TV shows, movies or animes with interesting characters?

[LSD-Rumi]

I am looking for a show with a good plot and great characters, No Hollywood cringe pls.
What I mean by great characters is any or all of the following:

• Passionate, positive attitude, loving
• Wise, strong, and can handle things
• funny, charismatic
• smart, strategic, philosophical
• Weird, unique

Some shows I already watched and liked:

• Shameless
• The OA
• Counterpart
• The wolf of wall street
• Tokyo ghouls

Just finished the first season yesterday. Mind = utterly blown. Seriously one of the best TV shows I've seen in years.

@nistakeOk, I watched the show and I liked the plot so much, but still, the characters felt Lazy and uninspiring apart from that red-haired girl, especially the main character, oh god I hated that guy. He is like the opposite of everything I want in life, lol. And yeah,  the show felt necessarily slow at many times, to the point where I had to skip forward entire segments. Anyways, thanks for the recommendation.

Vagabond. It's a manga. Set in 1600s, Japan, it's about a guy who wants to get stronger and become 'invincible under the sun'. The whole story is his spiritual journey towards realizing his true nature and finding out what 'true strength' really means.
This manga literally helped increase my baseline.

There is an anime I recommend to people who like Anime.....One Outs. Its short...but its good. The first episode is a drag but by the 3rd episode it will hook you. One of the greatest short anime series ever.
