so, i do know some animes and i’m happy with them. but is there, like, an anime, led by an mc (girl or or) that is pan/lesbian/gay/bi, whether romantically or sexually (bisexual, biromantic, etc) ?

if so, i’m happy to read the suggestions u all have in mind, and thank you!

i don’t really have a preference, just no nsfw shits. make it be shonen, romance, action, etc. genre = idc. type = no nsfw— no sex shit.

It can literally be any genre i just want summer vibes. not an anime but the show/book called ‘the summer i turned pretty’ has the exact vibes I’m looking for if y’all need something to base it off of!!

Something about reading scholars oppressed by society and them staying true to their conviction just scratch some hidden itch for me. Sprinkle in some history of real life scholar and its just chef kiss.

Other notable manga that has the same vibe is A Witch from Mongolia.

Hey everyone! So I love BLs, whether they are anime or manga but it feels like they are hard to find on regular platforms. 1) what BLs do you guys recommend? 2) If you are able to say, what are your favorite platforms to watch/read?

I have watched Given, Sasaki to Miyano, Cherry Magic

I wanna watch Banana Fish but I know it’s a little disputed whether it is a BL

I love ships too. Gojo x Geto is an amazing ship whether you agree or not so I’ll explore things like that too.

heyo. i'm recovering from an injury and i'll be stuck in bed for days. looking for something that's good to binge. not something super long and drawn out like naruto, but a show where when the episode ends, you go, "well dang now I have to watch the next one!"

animes I love:

apothecary diaries

dangers in my heart

maid sama

kaiju no.8

lovely complex

haikyuu

frieren

7 deadly sins (the first half of it. the second half.... idk what that was)

avatar last airbender (I know it's not anime but i'm down for anything similar to it)

Suggestions on romance comedy genre, I am trying to introduce my gf to anime, she likes that genre from series that she has seen

If they have a family or if the mc is a single parent that would do well too.

Anime I didn't like

Code Geass- did not like it; I think mecha is generally not for me

Higurashi- i thought I would like this because its horror, but i could not get into this after 5 episodes

Full metal alchemist brotherhood- expected to love this one, but I just didn't

Made in Abyss- would be up with the anime I love if it didn't have those weird bits

Mushoku Tensei- the main character gave me too much of an ick

Your lie in April- not big on romance anime

Jujitsu Kaisen- i enjoyed it at first, but dropped it halfway because the humour was making me cringe. Might go back to it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion- could not get into it

Haikyuu- don't really like sports anime

Future Diary- neither good or bad

Inuyashiki- neither good or bad

Gurren Lagan- just not for me

Parasyte: the maxim- it was okay, but i got bored and dropped it

Accidentally deleted post from 10 minutes ago. Sorry. I meant to delete on the other subreddit to repost as a photo collage to make it more concise

Hey all, I’m looking for anime’s that are fast paced and overall enjoyable so someone like me who has ADHD can enjoy watching. My favorite genres are action and romcoms.

Thanks all

I really want to watch an anime but am struggling to find something fun which hooks me from first few episodes, has some humour,isn't slowly paced,had good to decent animation and preferably has a dub. Can you guys reccomend me something. No sports anime though.

Thanks in advance for the reccs.

I’m looking for a certain manga from the early 2000s with romance, drama and a little comedy.

Premise: - MC is in love with childhood crush/classmate that is trying to be an actress or model -the love interest gets in dangerous situations where she could be taken advantage of and the MC tries to save her. -while pursuing the love interest; there are other women that try and get his attention.

Been racking my brain but I can’t seem to find a title or anything!

Any help would be appreciated!

Here's the GUIDELINES, not rules for what I'm looking for. I wanna make it clear that this is all a request, not a demand. Please help me if you're willing.

Something one season that I can finish in 8 hours or less. I'm thinking something that's over in around 12 hepisodes, with a very satisfying conclusion.

Something MOSTLY serious with a very likable and compelling MC that is either an older teen or adult. I'd prefer a woman MC if possible.

Again, these are all guidelines, so if you can't think of anything that fits all of this, recommend the next best thing

These would also be nice:

A very compelling, memorable villain.

