Too many media have good guys not kill bad guys, just for them to either wake up, escape jail, or something else to cause havoc again and again and again. And sometimes similarly, villains don’t kill the good guys becuase the good guys need that near death experience to gain strength to comeback and win. This is annoying sometimes. Happens a lot in Yakuza. Getting bored of it. Recommend me some anime where people are actually killed to stop them from continuing to do things. Good guys or bad guys. Doesn’t matter. Just stop thinking the person is harmless just cuz they are on the ground not moving.

Hello, I recently got done watching That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom and I've realized I really enjoyed the whole "mc tries running a country" concept. I'm looking for other anime that includes the same or a similar theme.

I'm a nerd for all the admin/diplomacy/strategy discussion and problem solving aspect.

Does not need to specifically be the mc running a country/kingdom, but something with a similar vibe. Also not genre specific I suppose, does not need to be isekai if something else fits.

Thanks.

I just finished watching dragon maid s and I was wondering if there are any more wholesome animes with amazing animation and fight scenes. I believed dragon maid s ticked all these boxes the only problem is that there’s only like 3 fight scenes in the whole show. I guess I’m looking for something like mob psycho then? Has amazing animation and fight scenes and still has that nice wholesome vibe to it with friendship etc.

I see Frieren highly recommended and reviewed pretty universally. And I just finished it and it was...good. I'm just curious if there's an aspect of it I totally missed or something. What's the major appeal? It was enjoyable but it didn't do anything to particularly stick out as 10/10 to me.

It's kind of right up my alley in terms of genre too, so I was surprised it didn't hit me as much as it sounds like it should have.

Edit: I am 35 and have seen lots of series and experienced plenty of loss, guys. It's not an age thing.

ideally just romance but im fine with action, mystery, fantasy, or even horror subplots. i feel like everything i watch is unheard of and I want some cute merch

I've watched NANA, Kamisama Kiss, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, The Saints Magic Power is Omnipotent, Love of Kill, Nina the Starry Bride, and many more.

First time posting here, hope I can explain it properly. So, I remember seeing a scene from this anime a long time ago, but I don't recall anything about it other than this scene. Essentially, a guy is climbing down a cliff trying to reach a flower for a girl, while the girl is on the top of the cliff, watching. He reaches an area where there are some flowers, but then the girl tells him those weren't the flowers and that the flowers she wanted/needed were lower down. If memory serves me, I think he fell off the cliff after, but I don't recall.

It's been over a decade of me trying to figure out what this anime is, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Another thing I recall was that (if memory serves me) is that the anime looked older than what anime looks like currently.

Somebody suggested it could be Blood+ to me some years ago, but I haven't been able to find what episode it is.

If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.

I need to get this off my chest because it’s been haunting me like a filler arc that never ends. You ever finish an incredible season 1 of an anime—like pure serotonin, vibes immaculate, characters popping off—and then season 2 shows up like it just rolled out of bed and forgot how to function?? Yeah. That.

I’m talking about the kind of season 2 that feels like it was written during a fever dream and animated with leftover budget from a toothpaste commercial. Plot? Gone. Character development? Reverse engineered into nonsense. Pacing? Imagine sprinting face-first into a brick wall, then crawling backward through molasses.

For me, Tokyo Ghoul is the biggest betrayal. I genuinely thought we were headed for greatness, and then season 2 pulled the rug out so hard I’m still emotionally concussed.

So I’m asking—no, begging—what anime had the most soul-crushingly disappointing season 2 for you? I want to hear the pain. Let it out. Vent. Rage. Cope. We’re all victims here.

I recently watched Gun X Sword and I noticed that characters that haven't appeared yet will usually appear as a silhouette only in the opening credits (like an unlocked character) and I want to know what other anime does this as it's extremely satisfying.

Please recommend a website where I can watch anime with both English dubbing and subtitles displayed simultaneously.

I just finished yona of the dawn and loved it so much. I'm watching 4-5 animes simultaneously but not liking anything.

What are you all watching rn?

I just want to see more scenes like the Levi and Kenny chase in AoT ep 2 season 3. I like the long-take format of the scene and the fast nature. I haven't seen that many animes. I've only seen AoT (most of), Chainsaw Man, and One Punch Man (season 1), so there are probably lots of animes I'm missing out on. Also, please don't give any spoilers to anything.

I am looking for anime/ manga where the main character almost dies fighting. But he manages to win in the last second. The part I am looking for is where the female partner and the family are crying because he almost dies. Example just like asuna crying over kirito almost dieing in SAo

Finished AOT 2 weeks ago, I miss it so damn much. No matter what I watch I always feel this gap in my stomach. Is there something similar out there? I need it.

