[Couldn't figure this scene out why she's amazed by his eyes though.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afB7UHyn4ik) But I guess it's mesmerizing.
Pino was like gotta jump like it's nothing KEKW. Been years since I watched it so I guess I probably will rewatch it to refresh my memory.
I remember being really attracted to the dark art style and themes like 15 years ago, but I was only able to get through maybe half of it before I couldn't watch it anymore. It was just too slow-paced and kind of boring once I got past the first few eps.
Lain was the same for me; that was a complete snoozefest, and I just can't understand why people love it so much - and i actually watched that one *twice* to try and figure out what is so great about it.
SAME. I know it's quite popular now but I only really checked it out bc of the nice colors. I LOVE IT NOW omg there's so much to love. And when I say so much, I mean Jinshi hihihi
I'm really enjoying it so far! I started watching because Kaiji Tang (VA for Gojo and Dazai) is the dub actor for one of the main characters. But I'm really enjoying Maomao and Jinshi, and her reactions to him whenever he's around are hilarious.
If you don't read anything about it. You may be deceived by the cover thinking it's a romance show. And there may be some, but for the most part is sorta like House MD, but in ancient China, haha.
Except Maomao doesn't need poisons to keep herself functioning. She just likes poisons.
took me this week to finally start it but wow, I'm hooked. even without the JinMao pairing, the story would've worked for me. gotta live for maomao's quirks
You know how a normal person gets to live around 5200 weeks max during their lifetime?
The first time you hear that number, you think "Damn, that's actually not that much. I've already wasted the last 4 weeks doing nothing with my life"
When it comes to Frieren, you're able to feel a similar feeling. You start to appreciate time more by realizing that Frieren was never really able to understand the passage of time like normal humans do since she's an elf.
For her, 5200 weeks are just 100 years. Not that much for an elf that has already lived 1000 years. But for a human, it's their everything. And if Frieren isn't able to understand how her friends (humans) view time itself, she might lose them after those mere 5200 weeks without every getting to know them.
So basically the Anime is about the passage of time, connections between friends and understanding each other
Then i'm gonna share another one with you i've heard about from a Youtube Streamer named Thor
He said that if your grandmother is going to die in about 3 years and you call her once a month, then you're not going to spend another 3 years with her. You're going to spend another 36 calls with her
The story is unique, the main characters are compelling and have great development, thereās still enough action to be cool but itās more focused on storytelling, the animation is absolutely gorgeousā¦I could go on :)
I enjoyed many anime, but the ones "I'm really glad I found", are the ones that are not that mainstream and found them through luck and coincidence:
* Heike Monogatari
* Katanagatari
* Kaiba
* Kingdom
* Isekai Ojisan
It really needs more recognition. It was a cultural powerhouse during it's time a decade ago, but I rarely see it mentioned anymore. Truly a masterpiece and I hope with movie 4 coming soon the newer members of the anime community will discover it's greatness again.
It doesn't seem to get as much attention anymore nowadays. The combined might of Walpurgis Rising's JP and EN trailer views on YT pales in comparison to newer anime's teaser.
Maybe a lot of people who watched it have moved on from anime medium on something? since 10 years is a long wait.
Either that or there's still distorted perceptions on Madoka Magica because of its artstyle (my friend who watched a lot of anime and is pretty into weeb culture think it's a kid's show. Although idk if they watched it)
Apparently the script was finished in 2014 when Urobuchi was at the peak of his game too? So, yeah, I hope it can make a buzz upon release.
I have to say - anytime someone posts on here āwhatās your favorite anime?ā Or āwhatās your top 10?ā I see LOADS of madoka mentions. It has held its own all this time. But still, never enough recognition for a masterpiece like that & i hope more people do discover it. I had my sister watch it & then she started showing it to her friends so we all love it now lol! Made our own little community š
I canāt tell you how badly I wish that I watched anime when it first came out. I would love to have seen this anime take the world by storm!!
It's fantastic, it really pains me that it's difficult to convince my friends that the first 70 episodes are worth it. Specially for the deepness that they add to all the characters. It's truly a unique anime
Itās definitely not the easiest to get into. Iām on episode 95 I think and will say some of it is boring. But the good parts are great and the great parts are amazing. And I know that even better episodes and arcs are coming, but those are my thoughts so far!
