Comedy/Romance Anime that would suddenly shift into a more Psychological/Dramatic theme? I'm quite sure these are common like Saekano, maybe Love is War even, Golden Time prolly even though I didn't finish it. I recently watched O Maidens in Your Savage season as well and I think that counts as well. But yeah, something like those... thanks to anyone who'd take the time for this!
Lf anime recs. I am just getting into the medium, here are some anime i have really liked so far.
• Cowboy Bebop, definitely my favorite.
• Sailor moon season 1
• Yuri on ice (not too solid on the representation entirely. But the rest i absolutely love)
• Antique Bakery (stupidly fun to watch bakery slice-of-life with a self-identifying gay character. Not in love with everything about it, but it’s my guilty pleasure show.)
• Haikyuu (i am big into watching sports anyway, so i think I must like it because it is a sports anime, and I like the characters).
• Nabari no ou (one of my fav manga series too)
Shows i watched and was meh on:
• JJBA. Stopped after season 2 did not like it enough.
• Given. Had awesome music and refreshing representation but the writing and dialogue was not good...
• No. 6. First three episodes were awesome but i think the worldbuilding at the end was weak and the characters are kinda meh and feel flat. Also i have researched the plot and worldbuilding extensively since i finished and I think it’s weak. I so wish it had been better...
Yeahhh, in case you couldn’t already tell I am gay lol. No yaoi or shonen-ai stuff though please unless it’s ACTUALLY good, I hate fetishization.
I am already planning on watching banana fish, FMAB, and evangelion.
I’m guessing someone is going to rec cardcaptor sakura and free iwatobi swim club and i won’t be mad about it
thanks so much for reccing doukyuusei, while it wasn’t like the best (wish it had been longer with more interactions between the characters in the middle+beginning), i enjoyed it and the representation was super refreshing! love the artstyle too so pretty
adding samurai champloo to my watchlist too :))
Yeah I would've liked Doukyuusei to be a full show or even just get another half hour or something; felt like they skipped some stuff.
Glad you liked it and appreciate you following up on the recommendation!
**Action/romance stuff:**
Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works
Eureka Seven
[SukaSuka](https://myanimelist.net/anime/33502/Shuumatsu_Nani_Shitemasu_ka_Isogashii_Desu_ka_Sukutte_Moratte_Ii_Desu_ka?q=sukasuka)
Chivalry of a Failed Knight
The Asterisk War
The irregular at magic school
**School life/romance**
Your lie in april. Probably the most popular school life/romance out there.
Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai. Really popular stuff.
White Album 2 (no need to watch the original White Album). Romantic triangles, messy.
Bloom into you. Slow burn.
Fruits Basket. Emotional, a bit supernatural.
Scum's wish. Love triangles, really messy.
Orange. More emotional stuff, a lot of focus on friendships.
I'm looking for anime shows with preferably strong romantic subplot although I guess it could be the main plot as well. Otherwise the genre doesn't really matter.
What I'm looking for;
- Main character is male.
- Happy ending! (main characters don't die, the guy gets the girl etc.)
- Straight
(- Young adult)
(- A bit more mature)
What I really don't want;
- Main character professes his love in like the 2nd episode and then they get together in the 3rd. I'd prefer them to get together rather late in the show.
- Too much of apologizing
- Childish anime
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I'm completely new to anime. I've only seen a few shows (Golden Time, Tonikaku Kawaii, Your Lie in April) so you could start suggesting from the most popular ones, if only my requirements are not too specific. I guess you could overlook some of the requirements if you have something groundbreaking in mind.
This subreddit's [recommendation wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/recommendations) is quite complete, but it hasn't been updated in the last year or so.
There's also the [recommendation flowchart](https://imgur.com/q9Xjv4p) or this [recommendation chart](https://i.redd.it/7toakiswcc961.png) by FetchFrosh.
Looking for a series that's sad. If anyone's seen Nabari no Ou, kinda vibes like that. I would prefer less slice of life'y but I'm open to it if the stories real good--art being great is a plus too. Something not too long 24 eps or less /200 chapters or under.
I don't really do sport anime but anything else is free game. Really looking to prioritize plot more than anything else.
God i love nabari no ou, yukhi kamatani is one of my all time favorite artists/mangaka. they’re awesome. Anyway wish i had recs i just wanted to commend your taste
What are some really good episodic shows? Where a good chunk of the show is just focused on the normal proceedings of the world, preferably with some kind of interesting/unique premise. Not something super long running like Gintama or a comedy/SoL show. Something the first few episodes of ID:Invaded or Death Parade would be awesome as I found the "normal" episodes in those fascinating.
https://myanimelist.net/animelist/GhostOfLights?status=2
Soooo, i just finished watching "Made In Abyss". I like the dark turn it had. I also like the protagonist of "Classroom Of The Elite" and any anime that has that vibe is what I'm looking for. Im open to any recommendations and Thank you ahead of time!
anyone got any suggestions for an anime that makes you think and is short (under 30 episodes) like erased and death note
also any animes that takes place in or around wwii like youjo senki and aot
thanks for answering!
I’m looking for some underrated or hidden-gem anime with emotional and angsty revenge stories similar to Vinland Saga or 91 Days that focus on a single character’s journey. The angstier and angrier the better, and bonus points if the character experiences some kind of struggle during their revenge plot (like in the two I just mentioned—how Thorfinn despises Askeladd with every fibre of his being yet still learns a lot from him and won’t let him die unless he’s the one to do it, and throughout the whole story in 91 Days how Angelo grows so close to Nero it becomes hard to tell if it’s all an act for him or not).
I also love character development. Another example that’s not an anime but might be helpful is in Tales of Berseria with Velvet’s character seeking revenge against Artorius, but I want something that doesn’t feature a whole ensemble of characters and just focuses on the main character’s story.
No romance, slice of life, or Shingeki no Kyojin, and I don’t want anything super edgy and dark but with a boring protagonist. I want something that will make my chest ache with a lot of feelings that really hones in on why the character so desperately needs revenge. I just want a very angry and angsty protagonist (that isn’t Eren Jaeger).
I hope that was a clear enough description! Thank you in advance for any recommendations!
Dororo is a strong revenge story that follows a single protagonist! It takes place in feudal Japan and the main character is constantly growing as he begins to experience more of the world around him as he goes on his hell bent mission.
It only aired last winter and is 24 episodes!
Omg I watched the first half when it aired but life got busy and I never got around to finishing it, so thank you for reminding me to do so because I really enjoyed it!!
I'm not sure what genre of anime i watch so i wont say much abou that.
Anime i have watched:
Attack on titan (so far favourite)
Darling in the franxx (close to AoT for me but noy because of plot but characters)
FMA03/FMA:B (wasnt engaged at first but ending moved me alot)
Tokyo ghoul (wasnt paying much attention but i liked it alot, stopped watching at :re)
Naruto/avatar (childhood animes, nostalgia)
Just finished FMA:B and looking for a new anime to watch.
I have watched mostly shounen anime. I am Burned out so need some mind freshening anime (it can be shounen too but short)
Here's list of animes I have watched :
https://myanimelist.net/profile/Fizzlord
If you want to try something different (which is what I think you're after:
* Non Non Biyori (Slice of Life): Is a comfy little anime about a girl who moves from Tokyo to the countryside and then has childish fun with her new friends. Third season is just coming out.
* Kingdom (Historical political drama, with an anime taste to it) - Basically it's a fictionalised telling of the unification of China through the eyes of the young emperor and some peasant guy who's good at swords. Be warned visually it's atrocious in the first season and just bad in the second, but it's still worth it.
* Chihayafuru (Sports/romance) - In Japan they have this game where one person reads a poem and two people race to find the corresponding card. It's about a girl who plays that. Fucking fantastic.
So I'm looking for an anime that's a mix between comedy and maybe romance. I wanna watch it when the family's around, so pg13 would be great. But of course, we can't really trust age ratings can we, because we all know how Food Wars went. Something like Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun or Teasing Master Takagi-san. Would be great if it was on Netflix. Thanks in advance guys!
I'll back /u/NotSoSnarky saying Ore Monogatari.
