Re: "Anime Recommendations"

In: s/Anime

Thought of a few I overlooked in my earlier post.

For older stuff, try the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō OVAs. The manga is better, or rather, more complete. It is being officially published in English as of earlier this year, by Seven Seas Entetrainment. Rejoice!

Another more recent series I quite enjoyed was ReLIFE. It has a slightly "out there" plot for my tastes (though it's absolutely tame by modern day standards), but its actually very well done.

If you're interested in yuru camp may I suggest some of my favourite slice of life anime: hidamari sketch, tamayura, gochiusa and sketchbook full colors. Warning these may not be too deep in the "show about nothing" level for beginners.

Te puedo recomendar Spice and Wolf, Serial experiments Lain también es interesante

- Dennou Coil (because you like Lain)

- Last Exile

- Haibane Renmei

People here had quite a few interesting recommendations already, thank you all! If you enjoy deeper and a bit more abstract anime I'd personally suggest:

• Tatami Galaxy (+ "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl" and "Tatami Time Machine Blues" as sequels)
• Sonny boy
• Madoka Magica (+ Rebellion movie)

🐙 silica · 2025-07-21 at 05:59:

• Violet Evergarden (2018)
• Your lie in April (2014)
• Angle Beats (2010)
• The Place Promise in Our Early Days (2004)

+1 for the YKK manga! It's pretty damn good!

Also, I'm not sure anyone mentioned the following:

• Witch Watch
• Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department
• Barakamon

I've found these two pretty soothing in the same way as Dragon Maid

Edit: wow, just realized the extent of my necroposting

👻 iiogama [OP] · Dec 21 at 17:51:

I so very much appreciate that I am still getting anime recommendations from this thread. I have bookmarked everything recommended and while I doubt I will get to them all, I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have watched. As far as I am concerned, necropost away!

🚀 Pav · Dec 21 at 23:30:

@iiogama didn't expect a reply :)

Also watch 86. It's gut-wrenchingly good, and you'll be all the happier for Barakamon and Witch Watch after it

Edit: Oh! And Dungeon Meshi!

Edit Edit: ... and Undead Unluck... So I'm a spider so what...

I'm running on 4 hours of sleep and I can't remember s**t

Edit Edit Edit: Sakamoto Days!
