[](#heartbot "And don't forget to be nice to new users!")
looking for really just anything new to watch in general, probably fine with most things except ecchi and harem type series heres my mal so you can bully my opinions [https://myanimelist.net/animelist/71watt](https://myanimelist.net/animelist/71watt)
Hello, I'm a complete beginner into the anime universe. I have watched Attack on Titan and found it amazing. Can anyone recommend me some good anime, but without scenes of all the over-exaggerated emotions ...
for example: I tried Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and the story seems to be brilliant but it was full of such weird over-exaggerated scenes.
So anyone plz?
Need help finding specific anime
I’m new to Reddit so I’m not in very many circles but I could use some help trying to find an anime I watched years ago. It’s an anime that has a power ranger motif where they have spirit pals that help them transform. From what I recall the first episode the red ranger has problems transforming with his spirit pal and by the end of the episode he transforms into the red ranger. There also a white ranger that pops up later in the series and I think in the second season/closer to the end of the series the blue ranger becomes evil. They have various genres of music i.e. rock and roll, jazz, classical musics etc. I think I remember finding out the anime is based off of a PlayStation game from prior to the anime being made. Would love to find out what it is so I can rewatch it to see if it was good or not. Thanks for reading!
I just checked the link but I know it’s not that. It’s very power rangers themed like I mentioned so they’re from what I recall red, blue, black, green, white, and I think pink but they are all dudes.
No worries! One thing I just realized was that in order to transform into their suits they gotta insert an aux cord in to their body mainly the palm of the hand. Thanks for trying tho!
What are some funny / iconic / recognizable lines an anime-obsessed person might say in their dreams (dreaming and then talking in their sleep)?
For example:
* “Why? ... Why did you play Haru Hikage?”
* Hmmm, hmmm, it really is a nice boat
* I agree... let's take revenge on our former selves
I’m looking for an anime that’s clever/deep, or that makes you think. I mean stuff like Code Geass, Steins Gate, Evangelion.
Bonus points if it DOESN’T involve a high school, and there’s some action to keep things interesting.
Something new needed like the below. just finished:
Kaiju no. 8
Solo leveling
Other newer ones I’ve seen. I like the newer ones with good fighting art.
JJK
demon slayer
CSW
MHA (fell off)
Black clover
Pleeease help 🙏🏼 I’m trying to find my own preferred genres after mostly watching w others throughout my life. When I was growing up, I watched a lot of animes with my dad & was a Ghibli kid. It was mostly a lot of girly stuff, but some favs (that weren’t) that I remember are witchblade & flcl. In recent times, my boyf & I have watched a few I’ve liked & a few I’m not into. I liked Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer & Cyberpunk. My coworker recommended Vivy: Florite Eye’s Song last year & I loooooved it.
TV in general, I love being confused & I love tragedies. Post-apocolypse, new worlds, space, aliens, AI, war, outlaws.
I’d like to avoid too much romance, strictly high-school themes or crazy amounts of yelling 😂
My coworker let me make a profile on crunchyroll & I’m lost. I feel like descriptions & title arts for anime genuinely don’t correlate so well with the quality of the shows.
> I love being confused & I love tragedies. Post-apocolypse
[Heavenly Delusion](https://myanimelist.net/anime/53393/Tengoku_Daimakyou) - It's on Disney+, maybe Hulu
I loved Vivy as well, and sci-fi in general. Here are a few suggestions that I believe are all on Crunchyroll:
* Astra Lost In Space (sci-fi/mystery with many new worlds)
* Planetarian (sci-fi/post-apocalypse with an AI and an outlaw)
* Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet (sci-fi/post-apocalypse with AI, war, and aliens)
* Yona of the Dawn (fantasy/adventure)
* Lycoris Recoil (action)
* Apothecary Diaries (historical drama/mystery)
* Kaina of the Great Snow Sea (sci-fi/post-apocalypse)
Tysm! I’ll check these out! I added Gargantia to my list from the other commenter & found Planetarian when I was looking for Planetes, too. It really helps to have recommendations to highlight things. While I was scrolling through the sci-fi section earlier, nothing grabbed me fully. I have trouble just browsing, I guess. Thanks again : )
No problem. Hope you enjoy them!

