Late to the party but Dandadan should be on your list

Aight, thanks mate!

I'm gonna suggest two animes too:

Baccano! Non-linear storytelling, 1930s Chicago, and mostly on a train. Fantastic 12 episode anime (no need to watch the OVAs they are mostly an extended epilogue).

Akudama Drive: Fantastic cyberpunk, action. Awesome characters. 12 Episodes long and complete.

Note: I see OP's (closed), but I don't see them recommended often and both are only 12 episodes long and complete and extremely good.

UPDATE1. Baccano! -- already into the first episode, and its fantastic!! Very innovative 9/10

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks a lot. Yes i did mark it as closed, but thats only to let people know my current list is full (i have like limited time). Ill keep you all updated, share my thoughts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Fruits Basket (2019), it's a wonderful show about trauma, healing, and the power of simply being a kind human being.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ill check it out tooo thanks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Link Click! ik its technically a donghua (basically chinese anime) but its a really great show

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Witch watch and Anne Shirley are currently airing, you will love them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Currently airing you say? Thank you so much, ill check it out too...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you're looking for romance drama, I suggest Nana. It's one of my all time favourites.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ill be sure to watch it soon... thanks a lot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

You're welcome! Have fun.

Dunno whats with the downvotes, ill check it out tho, thanks...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don't watch this, it's porn. It's a troll-y/meme-y answer to suggest to new anime watchers to shock them. If you want to know the general plot, here is an old reddit thread.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for warning me man... im trying to stay away from such content...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sorry, it's a running joke. I wasn't expecting you to take it seriously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

S'all good man. Id better put a warning next time...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

SHOWS Frieren, Full metal alchemist, Fire force, Delicious in dungeon, Akame ga kill, Jujitsu kaisen, Rent a girlfriend (not for everyone), Apothecary diaries

MOVIES Cowboy bebop, Ninjascroll (not for everyone), Princess mononoke, Laputa, Ponio, Spirited away

These are just a few off the top of my head. Not everyone will agree but its something to look at

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Woah, thanks dude, guess my weekend is loaded :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Please don't recommend Akame ga Kill, they made a terrible anime ending that has nothing to do with the manga, leaving it open would be better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Imma check one episode first, then see...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What genres are you interested in?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Im still finding out yk... this is my first time watching ANYTHING in general. I watch a lot of horror/gore when i was small tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They're vastly different than Your Lie in April, which is a romance, but if you enjoy horror/gore, I'd recommend "Gantz" or "Berserk".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Gantz: personally not for me Berserk: 7 / 10, lore is very interesting, but some "questionable" scenes are there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yea, it took some time for me to appreciate Your Lie in April... but ive changed since i was small... still, ill check Gantz out first then...

Edit: from the two you suggested, i prefer Berserk

Classic anime sci-fi movies Ghost in the Shell and Akira are must watch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ooo, sci fi... ill check it out soon. Cant say ive enjoyed a lot of sci fi tho. Thanks anyhoo mate

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I recommend AnoHana. It is also a drama but with a splash of supernatural instead of romance.

Another easy recommendation in the fantasy genre is Frieren which is currently the highest rated anime on MAL, so it's hard to go wrong there.

My personal favorite anime is Haibane Renmei but after that, there isn't much worth in watching anything else anymore since it's only downhill from there, so I suggest to only watch it once you got your fill.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you so much... i dont really have a lot of time, but ill be sure to check all of them out!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Salaryman Kintaro. It wields absurdity just right.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Alright... ill be sure to check out your recommendations, thanks a lot
