Tokyo Ghoul - This series was one of the best Ive watched in a while highly recommend it
Hunter x Hunter - This one starts off a bit light but gets alot darker as it goes on
Mob Psycho - About a kid who has some intense psychic powers, love the animation on this one
Drifters - This has an amazing story that mixes fantasy with characters from throughout history, highly recommend it
One Punch Man - Makes light of shounen style series but still a great watch
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - This has a great story to it and is full of random things
Gate - One day a gate appears in japan leading to another world, after being attacked japanese forces enter the gate to end the war. Mixes fantasy with modern Warfare
Cowboy Bebop - This is a classic with a immense story and action, trust me you need to watch this
Outlaw Star - Another oldie but still a great watch
Trigun - A rich story that gets better as it goes, has comedy but also its dark side
Boku no hero academia - A world where pretty much everyone has some kind of power and heroes/Villains exist this is a personal favourite
ThePiedPiperofRuination
Also from One Punch Man
NyQuilDaydream
If you like Cowboy Bebop I recommend Michiko & Hatchin!
PaladinGreenjay
If drifters looks interesting and you haven't seen it yet, yoy had better check out Hellsing Ultimate
BardOP
aye i was watch hellsing as it was coming out ages ago, and drifters i think ive watched like 4 times now XD
HavocCurse
Counterargument: Gate is an anime that mixes Harem with Harem. And only occasionally remembers the fantasy vs modern military theme.
minant
"What if Stargate was a harem anime"
LANflair
Something about My hero Academia, it gets sad real quick, but not for too long.
WaggyTails
That show likes to punch me right in the heart. I love it
PixieVixie
I wish I had time. 4 days off, 1 for the bf, 3 for family outta town. How I miss winter breaks.
BardOP
ahhh maybe you could convince your bf to sit down and watch a episode or two with you?
Akhormenet
Unless you like cringey levels jingoistic Japanese nationalism, don't watch GATE.
RNWho
Gate looked promising, and then it became a harem and the plot stopped progressing as much...
SeaKerman
Read The Salvation Wars. Similar premise, MUCH better execution. Armageddon is the first book.
FKrischkowski19968
What about boku nu pico?
EnbyAshy
You stop that!
FKrischkowski19968

MamkaPlanetBreaker
Some of these choices are baaad...
DoctahGhostly
Not bad ones really, just a really boring and generic list of shit where more than half is already on Tooami or everyone already knows about
SiIverSoul
Ever heard of an opinion? You can't really call it "bad" if a majority of people like these. Sure there are bad things, but overall = good
YourWaifuIsTrash
At least Black Clover isn't on here. We thought Eren from AoT was bad about always yelling...
123yy890
Op, you shonen jump basic bitch. Dig deeper! Even the lot who don’t watch anime at all know about Cowboy Bebop and One Punch Man.
Akhormenet
Indeed, whenever I see these posts I'm astounded by how utterly shallow people's viewing habits are.
BardOP
Well this post says its a small dump as in a handful of shows that i like, i didn't have time to list a butt load of them.
123yy890
Fair. But haters gunna hate. I'm judging these picks because of how wildly popular they are.
TinyTimmyTokyo
I don't have enough room to explain why Gate is bad. It's an anime with a dumb cliche ending, bad development and is basically a harem.
Matkingos
Don't forget the jingoism
easysteezyweezy
What about samurai champloo shits lit goes hand in hand with cowboy bebop for me
tablecat
Tokyo Ghoul is literally one of the worst things I've watched. It's so fucking edgy and the animation is shit.
[deleted]
[deleted]
tablecat
To be fair, he had a pretty good reason to be whiny. But still a shitty main character, I agree.
davyay
100%
DamianWinters
I can understand you not liking it, but how is the animation bad? I personally liked the anime alot.
tablecat
I'm mostly talking about the first season. It was very obviously made with a way too low budget, and a lot of things looked very awkward.
SiIverSoul
Listen this.. some people like edgy. Or cheesy. It's anime. That's what makes it great sometimes. Because it's over the top. Not always ofc.
ShittyHomestuckMemes
@bardop you forgot space dandy! For shame
MayorDeweyMayorDewey
came here to say the same thing!

Don't take that tone with me.

TheMonocleRogue
Ah yes, DMC. I see you have class as well.
BardOP
lol aye i forgot a fair few, gonna make another post at some point with more of em =P Even forgot the original Berserk series
mjangelvortex
No love for Full Metal Alchemist?
elhopaness
BROTHERHOOD don't leave that word behind FFS, it's a pain seeing the bad one and then the real.
shouldbestudyingnow
Well neither are bad, brotherhood is just better.
elhopaness
I saw the first one and the ending for me was unsatisfying and weird. And I was very glad to find out that it was a made up finish.
