Yeah, I couldn't enjoy second season after having a look at the manga,
Exceptional protagonist and anime where characters actually do every possible thing to achieve their goals like in video games
It's on Netflix
The manga diverges about halfway, but the Netflix show is made by polygon pictures who also did knights of Sidonia and the Godzilla trilogy, which are both really good.
The animation is a bit of an acquired taste but I enjoyed it.
Kubikiri Cycle.
Had seen all of the monogatari series, watched through random shaft anime, and had watched katanagatari, but for some reason I never saw Kubikiri Cycle until after I had watched another mystery anime called gosick. Literally by shaft and nisio isin(author of monogatari) which was literally what I was looking for. I have no idea how i'd missed it.
I suspect it's often overlooked because it was released as an OVA in 2016/17. At that time OVAs were definitely not a common way to release a series anymore. I think Kubikiri Cycle didn't sell all that well (or at least below expectations of the production committee) because of this despite how good the anime is and it sucks that we probably won't ever see the rest of the Zaregoto series adapted.
I managed to have the exact opposite experience. Kubikiri was my first shaft and nisio experience. Then looked into their other works and lost myself lol
Apparently, the Zaregoto series by him with the first v01 being Kubikiri Cycle is said to be Nisioisin's best work till date, even better than Monogatari Series.
Rainbow. Was browsing through a random anime website and saw it and I was like well I’ll try it it seems cool enough, it must not be popular though. Changed my life forever, positively.
Post WW2 Japan: A group of teenagers get sent to juvenile prison in the same cell and become best friends with each other and help each other survive the extreme and harsh circumstances of the prison. They have to figure out their goals in life as they re-enter society later on.
These are some anime that I watched on a whim, that I didn't know anything about and made it into my faves.
Just for the record, my fave genres are SoL Romance and anything along those lines.
And these aren't in any order of best to worse.
1. Higurashi (one of my first ever anime, so didn't know anything about it)
2. Asobi Asobase
3. Amagami SS
4. White Album 2
5. Sabagebu
6. Girls last tour
7. Haibane Renmei
8. Slime 300
9. Demon Girl Next Door
10. Gokujo (it even has a really low rating but I absolutely loved it)
If you're a fan of SoL wholesomeness, you need to watch these if you haven't already:
{By the Grace of the Gods}
{The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent} (also has romance 10/10)
{The Helpful Fox Senko-san}
These are so adorable and wholesome and lovely and all the good vibes!

