Not gonna gatekeep, post what you want, but I'd especially appreciate if you can post some titles that have truly fallen into obscurity. Stuff that wasn't on adult swim.

Dragon Quest Albel: Shounen anime from the Dragon Ball creator that does a lot that you don't expect shounen to do. Women have a lot more agency and are quite clever, death actually means something, and a lot of people that work for the main villain aren't pure evil, and can be reasoned with.

assemble insert: 2 episode OVA I don't how to describe this, it's very different. I do recommend just watching the first episode though.

Be-Bop-High School: 7 episode Guilty pleasure Edgelord OVA anime that feels like a combo of a Tarantino Movie, and the Yakuza games about high school delinquients. Warning: Very of its time.

Heart Colored Kill Ticket: This high schooler with a capybara gets suspended for defending another student from builles so she decides to go out of town, and gets involved in a murder mystery.

The Curse of Kazuo Umezu: 43 minute horror psychological horror anthology ova. I don't know how to explain it without going into spoilers, but it's one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Some other titles that I've heard is good that I want to check out:

Record Of Lodoss War

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water

Cyber City Oedo 808

Tell me about Isekai mc who becomes immortal or God from light novel series?

I was on a random video call and met him there we have a lot in common about so many things, and he told me to watch Black Clover. Should I watch it? Also, can you suggest where to watch it? A lot of sites are banned in my country.

Suggestion please....

PS:- I met him on Vooz

I have been wandering are people checking out totally new anime that started this spring i started a couple but there not good as there trailer, so can a good soul save me the trouble 😅

These are the thoughts my friend and I discussed for like a month. This theory maybe isn't perfect or have so many plotholes. Read and drop your opinions in this....

The Primordial Era: The First World and the Seven Deity's

In the beginning, Devil Fruits did not exist. Instead, the world was shaped by pure imagination, manifesting as seven primordial entities known as the Seven Gods.

The 7 entities

Sun God (Nika)

Forest God

Earth God

Rain God

(The Four Major Gods)

War God

Sea God

Demon/Death God

These seven deities pooled their essences to create the Mother Flame—an infinite energy source meant to ensure eternal peace and equality. However, the Demon God, consumed by greed, sought to weaponize the Flame to rule alone.

By manipulating the other deities, the Demon God triggered a celestial civil war. The resulting clash—specifically between the Sea God and the Rain God—triggered a Great Flood that submerged the "First World." As a final curse upon the world, the sea itself became hostile to those who wielded these divine powers, stripping them of their ability to swim. Upon their deaths, the souls of these Gods didn't vanish; they lingered within their remains, waiting to be reborn.

The Second World: The Age of Davy Jones and the Moon

As the floodwaters stabilized, the "Second World" emerged, ruled by the legendary Davy Jones. He led the survivors and guarded the remaining Mother Flame. During this era, the world was largely uninhabitable—a vast, empty ocean.

Meanwhile, on the Moon, the Lunarians had reached the peak of technological advancement but lacked a sustainable energy source. This led to an ideological schism.

Joyboy : A leader of the Moon race who sought to collaborate with Earth to share the Mother Flame.

Imu : A high-ranking Lunarian who viewed Earth as a territory to be conquered, not partnered with.

Joyboy descended to Earth to strike a deal with Davy

Jones : the Lunarians would use their advanced technology to build a "New World" (the current geography of One Piece) in exchange for a portion of the Mother Flame.

The Possession and the Great Betrayal

The tragedy began with Imu’s jealousy. When Davy Jones insisted that Imu and his followers vacate the Red Line to make room for the new world order, Imu felt humiliated. This vulnerability allowed the lingering spirit of the Demon God to possess Imu.

The Power Split: Haki vs Maki

In this era, power was divided into two spiritual forces:

Haki (Willpower): The "Divine" energy, peaking in Divine Conqueror’s Haki.

Maki (Demonic Intent): A dark, corrosive energy born from the Demon God's influence.

Imu (possessed by the Demon God) manipulated the 20 Kings, leading to the betrayal of Joyboy. As Joyboy fell, his "Will" and the souls of the other fallen Gods manifested into physical form for the first time-creating the Original Devil Fruits.

The Legacy: The Will of D and the Bloodlines

The Meaning of "D"

The "Will of D" represents the Shape of the Half-Moon. It symbolizes a Union of Two Worlds:

D = Half Moon.

The D. Clan are the descendants of the "Union" between the Moon Race (Lunarians) and the Earth Race. They are the "Half-Moons" who carry the genetic and spiritual potential to wield the Mother Flame.

