I’ve liked Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassination Classroom. Cool with any genre you guys have to recommend, since I enjoyed stuff like Zombieland Saga too.
Ghost in the Shell and Serial Experiments Lain are classics you can’t go wrong with.
If you want something to laugh at check out Grand Blue
Something to laugh at but it is an isekai The Eminence in Shadow or KONOSUBA
Or an SOL to laugh at BOCCHI THE ROCK!
Grand Blue looks interesting and a different setting from the anime I’ve seen I’ll check that out.
The anime is good and if you like it you should check out the manga it is amazing.
Have you watched much of anything before? Likes? Dislikes?
My absolute favorite has always been Samarai Champloo. Same creator, also fantastic Coyboy Bebop.
Others I enjoyed:
Mob Psycho 100 & One Punch Man (same creator behind both)
Berserk (I’ve only seen the 3 movies for Golden Age on Netflix)
Attack on Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin
Trigun (I loved the original, but the recent remake was decent)
Dorohedoro (Incomplete, not sure if getting 2nd season)
Deathnote
Fullmetal AlchemistOther than what was listed I’ve watched some of the older animes that were recommended like Cowboy bebop, Samurai Champloo, Jorumond, and Black Lagoon which I all really liked. And the Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy. Started trying out some of the newer stuff with newest thing being Bocchi which was funny and I liked the animation gags in it.
I don’t think I’d get into those really super long anime with hundreds and hundreds of episode that go on. Those seem like too much for one series for me. At least for now.
Yeah agreed. One Piece sorta interests me, but that is a long anime at this point. I barely have enough time to keep up with Demon Slayer on the weekly so I’m not about to start a saga like that.
Oh yeah, one piece I don’t think I could ever get into due to the episodes being way too much at this point. Maybe I’d speed read the Manga instead.
Could maybe try kekkai sensen, has a second season called beyond iirc
Patlabor, specifically “Patlabor ON TELEVISION” and “Patlabor New Files” (sometimes called New OVA) are takes place in a very comfy near-future environment and is about a group of policemembers who are under the division for dealing with any mech incidents, meaning giant robot fights will happen in a very down-to-earth setting
I also recommend the movies if you enjoy the GITS movie as it’s the same director and he likes exploring a various amount of social commentary, from criticism of institutional inefficiency to existential reflections, (just dont watch the 3rd movie, it has nothing to do with anyone who made the original Patlabor)
There’s also the original Patlabor OVA, but I personally didn’t enjoy that nearly as much as the tv anime, and some of the characters act a little different, so it might be jarring if you watch that before the tv anime despite it being chronologically made first
Mechs fights got me sold on it. When it comes do the movies do you recommend watching the anime show first and then the 2 movies(ignoring the 3rd)?
I would say watching the things made before the movie gives you a better grasp of who the characters are and feel more attached to what’s going on, though the movies are very different from the OVA and tv show in terms of vibe, the characters act a lot more like how you would expect having watched the tv show. And I should also warn, the movies have very minimal mech fighting!
I recommend Jujutsu Kaisen.
Is it a long series or one that’s coming to an end?
It has 2 seasons so far. The manga is planning to end this year, so possibly 2-3 more seasons tops.
Demon slayer
Oshi no Ko
Hell’s paradiseI’ve seen Oshi no Ko mentioned a lot. Is it really good?
Don’t look anything up about it and just watch the first episode if you have a spare 1.5 hrs to spend. If you don’t like it then it’s easy to find out.
- ODDTAXI (absolutely amazing)
- Madoka Magica (watch until ep 3 at least)
- Land of the Lustrous (very different animation style)
- Vinland Saga (great story)
- Your Name. (great romance)
- Baccano! (very interesting style of storytelling. The characters feel like something you’d see in a theatre)
- Dorohedoro (weird, but interesting)
- Dororo (just two good friends adventuring)
- Made in Abyss (gets good, but really takes those 13 episodes for that)
Yeah, Oddtaxi is one I’ve been planning to watch with a lot of random clips from it I’ve seen like the Capoiera.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Made in Abyss
Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai
Steins;Gate
mans out there recommending Made In Abyss. That’s some heavy content.
But it’s so beautifully done I have to recommend it
This makes me really curious to check it out now.
I recommend it to anyone watching Anime.
word. love that soundtrack
Chainsaw Man
Spy x Family
Bocchi the Rock
One Piece
Death Note
Call of the Night
Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Cowboy Bebop
Bubble
Ya Boy Kongming
Got recommended Hunter x Hunter 2011 here too. For my next long Shonen I’ll be picking it.
Paranoia Agent
An elementary school kid dubbed with the title “shounen bat” or “lil’ slugger” has been going around attacking people with his bent, golden bat.
That sounds intersting. I’m imagining Ness from Earthbound.
Has anyone recommended Gundam yet? No? Good, I’m recommending Gundam.
Now, the whole thing might confuse you, and there are a ton of separate Gundam shows each one in it’s own continuity. So, to make things simple, I’m going to just suggest two of them. The currently airing Gundam: Witch From Mercury, and the classic that started everything, Mobile Suit Gundam.
The 3 compilation movies of the classic Gundam are on the Gundam.info Youtube channel for free right now, by the way! There’s several other shows in that channel and you might even be able to watch G-Witch depending on your location.Gwitch is great. And I have been watching through the entire backlog over the past few months. finally done with UC!
It’s well worth the investment, much of the story and art is so amazing!-
Big fan of GWitch. It’s a really strong story, and the art is beautiful.
-
Mob Psycho 100 is a completed action series that makes me think of slice of life coming of age story meets DBZ meets urban fantasy. The story is very strong and the art is used in a fairly clever way.
-
If you want dark/horror, then Psycho Pass was a fairly popular thriller.
-
Gundam is awesome. I got into it after I got into Gunpla and wanted to find out about the series. Zakus got the best design. I’ve seen the first movie trilogy, but not the rest yet. Was the oldest anime I’ve seen and it held up well.