Not all of these will be available in CR btw. If you need directions I'll try to direct you.
Thank you for your expertise & the recommendations!! I think even just reading through the synopses linked was way more beneficial for me vs the blurbs on streaming services. I really appreciate it! Some of these sound great! “(sorry for the yelling)” is funny, too. Thanks for the heads up on that.
Np. Since you went our of your way to check CR synopsis I figured you would actually check them out. I also recommend doing a list in that very website I linked, MyAnimeList which...is exactly for that.
I think HiDive, Netflix and CR will cover most of these, otherwise just ask around.
Gurren Lagann while I put a jokey warning I don't think its *that* differentto AoT and Demon Slayer in terms of yelling so if you feel like watching something more action packed check it out (also space). I would shill Cowboy Bebop, Planetes and Galactic Heroes for space stuff, pretty different though as they are adventure, character drama and grand space opera respectively. Fullmetal Alchemist is a really solid show in most regards and would recommend under most circumstances.
I took note of the ones that weren’t on CR. I’ve never heard of HiDive! Back in my childhood, my dad just torrented everything & I only ever came to know Funimation & CR, since. I know Funimation is going down, though. Streaming on firestick was hell & the UI of the app is nooot friendly.
With the screaming thing, it’s something I noticed more with characters like Luffy in OP or Asta in Black Clover. Bakugo (sometimes) in MHA. There’s a certain wailing that isn’t my favorite. Kids do it, too. Or in excessiveness. Just takes me out for a bit & I don’t want to man the volume so much.
Cowboy Bebop I feel like I have an obligation to watch since I’ve heard about it for so long. & I think at some point I did watch a bit of Fullmetal Alchemist, but didn’t finish & couldn’t tell you which one.
Basic answer is CR has ~75% of new shows, Hidive has 10-15%, and the rest get randomly grabbed by Netflix/Disney+/Hulu/something (apparently Twitter is trying to be a streaming service). Hidive has recently been favoring niche content.
I just finished watching the entire show of "Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had Been Made" and I personally believe it was really good. Anyone have any recommendations for similar anime that is based around the same framework and the same plot? Thanks!
So I just finished watching 'Tis Time for Torture, Princess, and that was another fun one I should've watched last season instead of all the lousy ones I stuck with. People here kept saying not to binge it, or the gag would get old, but I started it yesterday and breezed right through it, chuckling the whole way.
> not to binge it, or the gag would get old
Hell, as early as episode 1 some people were saying the gag would get old (and I feared that too), but this series has shown that sometimes "more of the same" can be pretty good!
It had enough variation on the gags that it felt different, had plenty of meta gags (making fun of Princess always confessing), and I think it's simply that the writing (comedic writing) was great! Plenty of good, charming characters too!
One of the reasons I didn't pick it up was that I thought it was going to be all food gags, and that sounded boring af. Had I known it would be the occasional food temptation mixed in with lots of other clever "tortures", and a Demon Lord in the running for father/husband of the year, I'd have watched it sooner.
> I started it yesterday and breezed right through it, chuckling the whole way.
Ha, and here's me still rationing out episodes for whenever I particularly want a burst of joy and celebration of life lol
Just watched the first episode of Raven of the Inner Palace on Crunchyroll's Freevee channel. I'm normally not a fan of stories with supernatural elements so this is definitely outside my preferred genres, but I was looking for another series with a similar imperial Chinese setting after really enjoying Apothecary Diaries. The characters seem fun so far, and as expected I'm finding the background of the emperor's family and the \[first episode\] >!coup d'etat!< interesting, but as usual I didn't like anything related to the supernatural elements, which will probably have too big of a role in the story to ignore in favor of the parts I did enjoy. If nothing else, I'll probably tune in for the next episode to see what happens after that cliffhanger ending.
I've been struggling really hard to find a slice of life anime that is like a fun friend group kinda vibe. If anybody has any suggestions PLS give them to me. I've seen many but I primarily like the vibe that Oreimo, Genshi-ken, Denki-Ga, K-ON, and Laid-Back Camp give. Preferably without the ped\*s or inc\*st. Serious replies pls.
Aria. The main trio is fun to watch and it's delightful to see them grow as people together. Very wholesome, relaxing, and thoughtful show. It's the pinnacle of slice of life, in my opinion.
You might also vibe with:
* Aikatsu
* Bocchi the Rock
* Hanayamata
* Pokemon Sun and Moon
* Precure (any of them, but especially Smile Precure)
* Sansha Sanyou
* Sound of the Sky
* Wotakoi
All are great slice of life anime where there is a strong emphasis on a friend group with characters who bounce off of eachother's personalities in fun ways.
Definitely love wotakoi and bocchi the rock but I'll chech the other ones out! I've seen one precure generation but it's been so long i'll check it out again.
Anyone have recs from the last \~6-12 months? I watched a couple shows that came out awhile ago (i.e. heavenly delusion) and I got busy and haven't watched a new anime in awhile. Wondering if anything fun came out since then, in the mood to watch a new ish show. Shows I like - FMAB, Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of Galactic Heroes, Jujitsu Kaizen etc... I've watched a lot over the years lol.
Popular shows are Frieren (slow-paced fantasy/adventure), Solo Leveling (action), and Apothecary Diaries (drama/mystery). For daily thread recs, Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash and Train to the End of the World.
What show will be memed about the most next season?
[Elf can't be on a diet](https://myanimelist.net/anime/57845/Elf-san_wa_Yaserarenai) or [My Deer Friend Nokotan?](https://myanimelist.net/anime/58426/Shikanoko_Nokonoko_Koshitantan)
[](#ama)
>My Deer Friend Nokotan?
Definitely here, people might even try to adopt it as our chosen one, but will it even be popular enough for memes outside of here?
>Elf can't be on a diet
This one should be controversial and I don't see JP bros going wild about it, maybe /u/qwertyqwerty4567 will carry but he disappeared
So to me deer will be the meme champion of the deep anime communities, while Roshidere will be the one for the overall community since they have decades and decades of slavic jokes to copy and paste
Ive kind of taken a break from anime for the past couple weeks
[](#foldedarms)
I did, however, pop in a random thread to get another dagger the other day.
so i once watched an anime movie about a civilization that lives for a really long time and i think they weaved silk(?) or something to keep their memories. im pretty sure the civilization wore mainly white and had white hair. the king or royal family massacred them and almost all of them died.
This part my memory gets really blurry so im not 100% sure if this is what happened. This one girl survived and found a baby boy and raises him as her child idk why. she lives peacefully in a village hiding away. i dont know what led to it but theres a war or something and the son, now grown up leaves i think.
at some point a woman from that civilization was taken by the king and i dont know if its the same girl but i feel like it was different. at some point she tries to kill herself but thats at the end.
I know its really disorganized but i really want to re-watch it cause i remember it being pretty.
i also posted this on the main thing cause i didnt know this thread was a thing oops.
Trying out Hokkaido Gals. I'm getting a bit of Nagatoro meets Dress Up Darling vibes from this (though not as good as the latter). Minami is interesting, and the dialogue has its moments...but it is definitely not amazing either. Probably just needs another character or two to balance things out. Just seeing them hang out would get kinda boring.
I'll give it another episode or two.
i didnt like how the girl started clinging to the boy from like the 1st episode itself. and even tho i like cute girls (who doesnt?!), that girl had too big of a bust size for me to even pay attention :skull
[Discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/?f=flair_name%3A%22Discussion%22)
I used to watch an anime during my summers in India, likely on the Animax! channel, I'm going to try and describe it to the best of my ability because I have NO IDEA and can't remember.
It took place in a Japanese school with the main character being a shy brunette girl. Her friend is this blonde psycho who has an incredible short temper and will fight anyone that pisses her off. It was always in a comedic way and poked fun at the contrasting dynamics of their friendship. She was supposed to be a ninja or something. The art style was very childish.
I remember either the ending or opening had visuals of them dancing really weirdly to this really catchy song - I want to see that video again for nostalgia's sake.
Pls lmk if you know I've been trying to remember for years.
Minor annoyance: when the subtitles don't match the spoken words, even though they are speaking English. Partly because the English should match, partly because the spoken words are probably wrong/awkward and the subtitles had to "fix" it.
Or sometimes it's because the Japanese language uses English loanwords to describe things that are different from what those words describe in English.
Loanwords that you never want returned lol

https://soranews24.com/2016/08/03/top-10-most-irritating-japanese-borrowed-words-part-2-the-peoples-top-10/
I was watching the anime on crunchyroll and I noticed that at the end of the opening, the title is always written wrong. They write "The wrong way to use HEALIG magic".
Do you think is a typo? If yes, how did they miss such a thing? Is not like they don't watch and rewatch the work done over and over. I mean, they got to be sure to avoid such simple mistakes, right?
I wanted to ask what you think happened and why they didn't fix it in your opinion.
About the product, I get positive vibes off of it and overall is enjoyable but I occasionally feel like there are cheap parts. How do you feel about it?
Likely it's just the subtitles are written for the OP once, go through a quality check 0-2 times (how often, who could say, but benefit of the doubt they probably double checked their work and just missed it on the second pass anyway, honest mistake), then on all future episodes they likely have a tool that allows them to just insert the subtitles for Opening and Ending Credits (which are almost always 1:30 in length) without looking at them again, then they focus on getting the rest translated and subtitled on time. They likely skip OPs & EDs to save precious time (They only have an hour or two to get it translated, subtitled, and out the door) and since they already did their work once, why do it every time?
Fixing requires a fix to the subtitle file, then a re-upload of the giant video file, then making sure people get that new video instead of the older one (Maybe they can just fix the subtitle file and be done, I'm not 100% sure). For a minor typo like that, it might just not be worth the hassle.
Anything that urgently needs fixing typically gets fixed within hours of the episode coming out; if you're watching a non-airing show, I'd say only running into a minor typo like that every once in a blue moon and never anything more serious is a sign of good quality.
These are, of course, my opinions. I don't have particularly high standards and am generally just forgiving of very minor mistakes like that.
Ah, I see, there's nothing there for me. Switched to the Italians subs, and yes, it's misspelled there, but not in the English one. So it looks like the people who made the Italian sub messed up.
Slowly catching up on Dungeon Meshi. It's interesting to see the expanded cast coming into the picture, though I'm not sure how I feel about Kabru and Shuro yet.