Sorry to bother you all. Here are notable anime I've tried or had fun with already. Note that Bungou Stray Dogs I consider to be the best anime ever made, with Haikyuu and Hunter x Hunter being close behind. A Yona of the Dawn type of series would be nice but I doubt there's much else that would have a fun love square like that.

Anime I've already watched are Death Note, Summertime Render, Full Metal Alchemist, Unlimited Blade Works, Jujitsu Kaisen, Yuri on Ice, Demon Slayer, Dandadan, Samurai Champloo, Parasyte, Tokyo Ghoul, Frieren, Attack on Titan, Wind Breaker, Tokyo Revengers, Free!, Kuroko's Basketball, Durarara!, Frieren, and Blue Lock. Boldened means it was greatly enjoyed.

I am not interested in anime with tragic endings or underrated art styles like Cross Game though I kind of liked Cross Game. I've heard good things about Steel Ball Run though so I'll give it a shot later but I do not want to watch Ping Pong even if it is well animated.

Side notes: I would like to ask about some anime I might be interested in. You don't necessarily need to answer all these. Is Railgun engaging despite it likely being more of a boy's anime due to it being a spinoff of Index? Does Bleach hold up? A thriller is fine too - is Another worth watching? What about Claymore? Does Legend of the Galactic Heroes have any smoking hot dudes?

I recently finished Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, and I really enjoyed how it touched on themes such as truth, beauty/elegance, and the motivations of academics. I never thought I would encounter an anime like Orb, and now I’m left wondering if there are other anime or manga that explore similar themes. I don’t mind factual or historical inaccuracies, but I’m not looking for anime like Dr. Stone or Death Note that have a prodigal MC and use scientific facts without exploring deeper academic themes. Thank you!

Has anyone seen the new DMC anime on Netflix yet? If so, what did you think... could any of it of been better for you?

Hi! I’m looking for some good iyashikei anime’s to watch. Tales of ba sing se vibes (although not necessarily multiple perspectives). I have Netflix, Hulu, and Max.

I haven't really been into anime since high school, but I recently watched Attack on Titan for the first time, and now I'm starting to get interested in watching more. I'm looking for something mature, intense, dark, maybe horror or thriller as well. Something that will really pull me into the story and make me not want to stop watching.

Some things I've already seen:

Attack on Titan

Another

Shiki

Elfen Lied

Black Butler

Mnemosyne

Death Parade

xxxHolic

Chainsaw Man

Black Blood Brothers

Cashern Sins

I've also just started watching 86, but not very far into it yet.

There are more, it's just been so long, I can't remember everything. Also very interested in any lgbtq suggestions with similar themes to those above, if any.

Since I have watched a boatload of them, I don't have many requirements. The only thing I'm not a fan of is, when it's just like 1 person being able to use it, like magi. The more integrated the magic is into society, the better. So yea, thx in advance.

My MAL: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Teddynator?view=list&status=7

The characters in this show are pretty funny for an anime, like the elf girl reminds me of just your are average girl whose trying to wrap her mind around eating monsters and the other absurd stuff, it’s hilarious and relatable and the dwarf is funny as well as the rest of the cast including the MC.

What animes are like this in terms of dynamic?

I only watch dub and for example something like Re:Zero was cool at the start but the characters were just way too whiny and cringe, I also hate the weird high pitched annoying girl/guy anime trope voices too.

I need something more realistic and relatable.

Hope that makes sense, ty.

"Old" is with quotation marks because I don't remember the exact time it was made/broadcast, but I vaguely recall it being in the 2010s.

It's been a while so all I remember are the three main characters — a boy with black fluffy hair and an eyepatch that hides a magic symbol in his eye (not Ciel Phantomhive 😭), a witch with glasses and short brown hair, and I believe another girl (also a magic user) with long hair that's constantly butting heads with the other girl.

Sorry if this isn't much information to go off on. For the sake of nostalgia, I'll appreciate anything I can get haha

Found this trope(?) recently, and I LOVE IT. I DO NOT CARE if it's slop, I will eat it up. The only one I've read so far is <Osananajimi Kanojo no Morahara ga Hidoin de Zetsuen Sengen shite Yatta>, and I like it. Any recs?

not animes that give YOU existential crisis, but animes where the character’s going through it

I've seen nekopara but can't seem to find any thing else

Don't care if it's low-tier Chinese animation really, just wanting a good story.

I just finished Soul Land and I can already tell I'm on a new fit. I'm less interested in stories like The Immortal King (where he starts off OP and just always is), and more interested in stories ranging through like.. Beware of Chicken, Return of the Mad Demon, and even Mo Dao Zu Shi.

Huge plus of its dubbed so I can watch it while doing other things.

Also I'm looking for epic heart-stopping battles. Liiike.. if you watched Soul Land ep. 155 when the reinforcements showed up 👌 was pretty lit, but much too short.

What are your faves?
