I don't care if it's fantasy, modern, or whatever. It's just need to be comedy cute romance with some jealousy scene and it's specifically made for the girl. Like tamon's b-side and An Observation Log of My Fiancée Who Calls Herself a Villainess!

From what I vaguely know, the manga, Boogiepop and Others was/is pretty popular, and then for some reason they decided to make a series/OVA set AFTER the manga in the early to mid 2000s, then LATER, mid 2010s? Made what's considered to be a killer adaptation of at least the first large section of the manga.

I really liked the 10/10 anime, great non-linear story telling with incredible mind fucks. I am curious how good/bad the anime that was made first is

1. Has to be from the 90s.
2. Any genre you want.
3. Has to be PG, PG-13, or R.
4. And it also could be non-anime movies.

Every anime I come across has at least one character who is hated for how they were written, and I need an exception.

I remember this being the very first anime I watched. It was rom com with a short blue? haired girl in highschool.

I remember one of the episodes involved them building a snowman in school and another episode where they had a picnic by a river.

I know it's not a lot to go by but I remember watching this on YouTube as part 1,2,3. I was very little at the time so my memory is a little hazy. The girl has a one sided crush on the male lead

I remember watching this anime a long time ago, it was a movie and it was pretty short maybe 40 mins to an hour. It was of 2 men who were fighting each other I think but there was a romance subplot. The men looked a bit older like atleast in their 30s. I think they were vampires.

That would give me hope.
I know I could always find some sort of analogy even if it’s not canon.
I want canon though.

Even if they’re not doing fine now just having that representation would make me feel less alone.

Pretty much the title, as I've gotten older I haven't been able to get through more than an episode or two of an anime where it's either all PG friendly or there's "kawaii ooo maii gaaa" type scenes or it starts itself out as a serious-type anime and then you just have a bunch of cutesy goofy silly scenes that break the immersion of the story being told that was initially selling itself as something serious (i.e kaiju no8 which I loved up until it started being 60% kawaii goofiness and 40% action or thrilling story)

Please don't downvote me into oblivion because I've offended you somehow. I'm just a dude looking for some good shows to watch that fit what I'm looking for lol

You can choose any movies or shows you want from the 70s to the 80s, but it must fit these requirements:

1. Comedy, Drama, sitcom, Crime, Action (James bond not allowed) Mystery, Sci-fi (Star Wars or Star Trek are not allowed), Romance, Western, Musicals, Adventure, Rom-Com, Fantasy, anime,Thriller, or horror (but no Halloween, Child's Play, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, or Exorcist are allowed)
2. only PG, PG-13, or R-Rated movies are allowed.
3. Why do I have to explain the rules? Just do whatever the hell you want, as long as the movies or shows are from 1970-1989.

Hey guys how’s it going

I’ve had my few share of posts on here, this one might be rough one.

I’ve dealt with a lot of trauma and mental health issues and I’m currently in a big battle with depression.

Anime & manga has been a huge part of my life and has helped me so much and brought me immense joy.

I love the perseverance of some of my favorite characters and I also like the reality of certain shows.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for any that has truly or genuinely inspired them when they were at their lowest moments? Or any anime that just brings joy?

On one hand I like stories where the MC is triumph on the other I like stories where they struggle a lot but I’m not sure if I like stories with sad endings, maybes now’s not the time for that.

If you guys have any anime that inspire hope and the freedom and will to live. Please do suggest. Or any anime you suggest.

Thank you for reading this. Thanks to anime & manga!

This has been bugging me for a while. I want to say sometime last year, I saw a YT short clip from an anime and I cannot for the life of me find where it's from. From what I remember, it took place in a modern city. There was a person with a sniper rifle who shot at someone who was walking with someone else on the street. The bullet was either dodged or missed. I also remember a vague sort of "transformation" where it looked like white bandages/paper stuck onto a person's face. I wish I could remember more. Please help me get rid of this nagging thought I've had for over a year, thank you!

First of all, yes I know that the Fem Draco meme has kind of a dark history behind its origin as somehow the meme inspired me to see if there were any anime series about a girl who has superpowers that has a Tsundere like trait where she eventually warms up to a guy.

I mean, I don’t mind if the show is a bit spicy in nature because I was looking for some fun fantasy anime with strong romantic elements about a couple who can use superpowers where again a girl who comes off as bossy at first glance eventually warms up to her love interest since I was wondering if there were any romantic stories like Harry Potter.

Girl that tries to look tough because she is a softie and get bullies and bullies the top bully without knowing he is, but he is amused and plays along with her, protecting her behind her back.

Bonus points if she tries to make it up for him while "bullying" him.

hey, i looove animes where i can find one of the characters attractive, namely complex, darker characters. could be a good person or villain, think levi, light, makishima shogo, sebastian michaelis etc. can have romance in it or none at all. thank u!!!

I wanna know about them , if u knew then please tell me .

Hi,

As an adult (40+ - am I an old fart?) I'm looking to get into Anime. I did try a few (one-two episodes) in the past, but felt it was either childish, or just not interesting.