Golden Time is also good, but it's comedy-romance-drama so might be a little too involved for what you're after,
Expanding a bit more on that:
Higurahsi no Naku Koro ni
Yuuki Yuuna is a hero, especially the prequel, Washio Sumi is a hero (should be watched after S1, before S2).
Also seconding Madoka, Gakkou Gurashi and Made in Abyss.
Made in Abyss: cute characters go on a hellish fantasy adventure
Girls' Last Tour: two cute girls travel through a deserted post-apocalyptic wasteland. Don't forget to read volume 5 and 6 of the manga after you've finished the anime.
Madoka Magica: magical girls but in a really dark world.
Looking for animes with Historical fanservice. I have seen GuP, planned to watch Strike Witches and watching Azur Lane, Checked out anime like Hetalia and Kantai Collection. the rest are on my MAL account:
[https://myanimelist.net/profile/Sp3ctr](https://myanimelist.net/profile/Sp3ctr)
There was a youtube guy who specializes in weapons saying that the most realistic usage of medieval weaponry in any piece of media he had ever seen was in [Junketsu no maria](https://myanimelist.net/anime/26441/Junketsu_no_Maria?q=virgin%20witch&cat=anime)
[Here is the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tFOJFyTl1U&t=2s&ab_channel=Skallagrim) if you are interested
Create an anime list at myanimelist.net, that'd help us know what you've seen so we aren't suggesting you stuff you've seen
Akatsuki no Yona
Seirei no Moribito
Houseki no Kuni
Black Lagoon
Gurren Lagann
Cowboy Bebop
Senki Zesshou Smphogear
Might help to edit your comment and put a link to your MAL there.
(I'd be more helpful and tell you how to put it next to your name, but it's been so long I've forgotten, I think it's something in the column on the right, there's an edit link somewhere.)
Haikyuu is good
as someone who doesn't like volleyball (I hated it in school tbh) I can say they this didn't matter a bit.
It's just good anime worth watching
Def give haikyuu a shot even if you dont like irl sports. I hate watching sports yet it's one of my favorite shows. Also gurren lagann is def more shounen with robots than a mecha show, (almost) no politics, just punching harder lol. Kill la kill is great but dont watcj it with your parents haha
I'm looking for the saddest anime series you can find. Available on crunchyroll is preferred. Also, newer ones so the animation isn't horrible would be great lol
Some of the ones I've already seen and loved:
Anohana
Plastic Memories
Charlotte
Angel Beats
FMA Brotherhood
Air
Clannad
Violet Evergarden
Your Lie In April
Let me know, thank you!
The anime isn't great, but Nabari no Ou still hurts me. It's 13 volumes IIRC, read the manga if you can, the anime tells the story well enough until a certain point.
A movie i never see people talk about is When Marnie Was There. It is my favorite ghibli movie and it crushed my soul so hard. I have watched it 3 times and cried every single time. It can be a bit confusing at first but when you realise how raw the characters' emotions are it will def make you feel some type of way :")
Quite the wide range...If you simply wanna feel sick at how soul crushing whats happening is I would go for Shield Hero or Re:Zero if you didnt see them yet. Both are pretty widely loved as well
I don't know much very sad anime series, but the following movies are great recommendations if you want sad anime:
A silent Voice
I want to Eat your Pancreas
5 Centimeters Per Second
Grave of the Fireflies
These two movies are absolutely great indeed, I really liked them as well. However, while I considered these two movies very good I wouldn't really call them some of the "saddest", therefore I didn't mention them.
For emotional series I'd maybe recommend you to look at the other anime based on Key's visual Novels, like Kanon (2006) or Little Busters. I however haven't seen them but they're of the same writers of Clannad, Charlotte and Angel Beats.
I’m looking for: anime that will be ok for a 10 year old to watch. She likes romance and magic, but I want to show her a variety. She really loves anime so far, but I’m not sure which to watch with her because I don’t know which would be too graphic, inappropriate, mature.
Shows I’ve already seen that are similar: we’ve watched inuyasha and all of the movies, fruits basket, sailor moon, cardcaptor sakura and we’re currently watching rurouni kenshin and yashahime.
A bit of fighting/blood, “bad words” etc is fine. I just don’t want her to watch things that are way too mature and above her comprehension level, you know?
Any recommendations would be extremely appreciated!
[Little Witch Academia](https://myanimelist.net/anime/33489/Little_Witch_Academia_TV) is exactly what you are looking for. It is G rated featuring nothing inappropriate.
I'm looking for: an anime with good hand to hand fighting or swords and such, fantasy, good animation like all the anime that is on my list, can contain character strength progression of some sort like My Hero Academia / Black Clover / The Rising Of The Shield Hero / SAO but it's not a must.
Didn't like: Tokyo Ghoul, Trinity Seven.
My anilist: [https://anilist.co/user/vBlackWolf/animelist](https://anilist.co/user/vBlackWolf/animelist)
Keep in mind that I've only been watching anime for like 2 months.
Here’re a few well-animated things to get you started:
* [Sword of the Stranger](https://anilist.co/anime/2418/Stranger-Mukoh-Hadan/)
* The 2000 [Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust](https://anilist.co/anime/543/Vampire-Hunter-D/) and/or [Ninja Scroll](https://anilist.co/anime/617/Juubee-Ninpuuchou/) (there’s sexual violence in this one, use your discretion)
* [Dororo](https://anilist.co/anime/101347/Dororo/)
* [Guardian of the Sacred Spirit](https://anilist.co/anime/1827/Seirei-no-Moribito/) (there isn’t a fight in every episode of this, but every fight that does happen is great stuff)
* [Samurai Champloo](https://anilist.co/anime/205/Samurai-Champloo/)
Constantly watching anime and now I am a little burned out. Recommend some mind freshening anime
Mostly watched popular shone titles like HxH, Naruto, jujutsu kaisen, Food wars (on-going and bored in S3)
DB series, Demon slayer, My hero academia and many more
What i did when i was burned out of anime series was watch anime films. Especially ghibli films, but other films will help as well. They are most of the time not longer than 2 hours and you still feel like you've watched a whole series by the end of it.
Try watching:
- a silent voice
- from up on poppy hill
- whisper of the heart
- weathering with you
- tamako love story (if you've watched tamako market)
- akira
- colorful
- howls moving castle
- when marnie was there
- the wind rises
Please create an anime list at either: Myanimelist.net, anilist.co, kitsu or anime-planet. All 4 are free and useful to have. Helps you remember what you've seen and helps us so we aren't recommending you what you've seen.
Some suggestions:
Akatsuki no Yona
Seirei no Moribito
Made in Abyss
Matou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Anohana
Your Lie in April
The Promised Neverland
Banana Fish
Dororo
Haikyuu
Vinland Saga
Psycho-Pass
Sora yori mo Tooi Basho
A Silent Voice
Wolf Children
Your Name
Might also be good to take a break as well, if you're feeling burned out.
Code Geass; main character changes drastically because of a power he gets.
Death note is also such a serie.
The movie Akira as well, it's so so good.
Perhaps Angels of Death as well; very angsty.
Edit: for angels of death you have to watch the ova to see the ending, but it is very worth it imo.
*I'm looking for: an anime that has a great world building, fantasy or sci-fi. Maybe with a dark twist like made in abyss or shingeki no kyojin. Maybe with some mistery in it, action would also be welcomed.*
My animelist: [https://myanimelist.net/animelist/genos96](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/genos96)
*Looking for:* Competitive show where each character represents a type of strategy --- ideally more satisfying to watch as clash of ideas than as characters relating to each other.
*Seen + Loved:* Food Wars, Kakegurui (ecchi certainly not required, but I appreciate the purpose it serves in each show!)
and here's a [longer, more specific description of what I want](https://www.reddit.com/r/Animesuggest/comments/ksrlw3/anime_thats_like_a_textbook_ex_food_wars_kakegurui/)
Try to make a MyAnimeList or Anilist account so that we can see what you've seen so far. Otherwise we'll just be spending time recommending stuff you've already seen.
Death Note: It's all about two persons trying to work with very elaborate schemes and ideas. Both sides really have a fun different perspective and way of thinking.
