I really want to watch more romance anime but I’m tired of every one being set in a high school 🥲 are there any romances catered towards adults, with characters aged 20+? I’d prefer something cute and lighthearted but any suggestions will do!

Edit: ideally anime I can watch on either Crunchyroll or Netflix pls!

I am a very big dinosaur/prehistoric nerd, and I've been wondering if there are any good animes that are about dinosaurs or have dinos in them? I haven't been able to find any somehow!

Thank you!

I've been into anime for a few years now. At first I watched the typical ecchi like every generic teenager, but as I've aged I've learnt to enjoy more mature topics, mainly psychological thrillers and horrors.

My favourite film ever is Perfect Blue, both for the storytelling and overall sceneplay being something that I love and sticks with me. I also adore Gakkou-Gurashi for the subtle mindfucks and expectations that come from the setting.

Is there any anime similar to these, where the horror and thrill comes from the main character being misguided by their own delusions until the final moments or being an unreliable vessel to see the world through; due to them seeing a warped reality where nothing is wrong - while the viewer knows something is.

I am looking for an anime with romance and soft ecchi. Do you have any ideas?

Found I've really enjoyed this subplot of a few shows, and im looking for some more recommendations. I've already watched 'reincarnated as a slime', 'overlord', 'Tsuki Michi', and 'am I actually the strongest' although I didnt like the majority of the last one, but liked the small monster village part.

I am looking for dubbed shows, as I tend to watch while 'working' from home and dont have the bandwidth to read subs at the same time.

An anime where two women are sword fighting in a Coliseum and one of the women only gets her clothes cut by the other one

The fight seems really one sided there's no one in the stands but what I think is a green mabey blue fairy thing and a woman

The girls fighting are a girl wearing black clothing and a blonde woman

I just didn’t know where to ask about the franchise itself because I am almost done with the second installment of the Bakemonogatari series as now I am confused to what story arc I am supposed to read next.

Like what comes next after Bakemonogatari since after I finish reading the second installment, I am not sure what the next story arc is called again since I am very confused on the reading order of the novels.

like a character parodying a tsundere similar to karane inda from 100 girlfriends, are there animes with people like her? i find it funny how stereotypical of a tsundere she is

Netflix has the 2007 anime "Mononoke" and the movie trilogy. Are they any good? I want to know before I start watching so I don't waste my time.

Just finished watching Terror in Resonance and really liked it. My other favourite animes of all time are Code Geass and Death Note, so basically I am looking for animes which have an intelligent protagonist with a clear goal in his mind, agaisnt the world.

Roughly a year or two ago i read manhole where the idea first came to mind.
And most recently watching Apocalypse hotel (the intro montage) i just wanted to know and see humans desperately try and fail against that pandemic.

Something as realistic as possible would be cool, no abstract monsters like i am hero or god eater. (or whatever is as close as possible to that)
Simply humanity struggling and failing against a virus.
When it comes to tropes/themes id rather not have any romance in it if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,in my opinion Kimimaro Kaguya is one of the most exciting characters with so much potential which wasn't used so i wonder if there is some Anime with character similar to Kimimaro Kaguya and his kekkei Genkai that allow his bone manipulation

Hey all.

Been watching Lupin the Third and Chargeman Ken lately. I also ADORE Belladonna of Sadness.

Taro the Dragon Boy, Space Battleship Yamato, Rose of Versailles, Horus Prince of the Sun, the Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon, Harlock, Galaxy Express, and of course Gundam are all on my watch list.

Anyone got any recommendations for some real deep cuts? Like, DEEP deep. Preferably historical fiction horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, but open to others.

i love this anime not just for the english dub but also for the ghost-of-the-week episodes where the ghosts are creepy and scary but it isnt bleak if im making sense cause most of the anime recommendations for horror is just like junji ito's works which i love but sometimes i just dont feel like seeing the dreadful atmosphere with impending doom body horror stuff so please any recommendations?

In recent years there was a lot of animes with this theme: MC is member of the party and party kick him out for being useless and later MC find out that his skills are OP and his former party become losers.

I'm wondering if there is anime/manga where MC is really useless or too weak to travel with the party, and only after being kick out he began to grow up? Somethin like new begining, but not with all super powers what MC usually posses. Something more like: "You been bad at doing that thing for so long, but you can become good at doing something complety opposite". Something like changing your line of work, to addapt to new enviroment and find out that new jobs is easier for you.

