For those of you saying "I don't like the style of that" re: Nightmare of the Wolf, I would honestly give it a chance anyway. I thought the EXACT same thing before I watched Dota Dragon's Blood (American production using the same South Korean animation studio), because I generally think anime is a bit naff, but I was shocked at just how fantastic the story, dialogue, and action was. I was NOT expecting it to be so good. Like, better than GOT good.
American anime seems to be having a bit of a renaissance right now. Avatar, Legend of Korra, Castlevania, Dota Dragon's Blood... That being said Nightmare of the Wolf might still end up shit, but if there's one thing I've learned over the course of this pandemic, as a fully grown adult, is that some of the BEST shows on television right now are animated.
Anyway, as a frame of reference for what my taste actually is, here's a sample. I highly recommend:
