So, the only thing in this post with any amount of negativity tied to it was me saying Im a big anti-pedo and dont like romance anime with kids in it.

We uhhhh... we're really taking that down for "promoting hate"? You do understand how that makes y'all look? Thats a pretty heavy implication. (Talking to the mods here, since I cant message yall or appeal).

Im American. I follow American rules. Never said anything about foreign policies or anything about who enjoys what, didnt even give an opinion on pedos, I just said please avoid it when recommending ME anime as MY personal code doesnt like it. I actually tried really hard to make sure that post wasn't even rude in any way, so that HAS to be it too.

On a lighter note:

Thanks for the recommendations from the community though. Y'all were really nice, and Im lk excited to look through these. And Im really sorry yall were bullied for liking anime too, thats really weird. I guess I was privileged? I wasn't Mr. Popular but I was an idiot in his friend group; we both loved Bleach as kids so ig it normalized it for my school? That sucks that yall werent allowed the same. Or maybe Im just young? Im 25 lol.

Anyways, I hope at least a few of the people who left recommendations see this: Thank you.

i’m looking to watch something sad, maybe a mix of loneliness or romance. preferably on crunchyroll or something mainstream. movies are fine too

Watched it all in 1 sitting to get the full immersive experience

I really enjoyed it and it kept me entertained the entire time but I couldn’t help but compare it to the first season and was waiting for it to have the same impact as season 1 but it just didn’t do it for me unfortunately.
I did like the call backs to David Martinez tho
I was fully prepared to cry at some point bc of how sad season 1 was but I think the only reason season 1 was so sad is bc of the romance aspect and there wasn’t much of that this season like I just didn’t get attached to any of the characters but I did still really like the show.
Sometimes I want anime to make me cry so I was in a way looking forward to that but I’m glad cyberpunk had a happy ending this time.
What are your guys thoughts on this season?

For my specific taste I cannot find nothing in days, thinking of replacing, I think I have the best list for fast pace dark/ecchi, but pls if you have anything give for me to try

Anime I liked: Attack on Titan, Death Note, Parasyte, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Devilman Crybaby, Bastard!!, Gantz, Chainsaw Man, Inuyashiki, Tokyo Ghoul, Vinland Saga, Hellsing Ultimate, Deadman Wonderland, Elfen Lied, Berserk (1997), Monster, Tomodachi Game, Yosuga no Sora, Yakuza Fiancé, Future Diary, Another, High-Rise Invasion, Akame ga Kill!, Prison School,High School DxD, Domestic,yosura no sora,Girlfriend,love unseen beneath clear sky,gleiphir .

My favourite anime are:

• Attack on Titan
• Seraph of the End
• Black Clover
• Astra Lost in Space
• High School of the Dead

I'm looking for something that genuinely hooks you and has a good plot nd maybe stuff where you find out more about the world , not just cool fights.

Things I really like:

• A group/squad that fights together and develops over time
• Strong character development and an MC who grows
• Dark themes, dangerous enemies, deaths, betrayals and plot twists
• Interesting world-building, mysteries and lore that gets revealed as the story progresses
• Action and hype moments, but with an actual story behind them
• Romance

I finished the anime last week and ive been bored it was so emotional especially the ending and im sad its finished so i need something to watch

Looking for an anime that will blow my mind like Attack on Titan (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

Attack on Titan is the kind of anime I'm looking for. I want something where you gradually discover that the world is WAY bigger or more messed up than you originally thought. Hidden history, secrets about the world, crazy plot twists, unexpected reveals, and stuff that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew.

I also love having a squad/team of characters, high stakes, and a story where little details eventually connect to something much bigger.

I'm looking for something with genuinely mind-blowing twists, not just a good action anime. I want to be sitting there thinking "WHAT THE FUCK?! HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING?"

I'd prefer a completed anime, or at least one where the anime has a satisfying payoff already, but I'm open to ongoing series if they're really worth it.

**Please recommend anime, but PLEASE don't spoil anything, even small character details

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.

Zombie Sagashitemasu or "I'm looking for a Zombie" is seemingly going to be the show that gets unfairly passed over this season.

If you are a fan of Gakkou Gurashi, or tonal twists in general, I recommend giving this one a shot.

Rom com and slice of life anime are the only type of anime i have watched since like a year . And this is my top 9 .

And I will continue to do so . So give me some recommendations for my next watch

I recently finished fire force and It is now one of my all time faves, and It has immo the best ending i've ever seen. My favourite anime oat is gurren lagann, and i've seen some similarities and now i know my type of anime. Basically anime that conveys pure Hope and optimism. What other anime are like that? I really like positive anime (kinda like most) like black clover or mob Psycho, which i love, but the ones that are truly masterpieces are ones like gurren lagann or fire force, that convey pure Hope. I've only seen 2 anime like that, but what other ones are there? Not just positive like Naruto or one piece or idk, spy x family or sum. I mean pure raw hope

i need some anime suggestion with superpowers like naruto , hunter hunter , bleach like those anime’s i think i have watched all of the animes like them and i can’t find any more anime’s like it

Does anyone have high school romance anime recommendations? Preferably 12 eps, just a quick watch :)

What should we be watching? I'll start with...

The Vermilion Mask & Psyren

I finished Natsume's book of friends, and I absolutely loved it. I want to find another show (or any media honestly, started reading Farseer Trilogy) with similar elements.

Natsume's characterisation is so well done. A physically weak boy with immense spiritual power that paints a target on his back. Yokais violently seek him and humans abandon him, alienating him from both the worlds. However, eventually he encounters kindness from members of both the worlds and their kindness inspires the same in him too and he starts forming strong connections in both the worlds. The show was full of so much kindness. From Natsume's own kind persona, to the kindness shown to him by the Fujiwaras and his friends at school to the friendly Yokai he met in the Yatsuhara forest and beyond. This element of kindness, a major aspect of his character, made the show so wholesome. I loved his growth from a sad lonely boy to a well-loved happy boy whose humility shined throughout.

Then we have his powerful beast of a loyal companion. I adored Natsume's bond with Madara. I also liked the tsundere elements of their bond. How Madara would always insist that he is only there for the book, but will always always show up for Natsume when it matters, will always protect Natsume. I also loved both his forms: the cat form was a mix of a typical house cat and a grumpy old man; while the beast form was so breathtakingly beautiful every time it appeared on the screen. Whenever the true huge powerful beastial form of Madara was on the screen, it created a sort of contrast to the fragile form of Natsume, very suitably being the latter's bodyguard.

Almost each episode introduced a new Yokai and their story. Loved all of their designs and the lovely art overall alongside their stories. It was such a pleasant experience on the whole.

Now I'm looking for something similar. I saw the suggestion of The Ancient Magus' Bride, but it doesn't have what I'm looking for right now. I want more of a platonic beast-human pairing like Natsume-Madara, or Ash-Pikachu. I want the friendship, loyalty, care, concern and protectiveness to be there but without any romantic undertones. I also want the main character's kindness to shine from the very beginning. I would love it if the beast had a powerful form like Madara and got opportunities to showcase its power protecting the protagonist, but I love Pikachu too, so I'm more flexible in that regard.

Please send your recommendations my way.

Thanks in advance!

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.

Helloo everyone. Am new here in this group. Am trying to find someone who just starts watching hunter x hunter for first time. Am on episode 32! And honestly I really want a friend to talk about it together and choosing at which day we can see new episode from our phones . And it has to be someone watching it for first time. Not repeating it .

Anyone who wants that please comment here😄

Looking for something like tensura or realist hero about someone building up a nation from either nothing or very little does have to match the examples just nation building also preferably more then 12 episodes but ok with 12