BardOP
Much love for it but figured everyone already knows about it ^_^
Pally01
Recommending GATE? Oh boy, here we go...
Mercenarity
I never got far into Gate. Like the first two or three episodes, then I got distracted with other shows.
OmenRider
You didn't miss much. All of the interesting aspects of the show vanished, it was all just a generic fantasy-harem flick after that
Lichelf
Then you watched the best parts.

ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
SiIverSoul
the ending to that episode was hilarious.
L1ota
I might be spelling it wrong but I enjoyed the Danganronpa anime.
tablecat
The anime is absolute garbage. I couldn't get through the 4th episode. The games, however, are excellent.
BardOP
the games are alright too ive heard
tablecat
The games are amazing. Anime is garbage.
DamianWinters
The anime is definitely not garbage, its just the games thinned down. The games take much longer to play so its up to people.
tablecat
It's definitely made with the budget of a couple of peanuts. It tries wayyy to hard to be the game in every way, but it just doesn't work.
DamianWinters
It is the game just with alot of content cut out, the games are obviously superior but if you don't have much time the anime is still good
DamianWinters
Also there's Daganronpa 3 which doesn't have a game.
SickLikeMe187
Outlaw Star, Tokyo Ghoul, and Trigun are ruined by the endings. Shame because Outlaw Star is one if my favorites.
Jacko707
same with cowboy bebop for me honestly, the "underlying story" of the whole series was pretty useless and painfully standard...
[deleted]
[deleted]
Jacko707
Don't get me wrong I lived the show, but the episodes where they give the underlying story were tedious to watch...
Radix865
I wish they'd just go and animate Trigun Maximum, even if it was in OVA's like Hellsing Ultimate.
Marmonator
Meanwhile Cowboy Bebop's ending is perfect.
LupusGrey
I liked the ending of Trigun.
Stratego89
*Sigh*... guess it's time to finally sit down and watch Bebop.
1337likeninja
do you like crying? i still have nightmares about the ending.
BardOP
Hell yeah it is, make sure to watch the movie as well
sashadqaf
Ive only watched the one punch one and omg it’s the funniest shit ever . +1 for adding that one.
Porecomesis
I'm more a 'The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.' person, myself.
terithian
Watch Mob Psycho 100. The manga it's based on is by the same author as One-Punch Man.
GoatDadIsBestDad
Sakamoto Desu Ga? is even funnier.
Fyba
Not a huge SoL fan, but I might give it a look.
AnActualTsundere
Watch greater teacher onizuka. You'll die of laughter
AnActualTsundere
Gate is one of the worst anime series I've seen. How can anyone recommend that crap?
tablecat
I only watched the first season, but it has entertainment value. Not saying it's good, but it has its merits.
minant
I think I really liked the premise and wanted it to be more than the execution delivered.
DamianWinters
Well idk how people like Cowboy bebop so much, I thought it was really average.
AnActualTsundere
Cowboy bebop is not for everyone. Just like Samurai Champloo. Both are pretty fucking great, but definitely not for everyone. Not my thing.
SlyMrFox
Why does Rurouni Kenshin never make these lists?
TechNutz
creator of ruroni kenshin turned out to be a really dirty scumbag
andthedicestoppedrolling
Loved that show. However, the ending sucked so much I looked into the manga. Turns out they cut an entire arc with some really good stuff
SlyMrFox
Word is, the manga hadn't come out with the last arc yet, so the third season was made as filler. Except this filler was so hated, they were
SlyMrFox
afraid to actually make a fourth, due to ratings of the third.
andthedicestoppedrolling
That would explain a lot. The OVAs taken from the last arc were awesome though
SlyMrFox
Not perfect though, I wasn't a fan of them. Just my opinion, though.
BardOP
Yet another i forgot to list, i loved that show
FitzDubious
And Champloooooo IMO better than bebop
SlyMrFox
Finally watched Cowboy Bebop, and I don't know if it's because of the hype, but I didn't enjoy it.
SlyMrFox
First 2 seasons though, the third shall not be named!
BardOP
there was no third it was all a lie
DaemonPrimarchOfTheTwelfth
because of 45 episodes of punching wolves
SlyMrFox
What?
DaemonPrimarchOfTheTwelfth
There's an annoying long arc where it kept cutting back to so-and-so in a cave punching wolves
SlyMrFox
I think you've got your anime mixed up.
FitzDubious
yeha i literally just finished kenshin and do not remember this at all
cheesymccheese
I would recommend Akame ga Kill if you want to cry and lose all emotion.
Akhormenet
That show is terrible, why would you recommend it to anyone?
DamianWinters
Because its not terrible to them?
Akhormenet
I guess there's no accounting for shit taste.
DamianWinters
people liking different things doesn't mean they have shit taste.
Akhormenet
Are you suggesting that all stories are equally good and that there are is no such thing as objective quality?
