I am just here to shill for Delicious in Dungeon. It’s a dungeon based anime that isn’t an isekai! Shocking, I know. The characters are really charming, there’s good world building, and while the plot is a slow burn, it’s super compelling. Also the adaptation is being done by Studio Trigger. Why are you still reading this, go watch Delicious in Dungeon!

Yeah! It's so fun :) I love how the guy just wants to eat monsters more than anything hahaha

[–] earlgrey0 2 points 10 months ago

Laios’s reactions are so adorable! The man clearly loves monsters with all of his heart and watching him geek out is delightful.

Seeing ProdZD as Senshi is so cool. I remember seeing his videos on Tumblr and saying to myself, "This dude is going places." And now here he is, in places, getting weird about eating monsters.

Steins Gate is pretty good but I hate how they wrote Ruka, I literally can't watch it because of that character and the plot literally revolving about invalidating their identity

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Oh yes, that annoyed me too. I hate how much it was pushed in your face and she had like no chances to be happy

That and nichijou are best ever

Second this. Just a mellow show.

I've just finished watching Odd Taxi. Very enjoyable story about a walrus taxi driver who is dragged into shady busines.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Second this too, one of the most underrated hidden gems in the recent time

Also listen to the show’s OST too, the entire album is filled with fine bangers

Diary of an Appthecary is a real delight

Angel beats sent me into a depressive spiral and emotional crash, very good, highly recommend

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

How does the anime adaptation compared to the original game? Should I watch it or play it out?

EDIT: Just found out that the Angel Beats anime came first before the game, so this question should be the other way around but… at this point this original question have become moot, so ignore it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Ngl, had no idea it was a game. Just watched it and loved it and completely broke apart

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

You should be in sales lmao

I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.

Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn't think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can't go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.

pluto ! I loved the manga and randomly found out that it got an anime adaptation last year. beautiful intense sci fi about sentient robots

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Seconded, best astro boy remake to date

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

To Your Eternity, probably not everyone's cup of tea but I've seen very few anime like it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Solid anime, gave it some attention when it was coming out but didn't keep up with it. Definitely gonna give it a second try

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

The anime arc is amazing. The manga continues being amazing for some time before turning... Weird, but interesting. Still recommended.

I read "gay" as "goy" at first and was really confused for a minute why you specifically didn't want Jewish opinions on anime.. 😂😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Mmm, fried guinea pig...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (4 children)

what about gay anime to watch? even better if its good

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

A good gay anime-while-not-being-anime to watch, is Killing Eve.

By the writer of Fleabag (and ❤️♥️ Crashing 💟🥰)

Realistic Sherlock Holmes♀️ and absolute icon Eve Polastri, and world class psychopath assassin-for-hire Villanelle, are so in sync that they're flirting through murder scenes, never having seen each other.

It's an absolute joy, being a little bit surreal around the edges, and very anime-like in execution.

mr villains day of

If you like fighting but Jojo's art style isn't your cup then I can recommend Record of Ragnarok and Kengan Ashura. Outside of fighting PLUTO was really good.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

RE: Creators. It's an anime with god-tier audio design about anime and the real world colliding, with "creations" coming to meet their "creators".

I really liked 91 Days. It's a crime drama set during the prohibition era and i rarely see it mentioned anywhere.

Just binged Skip to Loafer a couple of weeks ago, I'm still thinking about it now.

Ive been watching and enjoying Bucchigiri a lot. Its a Mappa original and its been very fun and colorful.

Ive also been watching Brave Bang Bravern. Its an over the top mech anime with a gay romance.

Oh and Mashel is also awesome if you want something that has more eps out to watch.

Started rewatching Michiko to Hatchin (check that spelling) is good. Also, Garden of Words is good too. I've just had my fill of isekai crap so i'm going back to the 2010s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (the original series, i don't know if the newer one is good or not yet,) Planetes, Mushi-Shi, Monster

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Currently enjoying classroom of the elite. It's certainly not perfect but it keeps me entertained

  • Jujutsu Kaisen
  • Demon Slayer
  • Black Clover (can be a bit wearing as it gets repetitive - fight - scream - fight - scream)

I'm impatiently watching Solo Leveling. Haven't read the manhwa on purpose, just so I don't get spoilers, but the comments I've read have me hopeful.
