Kinda burned out after watching many serious action anime and tokusatsu shows that came out recently, I wanna rest for a bit by watching something a bit slow, but still interesting.

It could be romance, slice of life, adventure, sports, drama or anything that wasn't too tense that I'll be sweating most of the time each episode.

Some of my fav :

- some ghibli movies

- makoto shinkai movies

- Wave, Listen to Me

- Smoking behind the supermarket with you

- Call of the night

- Umamusume : Pretty Derby

- Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 : Thrice Upon a Time

- Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie

- Hyouka

Rather than a normal person being transported to another/magical world, a person from a magical world is transported to our normal one? Kinda like the movie Enchanted or Barbie?

As the title says, im looking to getting my soul crushed. Sad/emotional anime's in any way, even if its happy levels of crying.

Some stuff ive already watched for example that i think fits what im looking for:

Plastic Memories

Violet Evergarden

Clannad (+ After Story)

A Silent Voice

Steins Gate

Erased

Bunny Girl Senpai (Might not fit the 'category' but the first movie had me balling my eyes out)

Your Lie In April

Josée, Tiger and the Fish

A Lull in the Sea

Small edit: Title is spelled wrong, its Gurren Lagann before people jump on me

I'm looking for some anime recommendations similar to Tokyo Ghoul, Parasyte, Code Geass, and Dandadan.

I really enjoy anime with:

• Great story and character development
• Action with darker or supernatural themes
• Psychological or strategic elements
• Memorable main characters

I'm not really looking for typical battle shonen. Anime like Yozakura Family just aren't my thing. I prefer something with a more unique or darker feel, like Tokyo Ghoul, Code Geass, or Parasyte.

What would you recommend? It doesn't have to be the same genre—I just want something that has a similar vibe and keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Thanks!

I’ve started getting into Anime over the last year or two. I feel like I’ve tried most of the big ones. I don’t really know how to effectively browse / filter by the things I like and don’t like so I’m hoping for some recs. I only watch English dubs if that makes a difference.

Ones I’ve liked:

AOT Vinland Saga The Apothecary Diaries Demon Slayer Frieren Death Note Solo Leveling Gankutsuou Monster Cowboy Bebop Pantheon Weathering With You All the Ghibli films Blue Eyed Samurai Scavengers Reign

Ones I’ve not liked/didn’t stick:

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Trigun (maybe I’ll circle back) Baccano! Black Lagoon Tower Of God Lord Of Mysteries ODDTAXI (might try again too)

I liked
Erased
Sword art online
Violet evergardern
Monster
Death note

I don’t really like fighting I’m looking for mature story’s preferably no kids in school anime

AOT is one of my favorite anime, so I always thought I was pretty good at understanding complex stories.

But what's up with Lord of the Mysteries? I'm on Episode 3, and I still have no idea what's going on. 😭 It just feels really weird so far, and I'm honestly not getting interested enough to keep watching.

So, is the story really that confusing at the beginning, or am I just too dumb to understand it? 😅

Something kinda like Yakuza Fiance: Raise wa Tanin ga li, With You Our Love Will Make It Through, Monster Musume: Everyday Life With Monster Girls, Hensuki: Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert as long as she's a cutie, Devils' Line, Chained Soldier and Citrus. Thanks

Looking for romance where the main girl is legitimately not a good person, or very flawed. The flaws must actively create friction in the romance. Tsunderes are accepted, I'm a big fan of them.

I'm a bit tired of fluffy romances where the main girl doesn't have to do any substantial amount of growth.

Though it's not what I'm looking for, flawed male leads are also fine, but maybe avoid the classic rapey shoujo MLs. Really I'm just looking for large amount of character development and unlikable-ish characters in my romance.

Please DO NOT recommend stuff like Scum's Wish, Rent-a-GF, and other trashy series in the same veins.

Examples: (Sort of) Welcome to the NHK, (Sort of) Nagatoro, NGE

Right now i’m looking for some cool school anime with magic, but I don’t really know wich one to watch! Does anyone have a few good recommendations? I don’t really care, if there are many battle or not but it’s important that the power scaling isn’t as broken as in 7ds.

I currently don't have many friends. I can only say with confidence that certain family members are my real, close friends. While it's a blessing that I always have these people to turn to, the loneliness hits at work or during class. Whether I'm sitting alone or I have nobody to study with. But, I want to be okay with these things. All it takes is a shift of perspective, and fictional characters help out a lot with this. Even aside from that, seeing characters in similar situations provides a lot of comfort.

TLDR; I'm looking for anime that portray characters who have little to no friends but don't feel lonely - and just the overall beauty in being able to fulfill yourself as a person. Solitude.

