hii,
my first anime was naruto and I loved it. then I started watching blich and it was good.
at last I watched one piece and this anime is astoundingly awesome. it’s concept of a new world pirates and marines are mind blowing. I liked the store to find one piece. every character has great and emotional back stories. kuma’s back was the best out of all of them. I love the words of doflamingo: “I’m just an ordinary man with an ordinary heart. I’ll change the world by becoming the Pirate King! No, by becoming someone greater than any Pirate King! Someone who conquers the sea and usurps the very heavens! No matter what you say, or what anyone else says, I am going to become the greatest! That’s what I’ve decided! I don’t give a damn about conquering some worthless seas. Men’s dreams will never die! Children who have never seen peace and children who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what’s wrong and what’s right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!”
there is so much I can add about one piece but I will keep it short.
I would love to hear about your opinions about your favourite anime

It’s always going to be Cowboy Bebop for me but one less people have watched that is absolutely hilarious is Detroit Metal City.
Same here after all these years and a whole slew of anime. Haven’t seen Detroit Metal City, tho. Will check it out.
Death Note was my first non-Toonami anime (dbz/voltron/etc). It’s the only anime I could get my wife to check out. Truly awesome. I was 20 when I first watched it and thought Light was awesome. Watching it now 16 years later and man does it hit different. I now view Light as a complete psychopath and actively root against him. Love that my view of the characters is a complete 180 from my early years.
Legend of Vox Machina is freaking incredible and is probably my most re-watched “anime”.
yes, Death note is truly awesome but I quit watching if after L’s death. I really hated Light from the beginning and loved the character of L. when after killing L Light goes to L’s grave and he laughed at his grave it was painful to watch it was a very dark scene.
Yes it is very dark but thats exactly what makes the anime so awesome.
King of the Hill
That’s amazing, I hate it. Thank you for sharing that!
I think still Bebop.
Bebop is King.
Champloo is the brother who would have been king but was born too late.
Bebop is the first anime I watched, and I was introduced to it by friends dragging me to a movie theater to watch the movie.
My mind wasn’t just broadened, it was split right open.
I agree about champloo as well, I’ve rewatched shampoo a couple times now and have been musing over rewatching it again because it’s been a couple years.
They’re both amazing.
One Punch Man as a deconstruction of an entire genre and dissection what occurs after the achieving power storyline common in so many shows.
One punch man is super interesting to me. It takes the shounen genre and turns it on its head. How can the main character possibly improve, when they are already the strongest in the whole universe? Well, turns out raw strength is not all that matters. And OPM is a funny way of looking at this conundrum our society has prepared for young men. Definitely one of my favorites as well.
OPM is so refreshing. In other animes, it’s stressful to watch sometimes even though you know the main character is going win in the end but with OPM, it’s a fun ride the whole way through.
I felt like it was this at first, but eventually it becomes more of your standard Shounen “which guy is strongest? Find out next week” sort of affair. All the side characters and filler really distracted from the point of the show for me. More than just providing context and justification for the main plot, it took away from it IMO.
Easy, Frieren.
I’m in the middle of the mage exam arc and right now I’m severely disappointed with it. I know people tend to say this arc is the worst in the series, but it’s really starting to wear on me. Hoping it gets better.
Much less popular than most: Trigun Check it out and thank me later.
Trigun is a fucking classic. I need to start Trigun Stampede and see how that is… I’m skeptical, but it deserves a shot.
It’s an easy watch. Personalities are a bit different, but overall about average.
Probably Cowboy Bebop.
I liked S1 of Darker Than Black but S2 was very meh.
I would recommend Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Madoka Magica, as well as Planetes if you’re into sci-fi. Girls Und Panzer is super fun as well.
Elfen Lied
Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex
But then I’m a sucker for cyberpunk.
Serial Experiments Lain is also great anime cyberpunk.
Dragonball: if you’re a millennial you either unironically tried to shoot a KameHameHa once or you’re lying
Fusion dancer checking in.
Tried with my besties but his power level was much higher than mine and didn’t work
Dr. Stone. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re into STEM, it’s probably the closest you’ll get to media accurately portraying science and technology.
It also puts into perspective just how much knowledge, expertise, and experience went into basically everything that we take for granted today. Makes you at least a bit hopeful for the future of humanity
Dr Stone had some really great moments and I enjoyed it greatly. I finished the manga, and I’ll say at some point most of the science kinda goes out the window as far as them explaining stuff, and people seemed split on if they liked or hated the ending. Was good overall, but kind of lost some of the charm for me when they started building modern tech.
The biggest tragedy of the anime vs the Manga is the art. Boichii is fucking world renowned for how he draws anatomy and it’s a huge focal point in his works and they just missed the whole mark there. Reminds me of how they fucked up junji itos works too. If anyone is interested in actual good low budget animations check out komicant communicate, they do so much with so little that you don’t realize it’s lower budget.
Always looked forward to the color cover art of his! I’ll have to read more Junji Ito. Someone just the other week informed me of Enigma of Amigara Fault and I really liked that.
Komi is on my list, but my brain always confuses it with Aharen-san Is Indecipherable, which I’ve already seen.
Having watched anime from the 80s on, the low quality stuff nowadays I typically don’t notice. As long as the stories are good and the voices aren’t terrible, that’s pretty much all I need.
I don’t usually mind the low quality stuff but it irks me when the art is absolutely amazing and adds to the panels only to get butchered by cheapskate companies adapting it terribly. It’s a tragedy for junji ito cause those ten hours of etching the shadows in any given page do actually matter to add to the horror and the feeling of wrongness. Only to be spit on by shit executives not giving a fuck and just having the animators use a fucking paint bucket to shadow.
Look at this image. The right side is a demon who you wouldn’t wanna meet and the left is just a granny with bad ache.
True, but it is the manga that’s the artists’ work. Anime is (usually) an adaptation by someone else. I always appreciate when they put in similar effort, but I’m appreciative when they just adapt things faithfully. Looking at you, Promised Neverland!
Golden Kamuy is a meme with the bad CG animations that sometimes get put in. The bear is the famous one that looks like a cut n paste hack job.
But it is what it is. For action orientated anime especially, I’m just happy they get animated so I can follow the action better. My brain can fill in the missing bits.
I’m conflicted when it comes to mine so I’m just going to throw a few out. It’d take me forever to make a definite choice:
- Code Geass: Ridiculous plot and Lelouch is such a well written character
- Initial D: I love cars, the soundtrack, and the added dynamic of relationships on top of racing and dreams.
- FLCL: Soundtrack, animation, and how it makes 0 sense as a plot device
- Vinland Saga: Season 2 (and the Vinland Arc in the manga)
- Samurai Champloo: I like hip-hop, cool samurai, and long journeys. The ending was one of my favorites in any anime because of how simple it was
Gotta be the first half of Death Note, before that one guy dies, trying not to spoil it lol but if you know you know
Same
yup, I just saw till death of L. I haven’t finished Death Note.
Steins:Gate - best Story
OPM S1 - most hype animations ive seen in any anime
Grand Blue - Absolutely hilarious comedy