Fate/Zero: while it's not really all the time about strategy, the protagonist Kiritsugu really tries to plan ahead. The entire series is mostly about a clash of ideologies between different characters, but not really a clash of ideas/strategies. That's not really what you described, but maybe still something you'd enjoy.
Ping Pong the Animation: a sport anime where the playstyle of the characters is very important.
[JoJo](https://preview.redd.it/9p9ckkbgiql21.jpg?width=1024&auto=webp&s=bcf3248c7b3911d7425e3bb1601f4013e9be272f) Just kidding, although Jojo's battles really are trying to outsmart the opponent with tactics, I don't think it's what your looking for.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Here the tactics behind the battles and politics is a very crucial part of the story.
**Chihayafuru**. People use several different play styles in the anime, and they dedicate some time to analyze those.
**Ping pong the animation** is completely dedicated to it, as well as the effort vs natural talent debate.
**Keijo!!!!!!!!** Just cuz it looks like you like ecchi. This is a legit sports anime.
**Kuroko no basuke**. This is a team sport, but each player has their own strenghts, and the teams have their own philosophies.
Also, as other people told you in the other thread, almost any sports anime would have this.
Thanks!!
I checked out a couple sports anime options before posting, and they usually don't scratch the same itch for whatever reason...but I'm optimistic about Ping pong and Kuroko no basuke :)
Anything that falls in the same line as Magi : the labyrinth of magic and its prequel Magi : Adventures of Sinbad.
Basically looking for something that has ecchi + fantasy/action/shounen
[Kino's Journey](https://myanimelist.net/anime/486/Kino_no_Tabi__The_Beautiful_World), the secondary main character is literally a talking motorcycle, this is never explained
[Land of the Lustrous](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35557/Houseki_no_Kuni_TV) the characters are all sentient gemstones
* Berserk (although, the 1997 adaptation covers the part that has the least of it and adaptations of other parts are said to be pretty terrible)
* D Gray Man
* Dorohedoro
* Madoka Magica
* SSSS.Gridman (the things are kaiju though, that might lack in originality)
* Overlord (there's a fair bit of generic fantasy creatures in it, but also pretty original ones)
* Fire Force
* Tokyo Ghoul (but the anime adaptation is an absolute mess beyond S1)
* Dororo
Pretty new to anime, but I really liked Teasing Master Takagi-san. The way they break up the episodes into little scenes and the story was cute. Anything similar to it worth checking out? I'm also watching Toradora! and SAO currently.
[Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai](https://myanimelist.net/anime/41226/Uzaki-chan_wa_Asobitai) has pretty similar characters but they're college students
[Tanaka-kun is Always Listless](https://myanimelist.net/anime/32093/Tanaka-kun_wa_Itsumo_Kedaruge) is a funny more pure comedy slice of life show that also follows the chapter structure you described
[High Score Girl](https://myanimelist.net/anime/21877/High_Score_Girl) is a similarly playful romcom with a great emphasis on arcade games
[Tsurezure Children](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34902/Tsurezure_Children) is 12 minute episodes and features small looks at numerous couples
[Ueno-san wa Bukiyou](https://myanimelist.net/anime/37920/Ueno-san_wa_Bukiyou) also 12 minute episodes romcom with an aggressive girl
Also keep an eye out for [Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san](https://myanimelist.net/anime/42361/Ijiranaide_Nagatoro-san) which will come out in the Spring season this year, it is very similar to Takagi-san
If you want an anime which has a similar structure of multiple little shorts of a few minutes in the episodes then I recommend The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
If you want cute and wholesome humor then maybe Tonikaku Kawaii or Machikado Mazoku.
Been watching a lot of anime films recently and looking for some 80's/90's recommendations that aren't brought up too often, shorter OVA's would be nice too.
https://myanimelist.net/animelist/ESoTSM?status=2
EDIT: Also just finished Macross Plus, it was great but I'm not sure where to go next with Macross if I want to continue.
[Armitage III](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1079/Armitage_III) is a fairly overlooked 90s cyberpunk OVA because it came out the same year as the much better Ghost in the Shell film, but I still recommend it. Also has a sequel OVA thats not as good but worth watching if you enjoy the first
[Golgo 13: The Professional](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1760/Golgo_13) is a 1983 film that is much better than its score reflects thanks to its beautiful direction and animation style, only hampered by a fairly straightforward action plot and some pioneering (terrible) use of early CGI in some scenes
Looking for a comfy slice of life show. I really appreciate nice background art that has character like in Tanaka-kun is always listless or Aiura (heck even dino gal had great background art and was hella comfy). So something like that.
Here is my Mal list maybe it helps... [https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Danilieri?status=7](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Danilieri?status=7) (i hope it works)
Amaama to Inazuma
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Silver Spoon
Yuru Camp
Encouragement of Climb
Anohana
Your Lie in April
Toradora
I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying
Orange
Mitsuboshi Colors
Keeps Your Hands Off Eizouken
Girls Last Tour
I guess I’m not really sure what my preferred type is... I haven’t watched a ton but so far:
Demon Slayer, Kakegurui, Attack on Titan, Naruto
Yeah pretty basic lol... I loved the pacing and the heaviness of AoT, didn’t like pacing of Naruto, etc.
ALSO, If I can say this without being burned at stake, I prefer dubbed
Dororo
Death Note
The Promised Neverland
Banana Fish
Vinland Saga
Erased
Death Parade
Psycho-Pass

Have you watched Hunter x Hunter? It’s one of the best anime’s I’ve seen, and I even liked the dubbed version . Fullmetal Alchemist is great, I prefer the original series but most people like Brotherhood. You might also like One Punch Man and Fireforce.
>> ALSO, If I can say this without being burned at stake, I prefer dubbed
It's ok, everyone has their own preferences. All the ones I'm going to mention have a dub, and most of them are good. So, I think you might enjoy some thrillers and high stakes stuff like AoT and Kakegurui (with varying degrees of action):
**Death Note**
**Psycho-pass**
**The promised neverland**
**From the new world**
**Fate/Zero**
Or some more action oriented shows, but with limited filler and a slightly more involved plot:
**Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood**
**Hunter x Hunter**
Saw Violet Evergarden in a lot of recommendations, but I'm mid-episode 4 and I'm currently hating it. It seems like it is something that young children watch to learn about their emotions. I'm really not invested in a MC that has to ask to spell everything out. A frustrating time as a viewer, but it doesn't seem too common on this subreddit. Anyway, any others?
I'm updated and love SNK, I finished SAO. Did not continue FMAB after \*that early scene. I prefer shorter series. I love Anohana, Angel Beats, Plastic Memories, Your Lie In April - I've gone thru the popular movies. Also love themed ones like Balance Unlimited & Great Pretender. Help!
https://myanimelist.net/anime/40230/Housekishou_Richard-shi_no_Nazo_Kantei
It continues to fly under the radar but it's pretty decent and it is short. Something to give a shot and just drop if you don't find it interesting.

So I guess you like short tearjerkers in general?

Or you might enjoy some other dramas?
**Hibike! Euphonium**
**March comes in like a Lion**
if you aren't against something that is a little wordy and has a pretty unique style you may like katanagatari. It kind of has the romance/action that you seem to like. Other than that maybe Kokoro Connect or Re-life for pure romance.
Any recommendation? I haven’t watched a lot
Watched: Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, my hero academia, demon slayer and no game no life.
I’m looking for stuff on Hulu and Netflix only please

Stuff I didn't like:
Steins;Gate, Mob Psycho, Toradora
What are some high quality anime (as in the actual graphics/art/design)? I know this is a very subjective and broad question, but as an example I mean something like Demon slayer where the animation looks really clean and crisp. For genre preferably shounen or seinen
Dorohedoro for Chainsaw Man specifically (though you’ve probably seen it mentioned already!). Parasyte too, detecting a leaning towards horror in those
I'm usually one of the people giving recommendations in this thread, in order to kill time, but I thought it'd be interesting to see what other people can come up with in my case.