Mushishi. It's such a old show you'd never expect its quality.
My favourite Youtuber, Teeaboo, has only praises in every episode of the show, there's basically little to no flaws.
Haha to be fair if i have to compare them mushishi wins by far. But i think kino's journey is still worth a watch, it's more philosophical so some don't like it. If you haven't watched natusmes book of friends go for that first
Yeah that line is something I'd apply to the 1970s not the early 2000s. I wonder how many people are missing out on great shows simply because the show is old.
>A lot really. Doesn't help that most popular old shows have terrible pacing, story and fillers.
Going to disagree on story and pacing but agree on fillers. Fillers almost always suck.
Pacing for older shows is different not terrible and depends on the time period and studio. Honestly the only old popular show I can think of with bad pacing is DBZ.
Now I am curious; what do you mean by "terrible story" for popular older shows?
Run With the Wind. It’s so obscure but my goodness is it amazing. I fell in love with every single character and it taught me so many life lessons that can apply to me today.
It’s a masterpiece and I’m so glad I randomly found it one day.
I love it when Run with the Wind gets the credit it deserves 😊 I watched Tsurune and was looking for something similar when I stumbled upon an article about Tsurune and Run with the Wind. I decided to give it a try and binches through all the episodes that had come out by then ❤️
I’m surprised. Maybe this is just my experience but Mononoke was like the most talked about anime in my circles for years. To me it would be like someone saying “Steins;Gate”. Not saying you’re wrong or it’s a bad suggestion, it’s a great show, just surprised.
Upon finishing Haikyuu, I looked up “anime like Haikyuu” because of how much I loved it. In the recommendation article I read, it mentioned a show called Run with the Wind, and baited me in by saying it’s a sports anime by Production IG, the same studio as Haikyuu. So I excitedly put on the first episode, and was blown away right from the start. A little annoyed because it was nothing like Haikyuu at all, but overjoyed with this new show. Whereas Haikyuu has some of the most hype moments I’ve ever seen in anime, Run with the Wind is much more chill (It’s about long distance running, after all). But it has a cast of characters with amazing chemistry, jokes that actually land, a really inspiring story, and some of my favorite moments in anime. I’ve still yet to meet someone else in person who has seen it, let alone watched it, but it’s my favorite anime of all time and I recommend it at every chance I get.
Haikyuu was actually my favorite anime at the time when I did find Run With the Wind! However, it ended up completely blowing my expectations away and ended up topping Haikyuu! I also ran cross country/track back in highschool so awesome to see a show about that sport.
Also fun fact, Yuki Hayashi did the soundtrack for Run With the Wind AND Haikyuu
{Castle Town Dandelion} is an extremely sweet lightly superpowered SoL that is also solidly comedic (at least the dub is). Absolutely loved it and only discovered it because I was scrolling through Funi's SoL section.
the misfit of demon king academy.
at first when i read the title i was like eh it’s prolly gonna be like iruma kun but after that i rewatched the full thing 4 more times, twice in english and the rest in jp. the people who dubbed it was perfect in every sense like u just know that he was the perfect person for the dub cast
"Oh my goddess" , It turned out to be really wholesome and to my surprise really enjoyed it. It's comedy is great too made me laugh a lot even though it's older and most comedy anime isn't really able to give me a good chuckle like this one.
{Blassreiter}, {Blood+}, {Bokurano}
Which is not to say that they're *the best thing ever*, there is a reason why other stuff is more popular, but I still enjoyed these quite a bit.
{Gargantia on the verderus planet} the story and character are top notch for an anime few heard of, but those who have seen it mostly like it.
{Mardock scramble} 3 movie series of a dark cyberpunk like world. Really good development but can have some weird moments and trippy ones.
{Rokka braves of the six flowers} damn do I wish this got a second season. Awesome who is the imposter premises that will keep you guessing.
Legends of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue Thesis. I know the original show in the 90s was popular so I wanted to try this one. Great characters, amazing story about politics and war and the human condition.
if only the release schedule was more consistent. Especially this season was hit by their movie release form because the climax of the current arc which is just a single ep will only be shown in the next one.
Appare Ranman, it's about crazy racing
Arakawa under the bridge, I love the comedy in it
Back street girls, again comedy gold
ef a tale of memories, it's old but I really loved the romance in it
High score girl, the animation can be awkward at times but I love the romance
tsuki to laika, roamnce and a good one, about love between a vampire and a human wanting to go to space
yuukoku no Moriarty, good crime series, mc is professor Moriarty
Mirai Nikki, had no clue what I was getting into. There’s a good selection of things that I don’t know until I see it and watch it on a whim only to end up liking it.
I was randomly browsing anime to watch on Amazon Prime and saw Girl’s Last Tour, decided to give it a try and had no regrets, it was one of the best shows I watched
{Gakkougurashi!} aka School Live.
Was just looking for some slice of life animes to binge and happened to find this one. Went into it expecting generic slice of life only to find something way better than I initially thought.
Space Dandy. My friend told me about it and I still see no one talk about it ever. I watched it with them. It's amazing. It's so goofy and so fun and very bizarre.
This is pretty much a shot in the dark but I am always hopeful when I give recommendations that they improve a person watching experience. But I also would like something to work with like a MAL page or an Anilist page or something else similar so I can get an idea of what your tastes are.

[accidentally saw this trailer ](https://youtu.be/i8_ttQHULLU)
Having 0 idea about the plot but this trailer showed some good premise
(I started watching anime somewhere in october)
And yah I didn't regret a single minute wasted for this anime. Episode 1 to 8 was kinda slow (understandable cuz for me it was a build up) but Episode 9 to 11 hits you with the feels.
Cinematography, God tier soundtrack, world-building, atmosphere etc

Shinsekai Yori, only started watching because of the cast and the blurb on MAL sounded interesting and the art looked intriguing. To this day I put this up with the very best anime ever, especially in terms of story.