I was trying to watch Livid woman's guide to getting revenge but I feel she isn't actually outsmarting anyone and the other kingdom prince is just incompetent and putting the grimoire just seems like there's no reason for wit. So i want to see one where the MC gets formal revenge by completely outclassing them in combat or wit,or by joining another faction who actively seeks to destroy the MCs original place

Hi all, I'm only starting with anime, seen only Bebop, Frieren, Berserk and watching Baki now. I've made an extensive list of just around a 100 anime titles i want to watch so far. I've a separate caregory for tear jerkers and something that will make your eyes bawl, if i ever feel like dabbling into it. Could you help me rank and complete the list, ranking my titles and adding your own? I'd like in some sense to build up to my emotional devastation, instead of accidentaly starting with the saddest one. These are in no particular order, so feel free to reshuffle them by numbers if it's too much to write:

1. Clannad

2. Clannad: after story

3. Your lie in april

4. 5 cm per sec

5. March comes in like a lion

6. Violet evergarden

7. Your name (and 2 follow ups)

8. To your eternity

9. I want to est your pancreas

10. Your lie in april

11. Plastic memories

12. Bokurano

13. Bananafish

Am i missing some big titles in that category? Which ones should i leave as the last ones? I've seen grave of the fireflies.

Okay I watched Samurai Champloo and FLEW through it I fell in love with the whole thing. So ofc Cowboy Bebop came next right? ..... I'm literally crying I know the ending was meant to be this way and I am okay with that. But now I want something to cheer me up with a happy ending 😅 something funny and more lighthearted maybe like Dan da Dan. I really loved the apothecary diaries and Maomao's sense of humor in it. Maybe something on the chill side like smoking behind the supermarket with you. The feelings I have are equivalent to finishing a banger book/series and just feeling that void afterwards idk lol. What do yall recommend? I'm pretty open to anything and still fairly new in the world of anime so the options are vast. Thanks in advance yall!

I'm looking for anime that naturally lead to lots of discussions while watching with someone.

For example, recently I watched The Quintessential Quintuplets with my cousin it gave us questions like:

Who's your favorite quint?

Rank the quints.

Who suits the MC the best?

Who should have won?

I'm looking for more anime that create these kinds of fun debates. Any recommendations?

I prefer it's not an Action anime

Um so i need anime suggestions where either

The main couple gets together in early episodes

Or

The MC is op

Some animes i enjoyed are

Wistoria

Golden time

My 100 girlfriends really really reallly reallly reallly love me

Basically the premise is that a dragon finds their way into the human realm to learn more about human civilization as they end up forming a bond with a fellow human, despite their species differences since dragons can live longer than humans.

Preferably horror, psychological, dark romance, humor please

3 or 4 years ago all I watched was anime, but lately I've been mostly into movies. I'm looking to get back into anime any suggestions, two months ago i watched chainsaw man and hells paradise. And I’ve already watched most of the famous and mainstream ones

Usogui ( Manga )
Monster
Breaking Bad / BCS
AoT
My Sweet Orange Tree ( Novel )

I have watched quite a bit of anime so I thought it would be easier to suggest some based on a few of my favorites! There isn’t a specific genre I prefer. I mainly look for solid and captivating story lines that keep me engaged throughout!

Here are some anime I loved in no particular order!

1. Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood

2. Fate Series

3. Erased

4. Mushi-Shi

5. Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song

6. Fruits Basket

7. Psycho-Pass (I mainly enjoyed season 1)

8. Your Lie in April

I’ve been mindlessly scrolling through anime on crunchy roll looking for something mellow to watch. Ideally a slice of life/romance anime that’s not completely over the top. I’ve seen a lot of romance anime’s some hold my attention others it’s hard to commit. I’m looking for something kinda along the lines of Blue box, or my dress up darling. Any suggestions my friends?

I love me yanderes so much and so I'm looking for some similar animes.

I've watched when they cry and future diary so far.

What's some good recommendations you lovely lot would suggest?

​

I don't remember much but I remember that the protagonist and her retainers were fleeing from a revolution I think and they got sent to modern day japan and is trying to adjust to life there. They have control over magic, as well.

The protagonist was taken in by a middle aged man and I remember a scene where the girl was trying to learn how to handle a skateboard.

I think she also got tangled up in a cult/scam taking advantage of her healing magic.

The protagonist's retainer/protector I remember was staying under a bridge and was sustaining herself on crickets.

I remember another female character who was a loli in stature but elegantly dressed and with a small tophat, maybe?

and she mostly sits behind an office table like a CEO of some kind.

any anime that is hard to watch, basically cause its gross af, and like you dont want to watch it