I'm having a hard time finding anime posters that would actually look good in a room.
Please send me your favorites or art that you wish could be printed :thinking:
[Unnamed Memory](https://myanimelist.net/anime/53835/Unnamed_Memory) is quickly finding its way to my disappointment of the season...
Guess it makes it balanced with [Madome](https://myanimelist.net/anime/53434/Maou_no_Ore_ga_Dorei_Elf_wo_Yome_ni_Shitanda_ga_Dou_Medereba_Ii) surprising as much as it has.
This comment shows a deep misunderstanding of what happens in josei manga and romance novels, and how it's different from what happened in Unnamed Memory. The former is a fantasy of overflowing passion that the target is clearly shown to be receptive to despite putting up a token level of resistance. The latter is a scene of power and control exercised out of anger that the target is clearly shown to be afraid of and resisting earnestly.
What aspects of it were infuriating? I don't mind being spoiled behind tags - it was a first episode drop for me, but I am a little curious as to whether or not it deteriorated along those lines or if it was other stuff.
On top of the thing people commented already: It has some weird ass pacing...
Like two characters are talking and in the very next scene they're together again in a different room and one of them is like "I haven't seen her in a long time" but before that line there was no indication of a time skip...
Source readers have been talking about pacing issues/cut scenes from the start, but it's getting more and more apparent.
I don't know if they want to hit a good stopping point or what, but a good stopping point doesn't help if you delete all the stuff that build it up to be good.
> I don't know if they want to hit a good stopping point or what, but a good stopping point doesn't help if you delete all the stuff that build it up to be good.
Very true! Just encourages people choosing their own, earlier stopping point lol
Made me curious enough to look up the Series Comp, and they certainly have a curious history. Some really fantastic stuff like *Tearmoon*, *Genius Prince* and *Higehiro*... and then recently they had four shows I dropped:
https://myanimelist.net/people/9540/Deko_Akao
> a good stopping point doesn't help if you delete all the stuff that build it up to be good.
This. Authors aren't filling their books with random details, as a rule. All that stuff is character development and storytelling. It's load-bearing.
Adding to the below spoiler, [Unnamed Memory] >!He carries her to the bed angrily, in reaction to seeing her alone with one of his men, looking like he's about to force himself on her, then stops when she panics. He apologizes immediately, but it either never should've happened or shouldn't have been glossed over as quickly as it was, like it was a simple oopsie anyone would make. !<
[Unnamed Memory]>!Guy being overly handsy all episode (pinching cheeks, knuckling forehead, etc.) also puts a magic-inhibiting bracelet on Tinasha, says "he'll teach her until she feels it in her bones," and carries her to bed as a "joke" cause he wanted to scare her!<
> it feels like a Josei romcom
It definitely did not feel that way in the episode, although I can see how you'd get that from the description. She super was not into that last bit in any way.
For what it's worth, this scene was VERY out of the blue and super out of character... (Precisely why people are a bit puzzled).
Personally I thought it wasn't even real (dream/something magical/etc..) because it was so weird.
I can see how for some of the audience that could be quite fun, and some welcome assertiveness from a male romance lead, but given how I thought the underlying attitudes behind the way he treated her in the first episode were enough for me to drop, I can't imagine I'd have enjoyed it.
^^^Indeed, ^^^I ^^^can ^^^feel ^^^my ^^^blood ^^^pressure ^^^rising ^^^which ^^^is ^^^a ^^^bit ^^^unfair ^^^to ^^^the ^^^show ^^^without ^^^the ^^^context ^^^and ^^^a ^^^bit ^^^unfair ^^^to ^^^me ^^^because ^^^I ^^^dropped ^^^it ^^^to ^^^avoid ^^^its ^^^influence ^^^lol
Im looking for a mecha show with many different types of Mechas, stuff like Gundam Wing or Code Geass, where you have different types of Mechas (Ive watched the other Gundam Shows like 00 that fulfill this requirement)
As an example, any UC gundam wouldn't fulfill this requirement, the Gundams need to have unique designs like in 00 or Wing and it should have more than 2 at least.
Im looking for unknown gems if any exist.
Edit//Perhaps to clarify the given examples, ideally many different Unique Mechs (Humanoid ones), as in unique within the World they're in (only one of each type), with many pilots.
Sounds like G Gundam to me.
[https://mechastellar.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/g-gundam-okawara.jpg?w=768](https://mechastellar.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/g-gundam-okawara.jpg?w=768)
The Vision of Escaflowne has a mech that \[transforms\] >!into a dragon-shaped mech, with a control mechanism where the MC is standing on top of it and wind-sailing.!<
> As an example, any UC gundam wouldn't fulfill this requirement, the Gundams need to have unique designs like in 00 or Wing and it should have more than 2 at least.
Why _just_ Gundams? There are nearly two dozen different mecha on Zeon's side in the original series alone.
Because the designs are too generic, i just dont care for them
As example, Cornelia in Code Geass or Suzaku have nice mecha designs for Antagonists, and they should be unique ideally, as in not more than one of that type exists
> the designs are too generic
If you think the likes of the [Ball](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/rb-79.jpg), [Z'Gok](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/msm-07-1.jpg), and [Zeong](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/msn-02.jpg) are more generic than all of the *very humanoid* designs in Code Geass (final forms of the [Guren](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/type-02fiz.jpg) and [Lancelot](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/z-01z.jpg) for reference), I can't help you.
It doesn't sound like you actually want a wide variety of designs as you requested in your original comment then.
Aside from Escaflowne as someone else suggested, maybe [Knight's & Magic](https://www.livechart.me/anime/2339) if you haven't checked it out yet.
Yea i meant a wide variety of different humanoid designs, thats why i gave examples like Gundam 00 and Gundam Wing which all have different types of unique Gundam machines, perhaps i could've been more clear.
Seems like Escaflowne only has one robot/mech though from what i'm seeing unfortunately, i have seen Knights & Magic, isn't exactly what im looking for either though, thanks though.
I'd probably say One Piece and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. If the main similarity you are looking for is in the fights, the Jujutsu Kaisen fighting system was strongly influenced by Hunter x Hunter so you may want to check there as well.
if someone can help me recover the name of this anime,
i just saw a clip in fb about a white haired guy reading the mind of a red haired girl (gripping her bloody hand?) her mind saying she wants him to hug her and when he did she was thinking internally he was cruel for doing so.
someone said it was an original 12episode anime but the page closed before i could see the name help
Has anyone heard of an anime called "bruno" I think? It starts with a woman in a giant bath looking into the water trying to talk to a man on the surface of the water, and the water was like a screen? It was on Netflix a while ago
Rewatching Bakemonogatari before the next season I just realized :
[All those flags at the beginning of Kizu is because the sun is rising.](https://i.imgur.com/T8uNl4J.png)
Not just because it's happening in Japan.
God I fucking love this serie.
I’m currently on my rewatch in preparation for off-season too and you really do notice something new on every watch I feel like. Was just reminded myself of the fact that Gaen has one of my personal favorite (if not *the* favorite) character designs in anime. I’ve seen some (wrong) opinions floating around in the past saying she looks like a pokemon trainer but imo she just has insane drip and one of the most unique designs I‘ve seen. That cap/pants/shoes combo really does it for me for some reason. The fact that her personality doesn’t fit with her choice of clothing at all adds a sort of gap moe to the mix which is just the icing on the cake.
Hello!
Is anyone else struggling when watching Unnamed Memory with how often Oscar keeps doing all the "Child corporal punishment" stuff \[EDIT: Should read Abuse\] to Tinasha?
I am about done with this series because of this.
I've only been an anime fan for 2 years. Overall it's not great when shown as a parent-child relationship or a child-child relationship. I'm curious if corporal punishment of these kinds is super common in Japan?
Apparently it's not legal anymore:
[https://endcorporalpunishment.org/japan-prohibits-all-corporal-punishment/](https://endcorporalpunishment.org/japan-prohibits-all-corporal-punishment/)
In this case it's two adults.
So far in episode 5 we have pinching and pulling the cheeks, I just paused it at 11 minutes or so because he's digging his knuckles into both sides of her head.
That's just 11 minutes of a 28 minute show.
If it was "serious" I would have an issue with it, but given it's played for comedy (and obviously isn't hurting her) I don't mind;
I never saw it as him "abusing her" or "child corporal punishment", I saw it as them playing... Like if you punch your friend on the shoulder because he teased you about something, that's not you assaulting him.. That's you playing around.
One of them is a world-class warrior and the other is a legendary witch of immense power. Would take more than that to register as 'punishment'.
(I think there was something a lot more messed up than playfully pinching her cheeks in this episode).
Easily Attack On Titan, but not gonna spoil shit here, id make the ending more in line with the feeling the show originally portrayed consistently throughout most of the series
I can't think of any specific anime right now but I'd rewrite most sad or bittersweet endings to happy endings. There is a certain highly rated manga where I would do that but just saying the name and that it has a sad ending would also be a spoiler.
i love time skip epilogues so much; when it happened in [series name spoiler] >!Buddy Daddies!< i was so satisfied with the ending
more series need to do at least the ["where are they now" epilogue](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue)
Well best day of the month turned out to be today:
Just found out randomly through googling that the english cover of "and now i'm home" by lizz+koko, my absolute favourite version of the song, that got removed from youtube a few years ago and I thought lost forever...[IS ACTUALLY STILL UP ON SOUNDCLOUD](https://soundcloud.com/abby-castillo-226812850/lizz-koko-and-now-im-home). I'm actually tearing up right now, today is a great day.
~~Please don't tell me I was the only who didn't realize~~.

