxing (with a twist to it), pretty badass action. I'm more of a fan of oldschool animation though so my personal favorite is Cowboy Bebop, its about space bounty hunters basically.

Anime is so varied. you can find fun seriese about anything, from sports, to cooking, to normal everyday life. but also crazy scifi and fantasy and lots of fighting series

[Patoel]

death note would be a great choice, but you can try watching animes like: Kaijuu no Kodomo, Evangelion, Monster

[TheDough300]

Sangatsu No Lion, Period.
