I was just curious, I have seen LoGH(like myself)fans get stereotyped that they only watch intellectual and philosophical anime. It's somewhat true, I like deep, political drama but I also enjoy slice of life or action occasionally
What are your favourite anime, manga(or even Light Novel) other than Legend of the Galactic Heroes
It has been 2 years since I last watched any anime. I have seen most of the popular ones and I don't seem to be interested in most of the mainstream stuff now. What are some of the best underrated Anime to watch(preferably short but open to long shows if it's worth it)
My favourite anime are: Legend of the Galactic Heroes,Steins Gate,Monster, Gintama, Vinland Saga, Attack On Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion
​
For me,
In writing:
Yang>=Reinhard>Baku>Punpun>Gintoki(only watched till ep 200)>=Ken kaneki>Beatrice(only read till before ep 4)>Eren Jeager
In enjoyment/favouritism
Gintoki>=Baku>=Yang>Reinhard>Beatrice=Kaneki>=Eren Jeager>Punpun
Haven't read Ashita no joe.
(Btw I know Beatrice will rise up in my ranking a lot, this is just till ep 3 Beatrice)
I have a question regarding Umineko. I am currently in episode 3 . Yet I still can't quite understand the concept of purgatory. Is it another dimension? Is rokkenjinma an illusion? I tried switching over to the VN thinking that there will be answers but I still don't understand.
Am I supposed to understand it now or will it be answered later?
I have been thinking about reading some novels/Light Novels. I have narrowed it down to Crime And Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, or Garden of Sinners(LN)
Which one should I start with?
Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Gintama
Monogatari
Monster
Steins Gate
Vinland Saga
A Silent Voice
Baccano
Attack on Titan
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Terror in Resonance
Gurren Lagann
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Mob Psycho 100
One Piece

I actually have a question regarding Umineko. I tried playing the Visual Novel, but it's slow pacing is a bit too much for me. I am enjoying the story but honestly I don't have enough time to read the entire VN for 120+ hrs or so. I started the manga, now although I accept that the VN is a more immersive experience due to the fantastic voice acting and music, the manga is perfectly acceptable for me with its faster pacing and enjoyable art. Is the VN really that good that I have to play it?. I am currently in Episode 2, so shall I continue to read the manga or is it absolutely necessary to play the VN
Just completed Requiem for Innocence and it might be a hot take but I probably enjoyed it even more than the Base game. It's true that the plot wasn't as thrilling as THIFM but the characters and their dynamics hit me way harder.
Jacopo Bearzatti might be a top 3 character for me. His and Morganas Dynamic was mentioned in the the base game but the way they explore it here takes both the characters on another level. His rise to power through the revolution and then his eventual descent through paranoia was just perfectly executed. His parallels with Barnier was really great which I didn't expect. And the final conclusion of the whole VN was amazing.
One thing if I had to criticize about it would be Ceren. Her backstory just didn't make sense to me. Her Psychology is extremely wierd and I just couldn't understand what her point was.
Overall 9.7/10
Along with fata Morgana, both together are 10/10
(Only 10/10 I have given except for LotGH)
Is there any other VNs you would like to recommend other than Umineko and FMDM that is. Uminekos pacing was too slow for me, I would rather read the manga. As for FMDM I read it's 1st chapter and it is just too graphic and those scenes were pretty unnecessary imo.
I have heard Dies Irae is pretty good. I also thought about Cross Channel as I enjoy slice of life from time to time, but apparently it dosen't have any proper translation.