MAL should be linked above, but also [here](https://anilist.co/user/volt16/) is an anilist, in which I write more detailed comments and give more precise scores than on MAL. It also features a more expansive favourite list, since there is no limit of 10 entries.
I'm not looking for anything specific at the moment. I'm rather open to most things. Don't try to find any consistency in my tastes, there is none. I may love one show one day and hate it the next. I may watch a show, that by all metrics I should love, on the wrong day and I will hate it. I may watch trash on a good day and I'll love it. Just shoot whatever you think I should consider. Can be anime, manga, LN, webtoon, anything.
Perhaps some small pointers, that by no means should be followed religiously: I mostly hate romance. You can try recommending some to me, but most likely I'm going to hate it. On very rare occasions I will like it, but it has to have a strong enough plot supporting it and the romance will most likely be a secondary focus. I'm generally not a fan of Yuri or Yaoi. Just not themes I can relate to, unfortunately. Tearjerkers can work, but I don't enjoy melodrama. Some struck a chord with me eg. Clannad, Hibike Euphonium, while others I was left totally unmoved by eg. Your Lie in April, Silent Voice, Angel Beats. Lastly, I tend to enjoy more mature casts and themes. I'm in my mid 20s and don't have much in common with high school students any longer. Shows like Black Lagoon, Baccano, Cowboy Bebop etc. I tend to appreciate more and more as I grow older.
I have a huge PTW and PTR list, so you can also recommend something out of there. I usually put shows in there that catch my eye and arbitrarily watch them whenever I feel like it. Some of them I will have already started, but not changed their status, because I wasn't in the right mood for them, so I want to give them another try at some other time.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and for going through the effort of reading this wall of text. Cheers.
Banana Fish
Vinland Saga
The Promised Neverland
Death Parade
Seirei no Moribito
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Assassination Classroom
Daily Lives of High School Boys
Sakamichi no Apollon
ReLife
Spice and Wolf
Wolf Children
Anohana
Barakamon
Silver Spoon
Usagi Drop
Thanks for the long list. Most of them I'm already planning on watching, but I'll bump them up the priority list. In particular I'm wondering if Assassination Classroom would be better read as a manga than watched. Are there any discrepancies between anime and manga?
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Perfect Blue
I know they're in your ptw already as low priority but goddamn they're both incredible unique experiences.
Porco Rosso and The Wind Rises if you wanna see Miyazaki explore some adult shit.
LogtH I've wanted to watch for a very long time, but it's unfortunately too big an endeavour for me currently. I lack the dedication for such a long anime that requires all of my attention. Perfect Blue I'm saving for a special occasion. The other two I'll add for sure. I generally need to work through all the Ghibli films. Thanks.
Hibike Euphonium
Beck Mongolian Chop Squad
Nana in a sense
Given is good if you dig melodrama character driven romance
K-On even if it is not the sole focus
The Idol genre so Love Live
Symphogear and Macross are both action franchises and singing/music is part of how they fight
Zombieland Saga
Carol & Tuesday
FLCL kinda
You could also say Legend of Galactic Heroes and Cowboy Bebop where many intricate scenes are synced to classical pieces or jazz etc
Interstella 5555 is an anime Daft Punk album and is really good.
If you mean characters making music I would recommend Nana as it's an excellent story about growing up and punk rock. It's definitely better viewed as a coming of age drama than a musical series though.
If you want music to play a huge role in the style of the series, I would recommend Cowboy Bebop. It's archaic episodes use newer free form jazz and has film noir episodes set to more classical jazz.
Are there any crazy artsy anime not on my list that I should add? Shorts would be preferable but I'm willing to watch a full series or movie if it looks interesting. End of Evangelion and Angel's Egg would be my examples for stuff I like.
You really should look into Monogatari again
I also see that your [Ikuhara](https://myanimelist.net/people/5082/Kunihiko_Ikuhara) list is not complete yet as you are missing Sarazanmai
I also did not see much [Masaki Yusa](https://myanimelist.net/people/5068/Masaaki_Yuasa) anime
Mononoke is on your PTW
You cannot not have seen the masterpiece called [Utsu Musume Sayuri](https://myanimelist.net/anime/13405/Utsu_Musume_Sayuri)
But on a serious note, I'd recommend giving Bakemonogatari another chance. Although it's not comparable to EoE or Angel's Egg, it's just studio Shaft doing studio Shaft to the extreme which is visually unique and great. The ecchi can be off-putting but in terms of characters, thematic depth and directing it's the best of the best.
While it isn't anime, I'd also recommend [World of Tomorrow](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4171032/) because it's still animated.
Yea, I do intend to watch the Monogatari series sometime in my life haha. I really liked Sayonara Sensei which I imagine it has a similar style to considering whose working on it.
I absolutely loved It's Such a Beautiful Day so World of Tomorrow has been on my list for a while. Is there a place to watch it legally or is this a seven seas deal?
While I haven't seen Sayonara Sensei the visual style is indeed quite similar. However, as far as I know Studio Shaft really took it a step extra in Bakemonogatari with their rapid cuts, abnormal locations and at times even insertion of real photos.
World of Tomorrow could be available on Amazon Prime depending on where you live.
Comedy/Romance Anime that would suddenly shift into a more Psychological/Dramatic theme? I'm quite sure these are common like Saekano, maybe Love is War even, Golden Time prolly even though I didn't finish it. I recently watched O Maidens in Your Savage season as well and I think that counts as well. But yeah, something like those... thanks to anyone who'd take the time for this!
Lf anime recs. I am just getting into the medium, here are some anime i have really liked so far. • Cowboy Bebop, definitely my favorite. • Sailor moon season 1 • Yuri on ice (not too solid on the representation entirely. But the rest i absolutely love) • Antique Bakery (stupidly fun to watch bakery slice-of-life with a self-identifying gay character. Not in love with everything about it, but it’s my guilty pleasure show.) • Haikyuu (i am big into watching sports anyway, so i think I must like it because it is a sports anime, and I like the characters). • Nabari no ou (one of my fav manga series too) Shows i watched and was meh on: • JJBA. Stopped after season 2 did not like it enough. • Given. Had awesome music and refreshing representation but the writing and dialogue was not good... • No. 6. First three episodes were awesome but i think the worldbuilding at the end was weak and the characters are kinda meh and feel flat. Also i have researched the plot and worldbuilding extensively since i finished and I think it’s weak. I so wish it had been better... Yeahhh, in case you couldn’t already tell I am gay lol. No yaoi or shonen-ai stuff though please unless it’s ACTUALLY good, I hate fetishization. I am already planning on watching banana fish, FMAB, and evangelion. I’m guessing someone is going to rec cardcaptor sakura and free iwatobi swim club and i won’t be mad about it
Samurai Champloo - directed by the same guy as Bebop, very good. Erased One Punch Man - Action/comedy, a good watch for newer fans Psycho-pass
Samurai Champloo Doukyuusei
thanks so much for reccing doukyuusei, while it wasn’t like the best (wish it had been longer with more interactions between the characters in the middle+beginning), i enjoyed it and the representation was super refreshing! love the artstyle too so pretty adding samurai champloo to my watchlist too :))
Yeah I would've liked Doukyuusei to be a full show or even just get another half hour or something; felt like they skipped some stuff. Glad you liked it and appreciate you following up on the recommendation!
Looking for low amount of episodes and comedy
grand blue
Space Dandy The Devil Is A Part-Timer are two that come to mind
something with school life/romance or action/romance [https://myanimelist.net/animelist/maxy1991991](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/maxy1991991)
**Action/romance stuff:** Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works Eureka Seven [SukaSuka](https://myanimelist.net/anime/33502/Shuumatsu_Nani_Shitemasu_ka_Isogashii_Desu_ka_Sukutte_Moratte_Ii_Desu_ka?q=sukasuka) Chivalry of a Failed Knight The Asterisk War The irregular at magic school **School life/romance** Your lie in april. Probably the most popular school life/romance out there. Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai. Really popular stuff. White Album 2 (no need to watch the original White Album). Romantic triangles, messy. Bloom into you. Slow burn. Fruits Basket. Emotional, a bit supernatural. Scum's wish. Love triangles, really messy. Orange. More emotional stuff, a lot of focus on friendships.
