I'm looking for a anime that's a comedy.
My fav anime is Hetalia so maybe something like that :3
I also don't want anything with gore or sexual content
Pure comedy or serious plot? I'm guessing it's the first. Here are few somewhat popular comedies.

  1. Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou - Comedy skits about boy teenagers
  2. Handa-kun - A loner who is always self-conscious
  3. Sakamoto desu ga? - cool
  4. Saekano - Meta jokes

    You could also watch Suzumiya Haruhi, Gintama, and The world god only knows, but they have serious plot.

If you go on MyAnimeList you can add your watched, watching, favourite, least favourite... manga/anime annd they suggest new ones for you. I have used this and it's really helpful (at spiraling you into a never ending whole of watching anime)!

Idk if you've watched any of these or not but i'll recommend you anyway, the genre are kinda similar too
  1. Seitokai Yakuindomo
  2. Noucome
  3. Seitokai no Ichizon
  4. D-frag
Justykanna
Not sure how much people check this thread considering some of the answers are months old. But I've asked here before with awesome results so I thought I'd ask for another suggestion.

This past season, I watched As The Moon, So Beautiful and I fell in love with it, despite the fact that I've never touched the genre before. Any suggestions for any anime that are similar? Romance is mainly the aim, probably looking around teen-early adult years - doesn't 'have' to be school related. This anime didn't have any real drama to it, but I'm not opposed to it if it's there.

Thanks in advance!

Romance Comedy School Anime, can someone recommend me good ones?
integerlimit
Has anyone suggested Inazuma Eleven ? Well it's an okay anime, but not too much of a spoiler but episode 1 to 21 is a bit cringy, but you have to watch it to understand it
Raiken-
I haven't watch any anime in awhile, I'm kind of interested to watch some of this season's anime.
Any recommendations? Every genre is ok, just suggest me a title and I'll search up on it by myself.
Thankies.

Oh, I'm kinda following Boruto only for now.

I think Lain is better for someone requesting that specific type of show not general 80's and 90's. You need the right mindset to appreciate it otherwise you may only get 'trippy nonsense' or 'pretentious bullshit' vibes from it.

Well, I don't know if this is the kind of romance you are looking for; and I don't know if you've watched it already. But I just finished the first season today, and I think it's a great anime overall. Pretty sad though, so get tissues if you never watched it yet! :P I don't watch romance anime that much, and I don't know if this is romance that much honestly. So I am sorry if you aren't looking for something like is >.<.

Clannad. It's mostly about school, teens going into adulthood and that type of stuff. (No spoilers, haha). There's two seasons, Clannad and Clannad: After life. There is also a movie! I only watched the first season, going into the second. Hopefully I helped a bit, lol. The anime is pretty funny as well, so that's a plus.

(I only really know this one, if there's more you want there is probably more in my bookmarks; though I don't think it is totally romance).

The Clannad movie is trash compared to the series, it is not worth the time. Also the second series although better no longer is set in school past the first third or so. Additionally it severely reduces the comedy and becomes more melodramatic in nature.

I'm Looking for a reverse harem (female main character, loved by tons of BOIs) and/or a reverse trap type of anime :) (action is fine, just not horror/ecchi)

Lowtagoras
So, I need a bunch of new material to watch since I'll may be cut off from the internet for a few months in the not so distant future. Around 10 (series) should do, probably.

MAL: https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Lowtagoras

I'm no real narrow minded person regarding genres, though gay romance and anime with young children as main target audience as well as near borderline ecchi-hentai stuff won't really do. It can also be lengthy as long as it's completed and doesn't end with a cliffhanger of doom. I do prefer series with an actual plot and storyline, but it isn't a must as long as the execution's done right. Last but not least, I know I miss some of the standard stuff such as Death Note, AoT and stuff, but please do not focus too heavily on them.

So yeah, I look forward to the incoming recommendations. Thanks in advance.
Green Platinum
How is your MAL supposed to help? You haven't rated anything
Lowtagoras
I created the list years after I started watching anime, so I was too lazy to rate anything tbh. Plus, it was originally intended to be a mere record of what I already watched. However, I've added ratings now.
Green Platinum
Well here's a collection of the stuff I tend to recommend maybe you'll find something of interest here.