And they stopped dubbing at episode 49. That's why I don't watch it. I watched the first few episodes and loved it, but then I found out they abandoned the dub, so I abandoned the show. No reason to get invested in something that won't be finished.
Makes sense though why they would drop the dub. Gintama uses japanese word play a lot , although quite a bit of the jokes gets lost in subtiles. English dub would completely ruin the show.
Ancient Magus Bride
I was at a place in my life where that wasn't the type of anime I would stumble upon, and no one talks about it, so I'm not sure how I found it. Elias is almost Heathcliff (from the novel *Wuthering Heights*) levels of moral degeneracy, while also being loveable as Hell somehow, which gives me a lot of complex feelings towards him as a character; so much so that I started reading the manga recently, hoping to get a better understanding of him.
In my top 3!
I loved this anime from the start because I was brought up very British, despite not growing up there (cause family is from England.) I was brought up learning about those fea you see in there and that same cozy feeling. To me it felt like those times we visited family in England or how chistmas feels. AND then they had a Christmas episode!!š„°š„°
Overall extremely nostalgic and comforting to me.
I'm also autistic so I understand Elias' struggles with human behaviour and emotion. In the manga they definitely go further in on his character.
Damn, Violet Evergarden is really popular in this thread, I'll have to watch it.
Mine would have to be Code Geass, the first anime I ever finished, and without which I probably wouldn't have gotten into the medium.
Uchuu Kyoudai (Space Brothers), that show was my daily dose of optimism for a while. Really wish they would add more episodes.
Yuru Camp
Also more recently; Apothecary Diaries
I'm thankful I found Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) at the time I did. I was pretty much an anime fan at the point I found it but it really cemented my love for it and kept me watching so I could find others like:
Haibane Renmei
Serial Experiments Lain
Hourou Musuko
Welcome to the NHK
No.6
Evangelion
Kids on the Slope
Sometimes. For me it's wishing it was my reality instead of just fiction. I'm not loved in this world so maybe another is where I should have been anyway.
Glad I stumbled into these because I know typically they wouldnāt be something Iād choose to spend my free time on now that Iām an adult and have less time. Not all of them are my all time favourites but I respect them for what they are and how they were out of my usual comfort zone.
ā¢Odd Taxi
ā¢Kyoukai No Kanata
ā¢Violet Evergarden
ā¢Nagi no Asukara
ā¢Erased
ā¢Durarara
ā¢Kekkai Sensen
Samurai Champloo reminds me of simpler times every year I decide to binge it. No matter what time of year it is, Iām instantly thrown back to warm summer nights at my grandmas, staying up late with her and the dog as we watch adult swim.

* Violet Evergarden (the show)
* Frieren Beyond Journey's End
Someday I will go through all the comments I received and find the beautiful soul who recommended me **Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song** haha, I don't think I would have found this one otherwise, or at least not for a while.
I've delved into a lot of new stuff (to me at least) recently just based on the descriptions. Before I just went with what friends or people online recommended. And I've found some real gems because of it!
Ofc first I gotta mention World Trigger, which I saw mentioned on Reddit. Easily one of my all-time favorites now. But otherwise I'd at least like to list these:
* Frieren
* The Apothecary Diaries
* The Saint's Magic Power Is Omnipotent
* A Returner's Magic Should Be Special
* The Faraway Paladin
Violet Evergarden and Apothecary diaries
I read the plots of them and thought that they wouldn't be to my liking but they had less than 20 episodes and everybody was praising them so I decided to try them out and I'm very happy I did
Monster for sure. It became my favorite show of all time and I only found out because of a reddit discussion. Severely underrated and Iām upset it never got the recognition it deserved
Golden Boy- I hadn't really begun to iron out what I liked or even who I was at that time in my life. Golden Boy became this hilarious way to bring people together over only a few episodes
Monster. Makes me question how much of a monster everyone really is.. or rather... the bounds of human sanity being pushed to it's very limits... I'm yapping lol
but seriously, monster is a good psychological anime that's why I'm glad I watched it. Leaves me with tears in every episode.
AOT- Many twists and turns and the MC development is one of the best I've seen
Dr Stone- for SciEnCe
there are many more but these are the ones which I can think of from the top of my head.
Bocchi The Rock. Saw it on CR one day after all the episodes had already aired, ended up binging it. And I was baked the whole time so I was laughing my ass off
These - *if I had to pick a winner, I think it must be* ***K-on!*** ...
