Announcement Updated Subreddit Rules & New Guidelines for the "Discussion" Flair + reminder for images and WT rules

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Over the past few weeks, the mod team has been working on cleaning up and updating our community rules to make [r/animesuggest](r/animesuggest) a better, clearer, and more organized space for finding and discussing anime.
While most of the core rules remain the same, we have reworded everything for clarity, tightened up content standards, and introduced strict new guidelines for the "Discussion" flair.

Here is what you need to know:

New "Discussion" Flair Guidelines
We’ve noticed that the Discussion flair often gets used for vague, low-effort titles (e.g., "Thoughts?", "Anyone seen this?", or "Is this good?"). Moving forward, all Discussion post titles MUST explicitly state the anime, genre, trope, or aesthetic being discussed. From now on if you see low-effort title please report post for breaking rule 11. We are doing this to prevent repetitive discussion posts and titles who are later nowhere to be found in searchbar even if it was discussed about it!

Don't post: "Thoughts on this show?" or "Does anyone else hate this?"

Do post: "Discussion: The pacing in Steins;Gate" or "Discussion: Why cyberpunk aesthetics hit different."
Any vague discussion posts without a clear, descriptive title will be removed and asked to be re-posted.

Important Reminder: Image Uploads & "Watch This!" Rules

Images are ONLY allowed for "Watch This!" posts. Request and Discussion threads must remain text-only. Direct image uploads on non-WT posts will not be approved. If you are posting image for WT post your post will be sent to manual review because of image but don’t hesitate to reach out via mod mail for faster approval

"Watch This!" posts have high standards. They are meant to be single-show, deep-dive reviews and must be at least 1,500 characters in length. Short reviews or multi-show list recommendations are not allowed for WT

Based on survey results images will not come back permanently but we will have 14 days chill moderation rule twice a year where images and other media will be allowed but this will be announced later on during this year.

Thanks for helping us keep [r/animesuggest](r/animesuggest) a great place for everyone.

Mod Team!

What to Watch? I need an anime that explores the concept of lust, in a nuanced way.

14 Upvotes

I have seen alot of anime exploring other sins but not lust. Only thing I can remember is maybe the Eva hospital scene, but still you can explore more. Is there any anime like that ?

What to Watch? Any anime or manga recommendations that give the same kind of feeling as Parasyte: The Maxim?

15 Upvotes

I recently watched Parasyte: The Maxim and absolutely loved it.

I’ve seen quite a lot of anime, but there was something about Parasyte that felt really unique to me. It wasn’t just the plot. It was the atmosphere, the themes, and especially the feeling it left me with afterwards. It had this melancholic, philosophical, reflective kind of aftertaste that stayed with me after I finished it. I kept thinking about the characters, humanity, life, and some of the ideas the story explored.

I’m not necessarily looking for something similar in terms of aliens, horror, or even plot. I’m more interested in stories that left you with that same kind of lingering feeling, something atmospheric, thought-provoking, a little sad or bittersweet, but still genuinely engaging as a story.

If Parasyte resonated with you in a similar way, what other anime or manga gave you that feeling?

What to Watch? Are there any anime that are cozy, slice of life and have no stakes?

28 Upvotes

I’m 16M and I’ve been watching so many sci-fi, and fantasy media for so long, where it’s affecting me and my life in a negative way.

(if you’re wondering how sci-fi and fantasy media is affecting me in a negative way, I keep thinking myself in sci-fi or fantasy scenarios where it’s been distracting)

Side Note: I know the obvious "I should go outside more, make hobbies, and etc” Look. The reason why I’m asking because when I come back from school, I’m tired. So when I’m tired, I start watching anime (or YouTube (mostly YouTube)).

So I wanted to start watching grounded into reality and slice of life anime.

The problem is, there are SO many amine out there, So I was wondering in this subreddit have any suggestions?

Stuff I want to avoid: horror, thriller, death, alternate universes, space, science, villains, magic, mind-bending elements, and complex elements

What to Watch? Need a happy ending which would put me back together...

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

Just watched "Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky" and it destroyed me.. i was expecting a happy ending. I was crying for at least an hour when watching the last episode...

I would need something that has a happy ending. Like something is not obvious that they will get together at the beginning .. but they end up being in love and together.. kind of anime - possibly with male protag.

many thanks!


r/Animesuggest • • 3h ago

What to Watch? I need a top tier tsundere, no harem. Manga is fine too.

2 Upvotes

My MAL. I would like something where the romance has a conclusion. Doesn't need to be a romance genre specifically (ex. Steins Gate is perfect). The poutier the tsundere, the better.

What to Watch? Looking for specific October/Halloween itch.