DamianWinters
Akame ga kill was great but the ending was really rushed unfortunately. Ill never Bro though.
GlobalStrike
BardOP
funny enough thats next on my list after no game no life
tablecat
Please stop recommending things to people, OP.
GlobalStrike
What’s the deal with everyone who doesn’t like the anime being recommended? You’re free to ignore the ones you don’t like, but is the fact
GlobalStrike
that others like something you don’t so threatening to you? Agree to disagree.
tablecat
The problem is that he's spreading shittaste, when there's a lot of good anime to be recommended.
DamianWinters
No game no life is awesome, such beautiful art style and cool characters.
CamelSpotter
Watching GATE is a lot like playing Civilization and you're at war with a nation still using bows while you have tanks and helicopters.
Pseudosim
Its also pretty much little more than japanese ultra nationalist wank.
CamelSpotter
I find it hard to criticize them when we do that a lot with our movies. I figure I'd just let 'em have it.
Pseudosim
Point. I suppose I'm just really critical because it, among other things, feels like it ruined a promising premise.
BardOP
lol yep at least Ghandi hasn't shown up yet
WrongGif
omnipotentmonkey
except the story is punctuated by an AWFUL protagonist, a smattering of harem-bait and is blatant propaganda, seriously it's terrible.
acme64
meh, i enjoyed it.
CamelSpotter
I agree with that. The JSDF fights were basically the only draw the show had for me. I would love a comparable story without that clutter.
Pentel123
Amen. Mixing Modern world and fantasy can be very interesting
SeaKerman
Read The Salvation Wars. Basically, God turns out to be a douche, demons and angels vs modern military. Military kicks ass.
OmenRider
It had so much promise, I liked the idea of the fantasy king using the JSDF as a tool to wipe out his competition, but then it all (1/2)
OmenRider
(2/2) just fell completely flat. There was no suspense or originality; after ep 1 the only JSDF casualty shown was ONE arrow wound.
acme64
that sounds about right
MrInconspicuous
Don't whtch HxH. Watch HxH (2011). Op you're seriously overrating Tokyo ghoul. That shit is average af.
AnonMasterRace
I dunno. I prefer HxH (2016) the most. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
AnonMasterRace
So from a quick google I learned that if you don't know what i'm talking about you won't find out. Was talking about Masou Gakuen HxH.
IsolatedThinker
I've never seen TG, but looks like where edge lords go to pray.
MrInconspicuous
It's not even that edgy. Sure there's some gore but it's just so average. The story is ok and the majority of the characters have no depth
orangatuan
Was going to say the same thing about HxH 2011. The first caught up to the manga and kind of dried out. So 2011 goes further.
Mettalic21
I thought toyo ghoul was great, only thing i think was just ok was the ending :P But then again i haven't seen that much anime so...
Fyba
Talking about _/A (season 2) ending? That wasn't in the manga.
Blockronic
One of my favourites, why do you think it's average? I can't stop rewatching it
MrInconspicuous
A lot of generic characters imo.
DamianWinters
Tokyo ghoul is a great anime, people have different opinions/tastes.
APackOfExcitedGingers
The last couple of episodes of the first season were awesome though
GrouchyMarx
(Don't mean to alarm you, but average/bad anime is often the most popular anime. For example, Dragon Ball. It's bad even for a shonen.)
MDAlchemist
It...yeah it is. I loved Dragon ball Z growing up (thought I liked dragon ball better) tried to go back and watch it now, and I just can't.
Kelevra732
One Piece, if you watch 4 episodes simultaneously for 24 hours straight you could catch up in a week!
GrouchyMarx
Seriously, read the manga. The anime version is TERRIBLE. Quality varies, stretching is terrible and the fillers are bad and everywhere.
DamianWinters
One piece really doesn't have that much filler comparatively.
SIMPalaxy
MANGA MANGA MANGA PLEASE
GrouchyMarx
This. The manga is the only shonen I like, and at the same time one of my all time favorite manga. The anime is pretty terrible.
demonic
I started watching it when it was around 350 eps, I'm kinda ashamed how quick I caught up >.>
BardOP
lol aye i left that one off cause most have heard of it, been watching it since it started love it ^^
overlordchris666
Took a break when he was fighting Buggy, thought it was silly show, came back when they were entering the grand line. Picks up from there.
BardOP
all about the time skip, ramps stuff up alot
overlordchris666
Luckily I have Funimation and benged watched everthing from Grand Line, to Current. Need to watch the movies now.
bryanew710
Good thoughts about Cowboy Bebop's excellent English dub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S3oT9lzMh8
sircowdog
I will always upvote Cowboy Bebop's english VA. Edward especially.
booksyarntea
Bebop is one of the few series I prefer the dub over the sub.
rafaelfy
Bebop, FMA, Samurai Champloo, Pokemon.