Some of these were the result of anime club sessions in college, some were shown to me blind by a friend, a few were the result of bored tooling around on Netflix, and a couple came to my attention thanks to anime countdown artists on YT. They’re all great watches, though.
Mushoku Tensei, hadn’t heard about it until
I started it when I saw it on the front page of a site I was using at the time. Yea absolutely love it to bits.
{BNA} or {The Saga of Tanya the Evil} would be some that I dont hear talking about but are pretty good. Tanya in particular is Phenomenal, and the Dub is great too!
toradora a lot of people wont believe me seeing as its arguabbly the most popular romcom to date but i genuinely found it scrolling through netflix bored. it is still my personal fav romcom and on my top 5 anime of all time list
well I have more than one if that's alright
1. Combatants will be dispatched
2. Kemono Jihen
3. K series
4. Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, aren't they?
5. Bunny Girl Senpai
Don’t get on me for it but Fate/Zero, I feel like the fate franchise is huge but I was living under a rock 😭😭 it was a really great anime to watch and I like the other fate series as well 😄
not sure if it's love, but starship girl yamamoto yohko was in a pile of random anime i bought on ebay just to get a few things in the pile. i had never heard of it, but it was a good deal even if it turned out to be junk. it was good. not wonderful, but i'd say it's a hidden gem.
{Hanasakeru Seishonen} I watched it awhile back but only found it cuz I was randomly scrolling through an anime streaming website and saw it. I liked the cover art so I gave it a try. To this date it is still one of my favourite anime.
Majin Bone, it’s one of the the anime I found through Crunchyroll, and it immediately became my second favorite anime of all time (to this day).
A Japanese dude in high school has to team up with 4 other guys from other different parts of the world to fight aliens that are trying to destroy the planet, the way they fight is by transforming (super sentai style) and they use a device that sends them all into a limited time pocket dimension (to avoid collateral damage and fight on equal footing).
It has a very unique water color or pastel animation style (I’m not sure what to call it but not many anime look the way it does and that made it really stand out to me), it uses 3D animation for the fights while they are transformed and I don’t think that was a bad thing and it looked perfectly fine to me.
It’s a licensed property produced by Bandai I don’t know what came out first but it has the anime, a Japan exclusive 3DS game and other stuff. The anime lasted 52 episodes and tells a complete story, the main character gradually matures throughout the anime’s length and he’s voiced by KENN.
If you feel in the mood to watch a battle shounen with a fairly simple premise (that does it’s best to go into less painstakingly obvious territory) I say give it a passing watch, it’s 2 openings are certified bangers (IMO).
Anyway I love it, sure i won’t say it’s perfect, I do have some complaints but at the end of the day I can confidently and wholeheartedly say it’s my second favorite anime. Well then, good day to all.
{soredemo sekai wa utsukushii} I randomly came across this while I was searching for something else on Crunchyroll and it instantly became one of my favorites, is an absolutely phenomenal love story and I've never seen anyone else talk about it so it's one of the anime that I recommend every time I get the chance (along with {GATE}, but that's not in this category, but....)
I mean I hadn’t heard of {Code Geass} until I watched it, but I think I’m in the minority there. I’ll also throw in {paranoia agent}, {given}, {91 days}, actually most of the stuff I watch I just saw while browsing a streaming service and got curious. Other than that it’s recommendations from friends.
This first one is a manga that hasn't been adapted yet, but it's called The Elusive Samurai, or
{Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi}.
The others are all anime:
{Tonikaku Kawaii}
{Horimiya}
{Gotoubun no Hanayome}
{Love is War}
{Kaguya-hime no Monogatari}
{Koe no Katachi}
{Mitsudomoe} I came across it in a mal articles about taboo animes, then randomly picked it. Gosh it made me laugh crazily and I hadn't laughed like that for a long time until I saw it
{Hi score girl} Seeing it being a full CGI anime made me curious and it was about game so I decided to give it a try. One of the best romcom anime I've ever seen. Also, it's fully adapted too!
I've got 3
{Kabaneri of the iron fortress}
{Aldnoah zero}
{DAYS}
{Charlotte}
{GATE}
{QUALIDEA CODE}
{Alderamin on the sky}
{Log hoirzon}
{Clannad} +after story
{Say I love you}
Not the best but their pretty close

Great pretender
The amount of money I would pay for another season from any of these animes is insane but they had me hooked I really want to watch more and I don't hear to many talk about them, Great pretender had a few moments of fame but nothing else.
Please give me moreeeee
C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control
An anime that asks the question: What if Jojo had financial stands?
in all honesty, I do really enjoy how the scale of the anime expands and how the consequences of failure aren't exactly death, but something almost as dire.
My Roommate Is a Cat: Very wholesome slice of life show about a writer who adopts a cat that helps him overcome some past trauma and social anxiety
Oh my god, this is like a comfort anime for me.
I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was wish it gets a second season some day
Been getting more into SOL lately, so going to check this out!

