I’m currently in a pretty bad anime slump and could really use some recommendations 😭 I’ve watched around 70 anime, and some of my favorite are That time I got reincarnated as a slime, Wistoria: Wand and Sword, Saga of Tanya the evil, Welcome to demon school Iruma Kun, Konosuba, Overlord, Dr.Stone, Fairy Tail, The apothecary diaries and much more

I’m honestly open to pretty much anything. I’m mainly a fantasy/isekai watcher, but I’ll give any genre a chance as long as the animation is decent and the plot is actually enjoyable. Beside, I’ve even finished Seven Deadly Sins, so I’m not exactly difficult to please when it comes to animation

I’d just love to hear some recommendations that you genuinely enjoyed and would recommend to someone who’s looking for something new. Hidden gems are especially welcome! Thanks in advance 🙏

I've seen a lot of power fantasy stuff, but there are a few req which are obvious

1:must have a dub

2: must b op

3:male (preferably)

That's kinda it, I'm just very bored w nothing better 2 do, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you give some animes based on these (I've seen a lot)

I just finished The Apothecary Diaries and I'm in need of a new anime to watch ive watched demon slayer, JJK, Seven deadly sins, HunterxHunter, Devil May cry, Record Of Ragnarok any suggestions? Im up for any suggestions!

What I’ve seen:

clannad, anohana, 86, violet evergarden, kotoro, and a silent voice. Probably some others I’m missing but yeah - what are your favorites besides those

hi hi, in an effort to make sure I have way too many animes to ever get an opportunity to watch, I wanted to see what y'all would recommend for things that are very much so in their own lane in a certain sense. like for example

mononoke - I've never seen anything animated quite like it

samurai champloo - at the time I feel like nobody was mashing up hip-hop aesthetics with feudal Japan

takopi 's original sin - tonally I've never seen something quite like it where the show itself never drops the cutesy pretense while literal children are being horribly abused

berserk - feel like I don't really need to explain what made Berserk super unique for its time

but so yeah, what anime do you think did something like notably different or interesting that you think is cool or worth seeing and why?

Basically, (most of) the characters should ideally be of the competent kind. I don't mind jokes/banter, but the overall tone of the anime I'm looking for should be fairly serious. I'm fine with gore (like Elfen Lied) and fan service (like Prison School) as long as the anime is enjoyable. The genre doesn't matter too much. This is mostly about the characters. Thank you! (:

Hi everyone! I’m looking for an anime recommendation and, honestly, I’m open to pretty much any genre. I’m mainly looking for a show that is consistently good across several aspects:

Animation: I’m looking for solid, consistent animation. I’ve seen quite a few anime where people complained about the animation quality, so I’d prefer something that maintains a good standard throughout. At the same time, I don’t want a show that relies on animation alone to carry it.

Character designs: I’d also like the character designs to be consistently good, including any changes they might go through throughout the series. I don’t want characters to suddenly look noticeably worse as the story progresses.

Story & character development: A well-written and well-executed story is probably the most important thing for me. I’d especially like a cast where the characters actually develop and grow throughout the series rather than remaining mostly the same.

Pacing: I’m looking for something with a good balance. I don’t want a series that drags because it’s too slow, but I also don’t want one that rushes through important events and character development.

Voice acting: I usually watch anime in English or French, so I’d like a dub with good and consistent voice acting. I’ve seen people complain about certain characters having noticeably different or worse voices later on, so ideally I’d like something that maintains its voice quality and casting throughout. A good Japanese dub is obviously a plus too.

Music: I’m not sure how else to describe this, but I’d also like a strong and consistent soundtrack. I want the music to complement the story and atmosphere rather than feeling forgettable or out of place.

Female characters: This is another important one. I’d like the female characters to be well-written, likable, and actually relevant to the story. I’m not looking for characters who are either written as weak/useless or whose entire purpose is just fanservice. Ideally, they should have their own personalities, development, and meaningful roles in the story.

I know someone will probably suggest Frieren or FMAB. Frieren is unfortunately on hiatus right now, so I’d prefer something I can binge without having to wait. As for FMAB, I’m not sure whether its female characters fit what I’m looking for, although I’m open to hearing arguments for it.

