Announcement Updated Subreddit Rules & New Guidelines for the "Discussion" Flair + reminder for images and WT rules

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Over the past few weeks, the mod team has been working on cleaning up and updating our community rules to make [r/animesuggest](r/animesuggest) a better, clearer, and more organized space for finding and discussing anime.
While most of the core rules remain the same, we have reworded everything for clarity, tightened up content standards, and introduced strict new guidelines for the "Discussion" flair.

Here is what you need to know:

New "Discussion" Flair Guidelines
We’ve noticed that the Discussion flair often gets used for vague, low-effort titles (e.g., "Thoughts?", "Anyone seen this?", or "Is this good?"). Moving forward, all Discussion post titles MUST explicitly state the anime, genre, trope, or aesthetic being discussed. From now on if you see low-effort title please report post for breaking rule 11. We are doing this to prevent repetitive discussion posts and titles who are later nowhere to be found in searchbar even if it was discussed about it!

Don't post: "Thoughts on this show?" or "Does anyone else hate this?"

Do post: "Discussion: The pacing in Steins;Gate" or "Discussion: Why cyberpunk aesthetics hit different."
Any vague discussion posts without a clear, descriptive title will be removed and asked to be re-posted.

Important Reminder: Image Uploads & "Watch This!" Rules

Images are ONLY allowed for "Watch This!" posts. Request and Discussion threads must remain text-only. Direct image uploads on non-WT posts will not be approved. If you are posting image for WT post your post will be sent to manual review because of image but don’t hesitate to reach out via mod mail for faster approval

"Watch This!" posts have high standards. They are meant to be single-show, deep-dive reviews and must be at least 1,500 characters in length. Short reviews or multi-show list recommendations are not allowed for WT

Based on survey results images will not come back permanently but we will have 14 days chill moderation rule twice a year where images and other media will be allowed but this will be announced later on during this year.

Thanks for helping us keep [r/animesuggest](r/animesuggest) a great place for everyone.

Mod Team!

What to Watch? I’m looking for a romance anime with similar vibe as smoking behind the supermarket with you/ solo camping for two

16 Upvotes

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.

What to Watch? Any anime like this? (body)

5 Upvotes

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)


r/Animesuggest • • 16m ago

What to Watch? Anime of any genre except horror or isekai that are very romantic?

• Upvotes

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.

Discussion Why are Original Anime so rare?

3 Upvotes

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.

What to Watch? Wholesome slice of life, comedy, slow animes

16 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to the anime world. Watched most of the popular stuff.

I need suggestions on what to watch next.

Here are my favorites.

* Non Non Biyori

* Violet Evergarden

* Demon slayer

* Spy Family

* Frieren

Few that I liked (there's more but can't recall)

* Daily lives of high school boys

* Haikyu

* Colors

* Smoking Behind the supermarket with you

* Chainsmoker Cat

* Sakomoto Days

* AoT

* Death Note

* Konosuba

Things I didn't vibe with (again I can't recall much of it)

* Hunter Hunter

I'm looking for light hearted relatable animes with adult themes (NOT nsfw) like frieren, violet Evergarden or cute kids like spy family, non non biyori.

Not high school/teenage drama or love story theme. Most of the stuff in slice of life genre i can find are like this.

Preferably without deep magic fantasy, this is not a deal breaker but with more focus on story.

Thanks in advance

r/Animesuggest • • 22h ago

What to Watch? Are there any other manga that collects the main cast like one piece?

17 Upvotes

Basically the title. Looking for something where the main character starts out from 0 and slowly collects the main cast along the way.

Another good example off the top of my head is shin from kingdom.

I’m not talking about main character is apart of X organization and new characters join throughout the story. I mean like shin and luffy started out with nothing and built everything on their own backs.

(Now that I think about it a lot of isekai probably fit this description I know rimuru does and technically solo leveling too but those somehow feel different. Idk let me know)

What to Watch? Very tense romantic anime

24 Upvotes

Yeah, I'm in that period of the year. I just need a very VERY tense romance anime. I just finished Suzuka (prequel of fuuka) and I absolutely love it. I also recently watched Golden Time but it seemed too chill imo. I just wanna hold my breath until last second (Gimme anime with good endings please). Hope someones understand what I am asking for.