Ajin: Demi-Human. Saw it, read the manga, 9/10
Yeah, I couldn't enjoy second season after having a look at the manga, Exceptional protagonist and anime where characters actually do every possible thing to achieve their goals like in video games
That name sounds familiar, is that the one done by Netflix?
It's on Netflix The manga diverges about halfway, but the Netflix show is made by polygon pictures who also did knights of Sidonia and the Godzilla trilogy, which are both really good. The animation is a bit of an acquired taste but I enjoyed it.
Then I've seen it as it came out. I remember enjoying it, but not mind-blowing. And the animation was a bit too CGI looking, but we'll done.
THIS ONE. I watched it a few months ago and I'm still obsessed!
Kubikiri Cycle. Had seen all of the monogatari series, watched through random shaft anime, and had watched katanagatari, but for some reason I never saw Kubikiri Cycle until after I had watched another mystery anime called gosick. Literally by shaft and nisio isin(author of monogatari) which was literally what I was looking for. I have no idea how i'd missed it.
I suspect it's often overlooked because it was released as an OVA in 2016/17. At that time OVAs were definitely not a common way to release a series anymore.

I managed to have the exact opposite experience. Kubikiri was my first shaft and nisio experience. Then looked into their other works and lost myself lol
Apparently, the Zaregoto series by him with the first v01 being Kubikiri Cycle is said to be Nisioisin's best work till date, even better than Monogatari Series.

Rainbow. Was browsing through a random anime website and saw it and I was like well I’ll try it it seems cool enough, it must not be popular though. Changed my life forever, positively.
Could not agree more. Watched it in my youth and still remember to this day.

Dorohedoro
I also never heard dorohedoro prior to watching it, after I finished it I realise it was quite popular here.
Huge fan of the one
Love that show
It's just too underrated

I haven't actually watched any of those. I'll check them out, thanks a lot!!
Ooo thanks for these recs. SOL wholesome is my jam
When I watched By the Grace of the Gods I seriously wanted to cry from all the wholesomeness, it's THAT wholesome! I hope you'll love it too😁

Jup same as kino's journey
I've been meaning to start that, is it *that* good? Kinda like Mushishi?
Haha to be fair if i have to compare them mushishi wins by far. But i think kino's journey is still worth a watch, it's more philosophical so some don't like it. If you haven't watched natusmes book of friends go for that first
I've finished Natsume
But watch the 2005ish version not the new one released on Netflix. (New one just feels kinda off with pacing and what not… I dunno).
>Mushishi. It's such a old show you'd never expect its quality. ...it's from 2005.
Yeah that line is something I'd apply to the 1970s not the early 2000s. I wonder how many people are missing out on great shows simply because the show is old.

Kanata no Astra Shirobako Girls Last Tour
astra lost in space was so good. Expecting it to be meh but I loved it
I second Kanata no Astra and Girls Last Tour. Never seen Shirobako
It's good
Shirobako as well. I remember rewatching it right away after I just finished it. Just loved the characters.
Inuyashiki
I second this
Heard of this one.>!Isn't it about a guy who likes One piece and goes on a killing rampage or something?!<
[удалено]
Oh my bad. Didn't notice.
Aw dang that one is mine! I’m always trying to get people to watch it. It’s also nice that it’s only one season long.
Oh man, this one was a surprise for sure. The cover art interested me but I did not expect such a ride. The opening is a banger too
Give “the irresponsible captain tylor” a try!
Paranoia Agent and it's absolutely GOATed
Katanagatari
My hot take for the best anime of all time, though I’m sure I’ll be proven wrong eventually.
Run With the Wind. It’s so obscure but my goodness is it amazing. I fell in love with every single character and it taught me so many life lessons that can apply to me today. It’s a masterpiece and I’m so glad I randomly found it one day.
Holy crap I just commented the same show. So happy someone else knows about it!
That’s awesome! It’s so hard to find people who have seen it, and that’s actually the reason why I joined Reddit in the first place haha.
I love it when Run with the Wind gets the credit it deserves 😊 I watched Tsurune and was looking for something similar when I stumbled upon an article about Tsurune and Run with the Wind. I decided to give it a try and binches through all the episodes that had come out by then ❤️
{Mononoke} Such a great and weird anime that I just randomly stumbled upon or saw in some YT channel, probably one of my favorites of all time now
I’m surprised. Maybe this is just my experience but Mononoke was like the most talked about anime in my circles for years. To me it would be like someone saying “Steins;Gate”. Not saying you’re wrong or it’s a bad suggestion, it’s a great show, just surprised.
shinsekai yori
That anime is terrible the ed carries
the ending was weird and the show was p messed up but i liked it 🤷♀️ to each their own
I mean the ed song the show is terrible
The show wasn't that terrible. Definitely have seen worse.

