LinkEighty-six
Pls watch or read eighty-six (yes, that’s the name), it has AMAZING storytelling, and worldbuilding !! It’s mainly a shonen novel BUT, pls read/watch if you’re into heavy character complexity, and story weight
It has some slow burn too, but it is absolutely NOT the main theme
Kaiji
Sooooooo good.it’s about gambling but it is amazing. Please please PLEASE watch it
No romance btw
Give me recommendations too

LinkWhy did I write anime
It can be manga as well!! I loooovee manga, I usually buy 2 or 3 when I get to japan every summer
These two are considered to be more popular atm
The summer hikaru died IS SO GOOD. I love it. I love psychological thriller and complex relationships holllyyyyy
FRIEREN!!
If you’re looking for a more slice of life animanga, this is it. It’s also pretty philosophical. It’s great
GINTAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Heavy recc)
I’m totally not recommending this because it’s my favorite and that I’m heavily biased towards it !!
Okay. It’s incredibly funny, has some lore as well but gosh. The comedy is absolute GOLD. The early chapters aren’t that funny though
Assassination classroom
I’ve read this when I was in 6th grade but it’s pretty good. Honestly enjoyed the manga more than the anime though, not my top favs but it’s good.
INUYASHA !!
This animanga is like. ROOTED in my family blood. My grandma loved this, my mom loved this, I liked it. READ IT OR WATCH IT!!!

LinkMOB PSYCHO 100 !!!! (Also One Punch Man)
ONE is an amazing webcomic artist/writer, pls read or watch his works. I have so much opm mangas heheh,,, okay anyways, BOTH of these are AMAZING!!!! Both of these has good comedy and story line.
Jjba
SO GOOD. Watch every season. If you don't like season one, watch or read the next seasons pls, they're good. Every 'part' / season has a different main character !
It's a great adventure shonen manga. My mom was a huge fan of it during her highschool years (which means you should read it.)
I would recommend full metal alchemist but I think everyone already knows or watched it already. If you haven't, please do
ACE ATTORNEY
PLEEEASSEE READ OR WATCH IT OR EVEN PLAY IT!!! it's great, really fun, sometimes funny too! just do it
the disastrous life of saiki k
Idk WHO hasn't watched or read this but if you haven't, do it. It's incredibly funny and fun to watch. Plus, the characters are great !
SILVER SPOON
ITS AMAZING, IDK IF THEY HAVE AN ANIME BUT THE MA

Linkthe manga is amazing. Not many people know Abt silver spoon, but it's great. It's a slice-of-life genre, some comedy, and such :D
I mainly recommend giving a watch or read for 86, kaiji, Gintama (PLEASE), and silver spoon ! As I feel like not many ppl know abt these animangas in the US

LinkI FORGOT TO MENTION REZERO
OKAY,,, it MIGHT be annoying to watch Subaru at first (as my brother was so angry for some reason) but he will go through character development and that's kind of the whole plot of the story? it's like. Sins you know? hard to explain without spoiling aaugghh

LinkADVENTURES OF SINBAD

I’ve been really into Centaurs by Ryo sumiyoshi!!! (Although I can’t find anywhere to read book four,, BUT ITS SUPER GOOD) I REALLY REALLYLOVE THE ART IN IT 🔥🔥
Ohshc is really good too, I watched it when I was like 11 and it’s been kind of a comfort anime for me! Kiri got me the box set for our birthday :33 it’s so pretty hehe
Jjba for sure, 10/10 sbr is gonna come out you must watch fr 💪💪
SHOUNAN BAKUSOZUKO very silly motercycles gang i watched it on YouTube I like the main character Eguchi he has purple hair hehe
