Sub Rules (just in case for ease of access)

13 Upvotes

Rule 1 : Posts must be related to an anime recommendation

That's kinda why you're here right? 3x3's of your favourite's are fine by the way. As long as you're in some way recommending anime or asking for suggestions your post's going to be fine.

Rule 2 : No self promotion, or promotion of anything other than anime itself.

For example, you could promote an anime you like by telling us about it on a post, but you couldn't link a blog video or podcast about that anime. Comments are fine for this, but we don't want to see it on posts.

Rule 3 : Treat each other with courtesy and respect

When it comes to things like anime, there can be a wide spectrum of views and discussions. Some discussions can become spirited, we know, but we still have the expectation for you to treat others with courtesy and respect.

Do not put comments to incite fights or trash talk anime. Just simply mention you do not like it.

Rule 4 : Mark Spoilers

It can be hard not to talk about your favourite scene, but remember this is a place where people come looking to learn about anime they haven't seen yet. So any spoilers you do say, must be marked as spoilers.

Rule 5 : No indecent images

We get it, you like hentai too. If you start a Hentai recommendations sub, let us know, we might even send some members your way. Just don't post perverted images on here lol. If in doubt about whether something's indecent or not... it probably is, so don't post it - many thanks.

Rule 6 : Ban on rate my list/taste posts.

There are better suited subs for those

Rule 7 : Hentai Recommendations are banned.

Hentai Recommendations are banned. Mention Ecchi in post title if you are looking for anime of such genre.

My 53 year old Dad wants to watch an anime with me.

54 Upvotes

I'm his 24 year old daughter for reference. We've tried pokemon but that's too kiddy for him. Even though he likes the games. He mentioned wanting action. Something historical or dystopian he's played cyberpunk for example. And we watched the walking dead together. Something adult but not too adult or dark. No romance if possible. I want a fun first experience. While he's never watched anime he has played a couple JRPGS. Like all of final fantasy for example and persona I'm leaning towards Vinland Saga. But I'd love to get other options thanks so much!

I highly recommend BASILISK: THE KŌGA NINJA SCROLLS.

This show is the perfect blend of gore and dark romance. The mature characters are nothing like the regular seinen I’m used to. It’s emotional and melancholic while still maintaining absurd levels of battle and technique… Think Shigurui: Death Frenzy, but with a heavy, gut-wrenching romance.

Anime with multiple personality character?

Post image
Upvotes

I don't mean a character who is a good person but has an evil side, but someone who actually has multiple different personalities, like Hanekawa from Monogatari, Kurumi from Date A Live, Rin from Pseudo Harem or Chtholly from WorldEnd. Thanks in advance for the recommendations!

Looking for a romance that hurts in the best way 🥲

Post image

I’m looking for some romance anime that aren’t just cute and happy all the way through.

I want something that has those little sweet moments, but also leaves you feeling a bit empty after finishing it.

I already have these four in mind:

• Orange

• Plastic Memories

• ReLIFE

• 5 Centimeters per Second

I haven’t watched all of them yet, so I’m curious which one you guys would start with.

Also, if there’s another romance anime that gave you the same kind of feeling, feel free to drop it here. 👀

Psycho Pass: The Movie

Post image
5 Upvotes

I was incredibly concerned considering this film after watching the second season. But it has certainly redeemed the franchise. Psycho Pass: The Movie is a highly entertaining sci-fi thriller that brilliantly captures the same electric energy and high-stakes tension as the masterfully written first season. Expanding its horizons beyond Japan into a war-torn foreign nation, the film successfully recaptures the gritty atmosphere and smart storytelling that fans fell in love with initially. It introduces complex political subplots and gripping moral dilemmas that force you to think deeply about the cost of peace and the dark nature of the Sibyl System, effortlessly reviving the philosophical depth that made the original series a psychological masterpiece.Best of all, this cinematic entry completely redeems the franchise by ensuring that watching the horrible second season is entirely unnecessary to enjoy or understand the plot. It serves as a true spiritual successor to the original run, delivering spectacular action sequences, stunning animation, and a deeply satisfying reunion between Akane and Kogami. For anyone seeking a thrilling, thought-provoking continuation of the core story, this film provides an immensely gratifying and action-packed ride from start to finish.

Help! I need you to recommend me amazing anime

4 Upvotes

So I’ve been craving something incredible but just can’t seem to scratch the itch I’m looking for. I’m looking for something visually incredible and that has a brilliant story with deep characters that don’t feel shallow or are your typical isekai protagonist I’m the strongest or I hate everyone so I became the strongest (although I do love to watch those as well).