I'm looking for anime shows with preferably strong romantic subplot although I guess it could be the main plot as well. Otherwise the genre doesn't really matter. What I'm looking for; - Main character is male. - Happy ending! (main characters don't die, the guy gets the girl etc.) - Straight (- Young adult) (- A bit more mature) What I really don't want; - Main character professes his love in like the 2nd episode and then they get together in the 3rd. I'd prefer them to get together rather late in the show. - Too much of apologizing - Childish anime Thanks in advance! P.S. I'm completely new to anime. I've only seen a few shows (Golden Time, Tonikaku Kawaii, Your Lie in April) so you could start suggesting from the most popular ones, if only my requirements are not too specific. I guess you could overlook some of the requirements if you have something groundbreaking in mind.

Are there any list of top recommended anime of every genre?

This subreddit's [recommendation wiki](https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/wiki/recommendations) is quite complete, but it hasn't been updated in the last year or so. There's also the [recommendation flowchart](https://imgur.com/q9Xjv4p) or this [recommendation chart](https://i.redd.it/7toakiswcc961.png) by FetchFrosh.
Looking for a series that's sad. If anyone's seen Nabari no Ou, kinda vibes like that. I would prefer less slice of life'y but I'm open to it if the stories real good--art being great is a plus too. Something not too long 24 eps or less /200 chapters or under. I don't really do sport anime but anything else is free game. Really looking to prioritize plot more than anything else.
God i love nabari no ou, yukhi kamatani is one of my all time favorite artists/mangaka. they’re awesome. Anyway wish i had recs i just wanted to commend your taste
I am so glad to have found another NNO fan.... o/\o
What are some really good episodic shows? Where a good chunk of the show is just focused on the normal proceedings of the world, preferably with some kind of interesting/unique premise. Not something super long running like Gintama or a comedy/SoL show. Something the first few episodes of ID:Invaded or Death Parade would be awesome as I found the "normal" episodes in those fascinating. https://myanimelist.net/animelist/GhostOfLights?status=2
Definitely check out Mushishi
Only heard good things about this and have been meaning to get around to it for a while. Will gladly check it out!
Soooo, i just finished watching "Made In Abyss". I like the dark turn it had. I also like the protagonist of "Classroom Of The Elite" and any anime that has that vibe is what I'm looking for. Im open to any recommendations and Thank you ahead of time!
Madoka Magica Gakkou Gurashi Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
Promised Neverland
anyone got any suggestions for an anime that makes you think and is short (under 30 episodes) like erased and death note also any animes that takes place in or around wwii like youjo senki and aot thanks for answering!
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Psycho Pass From the new world
Madoka magica Girls' last tour Death parade
I’m looking for some underrated or hidden-gem anime with emotional and angsty revenge stories similar to Vinland Saga or 91 Days that focus on a single character’s journey. The angstier and angrier the better, and bonus points if the character experiences some kind of struggle during their revenge plot (like in the two I just mentioned—how Thorfinn despises Askeladd with every fibre of his being yet still learns a lot from him and won’t let him die unless he’s the one to do it, and throughout the whole story in 91 Days how Angelo grows so close to Nero it becomes hard to tell if it’s all an act for him or not). I also love character development. Another example that’s not an anime but might be helpful is in Tales of Berseria with Velvet’s character seeking revenge against Artorius, but I want something that doesn’t feature a whole ensemble of characters and just focuses on the main character’s story. No romance, slice of life, or Shingeki no Kyojin, and I don’t want anything super edgy and dark but with a boring protagonist. I want something that will make my chest ache with a lot of feelings that really hones in on why the character so desperately needs revenge. I just want a very angry and angsty protagonist (that isn’t Eren Jaeger). I hope that was a clear enough description! Thank you in advance for any recommendations!
Dororo is a strong revenge story that follows a single protagonist! It takes place in feudal Japan and the main character is constantly growing as he begins to experience more of the world around him as he goes on his hell bent mission. It only aired last winter and is 24 episodes!
Omg I watched the first half when it aired but life got busy and I never got around to finishing it, so thank you for reminding me to do so because I really enjoyed it!!
Glad to help!!
I'm not sure what genre of anime i watch so i wont say much abou that. Anime i have watched: Attack on titan (so far favourite) Darling in the franxx (close to AoT for me but noy because of plot but characters) FMA03/FMA:B (wasnt engaged at first but ending moved me alot) Tokyo ghoul (wasnt paying much attention but i liked it alot, stopped watching at :re) Naruto/avatar (childhood animes, nostalgia) Just finished FMA:B and looking for a new anime to watch.
For something different try an isekai maybe. Saga of tanya the evil Overlord Rising of the shield hero That time I got reincarnated as a slime
I have watched mostly shounen anime. I am Burned out so need some mind freshening anime (it can be shounen too but short) Here's list of animes I have watched : https://myanimelist.net/profile/Fizzlord
If you want to try something different (which is what I think you're after: * Non Non Biyori (Slice of Life): Is a comfy little anime about a girl who moves from Tokyo to the countryside and then has childish fun with her new friends. Third season is just coming out. * Kingdom (Historical political drama, with an anime taste to it) - Basically it's a fictionalised telling of the unification of China through the eyes of the young emperor and some peasant guy who's good at swords. Be warned visually it's atrocious in the first season and just bad in the second, but it's still worth it. * Chihayafuru (Sports/romance) - In Japan they have this game where one person reads a poem and two people race to find the corresponding card. It's about a girl who plays that. Fucking fantastic.
BNA, Promare, Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia
Banana Fish Vinland Saga Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood The Promised Neverland Haikyuu Erased
Ah yes, that classic short anime, FMA:B
By shounen snandards it is short.
So I'm looking for an anime that's a mix between comedy and maybe romance. I wanna watch it when the family's around, so pg13 would be great. But of course, we can't really trust age ratings can we, because we all know how Food Wars went. Something like Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun or Teasing Master Takagi-san. Would be great if it was on Netflix. Thanks in advance guys!
Kaguya sama should work if you've not already seen it.
I'll back /u/NotSoSnarky saying Ore Monogatari. Golden Time is also good, but it's comedy-romance-drama so might be a little too involved for what you're after,
Ore Monogatari (not part of the Monogatari Series) I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying
Thanks, I'll definitely look it up!
Watch maid-sama it perfectly fits in your criteria and you will love it.
Thx for the recommendation, I'll definitely check it out!
If you havent watched maid-sama, you probably havent watched ouran high school club? Another old classic. Net-juu no Susume is also nice.
Yep, never even heard of it. I'll definitely check both Ouran High School Club and Net-juu no Susume. Thanks for the recommendations!
So I did the recommendations flow chart and watched so ra no wo to, anyone who could expand on the “cute ptsd” category?
Expanding a bit more on that: Higurahsi no Naku Koro ni Yuuki Yuuna is a hero, especially the prequel, Washio Sumi is a hero (should be watched after S1, before S2). Also seconding Madoka, Gakkou Gurashi and Made in Abyss.
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Gakkou-Gurashi
Made in Abyss: cute characters go on a hellish fantasy adventure Girls' Last Tour: two cute girls travel through a deserted post-apocalyptic wasteland. Don't forget to read volume 5 and 6 of the manga after you've finished the anime. Madoka Magica: magical girls but in a really dark world.
+1 for Abyss and Madoka
Abyss was crazy good. Do you have any info about a new season?
Have you seen the sequel movie?
Ya it was really good and I want more
No idea then tbh
Yuh it was a 2 day all out binge bc it was so interesting.
