I’m curious, what was the first anime series you ever watched?

I think a lot of us in my age demographic (29f) started out watching the likes of Pokémon, Avatar: The Last Airbender, maybe even some Ghibli films when we were younger. However, the first time I actually sat down and said I want to watch anime I was about 19 years old. Here’s a small list of the very first shows I watched in the order I watched them SOA season 1, Fairytail episodes 1-150ish, Rosario + Vampire, Gantz: O (also a movie), Deathnote (I’ve heard this is a starter for a lot of people), Seven Deadly Sins, Re:Zero, Hunter x Hunter, Cowboy Bebop, Toriko, AOT, Bonus: they’re movies too but around this time watching ‘Princess Mononoke’ in theaters followed by ‘Your Name’ when it came to dvd was absolutely life changing

Looking for anime with actual solid plot

Most ive watched starts with a decent goal but they always drift away to stuff like constant fights or some side stories or really predictable plot lines.

I liked made in abyss coz it had somewhat of what's gonna come next feeling but it never concluded properly and moved to multiple side stories during the main path.

Or one piece, I like it but most of the recent arcs in it are just constantly fighting bosses after bosses like they are finishing levels.

Am looking for something where it makes me feel curious about what's about to come, doesn't move too far from the plot, and actually has a decent conclusion to everything it set up.

Recommendations similar to Frieren

hey guys, i just finished watching season 2 of Frieren and loved it ! I would love to know if there are other anime’s that i could watch that are “similar”. To help, here are the points i loved and would like to see replicated in other animes and other genres :
- little to no fan service !! (this was so so refreshing as a woman watching anime)
- powerful women as well as simply having a lot of women who are not objects of desire/love interests
- a good mix of filler/adventure/combat. i actually enjoy filler so i don’t mind it too much

I lowkey need something that doesn’t only have 1 or 2 seasons that finish in a cliffhanger please i have suffered too much with Yona of the Dawn or Raven of the Inner Palace (both which i also enjoyed!!). It kills me inside when i see there’s only 1 season and it came out in 2012 🥲

thank you for your recommendations and would also love opinions on my opinions lol

Full Bracket


I do not have much to say today. It was far from as close as it was yesterday. We have one seeding upset with Duvet taking the L against the goated Domestic Girlfriend OP. This was expected on accumulated points throughout the tourney and historical contests, however!

It surprises me that the Domestic Girlfriend OP always does well, while a great song like Centimeter from RaGF can't even survive the first round!


If anyone has any additional questions or comments please let me know.

Don't forget to check out u/copperfield42 's playlists!

What are some of your favorite OPs that belong to an incredibly trash anime?

Highschool Anime involving a Planet? Alien?

I’ll cut to the chase, when I was younger and just got into anime (Early to Mid 2010s) I used to just watch anything that would come up which involved a lot of slop to mid anime. At the time I didn’t know we could track Anime we have seen aka MAL/Kitsu..

There is this one anime set in a Highschool and then it was suddenly attacked by a planet or aliens? All I can remember is the main character which was a guy chasing after a girl (there were multiple girls) and it involved another planet or dimension type thing.

I know what I described really doesn’t really help, but I think it’s unique enough to have someone recall it? That’s really all I can remember, I sometimes think about it randomly and have been trying to look through the internet for this anime since it’s become a fixation.

EDIT: I’ve been on MAL and I’m all the way back to the early 2000s and I can’t recognize it. Might be one of those that i just vividly remember but can’t figure out

Should I watch Chainsaw Man?

I've been wanting to start watching this anime for months, but I'm too hesitant. I'm VERY uncomfortable with sexual or suggestive heterosexual scenes, especially if the male character involved is cocky/not serious. From what I know, CSM has a lot of suggestive scenes and the main character (Denji) is quite horny, so I'm worried I might have problems watching it. However, I really like the character designs, so I'm in this state of hesitation. Should I watch it or is it better not to? People who have watched CSM, please help me (I don't mind spoilers so feel free).

Recommend me slice-of-life, romantic, chill animes

Hi, thanks for reading the post and hopefully helping me out. So I've been looking anime for about 14 years, watched many (like a LOOOT), but i've been mostly watching animes from the same genre which is shonen, sport, isekai, martials arts etc, you got it probably.

My problem is that, nowadays a lot of anime is just the same, 12 episodes, almost same story telling and yea, it got boring for me. I saw most of the animes that I wanted so i gave up on searching for good animes in this topic.

AND WE ARRIVED to the point of the post.

My friend watched a lot of anime as well but he was intrested in totally different things, like slice-of-life, romantic, comedy etc. I really want to get to love these genres as well since that would open up a whole new word and years of content for me. However, most of the animes just can't keep up my interest for long period. I dont know why, but there were only 3 that I can remember the name of, sakurasou no pet na kanojo, nisekoi, toradora. These were not only good but I actually really liked them. However many of the big names were just uninteresting for me. As for the comedy... yea... even worse experiences. Currently watching dandadan, its not bad so I think I will finish it but its nor the type of anime that forces me to watch it. Tried Gintama, but it was the same, was not bad but was not good enough to invest my time in it. I think its not that Im born like this, because there are animes thats not even comedy(or i'd say not mainly) and made me laugh a lot like mashle and there were many, even sports animes.

So based on the said things, please help me out and recommend me animes that will make me love the genre. You can ask further questions in the comments, i'd gladly answer them.