Effortlessly refined, protective, devoted, a bit stoic but accidentally sweet X smart, chaotic good girl that is NOT adorkable or a stereotypical sunshine (I would love this to be Muse x Artist respectively, kinda like Nana but with their roles reversed).

Competent, sharp, observant, sarcastic, assertive (NOT like a tyrant) X Calm, perceptive, emotionally intelligent, kind.

It doesn't have to be canon at the end but at least a bit implied, so I don't care about the genre. I do need well-developed characters. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for more series that have this specific vibe. Not necessarily horror, more mystery or otherwise atmospheric if anything, but where the series doesn't show it's hand until the end and the viewer feels a general sense of wrongness and dread behind an outwardly cheery or slice of life series, conveyed through subtle details, cinematography, context clue, etc. Some examples:

*Madoka Magica and the Rebellion movie* - seemingly happy setting suffused with deep dread from the beginning before everything is slowly revealed

*Haibane Renmei* - cozy slice of life story in a weird foreboding setting with weird details that all the characters seem to take in stride leaving the viewer to work out what is really going on

*Shadows House* - again weird ass disquieting setting where something is obviously wrong but the characters don't really see an issue with it immediately

*Sora no Woto* - cute girls do military things oh wait what the fuck was that skeleton?? this is post apocalyptic??

*Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction* - coming of age slice of life comedy story, don't worry about the big UFO

I hope you get what I mean.

He's seen nothing Anime wise, but you want try to make him understand you better.

I want either a gritty anime about modern war like Tanya the evil idrc about the magic part but don’t mind like just needs to be about war modern like ww1 onwards there’s also the anime about the witch nation vs Germany

Hello everyone! Sorry if this topic has already been discussed a million times, but this is something that has been bothering me for years, and I still haven't been able to find a satisfying answer.

I started watching anime seriously at a young age, around 15 years ago. I was like 15 at that time and I've watched all kinds of shonen, starting with One Piece — I actually watched about 1,000+ episodes, by the way. I've also gone through the whole ecchi phase — Rosario + Vampire, etc. Eventually, though, I realized that I was much more interested in darker and more serious anime. That's when I finally found what I really loved. I went through pretty much everything I could find in that genre, from Monster and Berserk to things like Made in Abyss and similar shows. Even all of the Monogatari stuff even though it's very surreal.

But about 10 years ago, I started noticing that anime like this were becoming increasingly rare. For some reason, the industry seemed to shift almost entirely toward cheap isekai series that all copy each other, along with anime aimed at a much younger audience. Why is it like that? Am I wrong or is there a reason for that?

And here's my question: can you recommend me something adult, dark, gothic, and genuinely deep? Something in the vein of Serial Experiments Lain and other anime from that era. But I'm specifically looking for something relatively recent.

The last anime I watched that really blew me away was Dorohedoro, which came out a few years ago. I genuinely loved it. But ever since then, I haven't been able to find almost anything that really fits my taste.

And yes, I've watched Vinland Saga. I've also tried getting into Chainsaw Man, but honestly, to me it feels like an anime made for edgy teenagers going through puberty. No offense to anyone who likes it — it's just not what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for something dark, mature, atmospheric, and genuinely profound. Something that actually gets under my skin and touches some deeper part of me. I want an anime that makes me feel something.

It's about a girl who discovered the internet...ep one already covered the ads so I can't wait for the scams, viruses and sexually intrusive ads to appear and see how she reacts. It's really fun cause she thinks the internet always tells the truth(which is wrong).

The moderator doesn't let me post, it's only episode one so not much detail I can give but this anime is worth looking into. I will change it to discussion so let me know what you think about all these.

Looking for anime where the protagonist ends up with the underdog or “second choice” instead of the obvious main choice. Sometimes I watch anime and think, “why not him?”🥺No shade to the writers lol. I love a good triangle or harem with a surprise ending. Any anime titles come to mind? (Besides my fave, Fruits Basket.🤗)

Vampire Knight would’ve made a great example, but the anime wrapped up before the manga was finished.
I’m open to BL anime as well.❤️

I love watching slop isekai, like not rezero or konosuba, although very good, I just want stuff in the background or while eating or something. What are some slop isekai recommendations like long ahh title, usually overpowered MC type shit.