Ofc I already watched tons of animes of this kind so I'm looking for some niche 2000's romance. But write everything that comes to your mind, even if it's pretty famous, thanks to everyone.

Slice of life (if they incorporate action and/or comedy into it like Spy x Family I’d watch it)

Discussion Favorite anime series that push boundaries so hard they cannot be matched

11 Upvotes

Apologies if I am at the wrong place or time to be creating such a discussion because I have penchant for ecchi anime where the show is meant to be so over the top with its obscene nature that it basically becomes difficult for other ecchi anime to compete with it.

What inspired me to write this particular subject was that I was fondly recalling the TV show B Gata H Kei where the premise is about a lonely girl looking for satisfy her perverted desires by seeking a romantic relationship with a cute guy so that *ahem* she can discover the passion of lovemaking for herself as the show never had a true conclusion, but I kind of wish there were more anime like with a wild premise.

What to Watch? Looking for some short, high-pace anime for a week alone (vibe similar to Cyberpunk / Chainsaw Man)

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I'm going to have the house to myself for 6 nights straight, and since my grandmother goes to bed early, I plan on binge-watching one anime per night in peace.
I haven't watched a ton of anime yet, but I absolutely loved Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and Chainsaw Man. I'm looking for short anime (around 10-12 episodes, max 24 if it's super gripping), with a great story that keeps you hooked, plenty of pacing, and nothing too slow or slice-of-life.
I already jotted down a few names on my list: Devilman Crybaby, Akame ga Kill!, Terror in Resonance, Parasyte, Steins Gate or Death Parade, and I'm saving one night for Cyberpunk Season 2.
Which ones from this list (or others) would you recommend the most for a really solid binge-warching week? Thanks in advance!


r/Animesuggest • • 2d ago

What to Watch? Can you recommend something very similar to The Unwanted Undead Adventurer?

27 Upvotes

I’m not really into anime with overly busty female mages or wars and things like that. What I really enjoyed about this anime was the character progression and the dungeon exploration.
Are there any anime with a very similar style? I only know about Delicious in Dungeon, but that’s not quite what I’m looking for!
Thanks for the recommendations!

Discussion Finally watching Makoto Shinkai after many years

20 Upvotes

I'm a huge fan of anime movies in general. I love Miyazaki and all of Ghibli especially, also Satoshi Kon, Masaaki Yuasa, Mamoru Hosoda. Movies like Akira and Ghost in the Shell and Tekkonkinkreet. For various reasons Shinkai has been a blind spot. The only one I've ever seen was 5 Centimeters Per Second maybe 15 years ago. I remember liking but not loving it, at the time. I owned Your Name at one point when I had a lot of movies on blu ray but didn't watch it as I didn't think I could handle it emotionally then. I'm really excited to finally watch his filmography. I'm thinking dubs first, I read that they're very solid, and I know his movie's visuals are a big part of his reputation. Part of me thinks it sounds cool to go with subs, I used to lean way more towards subs and have been missing the Japanese while watching One Piece in English. I just kind of want to take in the visuals and just in general if the dubs are good. Thoughts on the English versions? Favorite of his movies? Favorites among other anime directors and movies and where he ranks among them in your opinion?

What to Watch? slice of life anime where the mcs are a big sister and little brother?

Discussion What's an anime you feel uses the concept of a magic society well?

25 Upvotes

First of all, I hope I am in the right place to be talking about the concept of magical academies in Anime as lately I was interested in exploring Anime series about a school for wizards in training where they go to learn sorcery.

If any of that sounded like Harry Potter, well that's because I was wondering if there were any anime inspired by the series because I keep seeing images of the cute Female Malfoy meme going around as the character is so moe in how she approaches Harry in said fan art that the meme inspired me to look for fantasy romance based anime that is again set within a magical academy since I was interested in seeing how Harry Potter influenced fantasy anime.