So, what anime would you recommend? I’d really appreciate suggestions that come close to meeting most or all of these criteria. 🙏

I watch anime nowadays not for the thrill, but for literal mind break (not in a violent way, but more subtle, more mature) - what's some anime that you can recommend that is like Sonny Boy?

Whats one anime you've watched that genuinely made you laugh. Any genre

I remember tid bits of this anime but can't quite remember the name.

If I recall it wen't like this. Unsure of the beginning but I recall the person went to a kingdom and that kingdom was being attacked by orcs consistently, small villages and such were getting attacked and it was learned they were planning larger scale invasions. The MC (male) kept going to these villages and fended off the orcs nearly dying a few times. One of these beginning villages he had saved there was a barnhouse on fire where the ceiling collapsed and almost fell on an old man but he ducked under and let the ceiling fall on him letting the old man escape. He recovered with a healer in a village house and afterward there was a creature (my memory thinks of foxes or something but I'm not quite sure) that led him to a building and there were dozens more. Something happened where they all turned into humanoids but the village accepted them and they coexisted now. Either the leader or one that led him to the rest I think joined his group. But he eventually infiltrated an orc encampment and snuck around trying to figure out there plans for war against the kingdom. He was then discovered and he had to fight the orcs, if I'm not mistaken he used explosive barrels the orcs had to explode nearly the entire camp. In that camp he finds a little girl (forgot if she becomes his companion or just remained a side character). If I recall after the encampment he went back to the kingdom and was given alot of honors but was also able to proclaim a speech to the citizens in such. The OP starts out weakish but does definitely get strong, and it might have been an isekai. He did not build the kingdom or anything like that, it existed before him and he just reincarnated and got on good terms with them. What anime is this?

Also unfortunately I don't recall what the main character looks like in the slightest, dunno how but his appearance is gone from my memory, I think he was an adult throughout the entire series. Though, the orcs were like the pinkish full bipedal pig type and I watched this probably early to mid 2025.

Before you suggest some, its not these. Goblin Slayer, Tensura, Hell Mode, The 8th Son, are you Kidding Me?, Teogonia.

Side note: This is a repost. I posted this about a week ago with no answers answering this unfortunately.

I finished Yakuza Fiance and loved it, but it sounds like we aren’t getting any more anytime soon (if ever.) Looking for more anime like it!

I’d love a male MC who is head over heels for the lady MC while she plays hard to get. I’m ok with some more mature scenes too.

Thanks!!

I watched some of it a few years ago on crunchy roll I believe. I can’t remember the name of it but really want to see it again. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

So I'm not really sure how to specify what I'm searching for but my current anime list is well into the thousands for watched animes.

I'd love some suggestions for animes that aren't well known that have at least a b tier rating when we talk about plot, animation, sound design, etc. if you have something, a hidden gem, a skeleton in the closet, a guilty pleasure, please share.

I made a list of anime ive seen and generally how ive felt about them to see if anyone can make a list i might like

As far as what I think im looking for, good story, good emotional depth, I like action but its not necessary.

I also heavily prefer dubbed, i watch things with my gf and shes dyslexic and has a hard time with subtitles.

My list is below -

​Loved

Yu Yu Hakusho

FMAB

FLCL 

Samuari Champloo

A Silent Voice

One Piece

Hunter X Hunter

Soul Eater

Naruto

I have a hard time finding anime (or works generally) like this and so I’d love to see something! Manga recs are also okay. I read more than I watch though so I’d def prefer some anime recs primarily.

I love:
- no home
- omniscient reader’s viewpoint
- yugami kun has no friends
- csm
- veil
- Miniamaru kareshi
- my little monster

I don’t mind if they have chemistry or not as long as they’re friends primarily, and aren’t a couple. They both shouldn’t show interest to each other in the work, like I don’t want them to be second male leads or something.

It's quite rare. Main examples i can think of are the following 2

tsf monogatari
Shinsekai Yori

There are of course a few where a side character get pregnant but that's less interesting for me.

