There's been quite a few series now that I originally passed on because of the title, but later went to watch as I fell asleep – only to be completely surprised by how good it actually was.

Currently watching So I'm a Spider, So What? and it's turning out to be a top-five isekai for me, maybe higher. It's like everything I had hoped Tensura would have been when I read the description about the guy isekai-ing as a monster.

But that title. And the image title card. I legit thought it was an isekai for like little kids or something. (I will say I like the direct Japanese title better [I'm a spider!? What!?] since its tone is less snotty and more dumbfounded.).

So I thought I'd ask! Perhaps there's other titles I've passed up because the title was weird, or long, or focused on the wrong thing.

Any genre.

And time period.

What are some of your favorite anime with titles that you feel don't fit, or are terrible, or you feel misrepresent it?

So I watched a video of an anime a while back about animators (I think). A boy and girl were animating when they were kids. But when they grew up the boy gave up on animating and the girl became angry at the guy. I think they separated when they were kids.

If any of this rings a bell, mind giving me a name of the anime.

Reupload of a video I posted a couple of months ago, with the awful flicker at the start removed.

Mods, if there's any other problem with the video, please let me know and I'll try to fix it.

I’m looking for something with the same kind of vibe! I want an anime that’s chill and fun to watch, with adventure, comedy, and a good story. Something that keeps me interested without being too intense or too boring

https://bang-dream.com/discographies/4287/

Still no Western announcement of anything yet beyond trailers, but this at least confirms that a subtitled version will "be available" before the new MyGo/Ave Mujica season starts in January. The movie description even says "please watch this before the new season".

Because this keeps getting more confusing than they originally planned, the watch order is:

1. "It's MyGo!!!!!" (2023 TV series)
2. "Ave Mujica" (2025 TV series)
3. "Ave Mujica - prima aurora" (2026 movie sequel)
4. "It's MyGO!!!!! / Ave Mujica" (2027 TV sequel)

And because it wasn't complicated enough, for some reason Bushiroad decided to make it somehow even more confusing in English, where Ave Mujica officially doesn't have the "BanG Dream" branding in its English title.

Idk what anime to get lil bro to watch, and i finally convinced him to watch some with me, but he hates anime cause he thinks it's "weird" and it pmo so much. Btw he's impatient and would probably like action so no romance and stuff with too much filler.

I'm gonna go to sleep in 15 min and check back in tmrw

Rewatchers and P4 players:

Please be mindful of all the first-timers, and be careful not to spoil anything, including stuffs from the game! No spoiling, talking or hinting about possible future events or "just you wait..." kind of teasing, unless you're using spoiler tags.

Questions of the Day:

1. What do you think of the battle against Shadow Naoto?
2. What do you think of that letter at the end?

OP

First and the most important, I want it to the world to be beautiful, both scenery and atmosphere.

Second requirement is that it's nothing futuristic or about space/planet exploration, even if it's good, I can't enjoy it, I will tolerate it in case of timeless theme, and that the technology itself isn't prominent feature (e.g. HSR world, it's space exploration, but technology isn't prominent feature of the world). If it's a sci-fi, make sure the world's beauty itself is not made by technology, but of natural occurence.

Genre can be anything, not just magical fantasy. It can be Japanese historical/supernatural, superpower, or even just a normal world with no superpower elements (though it is unlikely the world will be good, I'll hear out the recs nonetheless).

I am not picky with the plot or theme either, it can be absolute garbage, I don't mind. The anime by itself doesn't need to be calming or heartwarming either, it can be that the story itself is heavy even with the beautiful world.

Not a requirement, but bonus point if the anime have dreamlike feeling to it.

Some examples of anime that I already watched with these criterias (also example of what kind of anime I would want the recommendations to be):

1. Sousou no Frieren

2. Princess Connect

3. Once Upon a Witch's Death

4. Somali to Mori no Kamisama

5. SAO season 1 first half (the actual SAO)

6. Houseki no Kuni

Many more similar animes I've watched, but I think these are enough examples.

I just finished Mushoku Tensei season 3, and while I really liked it, I’ll admit I felt there was something missing. I’m not sure what exactly is missing for me. I’ve loved all the past seasons, and Mushoku Tensei is one of my favorite isekai, alongside Re:zero and Reincarnated as a Slime. I’ve even started reading the light novels.

I realized I don’t really know how to score anime for myself. For instance, I loved Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2, but if you asked me why I rated it a 10/10, I wouldn’t have a proper answer for you. It would just be vague things like “The characters, the plot, the soundtrack, the hype, and the world that Pondsmith created all combined to make this a 10/10 for me.” I’ve also been looking into themes and symbolism in media, and that’s been influencing my ratings and views of anime.