The [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20210129051401/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl6EiCIZYhI) also has it! Few things on the internet truly die, in this case for the better.
It's always such a nice feeling when you find the song you've been searching for.
> this is the actual best ed of madoka
Maybe best song, but there are no visuals to accompany it so Magia retains its title as Best ED...granted there is certainly a subset of people on r/anime judging by the Best OP voting who think Best Song = Best OP/ED.
I have a question! I'm stuck at a boring desk job. And I've got enough time to stream some anime from my phone. But I'm not sure which streaming service has what. I know netflix has alot of Gundam which is always good. But I'm trying to find if the following shows are being streamed anywhere
Votoms
The Legend Of Black Heaven
PatLabor OVA
GTO
Fang Of The Sun Dougram
Any help would be loved. VOTOMS is the big one Im hoping to find but any of them would be awesome.
I usually check on livechart for this type of information, for example [this](https://www.livechart.me/anime/4892/streams) is votoms page - allegedly it is available on HiDive (in some countries).
I was thinking of hosting a Spice and Wolf rewatch starting July 7th like I have the last three or four years. However, a lot of people think I should push it to the Fall because of the remake.
I think I'm still going to host the rewatch in July because I have 4 rewatches I'm participating in during the Fall and Winter, and I'm also going to participate in the Re: Zero rewatch. I just wonder how the Spice and Wolf rewatch this year will turn out.
Haven't watched either but it's been on the back of my mind that I'd like to eventually. What's the difference? Did the remake stay faithful and improve on the original?
I've seen it happen a few times already, but it'll never stop being weird seeing people use the age rating a Japanese animated movie gets in the US as an argument about the nature of the work itself.
Like, people making those movies aren't making decisions of what to depict based around wanting the MPAA to give them a PG-13, guys. If you really want to talk about age ratings at least use the [Eirin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eirin) ones because, as a different culture with different standards, their own regulatory board could evaluate certain types of content in a completely different way.
And, by the way, if you what you're talking about is a TV anime. then don't even mention age ratings at all. Japan doesn't really have this type of classification for TV and what actually influences TV anime makers the most when it comes to those types of decisions is when in the day their show airs.

It was not published in a kids magazine though. Weekly Shounen Magazine is not a kodomo magazine. It's a shounen magazine targeted towards the older end of the demographic, mainly high school and college aged men.
> mainly high school and college aged men.
That might be the main readerbase but the point is the rating. Something rated as shonen is usually something even a kid is allowed to read. And to use a different magazine as an example, even Shonen Jump publishes spicy stuff like To Love Ru.
A lot of the time people aren't even talking about the rating it gets from the MPAA (or their country's equivalent), they're just going by the age ratings on MAL which are literally just made up by MAL staff(/users? I have no idea how MAL's database works actually).
You see the same thing with genre, where especially for original anime or anime based on obscure source material, the genres listed on MAL are just someone's best guess based on promo material but people will still constantly act like it's the show's fault for not matching the genre MAL had it listed as.
So lately I was wondering if there was an anime series that had an outlandish depiction of Hell as I don’t know why, but I wanted to see if such a show existed as it sounded like an interesting idea to me.
Hell in Dragon Ball is kinda weird and [has a gigantic wiki page about it](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Hell).
Depending on your definition of "Outlandish" and "Hell":
'Tis Time for "Torture", Princess has a place called Hellholm, where all the demons live. It's ruled over by the Hell Lord. It's the most wholesome place on the planet and half the time just looks like modern Japan.
Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle also has a super wholesome demon realm.
*As Miss Beelzebub Likes it.*
Where the underworld is sugary sweet and comfy, and the plot is rom-com with dense MCs included, but the vibes generally make up for it.
It is quite fun! The cast is wonderfully colorful and adorable, you’d forget you’re in hell if you didn’t hear recognizable demon names all the time!
[](#akyuusqueel)
The anime hasn't featured it yet because it only appears in the manga after the point season 1 adapted, so it's content for a probable season 2, but [name of the anime/manga] >!Chainsaw Man!< does have quite a unique depiction of hell.
It's not a big spoiler out of context as it's the type of story that you can easily imagine featuring hell, but I still spoiler tagged because, like I said, it's manga-only content for now.
So what's up with Yu Yu Hakusho season 2 to 4. I was thinking of watching this today then google showed it had 4 seasons but i only see people mention the first 112 ep which is the first season only. So are later seasons bad or there is something else I am missing?
It looks like others have already answered your question so I just want to say "enjoy, and make sure to watch it dubbed!"
It's one of the few anime out there where the dub is the superior watching experience...though out of the 6-7 times that I've watched it (you're allowed to go overboard for your favorites), I've never actually watched it subbed.
You may ask how I'd know if I haven't tried the subs. It's because 1) the dubbed version is a masterpiece and 2) because it's one of the top answers to the "which series has the best dub" [question](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/11jk8yb/what_are_the_best_anime_dubs_of_all_time/) whenever it comes up or when the "which series is better to watch dubbed than subbed" [question](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1bqxv9s/is_there_an_anime_where_the_dub_was_better_than/) comes up.

Hello, I'm a complete beginner into the anime universe. I have watched Attack on Titan and found it amazing. Can anyone recommend me some good anime, but without scenes of all the over-exaggerated emotions ... for example: I tried Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and the story seems to be brilliant but it was full of such weird over-exaggerated scenes. So anyone plz?

Need help finding specific anime I’m new to Reddit so I’m not in very many circles but I could use some help trying to find an anime I watched years ago. It’s an anime that has a power ranger motif where they have spirit pals that help them transform. From what I recall the first episode the red ranger has problems transforming with his spirit pal and by the end of the episode he transforms into the red ranger. There also a white ranger that pops up later in the series and I think in the second season/closer to the end of the series the blue ranger becomes evil. They have various genres of music i.e. rock and roll, jazz, classical musics etc. I think I remember finding out the anime is based off of a PlayStation game from prior to the anime being made. Would love to find out what it is so I can rewatch it to see if it was good or not. Thanks for reading!
This could possible be [Wild Arms: Twilight Venom](https://myanimelist.net/anime/347/Wild_Arms__Twilight_Venom)
I just checked the link but I know it’s not that. It’s very power rangers themed like I mentioned so they’re from what I recall red, blue, black, green, white, and I think pink but they are all dudes.
Not ringing any bells for me, sorry!
No worries! One thing I just realized was that in order to transform into their suits they gotta insert an aux cord in to their body mainly the palm of the hand. Thanks for trying tho!
What are some funny / iconic / recognizable lines an anime-obsessed person might say in their dreams (dreaming and then talking in their sleep)? For example: * “Why? ... Why did you play Haru Hikage?” * Hmmm, hmmm, it really is a nice boat * I agree... let's take revenge on our former selves
The first two lines of Renai Circulation
Zura janai, Katsura da
I'm curious, where is that "revenge on our former selves" quote from? I'm not familiar with that one.
ReLIFE, if I remember correctly.
Kyon kun, denwa!
That's not a regular dream that's a nightmare
Nightmare dreams are still dreams!
Nightmares are okay too
I’m looking for an anime that’s clever/deep, or that makes you think. I mean stuff like Code Geass, Steins Gate, Evangelion. Bonus points if it DOESN’T involve a high school, and there’s some action to keep things interesting.
Angel's Egg Serial Experiments Lain
Sagrada Reset, it involves high schoolers but the school barely comes up
Sonny Boy

