I have meant to do this a while ago since I was sick of seeing all the random threads popping up with regard to "suggest me an anime!?!" so I'll take the time to write up a decent opening post explaining the purpose of this thread and how to go about using it.

Just so that this doesn't turn into a complete spam-fest of people saying stuff along the lines of, "Watch [insert anime title] because I think it's good!"
We shall run through a few things to keep this nice and civilised without the likelihood of this turning into a chat room just between one to three people, as I've noticed has turned into a trend lately...

If you are after an anime suggestion pop in a few things like:
  1. The genre of anime you want to watch; in saying this it isn't a necessity but it makes it easier for people to offer suggestions.
  2. Give examples of similar anime you may have seen. If you have a MyAnimeList or Anime Database (anidb) account with a few titles of what you've seen already this comes to be a lot easier.
  3. A brief description of what kind of anime you wish to see.
    e.g. I want to see something not unique and unlike most anime that is released lately.
  4. Ask for a few suggestions at a time that way you will have a decent backlog of anime to trawl through whenever you finish off one particular title and then can move onto the next.
With this out of the way we move on to the part of offering suggestions to particular users which is simpler if you do something that includes:
  1. Try to break up certain aspects of your suggestion list by grouping similar anime together or, if they're after multiple genre requests, group them into their respective labels.
    Some people prefer being able to organise their plan-to-watch lists by watching one genre type at a time.
  2. Possibly give your own short take on the anime titles which doesn't have to be much, even a few words is better than nothing at all.
  3. Take into consideration of which anime they've listed as already seen or the comparative title they're after.
  4. Offer a few anime titles at a time, even if they are the OVA of the same named anime title as most people might skip OVA, OAD or movies since they didn't know about them.
Just use these as an idea of what you should consider to help another person figure out which anime they may want to see if you're suggesting to them.

That's about it, enjoy making requests and/or suggestions as there is quite a few anime lovers out there who would love to offer their opinions on what anime people might not have seen or known about which are priceless or just simply skipped out completely due to mainstream titles, myself included.


Since common sense doesn't seem to apply to people; going to add this as a permanent rule which must be adhered to otherwise your post will be removed, no questions asked.
  1. Do not link, discuss or 'recommend' any hentai title, ever.
I suggest you barakamon, its about a guy that wants to be an important celebrity of the guys that write ancient kanji´s, then to get some inspiration he goes to an island, where he meet some people, the anime its about comedy,but its very good...

Hello, I'm specxtical and i've been an anime weeb for some time and I want to start watching anime once again. I like animes that is aesthetic such as your name(kimi no na wa), weathering with you, daring of franxx and demon slayer. I've watched tones of nothing animes, but i just can't remember them top of my head. If you have suggestions for me, please reply or pm me.

(I also like slice of life animes)

Thanks, specxtical

Henloooo anime guys & gals!

Sooooo...
I'm going to meet up with some of my friends from my old school days and since it's been so long we decided to maybe watch an anime or so. Big question: which one?

Since we just wanna have a good time there is no real bar in terms of production quality. Best would be something which has either a fair amount of funny moments or is just so bad that it turns out to be involuntarily funny. Something one can bullshit about. It'd be cool if there'd be an actual plot the series follows and develops instead of an episodical format, but that's no major criterion.
Genre doens't really matter. Though a serious, psychological thriller and the likes wouldn't fit the bill.
Since we plan to bingewatch a shorter series would be much appreciated (<=13 episodes). Plus, we absolutely aren't up to date with the productions of the last few years so something since 2017 would be perfect (except Kaguya, 'cause we've already watched that one). But again, no major point in deciding.

Back then we watched things like Sakamoto, Dog Days, Index / Railgun, Oreimo, Acchi Kocchi, Koichoco and Fate/Stay Night with its glorious CGI cars (Deen adaptation) for such occasions.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Except ones with certain "adult" themes. We've already settled on that one. Haha... (dead inside)

do you guys have something like ERASED but with a good ending? would love that
YuumiMaster
I recommend an anime called Steins Gate, it has a good plot and it catches you instantly, if by a good ending you mean that it leaves you satisfied, this is fine, but if you mean something that ends well, and with the problems solved , I recommend Shinsekai yori, it has a plot that moves slowly, but it rewards it by building a complex story about human darkness, tension and violence.

em2 is officially slowly turning into a weeb

Anyway so I have been thinking of checking out some anime series's on my own considering recent thoughts building upon them and that I have wanted to try out new things for this year, so I suppose this could be interesting.

So anyway, does anyone know any animes which I could possibly get into? I'm not sure what my preferences for the genres would be but I would be into trying different genres here and there as long as the plot for the anime is well constructed with deep lore as those sort of series's seem to catch my interest as of late (Think series's like "Squid Game" for example, even though that's not anime). Someone earlier suggested for me to watch Blue Exorcist and I checked out the first three episodes in the first season and I think it's pretty cool so far, so I think I could check out more animes like it or different genres with constructed lore like I had mentioned earlier – I suppose I shall wait for the suggestions to roll in now, thanks!

oh yea btw i only have netflix so if other platforms for anime are more convenient to use then id be interested in hearing some of them too if possible

Netflix and crunchyroll are pretty much the rulers of anime streaming platforms internationally.
I'm not sure what platforms are on U.K.

Also, I would recommend something like HxH or FMA of the sort. Aren't you the same guy who was against the idea of calling Shelter an anime?
epic man 2
i dont even remember that lol but yea i didnt consider shelter as an anime because it was mainly an animated music video under a style that seems like an anime for a good song

also wait what is fma just full-metal alchemist or something since i know that hxh is hunter x hunter

Asphiee
Kingdom series
xxxHolic series
Cencoroll
Ani ni Tsukeru Kusuri wa Nai
Vampire in the Garden
Uramichi Oniisan
Mugen no Juunin: Immortal

Not in any order. Will not rate it so it won’t affect your enjoyment.

Didn’t include the mainstream one since you may have watched it already.

chainsaw-man is a good anime!!!
Stomiks
Watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners guys
TheAngryNerd101
Watch Somali & The Forest Spirit. Genuinely great little show with an expansive world reminiscent to that of children's fairy tales and a captivating story with heavy themes and a few tear-jerker moments that actually manage to hit. A good although not too spectacular cast of characters (great titular characters with an adorable father-daughter relationship though), great OST and OP and ED songs, and some gorgeous visuals. Just great all around.
Jangsoodlor
bocchi the rock

Steins gate (pretty heavy story)
Shinsekai Yori (really HEAVY story with even more dystopian setting)
Kaguya-sama (good romcom with even better ed song)
Nisekoi (waifu war. Onodera best girl.)
Girls und Panzer (Cute girls riding historically accurate tanks. What could go wrong.)
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (Quite cringe. but if you're into stratergy/planning game (HoI/EU/Civ kind of stuffs) or you're into politics, you may enjoy watching this)

other than that, if you have enough spare time, Monogatari Series. That's definitely something else.

I really dislike Another, it has nothing special and the plot is so predictable.

spoiler
Also, none of the characters that died were relevant whatsoever to the plot, one didn't notice they existed till they died as none of them did anything before. There are just like 4 relevant characters overall and the rest of the class literally does not matter other than to be killed in a random way à la final destination.