Kyō Kara Ore Wa/starting today it’s my turn is another silly delinquent anime show, it’s just about a boy who decides one day he’s gonna be a gangster it’s very silly :]] the outro is very catchy and I wish they had it on Spotify or something so I could listen to it on repeat fr
Banana fish! Very sad and as much as I love it i sometimes wish I never watched it because it has such a hold on my heart bro every time I think about it my chest hurts it’s so sad but so good
OMG AND DONT FOREGET ABT YU YU HAKUSHO I love love love yu yu hakusho please check it out if you haven’t 🙏 idk where you’d watch it now bc Netflix decided to REMOVE THE WHOLE SERIES? And then Hulu only has like half of season three (it legit ends on a part 1 of a random fight it’s so dumb idksnzmmzzmzm)
Trigun too ofc live laugh love both trigun and trigun stampede
I’ll add more as they come to me,,
YESSS CENTAURS COVER ART IS SO APPEALING TO ME,,,, i really like their artstyle what,,
OMG OHSHC. I watched that a bit but stopped bc my brother didn’t like it :< (eventually started watching it with an irl friend during middle school lol)
OHHH SHOUNAN BAKUSOZUKO!!! I remember drawing a custom based on the main character hehe,, I wonder what it’s like hmm
All these gangster animes reminded me of Yu Yu Hakusho,, I feel like you’d like it maybe,,,,,,,
IVE BEEN WANTING TO WATCH BANANA FISH AND THEN WATCHED SOME SPOILERS AUGHHH…
HELP IM GIGGLING I LOVE WAS TYPING WHILE READING
I’m glad u watched Yu Yu Hakusho,,, its so good
I KNOWWWW,, Netflix LOVES REMOVING ANIME SERIES AUGHH. They removed one of my favs, adventures of sinbad :/
I’ve never heard of trigun before ! It looks familiar though,, I feel like my mom would like / watched this gasp
Might ask her abt it to her later heh
EEE centaurs has been bringing me so much joy and inspiration recently fr,, I’ve been drawing so many centaurs I love matsukaze 💜💜 he’s so silly
YES I need to draw the custom you made me fr,, he’s so silly I love eguchi hehe
YES YU YU HAKUSHO IS SO GOOD I loved it so much I dragged kiri into it her favorite character is kurama :]]
Ohh I feel like you’d enjoy trigun!!! Like a whole bunch omg you should totally watch it !!!
SPEAKING OF WHICH ME AND MY BROTHER WERE WATCHING YU YU HAKUSHO BUT DIDNT FINSIH IT BECAUSE IT WAS REMOVED AAHUUGHHH
we were on like ep 11 or something, or maybe ep 9 I don't remember sigh
centaurs sound so interesting,,, what hooks u into it? I was curious if it's the worldbuilding (like centaurs roaming around, how they hunt/live, hybrids, etc.) or plot ! I love worldbuilding sooo much,,, like dungeon meshi,,
YESS I'll see if its on Crunchyroll or Netflix ! If it's on Netflix, I'd have less time to watch it though :'D
I started it because an artist I really like said it was one of their inspirations! (Prykatnations or something,, I can’t ever remember how to spell their user right sigh) and then I fell in love with the art it’s just so pretty fr :] I also really like the story, humans use the centaurs for war and some have their arms removed so that humans can control them better! (Idrk how to explain it,, I’ve only read up to book three 💔 but I liked what I could read!)
OH YES I loved dungeon meshi :]] I enjoyed it so much as soon as I finished the series I found a way to read the rest online hehe laios is so silly and I loved his chimera form both feral and humanoid fr
OOOHHH!!! I’m definitely going to check their art,,,,,,, chimeras are so coolllllllll I need to learn more human and animal anatomy though grr
YES IVE HEARD ABOUT CHIMERA LAIOS AND IM SO RXCITED
I actually ALMOST got the manga in Japan but it didn’t have furigana soo I couldn’t read it
Being able to read hiragana and katakana has it’s benefits though sigh
UGHH THE DUNGEON MESHI PHYSICAL MANGA LOOKED SO COOL.