ThatTankGuy
baccano is great is dub aswell
GrouchyMarx
Meh, I still prefer it subbed. If Cowboy Bebop is the best that dubbed anime has to offer, I'm unimpressed. But each to their own, I guess.
srsgiraffe
Another great one is Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
DevilsAdvocate99
Agreed. Something about the voices stuck with me after adult swim. Had a hard time watching in subbed.
booksyarntea
I thought the voice acting for the dub better matched the personalities of the characters vs. the original voice acting.
sorrycannotbraintoday
watch it dubbed with subs on, there are some pretty big translation mish mashes xD
bryanew710
Me, too...by a long shot.
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
Dragon Ball. Seriously, Goku/Gohan voices drive me fucking nuts in sub.
Fweeblies
Jfc this
SiIverSoul
expect most characters and scenes sound/look fucking awful. Syncing and everything. That being said, Goku and Vegeta are good picks.
GemsAreOutrageousTrulyTrulyTrulyOutrageous
I like the voice for Vegeta in sub, but not Goku/Gohan. So annoying.
SiIverSoul
they are same actor I believe :D I like sub cuz majority are so great. Granted, watched dubbed as a child
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
I like the manga better for Gate and Tokyo Ghoul, Drifters follows the manga exactly so it's the same, the rest are better enjoyed as Anime
BrightSideOLife
I'd take One Punch Man manga over anime any day
kojenk
Man they completely cut out the fox girl and glasses guy relationship development after they near-fatally injured each other
kojenk
Which was a bit pissing off because quite a few previous scenes were overextended or filler. They could have fit it in there.
PirateQuiche
No way i love Jojo and HxH originals. I doubt the animes can be better. Maybe for Trigun. Maybe.
SocialMediaMakesUsLessSocial
I've wondered whats the point of adapting a manga or LN into an anime if the fans generally share the consensus that the original is better
bobbobogaming
I just hope Tokyo Ghoul season 3 makes better on the manga than season 2 did
Senguie
I love Boku no Hero more as a manga.
DatDarthCaedus
Must say I prefer certain GATE character designs in the anime over manga though: https://i.redd.it/rxr4hmai0o101.jpg
kojenk
Thag makes so much more sense given her personality
kojenk
Bit of rob liefield chest going on in that middle image though.
JaceCameron
There is a manga for gate? How haremy is it? That started to turn me off of the show some.
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
The harem element exists but it's seems very muted, The manga takes a darker tone as well. It's a Seinen target audience instead of Shounen
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
Note it's mature so there's nudity and more graphic violence. It's not erotic nudity though mostly just like 'hey this sex slave has nipples
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
Instead of pretending that the 3 strings left unripped on her shirt like to stay exactly in place as she's beaten.
Demonface54
Where does one find said Tokyo Ghoul manga? Preferably free
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
">re.co">Mangahere.co or Bato.to if you don't mind making an account
PardusXY
Just ignore season 2 of ghoul.
SnarkyScience
I️ liked it. I️ just wanted more.
PardusXY
Yeah, it’s like when someone who doesn’t understand the content tries to make more of it, and makes something superficial.
ImAbitParched

OstravaOfBoletaria
JoJo is not better in Anime.
lawnsprinkler
Agreed but the anime is by no means bad. In my opinion
OstravaOfBoletaria
Agreed.
SLAANESHonNSFWposts
Note* Trigun Maximum is a manga series that picks up after the show's story arc and went on for like ten years if you want more after
Felcatinvoid
daamn, didn't know it existed, thanks a lot.
Sedral
chaos dot!
SkyrimForTheDragons
Thanks, Slaanesh.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
Thank you!
Demicol
Tokyo Ghoul anime was garbage compared to the manga. They just made it a generic action show and moved all the scenes around ruining them.
HackerUnicorn
And how are they gonna fix the s2 for s3? There are characters that were killed in the Anime but in the manga they are still alive.
Fyba
I would imagine a FMA situation where they just have Tokyo Ghoul _/A be its own independant story, but have another based on the manga.
Demicol
Afaik S2 is anime-original isn't it? They could just do like Blue Exorcist and pretend the anime-original content didn't happen.
BardOP
aye, agree with you completely still looking forward to more of gate and Tokyo ghoul at some point hopefully
WaxForBrains
Dude is dead.

boobyboobyboobyboo
I didn't think Tokyo ghoul anime was amazing. Feel like it tried too hard to be one of those stand out anime. Also...
boobyboobyboobyboo
The fight scenes were too fast to follow unless slowed down. I didn't really know what was happening.
ontheinternetnooneknowsyourapotato
I LOVE season 1 but season 2 was awful.
boobyboobyboobyboo
Yeah s1 was really good. I liked both seasons but then again I didn't read the manga.