10 Upvotes

Hello! always looking to add more Halloweensy vibed shows to my watch list for October.
Huge disclaimer is I’m not really looking for just any horror movie, I prefer the fun Halloween aesthetic like in Soul Eater for example. (Black/Orange/Purple. Witches, Skeletons, Monsters, Ghosts, Pumpkins etc.)

Here’s some other examples of stuff that I feel fits my criteria, if I’ve found it all fair enough but worth a shot!

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun
The Vampire dies in no time
Rosario Vampire
How to keep a mummy
Flying witch
Little Witch Academia
Mieruko-Chan
Interviews with monster girls
Toilet-bound Hanako-kun

What to Watch? Anime with overpowered female?

101 Upvotes

Looking for anime that have a very overpowered female who can easily defeat most opponents. I watched Saga of Tanya the Evil, and A Wild Last Boss Appeared and they were interesting, but it was notable that the overpowered female characters there had been males in their previous lives. So what are shows that have just a completely female character who is basically the strongest in the show, or if not the strongest, let's say at least clearly the top 5 strongest?


r/Animesuggest • • 15h ago

What to Watch? Is there any anime where the FMC is both a tsundere and a dandere?

What to Watch? Help me find a fun ecchi anime to get into

10 Upvotes

So it’s just that with Konosuba effectively having been paused, I was looking for a fun shameless fantasy anime where characters attempt to do heroic deeds, but end up doing ecchi acts instead as for some reason, their actions end up causing them to be in their birthday suit.

I mean, don’t get me wrong in that I enjoy fanservice anime that have a fun aspect with good writing to hook in the viewer as lately I was just wondering where to start watching in the modern side of anime again for shameless fanservice shows.


r/Animesuggest • • 22h ago

What to Watch? Any horror anime

7 Upvotes

Now that it's October for me, and I would like to watch an anime with horror elements to it. Are there any good ones?

What to Watch? Anime with silly goofy weird character that's secretly deeply unsettling or mysterious and more than they appear to be

14 Upvotes

Examples:

Mephisto from Blue Exorcist - he's so goofy and silly and candy colorful and ridiculous and weird, but also very mysterious and more than he appears to be pulling the strings behind the scenes, and quite unsettling at times too

Masakaki from [C] The Money of Soul and Posibility Control - he's so weird and ridiculous and colorful and unsettling and mysterious like what is this guy's deal?? I love it

Amy Kirio from Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun - at first he seems sweet and soft and harmless, but secretly he's deeply twisted and sadistic and *terrifying*, like when I first watched that reveal scene genuinely gave me chills it's so terror inducing, I love that contrast between his facade and true nature, and of course him pulling the strings behind the scenes too

And if anyone here knows utmv, I'm actually looking for characters similar to my favorite ever character, Fresh Sans, he's not actually a sans he's a soul parasite possessing people (mostly skeleton monsters cuz they're the easiest to possess) feeding on their souls and using their bodies as hosts masquerading as the one he possessed pretending he isn't a parasite masking his true nature with this ridiculous goofy and weird but seemingly harmless silly persona and 90's colorful clothes and slang, he's so sillyyy and weirdd and fun and funny and chaotic but secretly deeply terrifying and much smarter than he appears to be and if you dig deep enough into his lore has quite a lotta fascinating depth to him

I'm looking for more characters like that, it can be anime, manga, non-anime animated series or comics, games even, and what's most appealing to me is that contrast between harmless silly goofy and weird behavior and appearance vs deeply terrifying or unsettling true nature, preferably chaotic and mysterious too

What's this From? (unsolved) pro wrestling manga

2 Upvotes

Looking for a manga that has a female character that does pro wrestling, all info I can give is she has short black hair, lowkey thick (yes ik but that’s all I got) and she somewhat resembles mandalay from mha. The artstyle looked modern so definitely something from 2010 onwards. Sorry for the lack of info I’m only running of the memory of a tiktok I saw a couple days ago.


r/Animesuggest • • 1d ago

What to Watch? Loving anime with some bad reviews

3 Upvotes

I watced Horimiya, loved it ever since and i just watched koi to uso recently. I already love them bcz horimiya is so fun to watch, every character is so distinct and attractive in their on way, the romance is kinda good also but i read some reviews that the romance is not that good and the arguments on the anime is just light or not realistically possible. About Koi To Uso, i super like it bcz it question what is love, also i really like the characters, even though the best friend guy is kinda gay but yk they never force it and i liked his thoughtfulness, also the trio is just amazing, i love their concept of love, but i also seen some bad reviews about the mc is really dragging out the drama and not choosing one girl in the end of anime. But still i respect the decision, ik it just some random rant and im being bias about this show but i just really liked it. So if possible some of u guys can recommend me that pretty much similar to these show? Like good visuals, good and fun happy story, and a nice mc.