The Reincarnation vs. The Lineage

Shanks : Likely the direct biological descendant of Joyboy (explaining his high-level Conqueror's Haki and the respect the Five Elders show him).

Luffy : The spiritual reincarnation. While Shanks carries the blood, Luffy carries the Nika Will. Their connection to the "Moon Race" is what allows their bodies to withstand the immense pressure of Gear 5 and the "Ancient Will."

The True Nature of Luffy’s Dream and the One Piece

Luffy’s "secret dream" is likely to throw a banquet that includes everyone in the world.

For this to happen, the social barriers, slavery, and geographic isolation of the world must end. Joyboy’s original goal wasn't just political; it was personal. He wanted the redemption of his childhood friend, Imu. Joyboy believed that by freeing Imu from the "Demon God’s" greed, he could free the entire world.

The Treasure at Laugh Tale

A legendary Bottle of Sake: Large enough for the whole world to share.

The Records of the First World: Proving that everyone was once equal. Roger and his crew laughed because the "treasure" to save the world is something as "foolish" and simple as party supplies. It’s a joyful solution to a 800-year-old tragedy.

The Serpent of the Red Line and Shyarly’s Prophecy

The Red Line is not just a geological formation; it is a living/mechanical serpent (The Ouroboros) created during the First World Wars to divide the seas. Imu currently controls this serpent, using it to maintain the world’s "Cage."

Two Paths to the Destruction of Fishman Island:

Madame Shyarly’s prophecy about Luffy destroying Fishman Island could happen in two ways:

The Heroic Path : Luffy destroys the Red Line (The Serpent) to create the "All Blue." Since Fishman Island is directly beneath the Red Line, it is collateral damage. The Fishmen then migrate to the surface using the Noah, fulfilling Joyboy's old promise.

The Deceptive Path : Catarina Devon, having touched Saturn (and potentially Luffy in the future), transforms into Luffy and attacks Fishman Island to frame him, sparking a final war between the Straw Hats and the world.

Imu’s Weakness: The Ope Ope no Mi and the "Heart" Theory

The mystery of Imu’s health—specifically the coughing of blood—points to a "flaw" in their immortality.

The Eternal Room

A previous user of the Ope Ope no Mi performed a ritual on Imu during the Void Century. However, instead of "Immortality," they might have performed a Perpetual "Room" that keeps Imu in a state of suspended de-aging. This explains the 5-billion-berry bounty on the fruit; it is the only thing that can maintain or "undo" Imu’s existence.

The Giant Straw Hat and the Stolen Heart

The Secret : Imu’s physical heart was removed using the Mes technique and is kept inside the Giant Straw Hat in the cold basement of Pangaea Castle.

The Consequence: Because their heart is external, Imu is physically weak and "leaks" life force (coughing blood).

The Endgame : The Five Elders and the Holy Knights are likely "tethered" to Imu’s life force. If the heart inside the frozen vault is destroyed, the entire power structure of the World Government collapses instantly.

Maybe all of this is wrong. Everyone drop your opinions and share theories related to this.

Most modern anime fans only think of Big 3 or dragon ball when they talk about influence, but we’ve reached a point where we’re slowly forgetting the one series that literally shaped the soul of Japan — Ashita no Joe.

Long before Goku, Naruto or luffy existed, Joe Yabuki was the voice of a generation. It wasn't just a boxing story, it was a cultural phenomenon that blurred the lines between fiction and reality.

The level of influence this show had is actually hard to wrap your head around today. In 1970, when Joe’s rival Rikiishi died in the story, over 700 people held a real life funeral for him in a Tokyo theater. They weren't just mourning a drawing, they were mourning a hero who represented their own struggles. That same year, when a plane was hijacked by the Red Army Faction, the hijackers final statement was "We are the Tomorrow's Joe" It became a symbol of revolution for the working class.

Even if you haven't watched it, you’ve definitely seen its DNA in your favorite shows. The cross counter, that iconic double hit climax we see in everything from Dragon Ball to Hajime no Ippo was popularized by Joe. But the biggest tribute is the white ash final frame. That image of Joe sitting in his corner, completely burnt out, has been referenced in hundreds of animes like Gintama, Gurren Lagann, and Bakemonogatari.

Whenever a mangaka wants to show a character giving their absolute everything, they pay homage to Joe Yabuki. He wasn't a chosen one with special powers, he was just a guy from the slums who fought until there was nothing left but white ash. In an era of aura and hype, it’s worth looking back at the series that gave modern Shonen its heart.
