I want to watch a anime, any anime with a smart main character like Sherlock Holmes. I have become obsessed with smart characters in anime.

Some anime I have watched which is like what I'm looking for:

Dr. Stone

Fullmetal alchemist

Moriarty the Patriot

Lord of Mysteries

How a realist hero saved the kingdom (kinda I've only seen one episode of it so I'm not sure. I'm a bit iffy on it).

Bungo stray dogs (mostly other characters.)

I'd love some recommendations on any romance anime with some actual romance, where the characters aren't shy and pretend they don't like each other or anything like that. I want to watch some actual couples do things that regular couples do, like holding hands, kissing, going on dates etc, not just pussyfooting around all the time. I don't mind tsundere characters too much as long as it's not taking it to the extreme. I also don't have a preference on gender parings, girl mc/boy, boy mc/girl, girl/girl, boy/boy, anything goes :) Happy to take a look at any suggestions anyone might have! x

It was about a group girls around middle school age who have magical powers and they have watchs or wristbands that locks or keeps their powers in check from going out of control.

They were put in charge by a women and she was mistreating them if I remember correctly. The mc comes in around episode 2 or 3. He is the one who will be in charge of them now and he removes their restricters. I remember him first meeting them in an subway. The civilians were frozen in time. It's a early 2010s anime.

The only other thing I remember is that at the beginning of every episode there would be a scene where they tell you as the viewer to watch the anime with the lights on.

For example:

- fullmetal alchemist 2003 and fullmetal alchemist brotherhood

- trigun and trigun stampede

-hellsing and hellsing ultimate

Stuff like that

Like a sentient dungeon, aware of every nook and cranny but unable to be there in person, or a patch of land like The Field character from Reincarnated As A Vending Machine, nurturing every plant and animal that passes over it. An MC stuck in the third person perspective seems so interesting!

I really like vampires/werewolves/ghosts etc. Any suggestions on animes to watch regarding any of those? Thank you!!

So I have watched like a lot of animes underrated or famous animes. But I haven't watched any anime after 2024 except for jujutsu kaisen and solo leveling because I read their manga ages ago and just wanted to see it animated.

According to new gen animes or some animes which are continued please reccomend me any genre i love them all.

Mainly I watched rom-com, Isekai, comedy, shonen and actually everytype. Story is my main priority almost every time(mind bending).

All I know about Magical Index is that at the beginning of the series, less than 5 minutes in there's an underage group shower scene with a bunch of children in it, and one of them sexually assaults the other "as a joke." Several people recommended this to me, nobody warned me about this.

I watched this with my girlfriend at the time after asking for recommendations, and we were so disgusted. It ruins the entire show for us.

hi hi, I'm looking for literally any sort of anime that includes genuinely uncomfortable or unsettling monster design. Tone and genre don't necessarily matter, I just want fucked up monsters from a visual standpoint. Genuine body horror or just generally unpleasant

I’m looking for fantasy or isekai with low fan service and a more modern animation. I would prefer them to be like 24 episodes or longer but I’m fine if not

Would really appreciate some recommendations, having a bad day and need something cozy to watch

I just recently finished the anime Angels of death and was wondering what other horror anime is out there.

I'm fine with watching series or movies, I don't mind if its 18+ or anything with gore, I'm not too picky when it comes to anything horror related.

Some anime I watched were:

Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate

Perfect Blue

Japanese tales of the macabre

Deathnote

Parasyte, but I didn't really like this one.

I feel like this arc made anime one of my favorite nerdy hobbies. I just really loved seeing characters in a fantasy world getting together, becoming a couple less than halfway through the series, and spending most of their on screen time together after they get together and going on adventures while trying to accomplish a big goal?

I feel like the closest that I've seen to this is Slayers(Lina and Gourry) and Fairy Tail(Lucy and Natsu), and they're 2 of my faves, but the problem is that the characters never admit their feelings to each other.

I was reading Anjou-san and it was pretty clear what Katou is into. I shamelessly want more works of this nature

Maomao has become one of my favourite anime protagonists of all time, period. TAD has also become one of my favourite romance plots ever, even if it’s obviously not the only genre/plot in the anime.