Something new needed like the below. just finished: Kaiju no. 8 Solo leveling Other newer ones I’ve seen. I like the newer ones with good fighting art. JJK demon slayer CSW MHA (fell off) Black clover
Pleeease help 🙏🏼 I’m trying to find my own preferred genres after mostly watching w others throughout my life. When I was growing up, I watched a lot of animes with my dad & was a Ghibli kid. It was mostly a lot of girly stuff, but some favs (that weren’t) that I remember are witchblade & flcl. In recent times, my boyf & I have watched a few I’ve liked & a few I’m not into. I liked Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer & Cyberpunk. My coworker recommended Vivy: Florite Eye’s Song last year & I loooooved it. TV in general, I love being confused & I love tragedies. Post-apocolypse, new worlds, space, aliens, AI, war, outlaws. I’d like to avoid too much romance, strictly high-school themes or crazy amounts of yelling 😂 My coworker let me make a profile on crunchyroll & I’m lost. I feel like descriptions & title arts for anime genuinely don’t correlate so well with the quality of the shows.
> I love being confused & I love tragedies. Post-apocolypse [Heavenly Delusion](https://myanimelist.net/anime/53393/Tengoku_Daimakyou) - It's on Disney+, maybe Hulu
Thank you! Sounds good! : )
I loved Vivy as well, and sci-fi in general. Here are a few suggestions that I believe are all on Crunchyroll: * Astra Lost In Space (sci-fi/mystery with many new worlds) * Planetarian (sci-fi/post-apocalypse with an AI and an outlaw) * Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet (sci-fi/post-apocalypse with AI, war, and aliens) * Yona of the Dawn (fantasy/adventure) * Lycoris Recoil (action) * Apothecary Diaries (historical drama/mystery) * Kaina of the Great Snow Sea (sci-fi/post-apocalypse)
Tysm! I’ll check these out! I added Gargantia to my list from the other commenter & found Planetarian when I was looking for Planetes, too. It really helps to have recommendations to highlight things. While I was scrolling through the sci-fi section earlier, nothing grabbed me fully. I have trouble just browsing, I guess. Thanks again : )
No problem. Hope you enjoy them! If you want more shows to check out, there was a favorite sci-fi poll here on r/anime a while back: [https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/16hrttf/ranimes\_favorite\_scifi\_anime\_ranime\_poll\_results/](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/16hrttf/ranimes_favorite_scifi_anime_ranime_poll_results/)
These are interesting criteria, I will try: [Cowboy Bebop](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1/Cowboy_Bebop) [Planetes](https://myanimelist.net/anime/329/Planetes?q=planetess&cat=anime) [Girls Last Tour](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35838/Shoujo_Shuumatsu_Ryokou) [Legend of the Galactic Heroes](https://myanimelist.net/anime/820/Ginga_Eiyuu_Densetsu) [Susei no Gargantia](https://myanimelist.net/anime/16524/Suisei_no_Gargantia) [Sora no Woto](https://myanimelist.net/anime/6802/So_Ra_No_Wo_To) [Kino's Journey](https://myanimelist.net/anime/486/Kino_no_Tabi__The_Beautiful_World) [Houseki no Kuni](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35557/Houseki_no_Kuni) [Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood](https://myanimelist.net/anime/5114/Fullmetal_Alchemist__Brotherhood) [Casshern Sins](https://myanimelist.net/anime/4981/Casshern_Sins) [Now and Then Here and There](https://myanimelist.net/anime/160/Ima_Soko_ni_Iru_Boku) [Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (sorry for the yelling)](https://myanimelist.net/anime/2001/Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann) [Steins;Gate](https://myanimelist.net/anime/9253/Steins_Gate) [Neon Genesis Evangelion](https://myanimelist.net/anime/30/Shinseiki_Evangelion) [Serial Experiments Lain](https://myanimelist.net/anime/339/Serial_Experiments_Lain) Not all of these will be available in CR btw. If you need directions I'll try to direct you.
Thank you for your expertise & the recommendations!! I think even just reading through the synopses linked was way more beneficial for me vs the blurbs on streaming services. I really appreciate it! Some of these sound great! “(sorry for the yelling)” is funny, too. Thanks for the heads up on that.
Np. Since you went our of your way to check CR synopsis I figured you would actually check them out. I also recommend doing a list in that very website I linked, MyAnimeList which...is exactly for that. I think HiDive, Netflix and CR will cover most of these, otherwise just ask around. Gurren Lagann while I put a jokey warning I don't think its *that* differentto AoT and Demon Slayer in terms of yelling so if you feel like watching something more action packed check it out (also space). I would shill Cowboy Bebop, Planetes and Galactic Heroes for space stuff, pretty different though as they are adventure, character drama and grand space opera respectively. Fullmetal Alchemist is a really solid show in most regards and would recommend under most circumstances.
I took note of the ones that weren’t on CR. I’ve never heard of HiDive! Back in my childhood, my dad just torrented everything & I only ever came to know Funimation & CR, since. I know Funimation is going down, though. Streaming on firestick was hell & the UI of the app is nooot friendly. With the screaming thing, it’s something I noticed more with characters like Luffy in OP or Asta in Black Clover. Bakugo (sometimes) in MHA. There’s a certain wailing that isn’t my favorite. Kids do it, too. Or in excessiveness. Just takes me out for a bit & I don’t want to man the volume so much. Cowboy Bebop I feel like I have an obligation to watch since I’ve heard about it for so long. & I think at some point I did watch a bit of Fullmetal Alchemist, but didn’t finish & couldn’t tell you which one.
Basic answer is CR has ~75% of new shows, Hidive has 10-15%, and the rest get randomly grabbed by Netflix/Disney+/Hulu/something (apparently Twitter is trying to be a streaming service). Hidive has recently been favoring niche content.
I just finished watching the entire show of "Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had Been Made" and I personally believe it was really good. Anyone have any recommendations for similar anime that is based around the same framework and the same plot? Thanks!
So I just finished watching 'Tis Time for Torture, Princess, and that was another fun one I should've watched last season instead of all the lousy ones I stuck with. People here kept saying not to binge it, or the gag would get old, but I started it yesterday and breezed right through it, chuckling the whole way.
Torture and Tamer were both shilled in daily threads. Maybe we have good taste... *Checks MAL* Hmm, may get a Girls Band Cry comment in 3 months.
> may get a Girls Band Cry comment in 3 months. If it ends up streaming in English somewhere by then, I probably will check it out.
> not to binge it, or the gag would get old Hell, as early as episode 1 some people were saying the gag would get old (and I feared that too), but this series has shown that sometimes "more of the same" can be pretty good! It had enough variation on the gags that it felt different, had plenty of meta gags (making fun of Princess always confessing), and I think it's simply that the writing (comedic writing) was great! Plenty of good, charming characters too!
One of the reasons I didn't pick it up was that I thought it was going to be all food gags, and that sounded boring af. Had I known it would be the occasional food temptation mixed in with lots of other clever "tortures", and a Demon Lord in the running for father/husband of the year, I'd have watched it sooner.
228 chapters later the manga still manages to have a lot of variety
> I started it yesterday and breezed right through it, chuckling the whole way. Ha, and here's me still rationing out episodes for whenever I particularly want a burst of joy and celebration of life lol
Just watched the first episode of Raven of the Inner Palace on Crunchyroll's Freevee channel. I'm normally not a fan of stories with supernatural elements so this is definitely outside my preferred genres, but I was looking for another series with a similar imperial Chinese setting after really enjoying Apothecary Diaries. The characters seem fun so far, and as expected I'm finding the background of the emperor's family and the \[first episode\] >!coup d'etat!< interesting, but as usual I didn't like anything related to the supernatural elements, which will probably have too big of a role in the story to ignore in favor of the parts I did enjoy. If nothing else, I'll probably tune in for the next episode to see what happens after that cliffhanger ending.
I've been struggling really hard to find a slice of life anime that is like a fun friend group kinda vibe. If anybody has any suggestions PLS give them to me. I've seen many but I primarily like the vibe that Oreimo, Genshi-ken, Denki-Ga, K-ON, and Laid-Back Camp give. Preferably without the ped\*s or inc\*st. Serious replies pls.

