edit: feel free to reply no matter how old this thread gets!

I'm not particularly into anime, I like it just as much as live action shows or other types of animation. Having said that, I feel like watching some and I'm not sure what to pick.

Here's a list of other anime shows I've watched/manga and novels I've read, so you can better judge what to recommend. ( would greatly appreciate the story to be completed, I hate waiting years for closure) :

Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto : both great stories, I've read the mangas and loved them. They wouldn't be a priority to watch because I already read them.

Attack on Titan: started with the anime, it was great, switched to the manga, got extremely disappointed with the story development and its ending. It felt a bit like nonsense for me.

Dragon Ball/Z : probably my favourite, I've rewatched it recently. I don't like GT and Super.

Overlord: I've read good part of the novel and manga. I'm liking it so far

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: please No thanks. Not for me.

Death Note: loved the first arc, not a fan of the ending but no hate for it unlike with AOT.

I also recall Escaflowne and Inuyasha, they were alright but not something I've loved or hated. Cowboy Bebop also in this category, excellent visually and great OST but the story wasn't as gripping.

Other than that... Feel free to suggest any other titles! Extra thanks if you are specific about any versions and why is the show so great.

TIA

All the series I recommends below are complete. (tells story from start to end)

  • Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (There are TV series and movies that both tell similar story but not the same, TV series have darker story)

  • Kill la Kill

  • Blast of Tempest

  • Assassination Classroom

  • Back Arrow (first half of series is meh but it becomes better and better)

  • Mob psycho 100

  • Summer Time Render

Log Horizon is fantastic

[-] WhatTheFDR@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Cowboy Bebop, the series and movie. I'm not particularly into anime either but the story, characters, music and animation are all top tier.

Yup I've listed it last, it a good show and I agree on all scores with you except the story, which for some reason feels a bit too relaxed for me. But it is good, no doubt

If you want some 80s badassery, Hokuto no Ken.

Listen to the opening, "Ai wo Torimodose" and decide if it's to your liking or not.

  • Code Geas is similar to death note, i think it's a more satisfying ending than death note.
  • My hero academia is great super hero/fighting anime.
  • One punch man is a masterful parody of the super hero genre
  • seven deadly sins is good, with lots of interesting characters.
  • Hetalia axis powers is an amusing take on European history as told by Japan with a comedy style.

My favorites are Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, From the New World and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Both have excellent stories.

For what they are:

  • Steins;Gate: Watch humans losting in time travels.
  • Steins;Gate: AI with time travels...
  • From the New World: A world of supermans and weak creatures.
  • Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Horror of Japan culture from old times.

on that note, Miyazaki's filmography. just all of it

[-] jaackf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Cowboy Bebop

I'm a little disappointed that Hajime No Ippo wasn't mentioned. It's from the early 2000s, plays in the late 80s and it's about boxing. The writing and how fleshed out the characters are is unexpectedly good for that kind of setup and it's one of my absolute favorites.

Two great comical animes are golden boy and great teacher onizuka but they have a lot of cliche anime perverted jokes I can see putting off a lot of people especially when they're not deep into anime.

Then there's goblin slayer but you might want to look up the controversy about the first episode before you go blindly into it.

I'll piggyback here to mention Yawara! for another great cross between sports (women's judo) and teenage drama/comedy. They did a great job on the anime but IIRC it only covers part of the manga. It's a great feminine counterpart to Hajime no Ippo.

One of my favorites is Black Rock Shooter. It's a bit wierd around the edges and it's presented as this girly slice of life but it's actually deeper and very cool
