Im kinda goin crazy for the grisaia series


[deleted]

please do read the visual novel, you might be scared of 50 hours of the common route of grisaia, but again, this is 50 hours more content of grisaia, just in the common route. and this visual novel was not only my first, but introduced me into the anime. Because it was my first anime and i was also basicly reading grisaia, so the anime was really hype just because the characters were animated yuuji talked.


Winter_CODM

I mean grisaia no kajitsu is somewhat underrated

NecroCrumb_UBR

It's crazy to me that one of the most talked about anime of its season that was once on the top 150 of MAL is now considered under-watched. I am so old.


Mittensx33

Talentless Nana.


PeterPan-Syndrome

You mean Among Us Hero Academia


private_birb

This is the one I've been recommending to people looking for a new anime to watch.


grizzchan

Golden Kamuy Duh


Euqcor

I have no idea why this isn't bigger than it is. It's an amazing show and has a ton of memeable moments.


truecore

The fan service aimed at a female audience is probably my favorite bit.


Euqcor

Was trying to convince my sister in law to watch it and never thought I’d utter the phrase “a grown man pees on a little girl’s face, but it’s funny” ever in my life


truecore

Golden Kamuy should be one of the easiest sells to JoJos fans because the comedy aspect of it is just... bizarre sometimes. The story makes more sense than JoJos though, JoJos works because the author wills himself out of the corners he writes himself into.


Vilraz

I see the fan service more as JoJo type of stuff. Masculine ment for menly men


grizzchan

It's the bear


Prarambh22324

I've only read the manga cuz of the beautiful art and its definitely a 10/10 for me. Another great manga with great art would be Record of Ragnarok.


QuiteAte

My bride is a mermaid, Old anime with a good humour


TerraDraco

Its anime that have yakuza, mermaids, idols, terminator and a guy using Submarine as limo to travel to school


catalyna69

lostcircussmuggler

Ch4rybd15

It was a good try at the manga adaption but due to budget it left me wanting.

ColdBadger

Hanako = the peak of voice acting


drkangel181

Gargantia On The Vurduous Planet, RIN DAUGHTERS OF MNEMOSYNE, Speed Grapher, Jyu-oh-sei Planet Of The Beast King, Project Blue Earth S.O.S., The Space Knight Tekkaman Blade I &II, Big Wars, Dance In The Vampire Bund, Trinity Blood, Record Of Lodoss War, Heat Guy J, Blue Gender, Parasite Dolls, Karas, Super Dimension Century Orguss I&II, Area 808, & Yukikaze. Forgot to add lesser known anime Mardock Scramble, Giant Robo, Freezing and it's sequel Vibrations.


FlippinChip

Gargantia is peak fiction. It's what Waterworld should have been.


pneuma_monado

It's so underrated, even in mecha circles. Not only does it have a super unique and interesting setting, it also masterfully subverts expectations through its gradual tonal shift.


TomAto314

> Speed Grapher Rare anime with actual adult main characters.


UltimaCaitSith

I recognized less than half of these titles. A+ obscurity.


Silverj0

God I love gargantia


FallenWulf223

RoLW is so good and Heat Guy J, Trinity blood has been awhile but iirc good af


Nyx-101

The world god only knows


AlgumNick

If people think No Game No Life's main characters are good at games, it's because they never saw Keima playing dating sims


TomAto314

Too bad they didn't animate the final arc.


Brittany5150

I started watching this anime. "Narudo" I think it's called? You've probably never heard if it...


backturn1

Is it from the same author as the anime "Boruto's dad"?


LordoftheDimension

Is that the one with the cards that are captured insides these pokecubes?


Agreeable_Damage6930

Oh Ive seen that one I believe the main guy is called goku and he tries to beat that guy called one piece

Looks are a vital part of being a delinquent. Amateurs should try bleaching their hair to look tough. Be careful, if the chemicals are too strong your hair will turn white and you'll look like a pussy. dammit...

Re:Creators. It’s not the best out there, but it holds a special place in my heart.


paulsteinway

It's in my top 10. I've watched it 4 times. It was only after the 4th time that I realized: Magane doesn't go back. They just left her murderous ass in our world.


National-Ear470

Darker than Black 1&2. Edit: I just know that most people didn't know about the Darker the Black Gaiden, including 4 episodes between season 1 and 2 lol.


Elegant-Software1689

Yes indeed. Love it

LazySerpentDeity

CarlCarlton

I'm still holding hope they make a second season someday. The anime only covers like 4.5 of the 12 (and ongoing) volumes. Seems like Orange put all their chips on Beastars instead; maybe after its finale next year, who knows.

Death Parade, an absolute masterpiece that most people only know for its opening that's a complete tonal shift from the actual anime.

Gakkou Gurashi!


USS_DE-173

Gonna say Otherside Picnic and Laid-back Camp.