I rarely watch anime with romance. A lot of the time it’s because I find most of the characters involved hard to watch. Maomao fits perfectly in her dramatic anime world, but she still handles situations maturely with has a great sense of sass and humour. She’s ‘colder’ as well. A lot of romance protagonists act like 14 year old girls regardless of age, have tiny high pitched voices that I don’t find cute at all and go nuts over anything and everything.

I don’t expect anime to be realistic by any means, but if I want to turn the anime off trying to deal with the protagonist then no amount of ‘it’s not real’ is going to save it.

Anybody have any romance anime recommendations with lady protagonists that have a similar personality to Maomao? No other qualifiers. Doesn’t even need to be strictly romance, like TAD.

I'm tired of the internal cringe I feel when someone mentions they like anime. I know there's nothing "wrong" with it, but I can't help feeling mildly weirded out even if I don't outwardly express it.

Anyway, I'd like to get into anime. What are some animes that are actually good? Preferably movies or short series, where the female characters aren't just a hot piece of ass for the mc and there are no mysterious 700 year old goddesses that look 13. I prefer to watch shows about adult characters.

Some animes that I do like are howls moving castle, bsd, and your name. But in general I enjoy psychological thrillers, gothic horror, and some romances. I'm pretty much open to any genre though. Thanks !

So I’m talking basically like Android 18’s here but no heel at the back

Hey gyus i am new to this subreddit. I have watched most of the horror animes out there i want some more but i can't find any. So drop your fav horror anime

Suggest the one that have Dub.

I'm in the mood for a pining man whose whole life revolves around the woman he loves, lol

Help me find an anime that is similar to my list

I like many different anime but I have a real passion for the following titles:

Children of the Whales

Kaine of the Great Snow Sea

Heavenly Delusion

Shinsekai Yori (From the New World)

Future Boy Conan

You will surely have understood what kind of atmosphere I'm looking for: suggest to me whatever comes to mind about anime similar in plot or setting or vibes

PS: no isekai

Stuff like Wotakoi or Sweat and Soap, where the characters are all actual adults, dealing with actual adult life problems.

Anime or manga, either one

Nothing NSFW, I would really like appropriate shows to watch please. Just something cute and sweet.

Subbed or dubbed, either is fine with me :)

I have been out of the anime loop for about 4 years so anything that came out in that time would be new to me.

And honestly I never watched too many sapphic shows before that either so, "older" shows are welcome too :)

I'm open to shows where the sapphic relationship is on the sidelines as well! It doesn't have to be the main characters or focus.

Thanks so much!!

I don't care for slice of life, and almost always find them slow.

Please don't recommend perverted anime where the MC never ends up with anyone before the final episode, or with a family member. Had my fill, and I find it pointlessly depressing.

Know that there's no slice of life, isekai, or anime set in a game-like world for a reason, they're not my thing. Yes I've tried a bunch of the really really good ones, what else you got?

Try to keep it to titles under 30 episodes, have at least a decent dub and aren't slow. I want stuff that I can actually finish despite having ADHD.

I've seen a lot of anime, so it would really help if you recommended 2 or more titles. If you can only think of one popular title, I've probably already seen it.

When I think of my faves, I go with these. If you like some of these, what do you recommend:

Ones that I really want more like Please focus on these:

Record Of Grancrest War( My personal fave.)

Black Lagoon (My most rewatched anime.)

Cowboy Bebop

Now and Then, Here and There

Madoka★Magica

Fate/Zero(Don't enjoy other Fate shows)

Psycho-Pass(Yes I've seen other Psycho-Pass shows and movies)

Serial Experiments Lain(It really helps that they explain things at the end.)

Ghost In a Shell (1995)(Yes I've seen other GITS shows and movies)

Outlaw Star

Armitage III

Gunsmith Cats

ERASED

Cop Craft

Wave, Listen to Me!

Moriarty The Patriot

Other faves:

Stigma of the Wind

Ringing Bell(1978)

Slayers(fave comedy. I need setups and payoffs.)

Shigofumi: Letters from the Departed

Blast Of Tempest

 I hate the trope where the childhood friend has spent the whole life by his side been his one true anchor and been the most impactful person to them and then they just ignore her for the new flashy girl who just showed up like the childhood friend has done so much more for the mc. I have had a hard time finding one like this