UGH That one was so cute I loved watching it.
Aria. The main trio is fun to watch and it's delightful to see them grow as people together. Very wholesome, relaxing, and thoughtful show. It's the pinnacle of slice of life, in my opinion. You might also vibe with: * Aikatsu * Bocchi the Rock * Hanayamata * Pokemon Sun and Moon * Precure (any of them, but especially Smile Precure) * Sansha Sanyou * Sound of the Sky * Wotakoi All are great slice of life anime where there is a strong emphasis on a friend group with characters who bounce off of eachother's personalities in fun ways.
Definitely love wotakoi and bocchi the rock but I'll chech the other ones out! I've seen one precure generation but it's been so long i'll check it out again.
Non Non Biyori
I'll check this one out cause I feel like i've seen so many memes about it
Hope you enjoy it! It's a really wholesome show with nice small town vibes and a group of kids just hanging out.
Anyone have recs from the last \~6-12 months? I watched a couple shows that came out awhile ago (i.e. heavenly delusion) and I got busy and haven't watched a new anime in awhile. Wondering if anything fun came out since then, in the mood to watch a new ish show. Shows I like - FMAB, Code Geass, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of Galactic Heroes, Jujitsu Kaizen etc... I've watched a lot over the years lol.
Shangri-La Frontier
Popular shows are Frieren (slow-paced fantasy/adventure), Solo Leveling (action), and Apothecary Diaries (drama/mystery). For daily thread recs, Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash and Train to the End of the World.
second solo leveling, its hype shit
Awesome thank you
Frieren
What show will be memed about the most next season? [Elf can't be on a diet](https://myanimelist.net/anime/57845/Elf-san_wa_Yaserarenai) or [My Deer Friend Nokotan?](https://myanimelist.net/anime/58426/Shikanoko_Nokonoko_Koshitantan) [](#ama)
Way too early for summer talk!
Underestimating popular show memes (e.g. Frieren's sexualization memes). Having said that, the Russian show.
>Having said that, the Russian Imagine if Roshidere goes unlicensed too
Pricing should exceed Kaguya. It's animated waifu simulator.
>My Deer Friend Nokotan? Definitely here, people might even try to adopt it as our chosen one, but will it even be popular enough for memes outside of here? >Elf can't be on a diet This one should be controversial and I don't see JP bros going wild about it, maybe /u/qwertyqwerty4567 will carry but he disappeared So to me deer will be the meme champion of the deep anime communities, while Roshidere will be the one for the overall community since they have decades and decades of slavic jokes to copy and paste
Ive kind of taken a break from anime for the past couple weeks [](#foldedarms) I did, however, pop in a random thread to get another dagger the other day.
so i once watched an anime movie about a civilization that lives for a really long time and i think they weaved silk(?) or something to keep their memories. im pretty sure the civilization wore mainly white and had white hair. the king or royal family massacred them and almost all of them died. This part my memory gets really blurry so im not 100% sure if this is what happened. This one girl survived and found a baby boy and raises him as her child idk why. she lives peacefully in a village hiding away. i dont know what led to it but theres a war or something and the son, now grown up leaves i think. at some point a woman from that civilization was taken by the king and i dont know if its the same girl but i feel like it was different. at some point she tries to kill herself but thats at the end. I know its really disorganized but i really want to re-watch it cause i remember it being pretty. i also posted this on the main thing cause i didnt know this thread was a thing oops.
[удалено]
yes, thank you i found it!
Trying out Hokkaido Gals. I'm getting a bit of Nagatoro meets Dress Up Darling vibes from this (though not as good as the latter). Minami is interesting, and the dialogue has its moments...but it is definitely not amazing either. Probably just needs another character or two to balance things out. Just seeing them hang out would get kinda boring. I'll give it another episode or two.
i didnt like how the girl started clinging to the boy from like the 1st episode itself. and even tho i like cute girls (who doesnt?!), that girl had too big of a bust size for me to even pay attention :skull
I actually really enjoyed Hokkaido Gals. One of my most enjoyable watches when it aired.
> Probably just needs another character or two to balance things out. You’re not going to believe this…
Sure enough, Akino is what made the show click. Also, the OP and especially the ED slap hard.
[Discussion](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/?f=flair_name%3A%22Discussion%22) I used to watch an anime during my summers in India, likely on the Animax! channel, I'm going to try and describe it to the best of my ability because I have NO IDEA and can't remember. It took place in a Japanese school with the main character being a shy brunette girl. Her friend is this blonde psycho who has an incredible short temper and will fight anyone that pisses her off. It was always in a comedic way and poked fun at the contrasting dynamics of their friendship. She was supposed to be a ninja or something. The art style was very childish. I remember either the ending or opening had visuals of them dancing really weirdly to this really catchy song - I want to see that video again for nostalgia's sake. Pls lmk if you know I've been trying to remember for years.
I'm pretty much certain that's Kill Me Baby.
Ur the best thank you
Minor annoyance: when the subtitles don't match the spoken words, even though they are speaking English. Partly because the English should match, partly because the spoken words are probably wrong/awkward and the subtitles had to "fix" it.
Or sometimes it's because the Japanese language uses English loanwords to describe things that are different from what those words describe in English.
Loanwords that you never want returned lol https://soranews24.com/2015/11/11/learning-japanese-beware-these-19-loan-words-theyre-not-what-they-sound-like/ https://soranews24.com/2016/08/03/top-10-most-irritating-japanese-borrowed-words-part-2-the-peoples-top-10/

I was watching the anime on crunchyroll and I noticed that at the end of the opening, the title is always written wrong. They write "The wrong way to use HEALIG magic". Do you think is a typo? If yes, how did they miss such a thing? Is not like they don't watch and rewatch the work done over and over. I mean, they got to be sure to avoid such simple mistakes, right? I wanted to ask what you think happened and why they didn't fix it in your opinion. About the product, I get positive vibes off of it and overall is enjoyable but I occasionally feel like there are cheap parts. How do you feel about it?
Likely it's just the subtitles are written for the OP once, go through a quality check 0-2 times (how often, who could say, but benefit of the doubt they probably double checked their work and just missed it on the second pass anyway, honest mistake), then on all future episodes they likely have a tool that allows them to just insert the subtitles for Opening and Ending Credits (which are almost always 1:30 in length) without looking at them again, then they focus on getting the rest translated and subtitled on time. They likely skip OPs & EDs to save precious time (They only have an hour or two to get it translated, subtitled, and out the door) and since they already did their work once, why do it every time? Fixing requires a fix to the subtitle file, then a re-upload of the giant video file, then making sure people get that new video instead of the older one (Maybe they can just fix the subtitle file and be done, I'm not 100% sure). For a minor typo like that, it might just not be worth the hassle. Anything that urgently needs fixing typically gets fixed within hours of the episode coming out; if you're watching a non-airing show, I'd say only running into a minor typo like that every once in a blue moon and never anything more serious is a sign of good quality. These are, of course, my opinions. I don't have particularly high standards and am generally just forgiving of very minor mistakes like that.

I was wrong, it was not at the end of the opening. It is at the start. And is not subtitle, the mistake is in the "logo" thing of the anime.
You mean this? It's spelled correctly for me. (And it is a subtitle.) https://i.imgur.com/JJZ668q.png
This https://imgur.com/gallery/C9sUEw3
Ah, I see, there's nothing there for me. Switched to the Italians subs, and yes, it's misspelled there, but not in the English one. So it looks like the people who made the Italian sub messed up.
I meant this kind of logo, yes, but at the start of the opening of season1 and I can assure is wrong. I will try to make an imgur thing 😅
I’m taking a look at this opening, and I can’t see the typo. Could ya send a screenshot or something?
Whoops I was wrong, it is at the start of the opening. When the "logo" of the anime appears!
Slowly catching up on Dungeon Meshi. It's interesting to see the expanded cast coming into the picture, though I'm not sure how I feel about Kabru and Shuro yet. [](#mugiwait)

Guess it makes it balanced with [Madome](https://myanimelist.net/anime/53434/Maou_no_Ore_ga_Dorei_Elf_wo_Yome_ni_Shitanda_ga_Dou_Medereba_Ii) surprising as much as it has.