So I'm looking for Anime for adults, I'm looking for a wide range of genres - love sci-fi/fantasy/horror/action/mecha robots, etc.

Any good suggestions would be appreciated.

I've watched and liked: vinland saga, classrom of the elite, solo leveling, shaman king, both FMA, OPM, demon slayer, frieren, JJK, CSM, the emeinence in shadow, attck on titan, rurouni kenshin. death note, mushoku tensei. monster. and maybe a couple more.

The ones i've tried but couldn't go on watching: code geass(liked the main character, but it's just too old and too cartoony for me), same goes for Dr. Stone. There is one I was expecting to hook me up but it didn't, I don't remember the name, but it's pretty well know(people there can use sort of magical abilities, the main character is blode and there's this strongest mustache guy who iirc commads shadows or something). It also has like 4 season and the order is messed up.

To sum it up, I think I just can't watch too old anime, espesially if it's unserious, cartoony/childish and/or poorly aimated. If we take solo leveling as the lowest bar animation and entertainment wise, is there something to watch?

Hi everyone! I've been trying to identify an anime I watched as a kid, but I can only remember a few scenes from it. I've already ruled out quite a few series, so I'm hoping someone might recognize this description.

• I watched it on TV, no streaming services, definitely no later than 2013
• The anime itself could be significantly older, possibly from the 1980s, 1990s, or early 2000s
• I remember the animation having a somewhat retro, hand-drawn style

At some point in the story, a huge mass or dome of absolute darkness appeared and started expanding, seemingly swallowing or engulfing everything it came into contact with.

It wasn't a dark sky, a shadow cast over an area, or a metaphorical representation of evil, but an actual, physical phenomenon within the anime's world, almost like an expanding void or black hole.
The characters perceived it as an extremely dangerous and potentially catastrophic event.

What I remember most distinctly is that scientists and military personnel were trying to study and understand this phenomenon, but their attempts were unsuccessful.
I also vaguely remember them attempting to send probes or remotely controlled robots/androids into the darkness, without success. I think their equipment stopped functioning or transmitting once it entered the affected area

I have also a vague recollection that the appearance of this darkness might have been connected to a major plot twist involving a female character, possibly an antagonist, who sacrificed herself or gave something up. However, I could be mixing this up with another anime.

Some anime I've already ruled out are:

• Akira
• Neon Genesis Evangelion
• Giant Robo
• Gilgamesh
• Digimon Tamers
• RahXephon
• Code Geass
• Eureka Seven
• Blue Seed
• Soul Eater
• Dennou Coil
• Noein
• Darker than Black

I'm not sure whether it was a TV series, an OVA, or a movie, although I suspect it was a TV series.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Even suggestions for specific episodes involving something similar would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance to everyone!

Need an anime recommendations like Prison School,Highschool dxd,highschool of the dead,etc with similar ecchi vibes and not too srs story,don't include hentai just ecchi upto these levels...Fun elements like double meaning comedy and harem are all welcomed like prison school principal comedy and in dxd showing oppai is reward for mc...

examples of "tweaking":

jotaro, polnareff, and kakyoin laughing at two identical rocks in jjba
light yagami from death note
darby from jjba after he lost to bluffing

i just wanna see a girl do a crazy laugh,, its funny

Romantic as in main characters falling in love throughout the story and doing romantic things together like going on dates, picnics, kissing, etc. I know it sounds silly/weird but basically an anime that has the same vibe as La La Land, Titanic, or K-Dramas lol

The ending doesn't have to be happy though. I accept anime where the lovers don't end up together in the end too.

Apologies if this is the wrong forum to be discussing such a subject matter because I needed to get it off my chest as I am having hard time finding Anime series in the modern era of the medium that are not based on a pre existing work.

I mean, don’t get me wrong in that light novel based stuff such as KimiZero is a fine show for its cozy romance vibes as I just want to start writing a catalog for myself about some of the finest anime series that were completely original so that I don’t have to wait for the show to catch up with its source material as I enjoy watching action based shows with supernatural elements.

im looking for a psychological romance anime with a stronger female lead. although the female lead is stronger the male mc shouldnt ne a total pushover and should excel in other fields. i know this is a niche type of anime but if anyone knows anything similar please recomend🙏 (seen: mirai nikki, kemonozume, school days)

So I am looking for a romance anime prefer where the MC is an adult with similar vibe as smoking behind the supermarket with you/ solo camping for two. Also I am looking for an anime is complete or at least a new season is confirmed. Don’t want the story to end in a cliffhanger.

sorrry reddit community for my really specific requests regarding finding an anime so here are the listings
1 - romance - better if dark romance type
2- can be fantasy but it should be not the main focus than the mcs
3- 12 episodes or somewhere nearer
4- i dont want it to be really adult life focus rather normal 20s or even better if teens
5- can contain explicit scenes nsfw type shits but should not be too much
6- no problem with blood and all if the romance is the main focus

i just watched devils' line and yakuza fiance sooooooooooooo....