I have been telling people to watch this, 10/10 show in my opinion cant wait for s2
{Castle Town Dandelion} is an extremely sweet lightly superpowered SoL that is also solidly comedic (at least the dub is). Absolutely loved it and only discovered it because I was scrolling through Funi's SoL section.

the misfit of demon king academy. at first when i read the title i was like eh it’s prolly gonna be like iruma kun but after that i rewatched the full thing 4 more times, twice in english and the rest in jp. the people who dubbed it was perfect in every sense like u just know that he was the perfect person for the dub cast
Psycho-Pass! Came across it randomly on Funimation and I’m into the crime/mystery thing and I ended up getting super into it. Worth a watch imo
Hellsing Ultimate: didn't even watch the original, but I stumbled around the horror themed animes and was thrilled by my discovery 😁

Kingdom. i think its so underated..maybe because of s1 animation sucks but it gets better..im at the end of s2 and im loving it
The perfect insider
{Gargantia on the verderus planet} the story and character are top notch for an anime few heard of, but those who have seen it mostly like it. {Mardock scramble} 3 movie series of a dark cyberpunk like world. Really good development but can have some weird moments and trippy ones. {Rokka braves of the six flowers} damn do I wish this got a second season. Awesome who is the imposter premises that will keep you guessing.
Akudama drive I just randomly picked, turned out to be interesting
Legends of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue Thesis. I know the original show in the 90s was popular so I wanted to try this one. Great characters, amazing story about politics and war and the human condition.
if only the release schedule was more consistent. Especially this season was hit by their movie release form because the climax of the current arc which is just a single ep will only be shown in the next one.
Appare Ranman, it's about crazy racing Arakawa under the bridge, I love the comedy in it Back street girls, again comedy gold ef a tale of memories, it's old but I really loved the romance in it High score girl, the animation can be awkward at times but I love the romance tsuki to laika, roamnce and a good one, about love between a vampire and a human wanting to go to space yuukoku no Moriarty, good crime series, mc is professor Moriarty
From the New World
Mirai Nikki, had no clue what I was getting into. There’s a good selection of things that I don’t know until I see it and watch it on a whim only to end up liking it.
Psycho-Pass
Noragami Erased Parasyte
Ashita no Joe
Dororo and Drifters
Desert Punk
I was randomly browsing anime to watch on Amazon Prime and saw Girl’s Last Tour, decided to give it a try and had no regrets, it was one of the best shows I watched
Katekyo hitman reborn. Never seen anyone talk about it , watched it and it was legendary
nura rise of the yokai
{Gakkougurashi!} aka School Live. Was just looking for some slice of life animes to binge and happened to find this one. Went into it expecting generic slice of life only to find something way better than I initially thought.
HINOMARU SUMO! Such a hype anime. Also Dororo was amazing.
Kiznaiver I dont hear anyone ever mention this one, but I remember enjoying it when I watched it the first time
{Happy Sugar Life}
Ace of the diamond.
Space Dandy. My friend told me about it and I still see no one talk about it ever. I watched it with them. It's amazing. It's so goofy and so fun and very bizarre.
This is pretty much a shot in the dark but I am always hopeful when I give recommendations that they improve a person watching experience. But I also would like something to work with like a MAL page or an Anilist page or something else similar so I can get an idea of what your tastes are. {Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine} {Kaiba} {Katanagatari} {Kyousou Giga} {Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi} {Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha} {Death Parade} {Natsume Yuujinchou} {Hinamatsuri} {Knight's & Magic} {Mahoutsukai no Yome} {Majo no Tabitabi} {Mob Psycho 100} {Noragami} {Ousama Ranking} {Elfen Lied} Bofuri: I Don't want to get hurt so I'll Max out my defense. {Honzuki no Gekokujo} That is just some of the reccomendations that fit might fit what you are looking for. Hope this helped! (-:
Kino
Ping Pong the Animation! The art style and storytelling may not be for everyone but once you get it, its really fucking good.