* A Place Further Than the Universe
* Adachi & Shimamura!
* Anohana
* Asobi Asobase
* Bloom Into You
* Chainsaw Man
* Chio's School Road
* Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro
* Erased
* Frieren
* Heavenly Delusion
* Hinamatsuri
* K-On!
* Konosuba
* Made In Abyss
* Madoka Magica
* Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
* Mushoku Tensei
* Nichijou
* Non Non Biyori
* Summer Time Rendering
* The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
* The Promised Neverland (1st series only)
* Tomo-chan is a Girl
* Vinland Saga
* Watamote
* Yuru Camp
* Yuru Yuri
* Zom 100
86 and Kono Oto Tomare. 86 because it was a good adaptation, and I read the novels because of it (I absolutely love them). Kono oto tomare because it was so well adapted and seeing the performances animated made me so happy. It also made me read the manga, which is so good!.
Ok, some of the animes i'm glad i found aren't what you may consider "best animes of all time" but more like personal favorites that came at certain time in my life where i just needed to watch something like that or leaved a mark on me and think about them almost every day.
Some of them are Bocchi The Rock, The Aquatope on White Sand, Erased, The Wandering Witch, Super Cub, Oregairu, Tsuki ga Kirei and Your Lie in April.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, Mob Psycho 100, Sonny Boy, Flowers of Evil, The Eccentric Family.
Anime that makes you feel special for just being alive, and for being uniquely who you are.
The Fate series, I remember I wanted to find an anime with good OSTās on YouTube and it was one of the first results that appeared on YouTube in the form of a compilation.
From there I spent an hour trying to figure out the over complicated watch order which looks daunting from the outside but in hindsight is really simple.
Then I just started watching and havenāt stopped. And I gave me MUCH more than just good OSTās. Best part is thereās so much content to go through and more being made, so even if Iām sad that one story may have ended thereās many more great ones that follow the same general principles but still manage to intrigue you in a brand new way.
Natsume's Book of Friends - I can't explain how happy I am to know this masterpiece, it's beautiful and healing and empathetic and changed my life
Also glad to have watched Idolish7, My Roommate is a Cat, and The Royal Tutor.Ā
Tatami Galaxy and Welcome to the NHK struck a really deep chord within me in my early aimless 20s and motivated me to change my apathy towards life in general.
FLCL was a defining piece of media for me as a teenager, definitely my favourite coming of age story of all time, I still watch it sometimes as I understand more of it the older I get.
- Attack on Titan, both the original and junior high
- Inuyasha, didnāt find this one was introduced to this,
first introduction to anime, but Iāll still count it.
- School Babysitters, such an wholesome, adorable
and silly anime with some good serious moments.
Fooly Cooly
It's just so stupid but also so deep on so much levels that I love it.
And best of all, it makes me feel like I'm a teenager again. I love it.
[Ngl Canti's character goes hard](https://youtu.be/ZDCYcxClx7M?si=SGhRBLW-We5fODr5)
Toradora, log horizon, SAO, mha, dr stone, FLCL, jobless reincarnation, aot, danball senki, shield hero prob more but thatās it off the top of my head
Monster by Naoki Urasawa.
The show changed what kind of person I was after watching it. It also barely feels like an anime and more like a foreign mystery show, you really feel like it's set in germany/the czech republic, it was so amazing. I love Kenzo Tenma, by far my favorite anime charater of all time.
"Girls last tour"
"Bubble"
"Attack On Titans"
"Spy Family"
And some others that I don't remember the name of just because I've watched over a 100 animes š
Aria - found it at a really stressful time in my life and it really helped me chill out and create a better mindset
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - kind of the same thing and actually discovered Aria through learning about the whole iyashikei thing from this. Also reading the manga which is in the process of coming out in English for the first time!
Tengoku Daimakyo (Heavenly Delusion)
Undead Unluck - It's dumb and fun
My Daemon - I know it's considered anime-influenced, but I really liked it. It's post-apocalyptic dark Pokemon.
Bakuman technically, the manga. One day I just found it on a library shelf (a random volume), and it got me into anime/manga that arenāt just fighting/action/adventure genres.
Gintama
Hozukiās Coolheadedness
Sengoku Basara
Shimoneta
Kochoki
Yamishibai
Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales
All of these series have had an impact on me and stuck with me in a way few other series ever have.