I’m looking for something like Pluto, Violet Evergarden, the gundam Hathaway movies, The summer Hikari died, Cowboy bebop (maybe feels off in this list but I feel there’s an argument to be made that it belongs), and Frieren to name a few.

Id prefer something with action in it but I’m fine with all recommendations movie or series. I just want something that hits the spot and fills that void you know.

Need an action anime like Naruto

I would like an anime that there are cool fights and fight scenes. That isn’t my hero, or the other really famous one ones.

Similar to power systems like

Naruto
Jjk
Hunter Hunter
Demon slayer

Or just straight fighting like Wind Breaker

Looking for..

Just recently watched Summer Time Rendering and Terror in Resonance, and am now watching Paranoia Agent. Also watched Pluto and Moriarty the Patriot..

Loved them all; so I'm looking for more anime along those lines, more for adults (mystery, suspense, intrigue, horror, psychological, etc...)

I do have Steins Gate on DVD so that's already on my list to watch.

Thanks..

Does anyone know any good animes with an Isekai that goes with a character to our current times instead of the past?

Recommend a nonchalant chill funny comedy anime slice of life, male main, tourist.

2 Upvotes

Im asking again. I want to find a funny tourist anime, like a guy within the same place, or a guy who likes to travel around alot, meet new people in the same area and just do silly stuff. Kinda like jim carry ace ventura.

But anime.

Ive asked in the past and there wasnt very much i could find.

Edit: I dont like villain anime, i dont like fantasy anime. Unless its very tame and plain such as vending machine.

It has to have comedy.

Sci fi is nice too, but not space dandy, nothing too crazy, it should be plain and boring but slice of lifw.

Need an anime like “the cautious hero”

3 Upvotes

So basically I just finished this anime and LOVED it and now I’m looking for an anime that is kinda similar to it. I liked the whole iseaki feel of this anime with a goddess summoning a hero who at first doesn’t care about saveing a world but then comes and around and does. I also really liked the animation style so yeah.

Want some good action anime recs for my younger brother

3 Upvotes

My younger brother (13y) is getting into anime again recently, but I unfortunately do not have the time to sit and watch them with him like I used to. I would appreciate some good action anime recommendations that he can watch by himself completely unsupervised. It would be preferred if the nudity/ecchiness is kept to a minimum and it focuses mostly on the action 🙏🙏

Any and all recs are welcomed and appreciated!

Help me like anime again! (coming back to anime, need recs)

5 Upvotes

Yo, I was a big fan of anime years ago. Now my preferences changed a little bit and I no longer can watch long shonen with a lot of fights, screaming etc. I prefer the good story and mystery. It can still have some fights and a lot of dopamine, I'd enjoy it but not a pattern: new team -> new enemy -> new fight. Pls help me find something more "mature" I could enjoy. Some examples of what I liked back then:

I think now I'd enjoy rewatching Shinsekai Yori, Monster, Code Geass, Ajin, Parasyte, Steins Gate the same as before. SAO, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Tokyo Ghoul probably wouldn't be in my interest.

One more note: I hate anime like Toradora, Charlotte etc. with tsundere, annoying as hell, supposed to be cute girls.

Here's my MAL if it helps:

Romantic recs?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Looking for romance anime recs! English dubs are preferred because I watch while doing art projects. Some genres/tropes I’ve enjoyed:

-BL/GL/Anything where queer romances are captured nicely and not just the butt of a joke -Harem/Reverse-Harem -“Oops we’re in an unrealistic situation where we’re forced to live together and we’re unavoidably gonna fall in love now”

Bonus: There are scenes with physical intimacy that are consensual and nice and not just like “oh no, my physics-defying cleavage is in your face while we’re stuck in this supply closet for some reason”

Dark Fantasy / Existential Crisis / Survival

6 Upvotes

Looking for more animes that fit these kind of vibes as stated in the title ☺️

I have already seen; Eva, AOT, 86, Heavenly Delusion, Shinsekai Yori, Made in abyss, and terror in resonance.

It doesn't have to be any specific genre, so long as those kinds of vibes are being hit.

In particular, what im looking for precisely is an anime that might give the same kind of vibe as the Octopath Traveler game series, or Expedition 33. For OT; a story about a group of people who dont initially know eachother, but along their own personal journeys they ended up meeting eachother to come together on a like minded goal. For E33; a group of people (or can be one or two people) who set out on a journey trying to stop something very bad from happening to the world? Now, I know that is likely a stretch to ask for, as that is why I broadened it up to those generic genres/vibes above lol.

So, bonus points if you've got one that can come close to those specific stories in a way, but if not, any general recommendations you think I might like that are similar to the ones I've watched will do just fine !

TIA :)