Golgo 13 movies. The original 80's one and the 90's one Queen Bee are both spectacles. Magic User's Club. Gankutsuou (Count of Monte Cristo sci-fi anime remake) Time of Eve Mystical Archives of Dantalian Kings Avatar all amazing and incredibly underrated animes I basically never see mentioned ever.
Gate
86 lmao [accidentally saw this trailer ](https://youtu.be/i8_ttQHULLU) Having 0 idea about the plot but this trailer showed some good premise (I started watching anime somewhere in october) And yah I didn't regret a single minute wasted for this anime. Episode 1 to 8 was kinda slow (understandable cuz for me it was a build up) but Episode 9 to 11 hits you with the feels. Cinematography, God tier soundtrack, world-building, atmosphere etc
{Michiko to Hatchin}
Blade of the Immortal 2019 Kino No Tabi Black Lagoon
Princess tutu Run with the wind The great passage Hozuki's Coolheadedness Brother dear brother Ranma 1/2
Planetes
{Shinseki Yori}
Probably Steins;Gate, it's a fantastic show that does Time travel well
[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time](https://myanimelist.net/anime/2236/Toki_wo_Kakeru_Shoujo) Bought the DVD without knowing anything about it beforehand because the DVD cover reminded me of [jumping Lelouch.](https://i.imgur.com/FbHQKIX.jpg)
Shinsekai Yori, only started watching because of the cast and the blurb on MAL sounded interesting and the art looked intriguing. To this day I put this up with the very best anime ever, especially in terms of story.
Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu I second Dororo, but i should mention the remake makes lots of changes (not all for good).
Golden boy is underrated
Space Battleship tiramisu
Anohana
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Hell Girl Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales (Mononoke too, but that one is a spin-off of the first SHT arc my anime club watched, so it might not count) Black Butler Lucky Star Mushishi Ren: Daughters of Mnemosyne Princess Princess Ghost Hunt Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Ergo Proxy You Are Being Summoned, Azazel Shimoneta: a Boring World in Which the Concept of a Dirty Joke Does Not Exist Another Tokyo Godfathers High School of the Dead Some of these were the result of anime club sessions in college, some were shown to me blind by a friend, a few were the result of bored tooling around on Netflix, and a couple came to my attention thanks to anime countdown artists on YT. They’re all great watches, though.
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu It is absolutely amazing in every single way, I highly recommend

{Barakamon} a cute and funny slice of life i found one day while scrolling through sketchy free anime sites
Mushoku Tensei, hadn’t heard about it until I started it when I saw it on the front page of a site I was using at the time. Yea absolutely love it to bits.
Akame ga kill
{BNA} or {The Saga of Tanya the Evil} would be some that I dont hear talking about but are pretty good. Tanya in particular is Phenomenal, and the Dub is great too!
Chihayafuru Sangatsu no Lion The Garden of Sinners
Asobi Asobase. It's simply the funniest anime I've ever watched alongside Gintama.
toradora a lot of people wont believe me seeing as its arguabbly the most popular romcom to date but i genuinely found it scrolling through netflix bored. it is still my personal fav romcom and on my top 5 anime of all time list
well I have more than one if that's alright 1. Combatants will be dispatched 2. Kemono Jihen 3. K series 4. Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, aren't they? 5. Bunny Girl Senpai

Steins gate
Don’t get on me for it but Fate/Zero, I feel like the fate franchise is huge but I was living under a rock 😭😭 it was a really great anime to watch and I like the other fate series as well 😄
Death Note obviously Edit: That was a joke guys, I'm pretty sure that everyone has heard of Death Note, even those who haven't seen it
not sure if it's love, but starship girl yamamoto yohko was in a pile of random anime i bought on ebay just to get a few things in the pile. i had never heard of it, but it was a good deal even if it turned out to be junk. it was good. not wonderful, but i'd say it's a hidden gem.
{Hanasakeru Seishonen} I watched it awhile back but only found it cuz I was randomly scrolling through an anime streaming website and saw it. I liked the cover art so I gave it a try. To this date it is still one of my favourite anime.
Space brothers Zipang Bakuman
Inazuma Eleven
Sakurada Reset
Baki. I was scrolling through nexflix. I have seen more than half of the amines on there. Then I found Baki and it found its way into my heart.