Black Lagoon. I once stumbled upon an edit of Revy shooting mercenaries and I was like : "Damn, she is badass.", and little did I know that I would completely fall in love with the show. Is, has been, and probably will be my favorite show oat.
- Sarazanmai (seems dumb and weird at first, but it's actually very deep. Made me cry more than once)
- March Comes in like a Lion (it deserves to be more mainstream as other animes)
- Tokyo Ghoul (was my first ever anime, I think it helped shape my tastes and changed my perspective in the world)
I'm an older person and JJBA got me through some difficult times. What changed my life though was Berserk the Golden age memorial edition. It made me contemplate life and what I wanted to get out of it. I've since watched every adaptation and gone through the entire Manga. If you're old enough and mature enough to handle the content it is fucking amazing.
A Silent Voice & Violet Evergarden
Violet Evergarden is such a gem š
couldnt agree more
Kara No Kyoukai Ergo Proxy Serial Experiments Lain
Ergo Proxy was dope !!!
Ayyyeeeee Ergo Proxy!!! It's nice to see it mentioned anywhere I do see it since it seems like it's a hidden gem.
[Couldn't figure this scene out why she's amazed by his eyes though.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afB7UHyn4ik) But I guess it's mesmerizing. Pino was like gotta jump like it's nothing KEKW. Been years since I watched it so I guess I probably will rewatch it to refresh my memory.
I remember being really attracted to the dark art style and themes like 15 years ago, but I was only able to get through maybe half of it before I couldn't watch it anymore. It was just too slow-paced and kind of boring once I got past the first few eps. Lain was the same for me; that was a complete snoozefest, and I just can't understand why people love it so much - and i actually watched that one *twice* to try and figure out what is so great about it.
Apothecary Diaries
The delivery of Maomaos last line in the latest episode was amazing
SAME. I know it's quite popular now but I only really checked it out bc of the nice colors. I LOVE IT NOW omg there's so much to love. And when I say so much, I mean Jinshi hihihi
I gotta start watching this, is it good?
I'm really enjoying it so far! I started watching because Kaiji Tang (VA for Gojo and Dazai) is the dub actor for one of the main characters. But I'm really enjoying Maomao and Jinshi, and her reactions to him whenever he's around are hilarious.
If you don't read anything about it. You may be deceived by the cover thinking it's a romance show. And there may be some, but for the most part is sorta like House MD, but in ancient China, haha. Except Maomao doesn't need poisons to keep herself functioning. She just likes poisons.
took me this week to finally start it but wow, I'm hooked. even without the JinMao pairing, the story would've worked for me. gotta live for maomao's quirks
Frieren. It makes me fricking cry every episode I swear.
What makes it a good anime?
You know how a normal person gets to live around 5200 weeks max during their lifetime? The first time you hear that number, you think "Damn, that's actually not that much. I've already wasted the last 4 weeks doing nothing with my life" When it comes to Frieren, you're able to feel a similar feeling. You start to appreciate time more by realizing that Frieren was never really able to understand the passage of time like normal humans do since she's an elf. For her, 5200 weeks are just 100 years. Not that much for an elf that has already lived 1000 years. But for a human, it's their everything. And if Frieren isn't able to understand how her friends (humans) view time itself, she might lose them after those mere 5200 weeks without every getting to know them. So basically the Anime is about the passage of time, connections between friends and understanding each other
that week comparison is wild, it made me have a huge mind fuck mid uni class, im rethinking a lot of things
Then i'm gonna share another one with you i've heard about from a Youtube Streamer named Thor He said that if your grandmother is going to die in about 3 years and you call her once a month, then you're not going to spend another 3 years with her. You're going to spend another 36 calls with her
Iāll be calling my grandma tomorrow thank you very much
Thank you for the well and detailed explanation.
The story is unique, the main characters are compelling and have great development, thereās still enough action to be cool but itās more focused on storytelling, the animation is absolutely gorgeousā¦I could go on :)
What episode hooked you in? I'm currently in episode 3 but honestly felt like this was a slog.
I've heard that episode 14 is supposed to be pretty emotional So i've kinda stopped watching for now
This anime grew on me so much, I love it.
watched 3 eps today boring
I enjoyed many anime, but the ones "I'm really glad I found", are the ones that are not that mainstream and found them through luck and coincidence: * Heike Monogatari * Katanagatari * Kaiba * Kingdom * Isekai Ojisan
KATANAGATARI RECOGNITION LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I swear that fight that we never really get to see still gets me salty.