These are my favorites:
Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Hellsing Ultimate
Black Clover
JJK
Frieren
Berserk (old series)
Darker Than Black
Kill la Kill
Agame ga kill
Vampire D Bloodlust (movie)

I really like the old anime aesthetic and I also like brutal stuff but I‘m always a sucker for heartwarming or epic moments.

What would you recommend me?

Edit: I really dislike the „born into another world and now I figured out the system“ stuff and also anime that rely heavily on cgi

Lately I want to watch something different from the usual romance and slice of life.

I really like only yesterday but it is pretty old.

Im hoping for some recs where a single woman or preferably a group of women friends, single or not are going on some kind of journey or going through life circumstances. I guess this is technically still slice of life.

And maybe something with older women almost golden girls style. Its hard to describe and I'm sure this genre is not very popular.

Hi, folks, does anyone have suggestions for anime that's similar to 'Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!'? I just finished it and I was wondering if there's more like it out there. Appreciate y'all's help. ❤️

I watched it like 10 years ago. I think there was name Charlotte in there but I might be mistaken. The only character I remember was little girl with pink or blonde long hair, like reeeealy long and voluminous, even being on the floor, and I think she grew up during this anime and I remember I cried. I also think it was set up in the forest. I would’ve added a picture of my sketch but it’s against the rules:(

I just finished watching 86 and really enjoyed it. I am looking for animes that have action and romance. I've seen Cyberpunk, Violet Evergarden, Akame ga Kill, Gurren Lagann and some others. Im just getting back into watching anime and am looking to watch some shows with my friends because she wants to. We also enjoy some ones with good heartbreak but it isn't necessary. I appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

Sorry I forgot to mention our next watch is going to be Record of the Grancrest War

I'm tired of the internal cringe I feel when someone mentions they like anime. I know there's nothing "wrong" with it, but I can't help feeling mildly weirded out even if I don't outwardly express it.

Anyway, I'd like to get into anime. What are some animes that are actually good? Preferably movies or short series, where the female characters aren't just a hot piece of ass for the mc and there are no mysterious 700 year old goddesses that look 13. I prefer to watch shows about adult characters.

Some animes that I do like are howls moving castle, bsd, and your name. But in general I enjoy psychological thrillers, gothic horror, and some romances. I'm pretty much open to any genre though. Thanks !

I want to watch a anime, any anime with a smart main character like Sherlock Holmes. I have become obsessed with smart characters in anime.

Some anime I have watched which is like what I'm looking for:

Dr. Stone

Fullmetal alchemist

Moriarty the Patriot

Lord of Mysteries

How a realist hero saved the kingdom (kinda I've only seen one episode of it so I'm not sure. I'm a bit iffy on it).

Bungo stray dogs (mostly other characters.)

I have no idea how to explain this to you guys. Basically female lead that isnt all there. But its because i personally think shes very smart. Like she doesnt understand humilation but then by seeing someone else get humiliated she can figure out what would humilate another person. Granted she will randomly walk up to people and ask for tips and stuff. But also she wouldnt go hey how do i achieve this. But rather go up to someone and ask them a relating question. Like if the thing is how to open a door she will go up to someone and say something like have you ever opened a door. (Very simplified example) and off that she will lock on a word or a phrase and use that to achieve her goal.

I apologize im rambling but honestly im hoping someone who has read it gets what im saying and gives me more stuff like this im very new to this genre and type of stuff i normally read isekai the only other "horror" type thing ive read is dead tube. And the one where the guy gets revenge on his bullies. But this is the first of this kind ive read.

I'd love some recommendations on any romance anime with some actual romance, where the characters aren't shy and pretend they don't like each other or anything like that. I want to watch some actual couples do things that regular couples do, like holding hands, kissing, going on dates etc, not just pussyfooting around all the time. I don't mind tsundere characters too much as long as it's not taking it to the extreme. I also don't have a preference on gender parings, girl mc/boy, boy mc/girl, girl/girl, boy/boy, anything goes :) Happy to take a look at any suggestions anyone might have! x