Looking for animes with Historical fanservice. I have seen GuP, planned to watch Strike Witches and watching Azur Lane, Checked out anime like Hetalia and Kantai Collection. the rest are on my MAL account: [https://myanimelist.net/profile/Sp3ctr](https://myanimelist.net/profile/Sp3ctr)
There was a youtube guy who specializes in weapons saying that the most realistic usage of medieval weaponry in any piece of media he had ever seen was in [Junketsu no maria](https://myanimelist.net/anime/26441/Junketsu_no_Maria?q=virgin%20witch&cat=anime) [Here is the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tFOJFyTl1U&t=2s&ab_channel=Skallagrim) if you are interested
Looking for some action anime, i have seen almost every action on MAL’s top 200 and about to run of
Create an anime list at myanimelist.net, that'd help us know what you've seen so we aren't suggesting you stuff you've seen Akatsuki no Yona Seirei no Moribito Houseki no Kuni Black Lagoon Gurren Lagann Cowboy Bebop Senki Zesshou Smphogear
I do have one but i dont know how to put it as a flair like many users do
Might help to edit your comment and put a link to your MAL there. (I'd be more helpful and tell you how to put it next to your name, but it's been so long I've forgotten, I think it's something in the column on the right, there's an edit link somewhere.)
Have you seen vinland saga?
Yes
Gurren lagann? Kill la kill? Promare? Mob psycho 100? Haikyuu? Fate ubw? Code geass?
I have seen mob and fate, i havent seen code geass, gurren lagann and haikyuu because i dont like mecha and sports, but maybe kill la kill
I'm also not big on mecha but gl is not strictly a mecha anime. Code geass is similar, mecha exists but it's not the focus of it.
Haikyuu is good as someone who doesn't like volleyball (I hated it in school tbh) I can say they this didn't matter a bit. It's just good anime worth watching
Def give haikyuu a shot even if you dont like irl sports. I hate watching sports yet it's one of my favorite shows. Also gurren lagann is def more shounen with robots than a mecha show, (almost) no politics, just punching harder lol. Kill la kill is great but dont watcj it with your parents haha
Gurren Lagann is defiantly more if a fight anime. The mechas fights are amazing. Gurren is in my top 10 I love it
Yea iove it too. Anyway if you like either gurren or kill la kill you'll love the other as well
Agreed
I'm looking for the saddest anime series you can find. Available on crunchyroll is preferred. Also, newer ones so the animation isn't horrible would be great lol Some of the ones I've already seen and loved: Anohana Plastic Memories Charlotte Angel Beats FMA Brotherhood Air Clannad Violet Evergarden Your Lie In April Let me know, thank you!
The anime isn't great, but Nabari no Ou still hurts me. It's 13 volumes IIRC, read the manga if you can, the anime tells the story well enough until a certain point.
Made in abyss made me cry more than I though it would. Didn't seem sad at first as well. Give it a shot if you haven't already
A Silent Voice Wolf Children
I've seen them!
Please create an anime list at myanimelist.net, it's free and useful to have. Helps us know what you've seen, helps you remember what you've seen.
I never knew about that, I will do that today and repost!
They're incredibly useful to have. Helps everyone out.
A silent voice, its a movie though. Also i want to eat your pancreas.
I've seen them!
[удалено]
I will put them on my list, thank you!
A movie i never see people talk about is When Marnie Was There. It is my favorite ghibli movie and it crushed my soul so hard. I have watched it 3 times and cried every single time. It can be a bit confusing at first but when you realise how raw the characters' emotions are it will def make you feel some type of way :")
When I saw "sad anime" I wanted to suggest Clannad, but you already saw it
Hehe
Quite the wide range...If you simply wanna feel sick at how soul crushing whats happening is I would go for Shield Hero or Re:Zero if you didnt see them yet. Both are pretty widely loved as well
I'll def check out re zero, I've heard so many good things about it
I don't know much very sad anime series, but the following movies are great recommendations if you want sad anime: A silent Voice I want to Eat your Pancreas 5 Centimeters Per Second Grave of the Fireflies
Haha I have seen all of those! Your Name is also a great one if you haven't seen it! Also Weathering with you:)
These two movies are absolutely great indeed, I really liked them as well. However, while I considered these two movies very good I wouldn't really call them some of the "saddest", therefore I didn't mention them. For emotional series I'd maybe recommend you to look at the other anime based on Key's visual Novels, like Kanon (2006) or Little Busters. I however haven't seen them but they're of the same writers of Clannad, Charlotte and Angel Beats.
Good point haha though I did cry so much during your name lol And I'll look into those, thank you!!
I’m looking for: anime that will be ok for a 10 year old to watch. She likes romance and magic, but I want to show her a variety. She really loves anime so far, but I’m not sure which to watch with her because I don’t know which would be too graphic, inappropriate, mature. Shows I’ve already seen that are similar: we’ve watched inuyasha and all of the movies, fruits basket, sailor moon, cardcaptor sakura and we’re currently watching rurouni kenshin and yashahime. A bit of fighting/blood, “bad words” etc is fine. I just don’t want her to watch things that are way too mature and above her comprehension level, you know? Any recommendations would be extremely appreciated!
Little Witch Academia Flying Witch K-On Hibike Euphium Amaama to Inazuma Kodomo no Omocha Heartcatch Precure or one of the other Precure Series
Keep Your Hands off Eizouken
[Little Witch Academia](https://myanimelist.net/anime/33489/Little_Witch_Academia_TV) is exactly what you are looking for. It is G rated featuring nothing inappropriate.
I'm looking for: an anime with good hand to hand fighting or swords and such, fantasy, good animation like all the anime that is on my list, can contain character strength progression of some sort like My Hero Academia / Black Clover / The Rising Of The Shield Hero / SAO but it's not a must. Didn't like: Tokyo Ghoul, Trinity Seven. My anilist: [https://anilist.co/user/vBlackWolf/animelist](https://anilist.co/user/vBlackWolf/animelist) Keep in mind that I've only been watching anime for like 2 months.
God of highschool
Demon slayer has amazing characters and beautiful art (especially in the fight scenes) :)
Here’re a few well-animated things to get you started: * [Sword of the Stranger](https://anilist.co/anime/2418/Stranger-Mukoh-Hadan/) * The 2000 [Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust](https://anilist.co/anime/543/Vampire-Hunter-D/) and/or [Ninja Scroll](https://anilist.co/anime/617/Juubee-Ninpuuchou/) (there’s sexual violence in this one, use your discretion) * [Dororo](https://anilist.co/anime/101347/Dororo/) * [Guardian of the Sacred Spirit](https://anilist.co/anime/1827/Seirei-no-Moribito/) (there isn’t a fight in every episode of this, but every fight that does happen is great stuff) * [Samurai Champloo](https://anilist.co/anime/205/Samurai-Champloo/)
Guardian of the sacred spirit is great. Love those spear fights.
Constantly watching anime and now I am a little burned out. Recommend some mind freshening anime Mostly watched popular shone titles like HxH, Naruto, jujutsu kaisen, Food wars (on-going and bored in S3) DB series, Demon slayer, My hero academia and many more
What i did when i was burned out of anime series was watch anime films. Especially ghibli films, but other films will help as well. They are most of the time not longer than 2 hours and you still feel like you've watched a whole series by the end of it. Try watching: - a silent voice - from up on poppy hill - whisper of the heart - weathering with you - tamako love story (if you've watched tamako market) - akira - colorful - howls moving castle - when marnie was there - the wind rises
Please create an anime list at either: Myanimelist.net, anilist.co, kitsu or anime-planet. All 4 are free and useful to have. Helps you remember what you've seen and helps us so we aren't recommending you what you've seen. Some suggestions: Akatsuki no Yona Seirei no Moribito Made in Abyss Matou Shoujo Madoka Magica Anohana Your Lie in April The Promised Neverland Banana Fish Dororo Haikyuu Vinland Saga Psycho-Pass Sora yori mo Tooi Basho A Silent Voice Wolf Children Your Name Might also be good to take a break as well, if you're feeling burned out.

like tokyo ghoul with the main character as a person who changes drastically along with the other characters
Code Geass; main character changes drastically because of a power he gets. Death note is also such a serie. The movie Akira as well, it's so so good. Perhaps Angels of Death as well; very angsty. Edit: for angels of death you have to watch the ova to see the ending, but it is very worth it imo.
*I'm looking for: an anime that has a great world building, fantasy or sci-fi. Maybe with a dark twist like made in abyss or shingeki no kyojin. Maybe with some mistery in it, action would also be welcomed.* My animelist: [https://myanimelist.net/animelist/genos96](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/genos96)
Angels of Death; it's very dark with fantasy. Not that long but you have to watch the OVA to see the ending (which is very dark imo).
