I used to watch anime a lot when i was around 15 or 16 and i watched a lot when i was younger but it was in a crappy 4kids dub ofc.
my top fave animes are:
-clannad/clannad afterstory (do not watch this if you do not want to cry)
-angel beats
-kobato
i've seen many others but never actually finished them such as sonic x (the jap sub), tokyo mew mew, sailor moon (i didnt get too far in..) and a few others i can't remember. i usually tend to watch them in binges and then stop for a while oops.
Anime Thread
For those of you who liked the romance aspect of YOI but wished they had focused on/developed the relationship a bit more, I seriously recommend watching the film Doukyuusei (Classmates in English). Here's the MAL link: https://myanimelist.net/anime/30346/Doukyuusei_Movie
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of BL/Yaoi/Shounen-Ai anime because of the heavy focus on sex and problematic/cringy tropes that always show up in the relationships. This film is the first in this genre (at least that I've seen) that manages to avoid all of this and instead shows a healthy and realistic relationship between two guys. I was seriously amazed by how real it was...it seemed to perfectly capture the innocence and awkwardness of a high school relationship. I also loved that the film didn't put a ton of focus on/create drama over the fact that the characters were gay (unlike pretty much all other yaoi anime), and instead the obstacles they faced were ones that any other high school couple would.
The characters have such a great dynamic and compliment one another really well. They were so endearing to watch together that I swear my heart had melted into a puddle by the end of the film Also, the animation is beautiful and has a style that's fairly different than what I've seen before.
Unfortunately, I don't think it's available on any legal streaming sites. Kissanime has it, though.
Seriously, I can't recommend this enough. I'm shocked that more people don't talk about it. It's just so cute. If you need any more convincing, have this adorable gif:

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I watched it and I related and I loved it. This was everything, really cute romance and accurate description of teenage romance drama. All along with a cute art and lovable characters.ohgod wrote:For those of you who liked the romance aspect of YOI but wished they had focused on/developed the relationship a bit more, I seriously recommend watching the film Doukyuusei (Classmates in English).

Yay, I'm glad you guys liked it too! There's a manga too, and a sequel to the manga that basically picks up right where the movie/first manga left off. The sequel is AMAZING and I highly recommend checking it out, it's called Sotsugyousei and is available online if you look it up on google!

...Once Midterms are over, I'll try watching (and reading) all the recs here!
I'm putting all my recs under a spoiler because it's too damn long.
Well, there's that. Now, I need to go back and be a part of life again.

Thank you for those recs I remember loving the heck out of Another, if just for the... creative ways to die and the creepy dolls. (And of course the main girl )CallMeAyana wrote:...Once Midterms are over, I'll try watching (and reading) all the recs here!

I kind of started Apocalypse no Toride but dropped it after two or three chapters. Might get back to it on crunchy.
Feel free to recommend more!
Just by the way, I finished the Evangelion Rebuild movies few days ago (after i had few months to recover from the anime and EoE) so if anyone is up for discussing that with me, I'd be glad because there are still many things i find confusing. And I don't really want to dive into the reddit sphere or "Shinji is straight you doof"
Looking back at this thread at my post about the Victuuri kiss makes me smile. I was so unsuspecting then, good times.
It's just a shame that YoI has become so overhyped, though. It's good, but it really dropped the ball on a lot of aspects that are being overlooked now because "canon homo". Because of that, I've seen a lot of people shitting on the show unnecessarily.
Some onions: my Fall AOTS was definitely Flip Flappers, such a shame that anime was slept on. :[ Overall, I'd say that Mob Psycho was the best anime of 2016.
Anyway, this post resurrected me:

Another really is great! Also, the opening? It gives me the chills - the part where the elevator opens, and there's a shadow as if someone is standing inside the elevator when no one is standing there, the coffin with a hand sticking out of it and before the scene finishes, it moves, and the part where it's a close-up shot of Mei's doll eye, and after the third blink, the reflection on her eye is of... a really creepy woman. It just gives me the chills.PolarFox wrote:Thank you for those recs I remember loving the heck out of Another, if just for the... creative ways to die and the creepy dolls.

Also, I just learnt that Apocalypse no Toride was discontinued (or something, I'm not exactly sure), so...
I would also like to recommend more since I've watched tons of anime and read tons of manga/manhwa, but sadly... I've forgotten most of it
Also... TG:RE is so awesome. Ohmygods. Saiko is awesome. I love her because she's so awesome. Gods.

A few years ago I watched anime but somehow I've stopped that. I don't know why but I just didn't feel like watching them and I lost interest. (I should start watching anime again)
I really liked Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Noragami, No Game No Life and Wolf's Rain back then
Does anyone know Owari no Seraph? That's one of my favourites and I love it so much!

I shipped the hell out of MikaYuu I read the first 30-40 chapters (I think?) and remember that they slightly changed things in the anime. No big plot stuff but some character scenes were missing and (as mostly usual) the manga goes much deeper than the anime.PolarFox wrote: I do!

Me too! I was at first a bit uh on MikaYuu but then I flew to the trashcan too.

By the way, how many of you guys are hyped for the new Attack on Titan season? After so many years... I'm waiting for some of my favourite scenes to be animated and fearing change of some like the no-homo of a few Armin x Eren scenes in season one
I am also wondering where it's going to cut off.
And thirdly, 3 new movies of Free! have been announced!
First one, due in April, is to be about the iwatobi club, mix of anime scenes and new ones
Second one, due in July, is to be about the samezuka school again mix of anime and new
And the third one, due in fall, is a brand new Free! movie about Haru's college life, afaik
As Free! is my guilty pleasure anime and MakoHaru is only below EreMin in my all time anime OTP's, I am feeling intense mixed feelings about this. High Speed, althought quite bad, still made me feel extremely giddy and happy, even if it was for the Makoto and Haru story. So for Free! to be revived and milked once again I am both and because the sory itself is quite complete and well. Over the years both parts of the fandom created their own headcanons on RinHaru or MakoHaru or any of the ships and for a new movies to come in and settle The Ending Discourse TM? Ehhh... not sure if I wanna know. What do you think?
I didn't read the SnK manga (I have only watched the anime ) so I can't assess that but concerning Owari no Seraph there is no big quality gap between the manga and the anime. Sure, the fighting scenes are better in the anime but as said the manga covers things like the relationships and characters in general better. I recommend it to you if you loved the story (and it seems like you do, so you should read it )PolarFox wrote:Me too! I was at first a bit uh on MikaYuu but then I flew to the trashcan too.

Oh yep, that's exactly it. The depth of characters and story. Totally gonna read the manga. See, SnK has much better fighting scenes in the anime (although I'm sad the scene whenMoon wrote: I didn't read the SnK manga (I have only watched the anime ) so I can't assess that but concerning Owari no Seraph there is no big quality gap between the manga and the anime.