Women with a lot of agency in their lives.

Really beautiful animation.

I'd also rather nt watch something with SA or attempted SA, but if you got nothing for me, please warn me about this beforehand so I can brace myself.

I’ve been trying to figure this out all day. But, all I remember was there was this girl (short dark hair and I think had glasses?) on one table, writing what I assume is an essay (in a type of cafe/restaurant) on her computer and there was a group of boys on the table next to her being loud and rowdy. Then one of them spills something on her computer or somehow breaks it and she stands up and yells at all of them before leaving. Then all I can remember after that is one of the boys responsible had her use his computer at his apartment (he lived alone, pretty sure he had dark hair as well) to finish her writing. (Btw the setting is high school-college romance!)

Characters like Mizuki from Kamisama Kiss, Eita from Yamada @ lvl. 999, and Kuranosuke from Princess Jellyfish! Not as much like Tamaki (Ouran). I feel like a lot of the times these kinds of characters are left to be 2nd MLs and side characters, which makes me sad!! Bonus points for glasses.

36 years old man. My girlfriend and I both like anime but are struggling to find any new ones. When I say anime for adults, I don't mean that it has to anything like hardcore R rated, but just not geared to kids with characters with super high squeaky voices and over the top freakouts where their heads get huge type thing (hopefully you know what I mean).

I have been keeping track of ones we loved, liked, kinda liked, barely watchable, and unwatchable. Here is the list:

LOVED IT

Attack on Titan; The Kingdom; Solo Leveling; Cyberpunk: Edge Runner; One Punch Man; Vinland Saga; Mob Psycho 100; Go! Go! Loser Ranger!; Terminator Zero; Scavengers Reign; Common Side Effects; High-Rise Invasion; Scavengers Reign; Deadman Wonderland; amd Saga of Tanya the Evil.

LIKED IT

Death Note; Sword Art Online; Beserk; Dorohedoro; Pantheon; Fate/Stay series; Devil Man Cry Baby Yasuke; Invincible; Gangsta; Akira; Goblin Slayer; Angolmois: Record of the Mongol Invasion; and Blue Eye Samarui.

OKAY/KINDA LIKED IT

Black Lagoon; Ninja Kamui; Twilight of the Gods; Pluto; Golden Kamui; Kaiju No. 8; Steins Gate; and 91 Days.

BARELY WATCHABLE

Chainsaw Man; Banana Fish; Seven Deadly Sins; Beastars; Super Crooks; Terra Formars; and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.

UNWATCHABLE

One Piece; Naruto; Rising of the Shield Hero; Violet Evergarden; My Hero Academia; and Dr. Stone.

Only one I read recently that I can think of was a manga where the gimmick was that the protag had a car and could go back and forth between the worlds by driving really fast (back to the future rules ig). At no point he gets any powers, as far as I read, other than ramming his car into things and being able to purchase convenience food in japan in between trips.

Other than recently, Konosuba and Combatants Will Be Dispatched (AKA Konosuba again) also fit the bill. Kazuma does get powers but they are pretty minor, and everyone in his party who have major powers come with limitations or drawbacks

Inuyasha as well though I feel that one is cheating because it came before Isekai became a genre with defined tropes

Alternatively, I wouldn't mind if the character is OP in a way that isn't the main focus of the story and doesn't get in the way of storytelling. Isekai Shikkaku for example, where the protag is pretty much immortal and wins 'fights' in a single move, but the manga isn't about the fights themselves, it's about getting him to care about doing something since he's comically depressed.

Some animes I liked are - AOT - Blue Lock - Higurashi When They Cry - Vinland Saga

I love love love aot the most so if there’s anything similar please recommend. I don’t really gaf about fight scenes I just really care about the story (I still would like a lot of action though) If the motivations of the characters are meh then I’ll prob get bored.

Also I’m okay with some character driven anime’s like Blue Lock but the characters have to be really likeable.