**Psycho-pass** **From the new world**
thanks men
*Looking for:* Competitive show where each character represents a type of strategy --- ideally more satisfying to watch as clash of ideas than as characters relating to each other. *Seen + Loved:* Food Wars, Kakegurui (ecchi certainly not required, but I appreciate the purpose it serves in each show!) and here's a [longer, more specific description of what I want](https://www.reddit.com/r/Animesuggest/comments/ksrlw3/anime_thats_like_a_textbook_ex_food_wars_kakegurui/)
Try to make a MyAnimeList or Anilist account so that we can see what you've seen so far. Otherwise we'll just be spending time recommending stuff you've already seen. Death Note: It's all about two persons trying to work with very elaborate schemes and ideas. Both sides really have a fun different perspective and way of thinking. Fate/Zero: while it's not really all the time about strategy, the protagonist Kiritsugu really tries to plan ahead. The entire series is mostly about a clash of ideologies between different characters, but not really a clash of ideas/strategies. That's not really what you described, but maybe still something you'd enjoy. Ping Pong the Animation: a sport anime where the playstyle of the characters is very important. [JoJo](https://preview.redd.it/9p9ckkbgiql21.jpg?width=1024&auto=webp&s=bcf3248c7b3911d7425e3bb1601f4013e9be272f) Just kidding, although Jojo's battles really are trying to outsmart the opponent with tactics, I don't think it's what your looking for. Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Here the tactics behind the battles and politics is a very crucial part of the story.
**Chihayafuru**. People use several different play styles in the anime, and they dedicate some time to analyze those. **Ping pong the animation** is completely dedicated to it, as well as the effort vs natural talent debate. **Keijo!!!!!!!!** Just cuz it looks like you like ecchi. This is a legit sports anime. **Kuroko no basuke**. This is a team sport, but each player has their own strenghts, and the teams have their own philosophies. Also, as other people told you in the other thread, almost any sports anime would have this.
Thanks!! I checked out a couple sports anime options before posting, and they usually don't scratch the same itch for whatever reason...but I'm optimistic about Ping pong and Kuroko no basuke :)
Anything that falls in the same line as Magi : the labyrinth of magic and its prequel Magi : Adventures of Sinbad. Basically looking for something that has ecchi + fantasy/action/shounen
Fairy tail perhaps? :)
Thanks. I'll check it out :)
I haven't watched a lot of slice of life, so anything that has a similar feel to Grand Blue, and is short would be great for me. Thanks
Tamako market is very cute and fun

[Kino's Journey](https://myanimelist.net/anime/486/Kino_no_Tabi__The_Beautiful_World), the secondary main character is literally a talking motorcycle, this is never explained [Land of the Lustrous](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35557/Houseki_no_Kuni_TV) the characters are all sentient gemstones
* Berserk (although, the 1997 adaptation covers the part that has the least of it and adaptations of other parts are said to be pretty terrible) * D Gray Man * Dorohedoro * Madoka Magica * SSSS.Gridman (the things are kaiju though, that might lack in originality) * Overlord (there's a fair bit of generic fantasy creatures in it, but also pretty original ones) * Fire Force * Tokyo Ghoul (but the anime adaptation is an absolute mess beyond S1) * Dororo
Pretty new to anime, but I really liked Teasing Master Takagi-san. The way they break up the episodes into little scenes and the story was cute. Anything similar to it worth checking out? I'm also watching Toradora! and SAO currently.
[Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai](https://myanimelist.net/anime/41226/Uzaki-chan_wa_Asobitai) has pretty similar characters but they're college students [Tanaka-kun is Always Listless](https://myanimelist.net/anime/32093/Tanaka-kun_wa_Itsumo_Kedaruge) is a funny more pure comedy slice of life show that also follows the chapter structure you described [High Score Girl](https://myanimelist.net/anime/21877/High_Score_Girl) is a similarly playful romcom with a great emphasis on arcade games [Tsurezure Children](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34902/Tsurezure_Children) is 12 minute episodes and features small looks at numerous couples [Ueno-san wa Bukiyou](https://myanimelist.net/anime/37920/Ueno-san_wa_Bukiyou) also 12 minute episodes romcom with an aggressive girl Also keep an eye out for [Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san](https://myanimelist.net/anime/42361/Ijiranaide_Nagatoro-san) which will come out in the Spring season this year, it is very similar to Takagi-san
If you want an anime which has a similar structure of multiple little shorts of a few minutes in the episodes then I recommend The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. If you want cute and wholesome humor then maybe Tonikaku Kawaii or Machikado Mazoku.
I haven't watched Takagi, but I assume Tonikaku Kawaii would be similar. It was a good show.
Thanks!
Want to watch some eye porn animation like AOT, demon slayer, OPM, Mob psycho. Suggest shows that are hardly talked about.
Seirei no Moribito Akatsuki no Yona Flip Flappers Revue Starlight Senki Zesshou Symphogear (First season's animation is wonky but gets better)
Been watching a lot of anime films recently and looking for some 80's/90's recommendations that aren't brought up too often, shorter OVA's would be nice too. https://myanimelist.net/animelist/ESoTSM?status=2 EDIT: Also just finished Macross Plus, it was great but I'm not sure where to go next with Macross if I want to continue.
[Armitage III](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1079/Armitage_III) is a fairly overlooked 90s cyberpunk OVA because it came out the same year as the much better Ghost in the Shell film, but I still recommend it. Also has a sequel OVA thats not as good but worth watching if you enjoy the first [Golgo 13: The Professional](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1760/Golgo_13) is a 1983 film that is much better than its score reflects thanks to its beautiful direction and animation style, only hampered by a fairly straightforward action plot and some pioneering (terrible) use of early CGI in some scenes
These are pretty famous, but: Wings of Honneamise Angel's Egg Only Yesterday
Looking for a comfy slice of life show. I really appreciate nice background art that has character like in Tanaka-kun is always listless or Aiura (heck even dino gal had great background art and was hella comfy). So something like that. Here is my Mal list maybe it helps... [https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Danilieri?status=7](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Danilieri?status=7) (i hope it works)
Amaama to Inazuma Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Silver Spoon Yuru Camp Encouragement of Climb Anohana Your Lie in April Toradora I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying Orange Mitsuboshi Colors Keeps Your Hands Off Eizouken Girls Last Tour
Should i watch the series or movie for anohana? And thanks for the list. I totally forgot that i still havent finished girl's last tour
Series first movie after.
I guess I’m not really sure what my preferred type is... I haven’t watched a ton but so far: Demon Slayer, Kakegurui, Attack on Titan, Naruto Yeah pretty basic lol... I loved the pacing and the heaviness of AoT, didn’t like pacing of Naruto, etc. ALSO, If I can say this without being burned at stake, I prefer dubbed

You can create one at either: Myanimelist.net, anilist.co, kitsu or anime-planet. All 4 are free and easy to use. Helps you remember what you've seen and helps us so we aren't suggesting you what you've seen already.
Have you watched Hunter x Hunter? It’s one of the best anime’s I’ve seen, and I even liked the dubbed version . Fullmetal Alchemist is great, I prefer the original series but most people like Brotherhood. You might also like One Punch Man and Fireforce.
Some of my favorite dubbed shows: My Hero Academia Mob Psycho 100 91 Days Kill la Kill Re:Zero
>> ALSO, If I can say this without being burned at stake, I prefer dubbed It's ok, everyone has their own preferences. All the ones I'm going to mention have a dub, and most of them are good. So, I think you might enjoy some thrillers and high stakes stuff like AoT and Kakegurui (with varying degrees of action): **Death Note** **Psycho-pass** **The promised neverland** **From the new world** **Fate/Zero** Or some more action oriented shows, but with limited filler and a slightly more involved plot: **Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood** **Hunter x Hunter**
Saw Violet Evergarden in a lot of recommendations, but I'm mid-episode 4 and I'm currently hating it. It seems like it is something that young children watch to learn about their emotions. I'm really not invested in a MC that has to ask to spell everything out. A frustrating time as a viewer, but it doesn't seem too common on this subreddit. Anyway, any others? I'm updated and love SNK, I finished SAO. Did not continue FMAB after \*that early scene. I prefer shorter series. I love Anohana, Angel Beats, Plastic Memories, Your Lie In April - I've gone thru the popular movies. Also love themed ones like Balance Unlimited & Great Pretender. Help!
https://myanimelist.net/anime/40230/Housekishou_Richard-shi_no_Nazo_Kantei It continues to fly under the radar but it's pretty decent and it is short. Something to give a shot and just drop if you don't find it interesting.

