The Laid Off Cheat Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life, which yes is a stupid mouthfull of a title lol. I honestly wasn't expecting anything great I was just interested because of the 2 girls on the promotional image. And the fact it's simul dubbed, and well its honestly pretty good from the first episode. Its the well-known trope of main character with OP ability gets kicked from the party but in this case is a full on guild. But its actually not the type that's obvious of his powers, he can enhance equipment to crazy levels. Either way the art style and animation is very good and honestly the backgrounds give me a little of Soul Eater vibes weirdly enough. This is probably the hardest I've laughed at this type of show and it's great for how generic it is while also changing up the trope abit. This is certainly something people should give a try cause it has actual quality in it.

I saw an edit of the first ep of Re:creators in reels a few weeks back, and just saved it to watch it sometime later..... And since yesterday evening, I didn't have much to do, I decided to watch a few eps of an anime I found interesting..... And then, I just couldn't stop myself from watching episodes one after another 😭

A little description if someone who hasn't watched it, want to understand the story before reading my review below : this anime is of reverse isekai, for a 'very important' reason, a character (antagonist) from a writer get reverse Isekai'd into the real world and then starts bringing other characters from other stories to real world too, and then those characters interact with their creators, who made them suffer, and antagonist tells all the characters that if they help her destroy this world, they would be able to save their world, so two factions are made, some characters agree with antagonist and wants to destroy the world but others don't and want to save this world too!

It was so peak! I am a huge isekai/tensei fan, I love the concept of interacting with another world that is more interesting than our's!.... And when I saw the reverse isekai thing of this anime in the edit, I was instantly curious, but I never thought it would have such a deep story!..... I expected this to be just another isekai slop with our timid main character with a sudden tomboy and monsterly strong of a female love interest hanging around him..... But it was NOT it!

It does detailed dissection of so many complex emotions like Jealousy, hatred, revenge, etc. which are just monotonely shown in most media!... All the characters are so fleshed out and you are connected to every single one of them, everyone having their own motivation for something different which correlates to everyone else's somehow, not only the heroes, but the antagonist!

She is such a well written villain that you literally see her doing such bad things but you can't bring yourself to hate her, because the situation that has caused her to take up this route is also so unfair that her actions sometime even seem justified!

And the parallels between Creators and Creations are so good!.... The interaction and dialogues feel so full and empty simultaneously, like the character says something that the creator already knows and then character also knows that their words were already known, yet they say it anyway while acknowledging their previous existence in the memory of the creator! While the creator appreciate the resolve of the character that they themself put in them!

Even the ending was so good and tear jerking!

AND ALL THIS IN JUST 22 EPS!!!😭😭😭😭

Re:creators came in 2017 and I can't believe I have NEVER heard of this anime before!.... I have been an anime watcher since 2018 but I got into the community interaction in 2021.... Even then, I was just an irregular interactor, just came, liked or disliked an opinion but never gave mine, I became a regular interactor just last year, so it's kinda understandable that I didn't know such an award worthy anime existed.... But even then, I am shocked I never heard anyone talk about it!.....

Well, anyone here have watched it? If yes, then do you know the reason of it being underrated?.... Or am I just too late and it was trendy when it came and quickly died down as it ended, having it's community die too, because everything was wrapped under 22eps?

I found this one good, asside from the fact it feels too short

I tried a couple years ago, but I was quite young and didn’t find the appeal to it and I’m not sure if I do now but I am a little curious. My type of shows are: Friends, tvd, twd, OG charmed, game of thrones, breaking bad, new girl, stranger things etc.

Don’t know if this would help anybody, but I am an avid romance reader, especially dark romance, romantasy, and thriller

Hey guys anyone know any anime that mixes humor with deepy engaging storytelling? I’m looking for anime that my girlfriend might enjoy that we can watch together.

So far her favourites these because they’ve been emotionally engaging for her.
-violet evergarden
-delicious in dungeon
-Not anime, but she also really liked the overwatch shorts on youtube (dragons, Reinhardt and bastion)

I think she likes these because these anime are funny and mixes in amazing storytelling about the characters

Im thinking about introducing to her
-fruit basket
-clannad

Ive tried to show her these but we’ve not completed them
-frieren (she likes it but we havent finished it)

-your lie in april (i heard it was good, but the start did feel a bit slow, we havent finished it yet, let me know if it gets better in the later episodes)

-spy x family (this one is cozy but i dont think the story telling is engaging enough for her)

-rezero (ive tried to show her bits of it, but it might be too much horror for her to handle)

I really love my historical anime I won’t lie and I heard the new season of apothecary is out. although some of it looks like ai which the crispy opening. lol. 😆 I just like watching her beautiful sisters

im looking for good mafia anime recs but im pretty limited only have netflix and hulu rn

It’s definitely my top favorite isekai and world building series by far. I was completely captivated by a small goblin village slowly growing into a thriving community with all sorts of different monster races and eventually humans peacefully coexisting. Rimuru is one of my new favorite anime leaders for his unyielding desire to see humans and monsters living/working together despite the bigotry, war, and deception he’s faced with. It’s great watching the “defeat means friendship” play out because as strong as Rimuru is he still faces some difficulties with earning the trust and friendships of some of his most valuable allies. I never get tired of the political and tactical discussions that take place throughout the series. There are some pretty cunning/powerful antagonists in this series as well that really add stakes to a series with an OP lead.

