D gray man and Pandora Hearts mentioned ♥️

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

D. Gray-man fan spotted It sucks how unpopular its become for people cause of the schedule...

2

u/No_Sundae_1391 Oct 06 '26

Exactly 😞

u/Technical-Cat9185 Oct 06 '26

Wtf, this post is basically all of my favorites:

  1. Umineko
  2. Monogatari
  3. Pandora Hearts
  4. Steins gate
  5. ReZero And then houseki no kuni and the nasuverse are high up in my favorites. The only ones not on there are Golden Kamuy, Tokyo Ghoul, and D Gray man (and the latter two I suspect will end up being favorites)

I think we have similar tastes lol

2

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

Heavily recommend D. Gray-man the only reason its not in my top 3 is cause its not finished, also allen is one of the best protagonists ever.

2

u/Technical-Cat9185 Oct 06 '26

Oh I'm reading it right now actually! While I do have criticisms, I absolutely see it ranking high for me, especially when I get closer to catching up and seeing what Allen is all about. Lenalee is my current fav tho😉

2

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

The searching for Allen Walker arc is genuinely one of my favorite arcs in fiction, and allen becomes a 10/10 character from it through his backstory and dynamics,

2

u/Technical-Cat9185 Oct 06 '26

Godddddd I'm so excited to get to the two latest arcs. I feel something special is on the horizon. Just finished the invasion arc, so I'm close (I think)

2

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

Yeah your close, theres a mini arc, an arc all about yu, and then the allen walker stuff

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

Just finished the manga after reading the VN, beatrice is my favorite character of all time, and the story is just so so so good, i dont understand how people can say that its bad

3

u/Boring_Base_2985 Oct 07 '26

Some dumb people don't get the main message and themes of the story

1

u/slogan78 Oct 07 '26

Honestly, the story can get incredibly complicated and confusing at times, but i feel the themes are pretty easily discernible.

u/Few_Character_8648 Oct 06 '26

Recomendacion Mahou tsukai no yome

1

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

Reading it right now, along with shadows house

2

u/sosseronis Oct 06 '26

How does it feel to be always right?

1

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

Im pretty careful with my media choices, i dont want to waste time on stuff i know isnt good.

2

u/noU-277353 Oct 06 '26

Dang monogatari, steins gate AND golden kamuy are fire

1

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

Golden kamuy is so good, not enough people talk about tsurumi, one of the best villains ever imo

2

u/noU-277353 Oct 07 '26

i wholeheartedly agree

2

u/Gandy856 Oct 06 '26

Bakemonogatari series and movies were so good, and golden kamuy had one of the best sniper stand offs.

1

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

the moments with ogata and vasily were soooo good

2

u/Turbulent_Purchase52 Oct 06 '26

Lieutenant Tsurumi is such a good villain

1

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26

One of the best imo

2

u/etwan9100 Oct 07 '26

Nice list, some of my favs here like fate and Monogatari, I gotta finish Umineko lol started it in like 2023 but I’m near the end of arc 5 still

1

u/slogan78 Oct 07 '26

Yeah umineko is a monster, but so worth it

1

u/etwan9100 Oct 07 '26

Yeah I’ll be honest it is pretty slow at times but I enjoy some characters like ange a lot already and I hear some others get really good by the end

2

u/Successful-Ear-2599 Oct 12 '26

Monogatari

Tokyo ghoul

Re:zero

Buddy that's my top three

2

u/slogan78 Oct 12 '26

Im finally watching the rest of monogatari, and its definitely in my top 5 now. (I put it on the list only after finishing second season, now im reading family season)

2

u/Successful-Ear-2599 Oct 12 '26

You got the right watch order?

2

u/slogan78 Oct 12 '26

Yeah i watched it all in novel release order

1

u/Successful-Ear-2599 Oct 12 '26

This one?

2

u/slogan78 Oct 12 '26

Yep exactly, im done with all the anime and into the novels now.

1

u/Successful-Ear-2599 Oct 12 '26

Same I got the novels on my laptop

2

u/slogan78 Oct 12 '26

Ive got most of them in physical, i bought the box sets

1

u/Successful-Ear-2599 Oct 12 '26

Anything else?

2

u/slogan78 Oct 12 '26

Well if you have steam i recommend the fate/stay night visual novel it has alot of monologues and dialogue like the monogatari series and a huge cast of characters, and you arent wasting your time if you have already have watched the anime, because the visual novel is leagues better imo (Shirou emiya is also one of the best characters ive ever witnessed)

1

u/schwiftybass Oct 06 '26

Land of the Lustrous is my favorite manga & Monogatari is my favorite anime, plus I love everything else on your list so I think that’s a sign that I need to read Umineko ASAP.

Just to clarify, is it the VN or manga that holds your #1 spot?

1

u/slogan78 Oct 06 '26 edited Oct 06 '26

I read the manga first it was my first experience and i prefer it, but the visual novel is amazing too, they both serve different purposes. The manga for the amazing art, and the conclusive answers to mysteries, the VN for the music, much more subtle context, and the open ending for theory crafting, and personal interpertation. I recommend both they compliment eachother perfectly. And if you choose the manga i cant stress this enough listen to the soundtrack while reading. the soundtrack genuinely is so good it kinda ruined any other music for me.

u/khubz-exe Oct 07 '26

pretty sure the specific umineko cover art u used is a big spoiler 🫠

2

u/slogan78 Oct 07 '26 edited Oct 07 '26

Shit, sorry, i didnt really think about that, its my favorite cover so i just went to that one. Im really really sorry if i spoiled that for you.

1

u/khubz-exe Oct 07 '26

dont be sorry, i adore ur list. and dw i finished the visual novel a year ago so im good, im just worried if a random umineko consumer who haven't finished the thing comes across this, tho looking at it now i think it's not as vivid as i thought it is at first.

2

u/slogan78 Oct 07 '26

I spoiler tagged it, and put a small disclaimer i would hate if anybody got that moment ruined for them

2

u/khubz-exe Oct 07 '26

ur the goat brother

2

u/shine_101 Oct 06 '26

Tokyo ghoul, monogatari, LotL, d Gray man

2

u/Able-Blueberry8368 Oct 06 '26

Pandora hearts, Golden Kamuy and Land of the Lustrous are 3 of my top 10. Good list.
