Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?

Higurashi when they cry. Not the new stuff but the old stuff.

Just visited the village it's based off of IRL and man was it a sight to behold. Simply a beautiful area.

I will never stop recommending Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Madoka Magika.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Gushing over magical girls is a good spiritual sequel to madoka

I’m surprised no one has mentioned The Wire. A TVshow taking place in Baltimore about intricate relationship between drug dealers, police and politics. Love every part of it!

It’s shot in 4:3 aspect ratio despite 16:9 starting to become the standard for tv at the time. It’s has since been “remastered” and adjusted to 16:9 aspect ratio. I was worried it would ruin an already perfect show but I actually liked it. It’s an HBO show.

Long episodes (60min?) and might take a few episodes to get into as there are many characters and storylines that interlace.

Thanks be later, probably.

Everybody kind of slept on it but I really like AppleTV's See. Really unfortunate name for a pretty interesting premise, and the fight scenes are brutal and very well shot.

Bloom into you, the only anime that existed in my head

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - A Netflix K-drama about an autistic savant lawyer. It's charming, funny, and has a really beautiful story overall.

Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - a cute and fun anime about Maple, who doesn't want to get hurt in a VR MMO so she maxes her defense and becomes a hero.

I like light-hearted shows, so I'll be checking out a few of the ones in this thread 🙂

  • Frieren — fantasy, drama about an elf dealing with feelings she didn’t think she had
  • Delicious in Dungeon — Fantasy, comedy/light drama about rescuing a party member and eating monsters along the way.
  • Kaguya Sama — rom-com about not losing the love war
  • Konosuba — Isekai comedy about… nothing really
  • That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime — Isekai about being reincarnated as a slime monster, then building a wonderful found family community of monsters.

They’re all pretty light hearted but all are well made and fun.

My only problem with Delicious in Dungeon is that later episodes don't have as much cooking. I'd love for them to get into food preservation now that they're deeper in the dungeon and food is getting scarce. Pickling, salting, smoking, etc.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just a few off the top of me head.

Because of the way you formatted that, it all showed up one word after the others and it tells something about the genre that I couldn't recognise how many you mentioned. Thought it was like a single name for an anime show. Which imo wouldn't be unheard of

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

yeah sorry about that, I had paragraph returns but didn’t come through—mobile app glitch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah happens to the best of us

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's a feature not a bug; a single line break while composing doesn't appear as a break in the post.
Adding two spaces at the end of the line will let you do a single line. There's another method but I have forgotten it because I always just do two spaces

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (3 children)

How does that function as a feature? What purpose does ignoring paragraph returns serve?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It’s Markdown, which is a a fairly standard and minimalistic formatting syntax.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

No clue, but I know it's intended.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, but I'm not the person who has it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Monster

74 episodes. Psychological thriller. Serial murder mystery, but instead of "whodunit?" it's "whydunit?". Dramatic as an opera. No weird tropes. Superb character development. I love Magnificent Steiner.

Frieren for anime - It has everything I love about anime.
MASH for TV show (version without laugh tracks) - Kind of old, but even now, the humor is not outdated.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It's been a few years that I've learned that MASH had laugh track. It's so weird. I never saw mash with laugh track and not even a morbid curiosity makes me want to try that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

"everything I love about anime" is a suspicious recommendation from a stranger on the internet!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I like watching Trigun, Clannad, Blood+ but I also really reccomend people read some Manga:

  • Tank Chair by Yashiro Manabu

  • Elfen Leid by Okamoto Lynn (also has an anime, but different endings)

  • Moto Shogun no Undead Knight by Shuko and Necoco

  • Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu (manga announced)

  • You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead by Uguiso Sachiko

  • Dai Dark by Q Hayashida