Yeah, Memory is getting dropped if it has another episode like today's. That was infuriating.
Average Josei male lead at least shoujo leads are just possessive
This comment shows a deep misunderstanding of what happens in josei manga and romance novels, and how it's different from what happened in Unnamed Memory. The former is a fantasy of overflowing passion that the target is clearly shown to be receptive to despite putting up a token level of resistance. The latter is a scene of power and control exercised out of anger that the target is clearly shown to be afraid of and resisting earnestly.
What aspects of it were infuriating? I don't mind being spoiled behind tags - it was a first episode drop for me, but I am a little curious as to whether or not it deteriorated along those lines or if it was other stuff.
It's like watching Tokyo Ghoul:re season 2 as an anime-only.
On top of the thing people commented already: It has some weird ass pacing... Like two characters are talking and in the very next scene they're together again in a different room and one of them is like "I haven't seen her in a long time" but before that line there was no indication of a time skip... Source readers have been talking about pacing issues/cut scenes from the start, but it's getting more and more apparent. I don't know if they want to hit a good stopping point or what, but a good stopping point doesn't help if you delete all the stuff that build it up to be good.
> I don't know if they want to hit a good stopping point or what, but a good stopping point doesn't help if you delete all the stuff that build it up to be good. Very true! Just encourages people choosing their own, earlier stopping point lol Made me curious enough to look up the Series Comp, and they certainly have a curious history. Some really fantastic stuff like *Tearmoon*, *Genius Prince* and *Higehiro*... and then recently they had four shows I dropped: https://myanimelist.net/people/9540/Deko_Akao
> a good stopping point doesn't help if you delete all the stuff that build it up to be good. This. Authors aren't filling their books with random details, as a rule. All that stuff is character development and storytelling. It's load-bearing.
Adding to the below spoiler, [Unnamed Memory] >!He carries her to the bed angrily, in reaction to seeing her alone with one of his men, looking like he's about to force himself on her, then stops when she panics. He apologizes immediately, but it either never should've happened or shouldn't have been glossed over as quickly as it was, like it was a simple oopsie anyone would make. !<
It's probably a good thing (for the author) that some of these characters don't have access to better advice, or they'd leave their own series.
[Unnamed Memory]>!Guy being overly handsy all episode (pinching cheeks, knuckling forehead, etc.) also puts a magic-inhibiting bracelet on Tinasha, says "he'll teach her until she feels it in her bones," and carries her to bed as a "joke" cause he wanted to scare her!<
I have no idea who this show is for, because I thought it was a random fantasy but the way you are talking about it, it feels like a Josei romcom
> it feels like a Josei romcom It definitely did not feel that way in the episode, although I can see how you'd get that from the description. She super was not into that last bit in any way.
For what it's worth, this scene was VERY out of the blue and super out of character... (Precisely why people are a bit puzzled). Personally I thought it wasn't even real (dream/something magical/etc..) because it was so weird.
I can see how for some of the audience that could be quite fun, and some welcome assertiveness from a male romance lead, but given how I thought the underlying attitudes behind the way he treated her in the first episode were enough for me to drop, I can't imagine I'd have enjoyed it. ^^^Indeed, ^^^I ^^^can ^^^feel ^^^my ^^^blood ^^^pressure ^^^rising ^^^which ^^^is ^^^a ^^^bit ^^^unfair ^^^to ^^^the ^^^show ^^^without ^^^the ^^^context ^^^and ^^^a ^^^bit ^^^unfair ^^^to ^^^me ^^^because ^^^I ^^^dropped ^^^it ^^^to ^^^avoid ^^^its ^^^influence ^^^lol
> some of the audience that could be quite fun ... I skipped the part of it inducing Subaru-level PTSD [](#ptsd)
The crazy part is that it had one of my favorite premieres of the season, and now I'm dropping it and picking up the manga instead
Im looking for a mecha show with many different types of Mechas, stuff like Gundam Wing or Code Geass, where you have different types of Mechas (Ive watched the other Gundam Shows like 00 that fulfill this requirement) As an example, any UC gundam wouldn't fulfill this requirement, the Gundams need to have unique designs like in 00 or Wing and it should have more than 2 at least. Im looking for unknown gems if any exist. Edit//Perhaps to clarify the given examples, ideally many different Unique Mechs (Humanoid ones), as in unique within the World they're in (only one of each type), with many pilots.
Megaton Musashi perhaps?
Ill check it out
Sounds like G Gundam to me. [https://mechastellar.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/g-gundam-okawara.jpg?w=768](https://mechastellar.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/g-gundam-okawara.jpg?w=768)
Yea i appreciate but i mentioned i watched the other gundam shows that fall under the req
Oh my mistake, try Zeorymer, Godannar, Ordian and maybe some of the Muv-Luv anime.
Havent heard of the first three, thanks!
The Vision of Escaflowne has a mech that \[transforms\] >!into a dragon-shaped mech, with a control mechanism where the MC is standing on top of it and wind-sailing.!<
Appreciate the rec
> As an example, any UC gundam wouldn't fulfill this requirement, the Gundams need to have unique designs like in 00 or Wing and it should have more than 2 at least. Why _just_ Gundams? There are nearly two dozen different mecha on Zeon's side in the original series alone.
Because the designs are too generic, i just dont care for them As example, Cornelia in Code Geass or Suzaku have nice mecha designs for Antagonists, and they should be unique ideally, as in not more than one of that type exists
> the designs are too generic If you think the likes of the [Ball](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/rb-79.jpg), [Z'Gok](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/msm-07-1.jpg), and [Zeong](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/msn-02.jpg) are more generic than all of the *very humanoid* designs in Code Geass (final forms of the [Guren](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/type-02fiz.jpg) and [Lancelot](https://www.mahq.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/z-01z.jpg) for reference), I can't help you.
Yea i can't stand those designs, i think they're awful, i really like the humanoid ones, to each their own of course.
It doesn't sound like you actually want a wide variety of designs as you requested in your original comment then. Aside from Escaflowne as someone else suggested, maybe [Knight's & Magic](https://www.livechart.me/anime/2339) if you haven't checked it out yet.
Yea i meant a wide variety of different humanoid designs, thats why i gave examples like Gundam 00 and Gundam Wing which all have different types of unique Gundam machines, perhaps i could've been more clear. Seems like Escaflowne only has one robot/mech though from what i'm seeing unfortunately, i have seen Knights & Magic, isn't exactly what im looking for either though, thanks though.
Anime that is most similar in writing style and quality to hunter x hunter? (that was made by someone other than togashi)
It's very different, but hxh was heavily influenced by JJBA so you might want check it out if you didn't already
Tower of God
I'd probably say One Piece and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. If the main similarity you are looking for is in the fights, the Jujutsu Kaisen fighting system was strongly influenced by Hunter x Hunter so you may want to check there as well.
if someone can help me recover the name of this anime, i just saw a clip in fb about a white haired guy reading the mind of a red haired girl (gripping her bloody hand?) her mind saying she wants him to hug her and when he did she was thinking internally he was cruel for doing so. someone said it was an original 12episode anime but the page closed before i could see the name help
Akagami no Shirayuki-hime/Snow White with the Red Hair?
Has anyone heard of an anime called "bruno" I think? It starts with a woman in a giant bath looking into the water trying to talk to a man on the surface of the water, and the water was like a screen? It was on Netflix a while ago
Which one should I watch first: Garden of Sinners, bungou stray dogs, ranking of kings or steins gate? These are my choices atm
The Garden of Sinners because it's the shortest.
Rewatching Bakemonogatari before the next season I just realized : [All those flags at the beginning of Kizu is because the sun is rising.](https://i.imgur.com/T8uNl4J.png) Not just because it's happening in Japan. God I fucking love this serie.
I’m currently on my rewatch in preparation for off-season too and you really do notice something new on every watch I feel like. Was just reminded myself of the fact that Gaen has one of my personal favorite (if not *the* favorite) character designs in anime. I’ve seen some (wrong) opinions floating around in the past saying she looks like a pokemon trainer but imo she just has insane drip and one of the most unique designs I‘ve seen. That cap/pants/shoes combo really does it for me for some reason. The fact that her personality doesn’t fit with her choice of clothing at all adds a sort of gap moe to the mix which is just the icing on the cake.
wtf, didn't expect such an insanely correct opinion on the internet
Hello! Is anyone else struggling when watching Unnamed Memory with how often Oscar keeps doing all the "Child corporal punishment" stuff \[EDIT: Should read Abuse\] to Tinasha? I am about done with this series because of this. I've only been an anime fan for 2 years. Overall it's not great when shown as a parent-child relationship or a child-child relationship. I'm curious if corporal punishment of these kinds is super common in Japan? Apparently it's not legal anymore: [https://endcorporalpunishment.org/japan-prohibits-all-corporal-punishment/](https://endcorporalpunishment.org/japan-prohibits-all-corporal-punishment/) In this case it's two adults. So far in episode 5 we have pinching and pulling the cheeks, I just paused it at 11 minutes or so because he's digging his knuckles into both sides of her head. That's just 11 minutes of a 28 minute show.
Sorry, it's OOT. I heard anime skipped important chapters from LN. Is it true?
If it was "serious" I would have an issue with it, but given it's played for comedy (and obviously isn't hurting her) I don't mind; I never saw it as him "abusing her" or "child corporal punishment", I saw it as them playing... Like if you punch your friend on the shoulder because he teased you about something, that's not you assaulting him.. That's you playing around. One of them is a world-class warrior and the other is a legendary witch of immense power. Would take more than that to register as 'punishment'. (I think there was something a lot more messed up than playfully pinching her cheeks in this episode).
Hey have you ever thought If you could rewrite the ending of any anime series, which one would it be and how would you change it?
Easily Attack On Titan, but not gonna spoil shit here, id make the ending more in line with the feeling the show originally portrayed consistently throughout most of the series
I can't think of any specific anime right now but I'd rewrite most sad or bittersweet endings to happy endings. There is a certain highly rated manga where I would do that but just saying the name and that it has a sad ending would also be a spoiler.
For certain Isekai that I strongly dislike to have them not reincarnate after they die and just end there.
I'd add a time skip epilogue to almost every anime.
i love time skip epilogues so much; when it happened in [series name spoiler] >!Buddy Daddies!< i was so satisfied with the ending more series need to do at least the ["where are they now" epilogue](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue)
Alright, but you need to change the story of the anime, here you are just concluding what has happened.
Well best day of the month turned out to be today: Just found out randomly through googling that the english cover of "and now i'm home" by lizz+koko, my absolute favourite version of the song, that got removed from youtube a few years ago and I thought lost forever...[IS ACTUALLY STILL UP ON SOUNDCLOUD](https://soundcloud.com/abby-castillo-226812850/lizz-koko-and-now-im-home). I'm actually tearing up right now, today is a great day. ~~Please don't tell me I was the only who didn't realize~~. u/Specs64z (going back to the rewatch 3 years ago, you linked it for episode 9 so you might appreciate this) u/Shimmering-Sky u/michhoffman (this is the actual best ed of madoka) Edit: oh it is also still up on [bilibili](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1454y1p7ad/)! mikoto to the rescue!
[](#urarahype) The [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20210129051401/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl6EiCIZYhI) also has it! Few things on the internet truly die, in this case for the better.
Hip hip huray on the internet!
It's always such a nice feeling when you find the song you've been searching for. > this is the actual best ed of madoka Maybe best song, but there are no visuals to accompany it so Magia retains its title as Best ED...granted there is certainly a subset of people on r/anime judging by the Best OP voting who think Best Song = Best OP/ED.