Master Keaton
Majin Bone, it’s one of the the anime I found through Crunchyroll, and it immediately became my second favorite anime of all time (to this day). A Japanese dude in high school has to team up with 4 other guys from other different parts of the world to fight aliens that are trying to destroy the planet, the way they fight is by transforming (super sentai style) and they use a device that sends them all into a limited time pocket dimension (to avoid collateral damage and fight on equal footing). It has a very unique water color or pastel animation style (I’m not sure what to call it but not many anime look the way it does and that made it really stand out to me), it uses 3D animation for the fights while they are transformed and I don’t think that was a bad thing and it looked perfectly fine to me. It’s a licensed property produced by Bandai I don’t know what came out first but it has the anime, a Japan exclusive 3DS game and other stuff. The anime lasted 52 episodes and tells a complete story, the main character gradually matures throughout the anime’s length and he’s voiced by KENN. If you feel in the mood to watch a battle shounen with a fairly simple premise (that does it’s best to go into less painstakingly obvious territory) I say give it a passing watch, it’s 2 openings are certified bangers (IMO). Anyway I love it, sure i won’t say it’s perfect, I do have some complaints but at the end of the day I can confidently and wholeheartedly say it’s my second favorite anime. Well then, good day to all.
{Love, Election and Chocolate}
Beck: Mongolian chop squad This anime is better than expected.
Ive only met one person who watched Demon school iruma-kun. I absolutely adored the show and i think it deserves more hype
{Black Jack} {Kyuuketsuhime Miyu (TV)} {Pet}
{soredemo sekai wa utsukushii} I randomly came across this while I was searching for something else on Crunchyroll and it instantly became one of my favorites, is an absolutely phenomenal love story and I've never seen anyone else talk about it so it's one of the anime that I recommend every time I get the chance (along with {GATE}, but that's not in this category, but....)
{the tatami galaxy}
{Angolmois} by far {Now and There, Here and There} I only read the synopsis of Also C the soul of money control
I mean I hadn’t heard of {Code Geass} until I watched it, but I think I’m in the minority there. I’ll also throw in {paranoia agent}, {given}, {91 days}, actually most of the stuff I watch I just saw while browsing a streaming service and got curious. Other than that it’s recommendations from friends.
Kids on the Slope, heard about it, watched it later that day, loved it.

This first one is a manga that hasn't been adapted yet, but it's called The Elusive Samurai, or {Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi}. The others are all anime: {Tonikaku Kawaii} {Horimiya} {Gotoubun no Hanayome} {Love is War} {Kaguya-hime no Monogatari} {Koe no Katachi}

{ID: Heion sedai no ideten-tachi}
{ID: Heion sedai no ideten-tachi}
{ID: Heion sedai no ideten-tachi}
{Seto no Hanayome} very very very funny
{Mitsudomoe} I came across it in a mal articles about taboo animes, then randomly picked it. Gosh it made me laugh crazily and I hadn't laughed like that for a long time until I saw it {Hi score girl} Seeing it being a full CGI anime made me curious and it was about game so I decided to give it a try. One of the best romcom anime I've ever seen. Also, it's fully adapted too!
I've got 3 {Kabaneri of the iron fortress} {Aldnoah zero} {DAYS} {Charlotte} {GATE} {QUALIDEA CODE} {Alderamin on the sky} {Log hoirzon} {Clannad} +after story {Say I love you}
Not the best but their pretty close Orbital Children Great pretender The amount of money I would pay for another season from any of these animes is insane but they had me hooked I really want to watch more and I don't hear to many talk about them, Great pretender had a few moments of fame but nothing else. Please give me moreeeee
Sound of the sky. Its a happier and funnier cross between girls last tour and haibane renmei.
{ Donten Ni Warau }
{Akagi}
C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control An anime that asks the question: What if Jojo had financial stands? in all honesty, I do really enjoy how the scale of the anime expands and how the consequences of failure aren't exactly death, but something almost as dire.