Yess yess check them out they’re SUCH a huge inspo for me I absolutely love them frffrfr
Grgr yeah animal and human anatomy 😔 I just stare at photos and draw them until they look half decent?? Takes forever though, it’s really fun if you do it with animals you like (LIKE HORSES!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE DRAWING HORSES!!!!!) I have like seven straight pages of just horses because I wanted to improve how I draw them for centaurs and bro horses are so fun
my goodness this isn’t abt horses 💔 YEAH DUDE I HOPE YOU CAN GET THE PHYSICAL COPIES SOON! It’s so pretty fr,, I only have (book 11 or 14? I don’t remember) but it covers my favorite part hehe monster Laios <33 so pretty I love looking back at it for inspiration it’s just so so so pretty
the only animes im remotely familiar with is cowboy bebop and evangelion and the evangelion rebuilds
pretty good series none the less
Angels of death: concerns a girl who wants to die and a serial killer who wants to escape a facility both are trapped in they make a deal if the girl can find a way to escape he will kill her however other killers and puzzles are around this facility will they escape or will they perish
junji ito maniac japanese tales of the macabre: the famous horror manga artist's work comes to life and nothing is held back with detailed animation and terrifiying visuals are you ready to go into the mind of the macabre
Komi cant communicate: "When a person has extreme social anxiety, they struggle to communicate with others. Bear in mind, they only struggle to form connections. It doesn't mean that they don't want to"
the story involves a girl named komi who has extreme social anxiety with a goal of making 100 friends by the end of the year with the help of Tadano,Najimi,Yamai and Agari will she get over her anxiety and reach the goal of 100 friends by the end of the year?
IVE SEEN UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNTS OF CLIPS FROM ANGELS OF DEATH.. including clips of the literal game itself
I should seriously watch it, tysm for reminding me 🥹
I’ve watched all the other ones, still great recommendations! I love junji ito’s mangas, they’re gen so creativeee
YES WATCH IT I LITERALLY BASED TWO OC'S OFF THEM SO YOU KNOW ITS PEAK
Im not sure if you'd enjoy Vivy: Flourite Eye's song, but you can check it out. It's my favorite anime original series. It's super cool and inspired one of my stories almost completely. It's about a AI who sings to make people smile. She is tasked with changing the future one day. It is action but it's got some of the greatest production value. Which includes music, choreography, characters, and voice acting. So it's basically Miku but she fights the future. Idk fun series, especially if you like Re:zero
GUYS LOOKIE LOOKK MY ACCEOUNT IS SO COOL.... ((aka look at when it was made)) ANYWHO IVE BEEN WANTING TO SAY THIS FOR A WHILE I <3 UR ART!!!!!!! WAWA anywho. id reccomend toilet bound hanako kun (it sounds weird but its so peak ong)
UUHHH i dont know why they did that, but i pirated it from somewhere IM SURE YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING ON REDDIT!!!! butr. yeah its cewl ((THESE FREAKING RECAPCHAS WHYD IT MAKE ME DO IT 10 TIMES....
you should watch your lie in April it's a wholesome happy anime about characters learning to play instruments with each other and trying to perform together
watch wataoshi and girls last tour and lucky star and bloom into you
SOUL EATER WAS SO GOOD. I rewatched it 2-3 times
I've watched some lucky star eps! Decided to drop it though,,
I'm pretty sure my friend is obsessed with bloom into you and wataoshi, I'll give it a watch
on the side note, thanks for recommending girls last tour, I've seen the manga everywhere but never got its title !
Not the same person from above at all, but you should totally watch konosuba. Its a really freaky isekai anime, but it's probably one of the top anime comedies out there. By freaky, I just mean fanservice and Mc fantasies, but over all, peak show. This isn't a major recommendation though, just another anime to laugh at if you've finished gintama or saiki K
OHHH KOE NO KATACHI thank u for directly translating the actual title oml
I just realized that if it was ‘silent voice’ it would be shizuka na/no koe
Okay anyways IT WAS GOOD!!! I watched it when I was 10 or smth though, so I didn’t understand it well when I was a child. Loved the animation though
I should rewatch it bc I have a bigger brain now,,,,
HAHA YES!! ^U^ I try my best!! :De
YES IT IS SO GOOD!!! WOOOHOO. YOU SHOULD TOTALLY RE WATCH IT!! I re watched with my friends on YouTube like a week ago!!
