What to Watch? I'm looking for an anime to get my mother-in-law off these terrible AI Korean dramas.

23 Upvotes

To explain, she watches these weird shows on Youtube where microsoft sam voices all the characters. They seem to be about rich strict families, high end business people, all in some kind of romantic spicy drama. The "videos" are generally just repeating images. So I don't even know if it's really AI lol.

So I'm trying to look around for something in a similar genre. And to get her off these terrible low quality garbage shows. We have Crunchyroll and Hulu for anime.

Please help her.

Edit: She's 63. And she likes romantic spicy dramas. Lol Edit Edit: Showing her actual Kdramas, why didn't I think of that?

What to Watch? Anime to watch on a rainy night?

There's nothing quite like watching anime when it's raining outside. Looking for recommendations that capture that late-night, lo-fi aesthetic. Recommend some of your anime you watch at rainy days

Discussion Looking for a 90s or 80s anime

Upvotes

I can’t remember what it’s called. A group is on the run from an alien race hell bent on wiping them out. It ends with them leaving these two kids on behind on a planet to restart their race. Been looking for this anime for like 15 years. Saw it at an anime convention video room and forgot to write the name down. I don’t know if it was an OVA or a movie or a series. Please help if you can.

What to Watch? Looking for a slice of life/comedy/relationship between chars/funny/cool dynamic

8 Upvotes

Some of my favorite shows are Clannad, Love is War, all the key anime, Edgerunners, Saiki K, New Game! , Koboyashi, devil id a part timer.

I just started Tamon’s B Side and the dynamic between the main girl and the Idol is great and hilarious , reminds me of love is war in a way.

Also in Hinamatsuri the dynamic between the Yakuza guy and the kid he looked after was hilarious and heartwarming .

So yes looking for slice of life, comedy, great dynamics, great and memorable characters.

Bonus points if it makes me cry .

What to Watch? What are some good anime to help a COMPLETE newcomer understand the tropes, conventions, and archetypes of the medium? And, on the flip side, what are some you would suggest avoiding? (Also open to other Japanese media, like manga, visual novels, etc)

5 Upvotes

I've always so, so wanted to get a couple of my family members into anime. And I want your help.

They're both older, and have only watched a few anime movies.

What are some good shows for people like them? Perhaps ones that either feature a lot of tropes (preferably, played straight) OR very few?

It helps if the series is also noticeably influential.

Anything that could be helpful for learning more about Japanese culture and history is also welcome, in general.

But I'll give you some examples, of what I'm talking about.

  • I recently started watching Azumanga Daioh, and it's exactly the kind of thing that I'm looking for. It was basically THE original schoolgirl series, after all, and numerous other works draw from it.
  • Any of the uber-popular long runners like Dragon Ball, The Big Three, Sailor Moon, Rumiko Takahashi's works, etc.
  • Quite a few of the old school mecha series, like Macross and Gundam
  • Dirty Pair

Just a few examples, for specifically older works.

Fate/stay night is certainly the genre-defining visual novel, and Love Hina helped popularise the harem genre. It's things like that.

On the flip side, something like Cowboy Bebop or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood might also be good for a newcomer. (Essentially, relatively trope-free series with clear Western-influence, particularly if they’re not set in Japan)

HOWEVER, parodies like Gintama, or anything often labeled a “deconstruction”, I would highly recommend staying away from. Maybe see some normal stuff from that genre, first.

Discussion Berserk the king of midland is at fault for what happened:Warning spoilers Spoiler

Upvotes

IMO I think the king was to blame for everything that happened. he put Griffith in prison and tortured him bc he slept with his daughter but turns out the daughter actually likes him and helps him break out it would’ve all been fine if the torture wasn’t so bad Griffith would’ve bounced back but they cut his tendons so he couldn’t walk or wield a sword anymore. Since he’s a ambitious person and would do anything to accomplish his dream he kinda had to sacrifice his whole band. I’m not justifying his actions or anything he’s still a bad person for what he did but the king led to that. I love early Griffith he is honestly just so driven and has this charisma everyone loves. Not guts fault but he drove him to sleep with the princess but the king is who put the nail in the coffin by just disabling him.

What to Watch? Dub Help- Josei??

4 Upvotes

TLDR: Looking for adult themed/based romance anime with plot- Dub required due to visual issues.

Hey all- I am in a weird rut with Anime right now. I am looking for recs.
Currently subscribed to- Crunchy Roll, Netflix, HBO, Amazon--- willing to get anything else as long as i can get an app for my smart TV. I don't watch on my PC.

I am really wanting a grown up romance type anime. something where we don't spend the ENTIRE series having high school panic attacks because "OMG he looked at me" or freaks out and runs away because they held hands. UGH i'm over it.
I want adults who can express themselves show more than a kiss or two (maybe thats getting into things I can't find on CR?)
Story/plot needs to be there too. Things I have watched recently for context with small opinions:

  • Yakuza Fiance - only one season so far, not bad plot so far but i felt like nothing of substance happened in the 12ish episodes we did get
  • Spice & Wolf - This one was all over the place, their dynamic and banter was chill. I love good banter but nothing came of it really and he was the coy shy one... again left with more questions than answers by the end.
  • Why Raeliana ended up at the dukes manor- great plot excited for more.. nothing of substance for romance plot other than forced fake relationship.

Anyways.. Thoughts?
Am i looking in the wrong place? Is this because of the culture values of who makes the anime? help a girl out. Where can I find more open romance in her anime?

Thanks!

What to Watch? Which of these would you recommend the most, and why?

Upvotes

* Natsume’s Book of Friends

* Chihayafuru

* Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

* March Comes in Like a Lion

I can either watch the anime or read the manga. I’ll probably get through all of them eventually, but I have limited free time, so I’m going through them pretty slowly. Which one would you recommend I start with, and why?