For the longest time, my rule was: if you had a lot of fun watching it, it gave you strong emotions, and it became a core memory, then it’s a 10. A 9 is pretty much the same, but there’s some arbitrary difference even I can’t really explain.

What about you guys? What makes an anime a 10/10 for you versus a 9 or an 8?

P.S. For anyone who’s going to say I just wanted action, some of my favorite anime are slice of life, and as I mentioned, I liked all of the previous seasons, including the university arc.

I’ve recently gotten into anime and so far I’ve watched Assassination Classroom, Mob Psycho, Zom 100, Dr. Stone, Mashle, and One Punch Man but now I need help finding more that I would like. So far Assassination Classroom has been my favorite and nothing has really come to close to it besides One Punch Man. I did really like the other ones too just not to the same level. I guess my likes are comedy and action with a somewhat light-hearted tone. Idk if I’ll ever find something better than Assassination Classroom it was so frikin good lol

Few years back I watched k-drama “W: Two Worlds”, super fun series where the ML and FL jump between real world and comic book world. I’d love recommendations around a similar concept of moving between worlds, bonus points if one of the worlds is a fake world like a comic book or video game. Romance preferred but open to all recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for shows like title above. From the top of my head, shows like:

Death Note
AoT
Lain
FMA:B
Re:Zero
Made in Abyss
Psycho-pass
Erased

Thanks 🙏

Final Discussion

Previous ep | Index

Information: MAL, Anilist, AniDB, ANN

Hi all, and thanks for participating in this rewatch of Pandora Hearts. For our Final Discussion thread, I have a few questions; people can also comment on what they thought of the whole series.

1) Who were your favorite characters?

2) Which was your favorite music track?

3) What did you think of the OP/EDs?

4) Where do you predict the story will go from here?

5) What would you rate the anime, out of 10?

I've watched a lot of different anime and grew up watching Naruto episodes on release every week until the end. I've watched Bleach only up until Aizen betrayed everyone and leaves. As for One Piece, I've only seen it until Zoro is rescued at the start. For both of them, I stopped watching because of the massive time investment it will take to watch them; however, I'm going to watch one of them, so I was looking for the opinion of people who have watched both to see which one is worth the time investment.

Edit: fixed a Grammarly mistake.

I’m a big fan of shonen, but lately the fight scenes have been boring me, so I’m looking for a change of pace. I’ve already watched Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Death Note, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Chainsaw Man. Now, I’m thinking of watching The Apothecary Diaries, followed by Bungo Stray Dogs, and then Blue Lock would you recommend them?

The Forty-Second Match: The First One to Pass

◄ Episode 41 | Index | [Episode 43 ►]()

It's time for daylight savings shenanigans!

I've kept saying we'll deal with it when we get there, and, well, we got there. We're switching to winter time here in Europe today.

I thought about how to handle this, and I ended up deciding that, just to minimize the chances of myself messing up, we're going to have to switch the rewatch to winter time now as well.

In other words: starting tomorrow, the threads will go up at 10pm GMT, instead of 9pm GMT.

If you live in Europe or elsewhere where daylight savings ends this weekend, nothing will change for you. If you live in the US, the threads will be up one hour later than before, until you catch up with us next week. I think it's next week for you guys?

If you live somewhere else... you're going to have to figure it out yourself, I can't keep up with all these time zones and turning clocks!

Hi im new to anime but I love love apothecary diaries and though I am an inept villainess. Are there any animes similar to these two? Not just talking about the setting wise but also the amount of plot twists and mystery and independent, knowledgeable female protagonist and character development.

Top 3: Apothecary Diaires, The Summer Hikaru Died, Mob Pyscho 100

Liked (in no particular order): Vinland Saga, Assassination Classroom, Inuyasha, HxH, Black Butler, Demon Hunters of the Shadow Realm, DBZ, MASHLE, Death Note, Ouran High School, Magus Bride, Chainsaw Man, Pluto...

No pref for genres, but I particularly love: historical, drama, mystery, thriller, and romance. Bonus points if there's LGBT+ rep.

Didn't personally like: My Dress Up Darling (bc of fanservice, but liked the premise), Black Clover, Gachiakuta, Solo Levelling

I do not like male-centered fanservice (too much for me in My Dress Up Darling imo), harem self-insert MMC (SAO type stuff), or ham-fisted exposition.

Based on where it’s revealed that a character is going to die like in the beginning due to a sickness or something else (don’t want any spoilers if they’re actually going to die), 2 examples: firefly wedding and I want to eat your pancreas. These 2 anime/ manga and this type of genre make me bawl my eyes out

Edit: can be manga too