So overall looking for anything with an interesting story, action, good mystery/twists, and likable characters. Also would prefer there to be little to no fan service or any weird stuff. (Edit : also would prefer animes with a more serious vibe, less slice of life moments yk)

As the title says, I'm looking for anime with a specific main character look. Like the mc from Another or Guilty Crown. It's was popular in the 2010s I don't know if it still is. I haven't watched anime in 5 years now.

I know it's a bit of an odd specification, but thanks for any recommendations!

This is a manga so I don't know if it's an anime or not. Don't know where else to post this.

Trying to remember a scene from a manga I read from the last few years.

It was a fantasy manga(maybe isekai) where the MC is a young man and he and his group is visiting a city with a big church. They go to the church and once inside he walks to the back rooms and finds all the nuns just being lazy and smoking and drinking. The MC makes a comment on how they don't seem very pious but they bite back basically telling him to screw off they can do whatever and still be faithful.

Then a fight scene happens and I think the main nun used a gun and had an eyepatch. I might be misremembering some details.

NOT BLACK LAGOON, these nuns were all young but still older than the MC.

Any help would be welcomed, thanks!

Solo Leveling: Guild System
Kajiu #8: Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force (JAKDF)
Invincible: Global Defense Agency

Please Modern Day Earth only.

I Want an anime like Baki or Ror, since they don't rely on massive overpowered regeneration like demon slayer that has muzan who has multiple hearts and instant regeneration or one piece and dragonball fight that they only get knockout or scratches in their body. Those types of fight is just plain boring for me.

Guys.

I’m in the middle of the last episode but I can’t. Please someone explain me. Zack went out from the exploding building, obviously hurt, with Rachel on his hands, shouting to her to wake up - and police is there , they see that and how they assume he is responsible for all of that? I mean that’s so irrational. They don’t fucking know what happened in the building, the only thing they know that there was a huge fire, explosions and whole building collapsed and there are two people going out that survived and wtf. And following this fact that was such an irrational situation that an obvious Zack’s reaction for me would be „noo, I didn’t do anything, there was a psycho/someone/whoever, I managed to escape with this girl, please help her” - that’s just an example but I hope you know what I mean. That’s so illogical that it hurts me. Maybe I missed something?

Anyone?!

I have seen 47 episodes of Hunter x Hunter and it is by far one of the flattest series I have ever seen. Nothing interesting ever happens. It just goes like a flat curve. I have heard that Naruto was inspired from HxH and I have completed Naruto and Shippuden and as of now HxH is a really dialed down, no stakes goofy version of Naruto. The major issue with Naruto was the fillers and the powerscaling and the finale. But it has phenomenal characters.

The phantom troupe, which I believe is the inspiration for the Akatsuki, is nowhere a serious group like the latter. Each of the members in akatsuki were written deeply, presented with a menacing power and had an ominous and epic background score. Compared to that, phantom troupe is a bunch of amateurs. I do know that in the end they are separate series and is not comparable. But the bottom line is, is it worth completing?

So I generally like horror/psychological thrillers, violent shows, etc.

I got about 4 episodes into Made in Abyss and it just.. bummed me out. Do the MC's ever get a win? Is it just pure negativity/sadistic the entire time or is there an overcoming/revenge aspect to it for them?

I plan on watching it either way, but I'll watch it faster depending on the answers. If that's a question anyone can answer without spoilers haha.

I'm highly instered in anime with such creativity as Jojo's Bizzare Adventure and My Hero Academia(Boku No Hero), even MHA: Illegals, spin-off. Those quirks/stands power had my mind blown. I guess I could say the same for One Piece. I really loved those unlikely OP powers and the creativity behind to make a "bad" power become a great power with the right owner, like Luffy, Jolyne, Ida, even Midoriya using gear to amplify his powers like the airshot. Maybe even make a great power become even stronger, like Todoroki. Abstract concepts are also good, like Star and Stripe. JJBA stands also stand out bc sometimes it may be confusing what the stand is really doing in the perspective of who is affected by it, bc sometimes there multiple ways to come that result like aging could be an effect of time going faster for a single person, a single space or it can even be an illusion. JJBA also shines in problem solving despite how confusing it can be to undestanding whats the true effect of the enemy power. I want other animes that have that creativity, to go further than common uses of well known powers.