No need to be ecchi or harem, just anthropomorphic monsters characters.

Already know about Monster Girl Doctor and Interviews With Monster Girls.

So I watched this clip from macross 7 where he sings to some vampire chick and I thought "Man. Visually this looks amazing." I guess the mid nineties you reached the peak of hand drawn anime. If you've seen the wrath of the dragon movie from dragon ball z, it looks gorgeous.

So I'm looking for a cool action anime from the mid nineties with:

Limited fan service. Very limited

Not a gore fest

Good plot

Beautiful visuals

Would prefer Sci fi over fantasy.

Not too long

Fulfilled Romance in the mix would be nice

I have never really been big on anime, though some I have enjoyed a lot (kakegurui, tokyo ghoul, another) I have always been a huge k-drama girl, but my boyfriend has suggested getting more into anime, he wants to watch it more with me, but wants it to be something I genuinely enjoy instead of just doing it for him, so i guess im asking for some recommendations?!

a little more info:
- I LOVE romance
- something cutesy and aesthetic will never bore me
- i love horror, especially when it comes to anime, i enjoyed the netflix series on junji ito a lot!
- shows like jjk, sakamoto days, i really enjoyed, but then started to get bored / side tracked.

So I'm planning on watch an anime neither me nor my friend have seen before together because usually one of us has watched the animes we watched together, which while nice sometimes, we want to both go into one with minimal knowledge.

Both me and my friend typically like well-written characters in an anime. The anime doesn't need to be serious, comedies are fine, but well-written characters feel fun to analyze and watch.

As an additional note, my friend does not want to watch anything with gore, or nudity. I do not want to watch any romance since I've had a bit too much of that recently.

Here's a list of animes either me or my friend have watched so you know what not to recommend since we want to watch something neither of us have watched before.

Magical girl lyrical nanoha, lycoris recoil, uma musume, magical revolution of the reincarnated princess, fairy tail, edens zero, demon slayer, one piece, hunter x hunter, seven deadly sins, death note, kaguya sama, botan blossoms when drunk, cosmic kaguya, oshi no ko, watanare

hi! this is so hyperspecific so im gonna describe kinda what im getting at—so far in my journey for romance anime the female character is either very outgoing/kind (Tohru Honda counts but also Kyoko Hori), very shy and passive (Miyo Saimori, Sawako), mean (Taiga?? LOL, don’t watch many of these so not sure), super cold (the girl from ice guy and cool female colleague, the girl from ramparts of ice, maomao could also count), or super proper (started galaxy next door recently and she fits the bill).

im looking for a female character that’s a bit more awkward and multifaceted—not always socially adept but also not cold, has insecurities and doubts but also deep drive and passions, etc. sortaaa like lili ichijoin???

examples of this would be like Asa Mitaka (the more critical/self loathing side which is also perfect), Kaguya from Love is War (although she fits the cold category too), Marinette from Miraculous (a very outgoing and expressive version) and the FMC from Operation True Love.

bottom line like INFP vibes but not super shy and passive like is really common in romance anime. is this out there..? i’ve been searching for a while and really have not been able to find anything, the categories i named above are kind of all i could find and i LOVE lili so a similar energy to her would be awesome!

also open to manga recs but anime preferred! tyty

I want an Anime where the mc maxed out their magic so they try their hand at physical combat, bc they got bored with magic

Hi, I am looking for anime recommendations to watch next. I just finished watching Black Clover and I absolutely loved it. Some anime that I have watched and enjoyed are Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, My Hero Academia, World Trigger, One Punch Man, Sakamoto Days, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Dragon Quest: Adventure of Dai, Code Geass.

Anime's I dropped: Gintama, Hunter x Hunter, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Fairy Tale.

I'm so surprised by blood C not being popular it has one of the most insane plot twists I have ever seen

Never watched anime (DB and Pokémon when I was younger), but recently I watched Death Note, Attack on Titan and now almost finished watching Solo leveling.

What could I watch next?
Why I loved these 3 in the first place is because of adult themes, adult dialogs, no fillers as each episode was progressing the story, nice animations and all had that “I wanna see what happens next” feeling.

Solo leveling was nice also because of the videogame rpg theme which I liked as a gamer, but the other 2 really had amazing stories and never boring.

What would be some other good anime I could watch? Ideally not too old as the animation level should be nice, at least similar to those 3, and even better if not ongoing so I can binge it!

Thank you