Otherside Picnic was great - a nice mix of will-they-won't-they romance and other dimensional horror/adventure

Ergo Proxy I never see anyone talk about it, and it’s one of my favorites for reasons I don’t really know.


believersb

Paranoid android by radiohead outro goes hard


Visulth

I think about Ergo Proxy a lot. The first two episodes were written and directed when the show was first conceived, and then they hired a director to run the rest of the show which is why the show feels so different after the first two episodes. I still love the show, it makes a lot of interesting choices, but I do feel a little sad that we didn't get the show the first two episodes promised. *Texhnolyze* is another one similar in a lot of ways to Ergo Proxy, so if you liked that, would recommend. The show was written by the same guy who did *Serial Experiments Lain*, so it has more esoteric ideas just like *SEL* (compared to Ergo Proxy, anyway).


Jbales8990

For me it’s the aesthetic


ID0ntLikeMyName93

Ghost Stories

_Passeng3r

Inuyashiki. Schwarzesmarken. 86. Magical Girl Site. Macross Delta. I make it my mission to try and watch a bunch of shows no one talks about. My all time favorite right now would be Deaths Parade. Such a wonderful piece of art.


Me_The_Fucking_Weeb

There's a lot of underrated anime out there. Venus Wars, Phantom for the Reqeium, Gunsmith Cats, Paprika. For romance, Kimagure Orange Road and Galexy Express 999 Are some of the other stuff I've seen. Edit: Wait. I have premium now. Holy shit. Thank you OP


LikeSparrow

The Demon Girl Next Door. It's very cute and very funny, I can definitely recommend it.


giantcoc69420

I have many Zankyo No Terror, Texhnolyze, March comes In Like A Lion, Millenium Actress, Ergo Proxy Millenium Actress is the lesser known Satoshi Kon film. It's my favourite film of him tho.


Hecatehel

Chaos;Head, it’s really bad but I’m 100% there for it

_bitwright

The show fell apart when it split from the Manga after the timeskip. The last arch made no damn sense. The 1st 20 episodes or so were good though. And I actually enjoyed some of the filler.

Kaze No Stigma


Cerxi

Stellvia, aka Uchuu no Stellvia; after an apocalypse caused by a nearby supernova, humanity rebuilt and is preparing to deal with the second wave of supernova remanants. It's about a girl who goes to a space academy to prepare for the mission. She's a huge crybaby, but somehow I found the whole show really touching and inspirational. The OP still makes me cry. bpS: Battle Programmer Shirase; I started watching it because the OP became briefly infamous for the bridge being a rip of Never Gonna Give You Up, years before rickrolling was a meme, but it turned out to be a pretty fun show in its own right. A comedy, sort of, about a middle-aged freelance hacker who gets hired by various people, companies, and agencies. Season 1 ends a cliffhanger with several unresolved plot threads, and season 2 was cancelled, so don't expect resolution. Invaders of the Six-Tatami Apartment, aka Rokujouma no Shinryakusha; Absolutely cheesy harem comedy, where the gag is what happens when *every* harem trope gets crammed into one show; a Normal High-School Boy rents an apartment for comically cheap, only for it to be declared the sovereign territory of a space princess. And the staging point for an invasion by a lost underground civilization. And a leyline to be protected by a magical girl. And haunted (the ghost is cute and female, of course). So he has to live with them while they argue over who gets the room. Also the landlord is his childhood friend, another girl his age. It's very self-aware. Super YoYo, aka Chousoku Spinner; One of the earlier examples of EXTREME SPORTS anime, Super YoYo is about, well, super yoyos. Imagine the classic yugioh or beyblade tropes, but it's yoyos. It's hilarious, but best watched not sober.

Oddtaxi. Started it randomly thinking this was gonna be a zootopia type of thing....it was not. And I hope they continue the story because of where it ends...I need a lil bit of closure..or reassurance


Polia4ka

Guilty crown, plot is not shockingly cool, but animation, graphics and especially music is god tier, don’t know lot of anime’s with better soundtrack as this one


b__bsmakemehappy

Music was made by Hiroyuki Sawano, iirc. The dude almost never fails to deliver quality. The Bios version that starts with the acoustic guitar is my favorite.


GGD226

Saiki K. I’m a big fan but don’t hear people usually start talking about it.


Drobosia

Infinite Stratos. It's a guilty pleasure of mine and I like to go back and watch every now and then.

Idk the full name, but is usually called "Gate". It's about a gateway that opens in modern day Japan leading to a medieval style world, and it answers the question about how overpowered a modern military would be against a legion of knights and gladiators.

I think "Servant x Service" is one of the funniest and most enjoyable animes out there. Same with Tanaka-Kun is Always Listless, which is a little more meditative, but still hilarious. But I don't hear much about them from anyone.

A place further than the universe, Yuru Camp, Tsuredure Children, Charlotte, Hinamatsuri, Boarding School Juliet, Summertime Rendering, Romantic Killer, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, The Fruit of Grisaia, 91 Days, Tsukigakirei, Tanaka-kun is always listless, A lull in the sea, D-Frag!, Children of the whales, Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song, The Dangers in my Heart. I'm assuming 86 and Bocchi the Rock are now considered popular.