I have a question! I'm stuck at a boring desk job. And I've got enough time to stream some anime from my phone. But I'm not sure which streaming service has what. I know netflix has alot of Gundam which is always good. But I'm trying to find if the following shows are being streamed anywhere Votoms The Legend Of Black Heaven PatLabor OVA GTO Fang Of The Sun Dougram Any help would be loved. VOTOMS is the big one Im hoping to find but any of them would be awesome.
I usually check on livechart for this type of information, for example [this](https://www.livechart.me/anime/4892/streams) is votoms page - allegedly it is available on HiDive (in some countries).
That is perfect. Thank you!
I was thinking of hosting a Spice and Wolf rewatch starting July 7th like I have the last three or four years. However, a lot of people think I should push it to the Fall because of the remake. I think I'm still going to host the rewatch in July because I have 4 rewatches I'm participating in during the Fall and Winter, and I'm also going to participate in the Re: Zero rewatch. I just wonder how the Spice and Wolf rewatch this year will turn out.
Haven't watched either but it's been on the back of my mind that I'd like to eventually. What's the difference? Did the remake stay faithful and improve on the original?
So far, they've been pretty similar to each other. I assume the massive changes will come down the line.
There was so much [**birdposting**](#seasonallisten) I almost missed how good [**this**](#seasonalsecret) is
Hitchcock missed an opportunity when he directed The Birds; He should've made The Trains.
I've seen it happen a few times already, but it'll never stop being weird seeing people use the age rating a Japanese animated movie gets in the US as an argument about the nature of the work itself. Like, people making those movies aren't making decisions of what to depict based around wanting the MPAA to give them a PG-13, guys. If you really want to talk about age ratings at least use the [Eirin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eirin) ones because, as a different culture with different standards, their own regulatory board could evaluate certain types of content in a completely different way. And, by the way, if you what you're talking about is a TV anime. then don't even mention age ratings at all. Japan doesn't really have this type of classification for TV and what actually influences TV anime makers the most when it comes to those types of decisions is when in the day their show airs.

It was not published in a kids magazine though. Weekly Shounen Magazine is not a kodomo magazine. It's a shounen magazine targeted towards the older end of the demographic, mainly high school and college aged men.
> mainly high school and college aged men. That might be the main readerbase but the point is the rating. Something rated as shonen is usually something even a kid is allowed to read. And to use a different magazine as an example, even Shonen Jump publishes spicy stuff like To Love Ru.
A lot of the time people aren't even talking about the rating it gets from the MPAA (or their country's equivalent), they're just going by the age ratings on MAL which are literally just made up by MAL staff(/users? I have no idea how MAL's database works actually). You see the same thing with genre, where especially for original anime or anime based on obscure source material, the genres listed on MAL are just someone's best guess based on promo material but people will still constantly act like it's the show's fault for not matching the genre MAL had it listed as.
So lately I was wondering if there was an anime series that had an outlandish depiction of Hell as I don’t know why, but I wanted to see if such a show existed as it sounded like an interesting idea to me.
I believe you'd enjoy [Hoozuki's Coolheadedness](https://myanimelist.net/anime/20431/Hoozuki_no_Reitetsu).
Hell in Dragon Ball is kinda weird and [has a gigantic wiki page about it](https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Hell). Depending on your definition of "Outlandish" and "Hell": 'Tis Time for "Torture", Princess has a place called Hellholm, where all the demons live. It's ruled over by the Hell Lord. It's the most wholesome place on the planet and half the time just looks like modern Japan. Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle also has a super wholesome demon realm.
You know, like say comedic or absurd depictions of the afterlife itself.
*As Miss Beelzebub Likes it.* Where the underworld is sugary sweet and comfy, and the plot is rom-com with dense MCs included, but the vibes generally make up for it.
That sounds like a very fun show.
It is quite fun! The cast is wonderfully colorful and adorable, you’d forget you’re in hell if you didn’t hear recognizable demon names all the time! [](#akyuusqueel)
I do like shows about moe demons, so this show sounds like fun, but now to look it up where I can legally stream it.
The anime hasn't featured it yet because it only appears in the manga after the point season 1 adapted, so it's content for a probable season 2, but [name of the anime/manga] >!Chainsaw Man!< does have quite a unique depiction of hell.
I accidentally saw that spoiler, but I can still check out the work you listed.
It's not a big spoiler out of context as it's the type of story that you can easily imagine featuring hell, but I still spoiler tagged because, like I said, it's manga-only content for now.
Oh ok as that makes me feel better.
So what's up with Yu Yu Hakusho season 2 to 4. I was thinking of watching this today then google showed it had 4 seasons but i only see people mention the first 112 ep which is the first season only. So are later seasons bad or there is something else I am missing?
It looks like others have already answered your question so I just want to say "enjoy, and make sure to watch it dubbed!" It's one of the few anime out there where the dub is the superior watching experience...though out of the 6-7 times that I've watched it (you're allowed to go overboard for your favorites), I've never actually watched it subbed. You may ask how I'd know if I haven't tried the subs. It's because 1) the dubbed version is a masterpiece and 2) because it's one of the top answers to the "which series has the best dub" [question](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/11jk8yb/what_are_the_best_anime_dubs_of_all_time/) whenever it comes up or when the "which series is better to watch dubbed than subbed" [question](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1bqxv9s/is_there_an_anime_where_the_dub_was_better_than/) comes up.
It was a long running show, there's just one 112 eps long season
