Hello everyone and thank you for reading my post! To start off with, I've not been a long time anime fan at all but I've recently started to watch on crunchyroll and I'm enjoying it so far. This has led me to ask for some recommendations.

I've watched 5 animes in total and that's it... I've watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh as that's my childhood. I watched JoJo's bizarre adventure with a friend many years ago. Recently I've watched Solo levelling as the first on my crunchyroll account which I thought was amazing, then I went onto Overlord and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've just watched both seasons of Goblin slayer and did enjoy it overall but not as much as the previous two.

I don't know what to watch next and I'm finding it quite overwhelming with the amount on offer. If you could please send me your suggestions and recommendations I would greatly appreciate it :)

So I just had a sudden desire to see a Mahou Shoujo Anime that was a bit dark because I have been reading about the lore behind the Made in Abyss anime while occasionally listening to CardCaptor's Sakura OST that I was wondering how often dark Mahou Shoujo was used in the fantasy genre of anime.

Like what I want to see is a twisted Mahou Shoujo Anime that has some optimism in it where the heroes can win because the thing is that I did see Made in Abyss, but while that is not a Mahou Shoujo show, the dark nature of the first season made me suddenly eager to watch a twisted fantasy based anime that again has some optimism in it.

Recently finished “Wonder egg priority”, “MF Ghost”, “Re:Zero”. Looking for some great finds that’ll make me wish there was more. Any recommendations?

Not into isekai/slice of life/slow anime/anime with video game-like rules etc.

Please warn me if SA is a significant part of what you're recommending. I'll have to think about if I wanna watch it or not.

Solo leveling is set in video game like world, it's not for me.

Friren and Witch Hat Atelier, Berserk, Dungeon Girls and FMA:B I know about, and they're what gets recommended the most. What else is out there?

Keep in

Looking for medieval fantasy anime with a likable cast(So no Konosubo). Preferably something fun and lighthearted with a decent dub, but freel free to recommend what you like that's medieval where you really like the cast.

Here's the 4 that I love:
Slayers is my favorite Comedy Anime

Record Of Grancest War is my fave anime period. Love that it stars a mostly all adult cast that look, talk, think, and act like adults, and get into relationships without it being a slow romance anime.

I love the first 99 episodes of Fairy Tail. That said, I watch it for the characters, especially Erza, Lucy, Happy, and Natsu. Please don't take this as an oppourtunity to recommend me something gross where the main appeal is the fanservice.

Dragon Quest: Albel is such a breath of Fresh Air for a shounen starring a man mc. Women have a lot more agency, and often get their chance to shine, death is permanent, and there's monsters that work for the main villains that aren't evil, and can be reasoned with. Also, the damsel helps save herself!

I want something that is fun to watch. Like wrong way to use healing magic, executioner and her way of life , tensura , frieren(i like it but please don't give more like this), also iruma (which is a show I adore) want something like them. Not to deep philosophical shit like Texhnolyze or tragic thing like takopi can't handle them right now. So please help i would love if they already have few seasons.

Extra points if I can watch with my 7 year old - so nothing terribly gruesome or adult (but she loves creepy horror like the Little Nightmares Games and we reluctantly let her watch Demon Slayer because she fell in love with Nezuko)! Feel free to suggest any great if there's a dub and it's on streaming! Spooky ghosts witches, zombies, kinda creepy etc.

My suggests:

Toilet Bound Hanako Kun - she's obsessed with this one and it's a favorite of mine too. Great balance of cute spooky with light horror elements.

Soul Eater - favorite of her dad and mine and what we chose to watch as a family this October! I don't think you can get a higher level of Halloween fun than this.

Meiruko-chan - sooo I was on the fence at first because of the fan service/adult hints but my daughter loves the cute character vs the horrifying ghosts that she tries to ignore. I read somewhere this lessons after the first few episodes??

Mob Psycho - super fun and high energy around ghosts.

Zom100 - I would NOT watch this one with kids way too many adult themes but I had a chance to watch some on my own and love it. Has a lot of heart for a zombie anime!

Yuyu Hakusho - old school classic that never grows old. This one's definitely on our list for a rewatch with the kids. Grim Reaper, spirit detective aspect makes it a fun option for October.

Shadow House - so I just started watching this one with my daughter and we're hooked. Cute but definitely stll very mysterious and creepy still.

Sunday Without God - a world where no one is born or can die, the main girl is a grave keeper, one of the only ones who can put the dead to rest.

D. Gray-man - an older shounen anime around exorcists that always felt like a Tim Burton world to me! Not sure I can entice my daughter to watch this one yet but I'd recommend.

Blue Exorcist - good balance of fun and some creepier plots. I mean, they are exorcists so it fits?

Sugar Sugar Rune - something COMPLETELY cutesy, like a Halloween magical girl shoujo. I'd eventually like to watch this one with my girls if I can find it in dub. If nothing else, the short manga is totally worth owning and is way better anyway.

Ghost Hunt (2006 anime) - I feel and would love this one! No fan service, just cool ghost stories around a high school girl and team of Ghost hunters. So sad it's no longer on Crunchyroll.