Caput Mortuum
here's some that's not on your list

91 Days -> Mafia drama, guy seeking revenge
Arakawa Under the Bridge -> comedy romance about hobos
Bakemonogatari -> Supernatural romance, lots of talking
Beelzebub -> guy taking care of a baby. op mc, action comedy
Blood Lad -> Overpowered vampire. Comedy action
Classroom of the Elite -> overpowered mc that likes working behind the shadows. a bit edgy but still interesting
Death Note -> just watch it
Hai to Gensou no Grimgar -> isekai-type anime. except this time it's not comedy, but more of a drama
One Punch Man -> why haven't you seen this
Overlord -> transported to a game world. op mc, action harem
Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry -> Magical school harem-type anime like asterisk
Sankarea -> Necrophiliac who accidentally resurrected someone
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu -> comedy, annoying heroine but really likeable mc
Toradora -> drama romance
Yamada-kun to 7-ni no Majo -> delinquent that has a special power. comedy romance
Zankyou no Terror -> Psychological drama. MCs are terrorists
Zetsuen no Tempest -> Psychological drama. people trying to prevent world's end

Trimmed your list. The rest was just inferior stuff to other shows.
Lowtagoras
That's more than enough to choose from. Gonna stick with Bakemonogatari, Arakawa, So Ra No Wo To, Mawaru Penguindrum, Shiki, Toradora, Nodame Cantible, 91 Days, Phi Brain aaaaand maybe FMA for now.


So yeah, that case's closed. Thanks for the help you two 0/

How is Overlord inferior...? Literally the best anime ;w; 9/10 imo
Green Platinum
Log Horizon is superior as it actually thoroughly examines it's MMORPG mechanics and their implications. It also feels much more like a genuine fleshed out MMO.

I was wanting something with magical genres (or superpowers), school life and comedy.

You do not have to have a unique story and never seen before, just be funny with funny characters or with a different personality.

Something similar to Mahouka Koukou in Rettousei preferably does not focus on technology.

Stonadu :3

I need a suggestion. I really want a good action series with good backstories and stuff, like My Hero Academia. Please no stuff like Naruto where the fights take forever, they aren't bad, just kinda boring after awhile.

Good Backstories is weirdly specific.

Green Platinum wrote:

true. i guess just any shows like MHA.
Green Platinum
What aspect of MHA though? and how much Shounen anime have you seen? You aren't really providing any useful information in order to give a recommendation.

Okay, I'm bad at explaining. I should probably just listen to my friend and watch whatever the hell he says, regardless of what type of show it is. Thanks for trying.
Green Platinum
I don't know how you'd expect us to read you mind. Even the difference between wanting a superhero show and a shounen high-school show would yield different recommendations.
EneT
Wow ded thread

Anyways I'm looking for a classic Silmarillion-esque show if there is even any; cut the generic anime shit as much as possible; something similar to maybe... hmmm, He-Man maybe.

I don't think any anime really fits what I'm looking for or at least none from what I've bothered to search so I doubt I'll get a suggestion but I appreciate the help if I get any.
Green Platinum
Because of the dominance of Buddhism in Japan the cultural ideas featured within folklore and super-nature are fundamentally different from the west. If Mushishi or Mononoke aren't what you are looking for it is probably worth focusing on the western fantasy inspired anime that became popular throughout the mid 90's although classic Berserk is the only thing I know that has really stood the test of time.

Well, Everyone Had It's Own Taste Of Watching Anime
And Why I'd More Like School + Comedy, It's Because I Just Like Watching Them, So What's The Problem?
Green Platinum
Because a school setting doesn't contribute anything. Gintama and Mahoujin Guru Guru for example aren't any less funny because they aren't stuck in school I'd even say they are better for it since it allows a much broader scope for their comedy to cover. Gintama in particular here.

It's your job to make the case for it here. Just saying it's 10/10 shounen does nothing for me considering how often I have heard people claim that.