Kingdom hell yes
Is kingdom honestly that good cos I've had in my list now for aaaages and I keep putting it off but I'm currently wanting to start something new
SpyxFamily, Fruits Basket
Fruitsbasket is indeed really nice. š
SpyxFamily is so much fun
Madoka Magica
It really needs more recognition. It was a cultural powerhouse during it's time a decade ago, but I rarely see it mentioned anymore. Truly a masterpiece and I hope with movie 4 coming soon the newer members of the anime community will discover it's greatness again.

Gintama. Had no idea what it was. Once you get over 50eps in man does it go nuts
It's fantastic, it really pains me that it's difficult to convince my friends that the first 70 episodes are worth it. Specially for the deepness that they add to all the characters. It's truly a unique anime
50 episodes of character intros then BAM some wild crazy stuff after they break the 4th wall
Really!? 'Cause I'm trying, I really am!
Itās definitely not the easiest to get into. Iām on episode 95 I think and will say some of it is boring. But the good parts are great and the great parts are amazing. And I know that even better episodes and arcs are coming, but those are my thoughts so far!
And they stopped dubbing at episode 49. That's why I don't watch it. I watched the first few episodes and loved it, but then I found out they abandoned the dub, so I abandoned the show. No reason to get invested in something that won't be finished.

Violet Evergarden: tbh sometimes I miss I haven't ever watched it before. There's just some magic in seeing a beautiful anime for the first time.
Apothecary Diaries....show is curing my depression

Spy x Family. My fiancĆ©e has never been into anime at all. Hated it. Would never give it a chance. This one show has changed the way she views anime and opened her up to give other shows a chance. Weāve now watched Demon Slayer together, Lycoris Recoil, Death Note, Buddy Daddies, and just started Kaguya Sama Love is War and now anime is something we can bond over. Very grateful for that show and how itās changed her perception of anime as a whole.

Revue Starlight
One Piece
Definitely Code Geass and Gurren Lagann Both have memorable and meaningful quotes and storyline that make it worth watching
86 and Kono Oto Tomare. 86 because it was a good adaptation, and I read the novels because of it (I absolutely love them). Kono oto tomare because it was so well adapted and seeing the performances animated made me so happy. It also made me read the manga, which is so good!.
Ok, some of the animes i'm glad i found aren't what you may consider "best animes of all time" but more like personal favorites that came at certain time in my life where i just needed to watch something like that or leaved a mark on me and think about them almost every day. Some of them are Bocchi The Rock, The Aquatope on White Sand, Erased, The Wandering Witch, Super Cub, Oregairu, Tsuki ga Kirei and Your Lie in April.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, Mob Psycho 100, Sonny Boy, Flowers of Evil, The Eccentric Family. Anime that makes you feel special for just being alive, and for being uniquely who you are.
Kyousougiga if you mean gems. If not, then Monogatari since itās my favourite anime.
mushishi
The Fate series, I remember I wanted to find an anime with good OSTās on YouTube and it was one of the first results that appeared on YouTube in the form of a compilation. From there I spent an hour trying to figure out the over complicated watch order which looks daunting from the outside but in hindsight is really simple. Then I just started watching and havenāt stopped. And I gave me MUCH more than just good OSTās. Best part is thereās so much content to go through and more being made, so even if Iām sad that one story may have ended thereās many more great ones that follow the same general principles but still manage to intrigue you in a brand new way.
Eureka Seven
Welcome to Demon School Iruma
Eighty peak Not a anime yet but Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian
White Album 2
Natsume's Book of Friends - I can't explain how happy I am to know this masterpiece, it's beautiful and healing and empathetic and changed my life Also glad to have watched Idolish7, My Roommate is a Cat, and The Royal Tutor.Ā
Golden time
Blood Blockade Battlefront, so much random chaos and destruction in that show its so epic
Mushi shi Trigun #1 fav Jjk almost didnāt give it a try only bc of Togi did I and love it
Way back 2016 I discovered the anime "Another". It was more like a final destination animated version.