Hmm I think I’ve seen very few clips of this one
I don’t watch romance animes much unless it also holds the focus of psychology, humor, mystery, amazing storyline, character development, and such
I’ll still try to watch an episode though ! :D it might have some gold humor or slice-of-life……. Hehe
Ily for recc saiki and jjba, I used to be a fangirl for risotto
Reccs for you:
Monster (2004) - The exploration of the moral human dilemma of good and evil, following a doctor having lost everything after saving the life of a young, blonde boy
--
Monogatari (haven't finished): I do not know if the fanservice acts as a story device like Kill la Kill does (I believe for some characters where SA is introduced it does? Regardless, don't let it shy you away) Fantastic stories and wonderful dialogue and writing style.. terribly terribly impressive animation and direction to boot
--
Space Patrol Luluco: Stylistic and cute, you follow a girl named Luluco
I forgot. Just watch it if you like studio trigger. I liked the art.
--
Sage of Tanya The Evil: Really great worldbuilding and immersive backgrounds.. You follow the reincarnation of a bastard office corporation boss, now born as a small frail girl by an unknown source deemed "Being X" that aims to convert our protagonist towards faith.
I like Sage of Tanya The Evil because I like that Tanya was even allowed into the military
They don't go into sexism or talks of gender much at all though, so it's fun to watch it all just come and go
--
Kill La Kill: Charming and actually something with fanservice that I can enjoy watching because it's portrayed in a way I'm comfortable with. It all actually gave more character to everyone, incredibly charming! Ended up being something dear to my heart. I'm too lazy to get into the plot summary, but don't lose your way.
--
My Dress-Up Darling: While the fanservice in this is something I disagree with only because Marin is 15, I feel in concept it actually ties in with the girl main character too! Made me a lot less shameless to engage with the things I loved, and its totally cute too. Knowing it was written by a woman was not surprising to me either, Marin was written so wonderfully it's incredible!! It all comes down to something similar to Kill la Kill, albeit more slice of life and super cute.
--
Overlord: I don't know anymore, I've rewatched it like 4 times? I like watching big skeleton man run politics and strategy and grow. Oh and his henchman are great. Super great.
--
My Next Life As A Villainess: Also written by a woman!! No wonder it was so cute. I love our heroine so much. This is a harem shojou anime, but it's super chill and can be very fun. The style is my favorite and makes me hungry for sweets. Caters to lesbians too, seriously a win for yuri and hetero. (Or a win for biwomen)
Anime I don't reccomend:
Maid-Sama
I don't know that anime was so dumb though I couldn't last any episode so I gave up
Anime I do reccomend (last one)
Ousama Ranking (Ranking of Kings): Inspirational story about a mute, deaf, and physially disabled prince who aspires to become an honorable king. Incredible art style and my favorite cuts of animation! Be warned, the story does propagate ideas similar to anti-korean, japanese nationalist beliefs in episode 18.
RISOTTO!!! I honestly can see how and why
I FORGOT ABOUT MONSTER. I watched it with my brother, not all the episodes but wow. That was an amazing psychological piece of work
ooohh!! I don't think I've watched monogatari, I've seen nadeko from the opening 100% though lol,, RIGHTT!!! Fan service usually ruins my enjoyment so that would be great ,,,
reminded me of classroom of the elite omg
space patrol! I can see studio triggers artstyle,,,, it does look cute !
SAGE OF TANYA!!!!!! I watched that with my brother. It was REALLY GOOD! I'm not sure if we finished it though,, watched the crossover chibi anime as well (the one with rezero, konosuba, overlord!!)
kill la kill was rlly interesting at first! We only watched two episodes and forgot abt it though :( Dannngg!! I'll get back into it then, I didn't know that there was more to it wow.
I've seen and heard abt my dress up darling SO MANY TIMES but never gave it a watch because I avoided most romance genres,,, it sounds like it was powerful!
OVERLORD OMLL. I haven't heard that title in almost ages,, I love his henchmen sm as well,, all their characteristics are honestly great and I love watching ittt!! great recommendation
I loooveee reading these sorts of genres online so I'll give it a read hehe >:] it sounds pretty good! I feel like I haven't heard harem shojou forever omg ,,
OUSAMA RANKING!!!! Saw SO many clips of it... I feel like I already watched it because of that lmao
I never knew that it propagated ideas like that? I'll still give it a PROPER watch this time,, thanks for the recommendations !!
I'll probably go check if I finished sage of Tanya first though hehe