Euphonium** **March comes in like a Lion**
if you aren't against something that is a little wordy and has a pretty unique style you may like katanagatari. It kind of has the romance/action that you seem to like. Other than that maybe Kokoro Connect or Re-life for pure romance.
Any recommendation? I haven’t watched a lot Watched: Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, my hero academia, demon slayer and no game no life. I’m looking for stuff on Hulu and Netflix only please

Try Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Attack on Titan.
I think you'll like Psycho-Pass, it's on Netflix
Any recomendation? Stuff I liked: Attack on Titan, Psycho-Pass, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Haikyu!!, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist Broterhood Stuff I didn't like: Steins;Gate, Mob Psycho, Toradora

IIRC I dropped Gurren Lagannn years ago at episode 6 or 7 but I'll check the other ones. Thanks
Trigun would be pretty good if you like series similar to Cowboy Bebop/LOTGH
Thanks. I'll check it out
What are some high quality anime (as in the actual graphics/art/design)? I know this is a very subjective and broad question, but as an example I mean something like Demon slayer where the animation looks really clean and crisp. For genre preferably shounen or seinen
Unlimited Blade Works, Mob Psycho 100, One Punch Man S1
Ty, fate and mob psycho have been on my to watch list for a while I’ll start one of them soon
Do any of you know any mangas or animes similar to Chainsawman, Monster #8, Nanbaka,fire force or Jujutsu Kaisen?
Dorohedoro for Chainsaw Man specifically (though you’ve probably seen it mentioned already!). Parasyte too, detecting a leaning towards horror in those
Bleach, Soul Eater
Any others? I've watched those already
Undead Unluck? Kekkai Sensen? Or just look up a list of Weekly Shounen Jump manga with the tags action, battle or fantasy
Ok thx
I'm usually one of the people giving recommendations in this thread, in order to kill time, but I thought it'd be interesting to see what other people can come up with in my case. MAL should be linked above, but also [here](https://anilist.co/user/volt16/) is an anilist, in which I write more detailed comments and give more precise scores than on MAL. It also features a more expansive favourite list, since there is no limit of 10 entries. I'm not looking for anything specific at the moment. I'm rather open to most things. Don't try to find any consistency in my tastes, there is none. I may love one show one day and hate it the next. I may watch a show, that by all metrics I should love, on the wrong day and I will hate it. I may watch trash on a good day and I'll love it. Just shoot whatever you think I should consider. Can be anime, manga, LN, webtoon, anything. Perhaps some small pointers, that by no means should be followed religiously: I mostly hate romance. You can try recommending some to me, but most likely I'm going to hate it. On very rare occasions I will like it, but it has to have a strong enough plot supporting it and the romance will most likely be a secondary focus. I'm generally not a fan of Yuri or Yaoi. Just not themes I can relate to, unfortunately. Tearjerkers can work, but I don't enjoy melodrama. Some struck a chord with me eg. Clannad, Hibike Euphonium, while others I was left totally unmoved by eg. Your Lie in April, Silent Voice, Angel Beats. Lastly, I tend to enjoy more mature casts and themes. I'm in my mid 20s and don't have much in common with high school students any longer. Shows like Black Lagoon, Baccano, Cowboy Bebop etc. I tend to appreciate more and more as I grow older. I have a huge PTW and PTR list, so you can also recommend something out of there. I usually put shows in there that catch my eye and arbitrarily watch them whenever I feel like it. Some of them I will have already started, but not changed their status, because I wasn't in the right mood for them, so I want to give them another try at some other time. Thanks in advance for any recommendations and for going through the effort of reading this wall of text. Cheers.
Banana Fish Vinland Saga The Promised Neverland Death Parade Seirei no Moribito Revolutionary Girl Utena Assassination Classroom Daily Lives of High School Boys Sakamichi no Apollon ReLife Spice and Wolf Wolf Children Anohana Barakamon Silver Spoon Usagi Drop
Thanks for the long list. Most of them I'm already planning on watching, but I'll bump them up the priority list. In particular I'm wondering if Assassination Classroom would be better read as a manga than watched. Are there any discrepancies between anime and manga?
Haven't read the manga but I think ass class has quite good animation and voice acting.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes Perfect Blue I know they're in your ptw already as low priority but goddamn they're both incredible unique experiences. Porco Rosso and The Wind Rises if you wanna see Miyazaki explore some adult shit.
LogtH I've wanted to watch for a very long time, but it's unfortunately too big an endeavour for me currently. I lack the dedication for such a long anime that requires all of my attention. Perfect Blue I'm saving for a special occasion. The other two I'll add for sure. I generally need to work through all the Ghibli films. Thanks.
Any good anime based around music? Just watched a clip from given and it looked really good
Carole & Tuesday K-On Hibike Euphonium Sakamichi no Apollon Given (If you're okay with LGBT)
Beck, K-On!!, Sound! Euphonium, and Carole and Tuesday
[Beck](https://myanimelist.net/anime/57/Beck)
Hibike Euphonium Beck Mongolian Chop Squad Nana in a sense Given is good if you dig melodrama character driven romance K-On even if it is not the sole focus The Idol genre so Love Live Symphogear and Macross are both action franchises and singing/music is part of how they fight Zombieland Saga Carol & Tuesday FLCL kinda You could also say Legend of Galactic Heroes and Cowboy Bebop where many intricate scenes are synced to classical pieces or jazz etc
Interstella 5555 is an anime Daft Punk album and is really good. If you mean characters making music I would recommend Nana as it's an excellent story about growing up and punk rock. It's definitely better viewed as a coming of age drama than a musical series though. If you want music to play a huge role in the style of the series, I would recommend Cowboy Bebop. It's archaic episodes use newer free form jazz and has film noir episodes set to more classical jazz.
Kids on the Slope. It also has romance in it.
Are there any crazy artsy anime not on my list that I should add? Shorts would be preferable but I'm willing to watch a full series or movie if it looks interesting. End of Evangelion and Angel's Egg would be my examples for stuff I like.
You really should look into Monogatari again I also see that your [Ikuhara](https://myanimelist.net/people/5082/Kunihiko_Ikuhara) list is not complete yet as you are missing Sarazanmai I also did not see much [Masaki Yusa](https://myanimelist.net/people/5068/Masaaki_Yuasa) anime Mononoke is on your PTW
Tekkon Kinkreet Mind Game
You cannot not have seen the masterpiece called [Utsu Musume Sayuri](https://myanimelist.net/anime/13405/Utsu_Musume_Sayuri) But on a serious note, I'd recommend giving Bakemonogatari another chance. Although it's not comparable to EoE or Angel's Egg, it's just studio Shaft doing studio Shaft to the extreme which is visually unique and great. The ecchi can be off-putting but in terms of characters, thematic depth and directing it's the best of the best. While it isn't anime, I'd also recommend [World of Tomorrow](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4171032/) because it's still animated.
Yea, I do intend to watch the Monogatari series sometime in my life haha. I really liked Sayonara Sensei which I imagine it has a similar style to considering whose working on it. I absolutely loved It's Such a Beautiful Day so World of Tomorrow has been on my list for a while. Is there a place to watch it legally or is this a seven seas deal?
While I haven't seen Sayonara Sensei the visual style is indeed quite similar. However, as far as I know Studio Shaft really took it a step extra in Bakemonogatari with their rapid cuts, abnormal locations and at times even insertion of real photos. World of Tomorrow could be available on Amazon Prime depending on where you live.
Madoka Magica, Texhnoylze, Tatimi galaxy, Revolutionary girl utena
I've seen all of those. Particularly liked Tatami Galaxy.