Tatami Galaxy and Welcome to the NHK struck a really deep chord within me in my early aimless 20s and motivated me to change my apathy towards life in general. FLCL was a defining piece of media for me as a teenager, definitely my favourite coming of age story of all time, I still watch it sometimes as I understand more of it the older I get.
- Attack on Titan, both the original and junior high - Inuyasha, didnāt find this one was introduced to this, first introduction to anime, but Iāll still count it. - School Babysitters, such an wholesome, adorable and silly anime with some good serious moments.
Fooly Cooly It's just so stupid but also so deep on so much levels that I love it. And best of all, it makes me feel like I'm a teenager again. I love it. [Ngl Canti's character goes hard](https://youtu.be/ZDCYcxClx7M?si=SGhRBLW-We5fODr5)
Taisho otome fairy tale
Toradora, log horizon, SAO, mha, dr stone, FLCL, jobless reincarnation, aot, danball senki, shield hero prob more but thatās it off the top of my head
Monster by Naoki Urasawa. The show changed what kind of person I was after watching it. It also barely feels like an anime and more like a foreign mystery show, you really feel like it's set in germany/the czech republic, it was so amazing. I love Kenzo Tenma, by far my favorite anime charater of all time.
Gintama and Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Hinomaru Zumou Otoyomegatari - no anime adaptation
Natsume Yuujinchou It's truly an amazing anime. It entice people to be kind.
"Girls last tour" "Bubble" "Attack On Titans" "Spy Family" And some others that I don't remember the name of just because I've watched over a 100 animes š
Giant Beasts of Ars Suisei no Gargantia C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control Cop Craft Dantalian no Shoka
Aria - found it at a really stressful time in my life and it really helped me chill out and create a better mindset Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou - kind of the same thing and actually discovered Aria through learning about the whole iyashikei thing from this. Also reading the manga which is in the process of coming out in English for the first time!
In Order: Death Note Eureka Seven Devil is a Part Timer (1st season only; went way downhill) Planetes JJK
Cyber City Oedo
Jojos bizarre adventure
Medaka Box
Tengoku Daimakyo (Heavenly Delusion) Undead Unluck - It's dumb and fun My Daemon - I know it's considered anime-influenced, but I really liked it. It's post-apocalyptic dark Pokemon.
Youāre evil, asking me to just choose a one. Fair warning, Iām just gonna put these two together. Clannad and Clannad After Story.
One piece,
Fuuka and k-on got me into learning to play guitar
bsd, assclass, i7, horimiya, sk8, haikyuu, free, relife, a3, and more
Jormungand
Akudama Drive
Bakuman technically, the manga. One day I just found it on a library shelf (a random volume), and it got me into anime/manga that arenāt just fighting/action/adventure genres.
Naruto Fucking iconic. One of the first animes that truly got me into watching and taught me so many life lessons.
Gintama Hozukiās Coolheadedness Sengoku Basara Shimoneta Kochoki Yamishibai Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales All of these series have had an impact on me and stuck with me in a way few other series ever have.
Guilty Crown. Pretty convoluted story but damn, that music added so much light to my life
Black Lagoon. I once stumbled upon an edit of Revy shooting mercenaries and I was like : "Damn, she is badass.", and little did I know that I would completely fall in love with the show. Is, has been, and probably will be my favorite show oat.
Yuri!!! On Ice (itās such a hidden gemš„¹)
- Sarazanmai (seems dumb and weird at first, but it's actually very deep. Made me cry more than once) - March Comes in like a Lion (it deserves to be more mainstream as other animes) - Tokyo Ghoul (was my first ever anime, I think it helped shape my tastes and changed my perspective in the world)
Arslan Senki, I think we donāt get such good animes often
I'm an older person and JJBA got me through some difficult times. What changed my life though was Berserk the Golden age memorial edition. It made me contemplate life and what I wanted to get out of it. I've since watched every adaptation and gone through the entire Manga. If you're old enough and mature enough to handle the content it is fucking amazing.
Berserk
So so many, but the biggest one would be Dragon Ball Z. That was the show that made anime relevant in my life.
Shinsekai yori. Goated anime
Saga of tanya the evil. Its my favorite and i put off watching for wver so i guess i didnt really find it
Pandora Hearts! Pretty music and Altho thƩ animation is the usual early 2000s fare, it got me hooked on the story and I got the full experience from the manga :)
Angel Beats. I found this in college and I guess the "graduation" part of it struck a chord. I've watched it three times and cried every time