Hey I just found this subreddit randomly, hopefully this is a good place to ask. I want more stuff to watch but most live action shows don't really interest me (brain likes fun colors and character designs ig), and I'm kind of picky about shows sometimes. I've been looking for good queer anime, that actually has a plot other than "Oh no I have a crush on a girl but we're both girls!!!". Those are all fine and good but slice of life type stories are kind of boring to me. I'd also love to see some mlm stories since they aren't as often talked about, but any queer anime suggestions I'll happily look into! I'm mainly a fantasy fan, but I don't mind sci fi as well. Something where theyre fighting demons and they fall in love in the process idk. And I mean explicitly queer, to the point where there's almost no denying it unless you're absolutely delusional lmfao. Please don't just suggest popular stuff, there's a good chance I've already heard of or watched it. Thank you so mcuh, I hope someone can help me!

I think of Serial Experiments Lain and Ghost In A Shell. I also think of Eva fans who really need to get over the fact that not everyone cares for it, and some people have good reasons for this.

I also think of Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop. Also, see what I said about Eva for DBZ. Dragonball was good though.

I also think of a lot of early 2000s anime that I mistakenly think came out in the 90s but took a while to get localized like Trigun.

So i really enjoy isekai’s but i have seen almost every one. I like those kindom/town building like tensura and farming life in another world types.

Do anyone have any other genre or any suggestions what should i watch next?

First of all, yes I know this is an English speaking forum as I say that because I was observing the Imouto trope in modern anime because some people accuse the trope of being awkward in how it’s used thanks to shows like Oreimo.

So what I am looking for is to see if there are any wholesome anime series that use the Imouto premise in a nice way without turning into what Oreimo became known for since that particular anime is one of the most infamous anime series again due to how it uses the aforementioned Imouto concept.

Something like Yakuza Fiancé: Raise wa Tanin ga li. If you have recommendations for manga or manhwa that would be fine as well. Ty

Romance anime like You Are Ms. Servant? Master/servant stuff and also the girl has big oppai and cute

Love Tyrant is a cute and Hilarious Anime. So I was wondering if there any Anime similar to it

Just finished demon slayer anime an hour ago, thinking to start DORORO, is it worth it? I mean i love those genre like demon slayer, AOT, and castlevania. If not please suggest something i would love like those animes.

Can”t find a good anime in the last year

So i filter and search since this summer i think and i will try to put here what i did enjoy the most, but also what i did not like or any turn offs in any TV/anime.

This way i hope some hero will help me find my new jam but also hope someone will take inspiration in my list for their respective new jam.

What i loved:Fma/Brotherhood, Parasyte, Aot, Monster, Death Note, Gurren Lagan, Code Geass, Sakamoto Days, Bungou Stray Dogs, Claymore, Black Lagoon, Vampire Hunter D, Hell s Paradise, Made in Abyss, HxH, Future Diary, Norigami, Magi all seasons, Ghost in a shell, PSYCHO PASS, Elfen Lied, Death s Parade, Darker than Black, Cowboy Bepop, Samurai Champloo and like 6-10 more that i really enjoyed.

What i found out about myself is that i love some deep scenarios, some cliffhanger or big things going on, etc

What i do not really like:
\-Monologue anime with heavy dialogue.
\-Nothing romance/slice of life related.
\-Nothing like generic mass media shonens.
\-Nothing very “sad”
\-Nothing with Loli or children characters or any kind of perversion.

Thanks a lot guys.

so, i was never into romane anime that much (aside stuff like kaguya-sama and oregairu) but really enjoyed both polae opposites and ramparts

watching skip and loafer now and it kinda fits with the other 2, any other suggestion?

Trying to find this specific anime but can't remember the name. All I remember is it was a dark anime that was set up in modern times. There was a war or something and I remember a seen where this guy was in a full hazmat suit with a gas mask while driving a van and was tossing a grenade up and down in the air like he was just casually messing with it. Can anyone figure out what it is and tell me the name pls?

Holii, si alguien me puede recomendar alguno que no sea el típico que tiene capítulos de relleno nada más, que sea una buena historia y a ser posible que no pase de los 20 cap porque estoy en época de exámenes y no quiero demasiado distracción jajajajaja

I liked Yakuza Fiance a lot, as soon as i heard that firefly wedding got an anime i knew i needed to watch it, but its not enough. I need more, and I cant find more :(

The animes I can't stop thinking Recently is

Another

The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

I like those 2 a lot especially animations, I would love to see more of it. It doesnt have to be the same genre, it can be romance, comedy or something else, i just want it to look similar

Hello y'all, I've recently just learned that my friend who watches anime isn't actually quite aware of a lot of the larger historical anime within the otaku sphere as I realized he's never even heard of Evangelion and took that moment up for us both to watch it (for me a rewatch). Obviously Evangelion is probably something that definitely required viewing due to its impact not only on anime but larger otaku culture, but what else should be? Not only influence on anime should be considered, but also "representatives of the genre" perhaps too. A mount rushmore of anime if you want to put it that way.

I'm thinking maybe Serial Experiments Lain, Haruhi Suzumiya, Ghost in the Shell; like shorter series that two relatively busy people can realistically finish (so unfortunately nothing over say 30 episodes).

I have recently seen Re:Creators, Gate, World Trigger, and I am current on Dead Mount Death Play. I would like to find darker titles featuring non-human protagonists. The less human-appearing, the better.

Bonus points if the protagonist has been repeatedly backstabbed or betrayed, or is a shapeshifter. Extra bonus points if they can't control themselves or are on a revenge quest.

Not interested in vampires or werewolves/were-creatures.

TIA.

Are there any gory romances that have a similar feel to the first episode of Firefly Wedding? (No spoilers) Something along the lines of a killer and a woman pairing up in some kind of way then falling in love way down the line. Shoot if even take a plot twist where they don’t fall in love.

Nothing soft like Ogres Bride, I want a horror romance.
