Are there any animes or TV shows you can’t stop recommending?

    Made in Abyss - really good but definitely not for the faint hearted and I only recommend this to people who ask me for dark anime with a disclaimer on the more questionable content. The version I watched was the heavily censored one. I was surprised to find out that the creator is Akihito Tsukushi, the same person who did the designs for the Elebits games! Of course, I’m separating the art from the artist here, but his name popping up made me nostalgic in a way.

    Neon Genesis Evangelion - If you like biblically accurate angels, this is the anime for you!

    Cowboy Bebop - has a very likeable main cast, an artstyle that I find very appealing, and it touches on themes that a lot of people can relate to despite the sci-fi setting!

    Scavengers Reign - this one’s pretty trippy and has some great creature designs! It only has one season so far (curse ye, Max!)

      I cant get past the loli/shota grossness at the start of Made in Abyss. I’d be embarrassed to recommend that to anyone.

      Edit: Apparently not just at the beginning? Disgusting either way.

        It’s not getting better. Such a great concept and art destroyed by a pedo mangaka (well it wouldn’t exist without him but still)

          There’s so many works I’ve seen that I wish were created by someone other than their author/studio.

          Mild example: Yesterday, a clip from an anime popped up in my Shorts feed, and it looked cool so I went to the comments to see if I could find the name. Right at the top, I see a comment I left saying “Don’t watch this, everything after episode 1 was incredibly mid. The plot sounds awesome when you describe it but in execution it was so fucking bland”. I don’t even remember leaving that comment.

          (The anime in question was Daily Life of Immortal King. Protag is born with Ultra Instinct and only gets more powerful over time, so his family puts a magic seal on him to keep his power at the mere ultra-instinct he was born at. The anime follows him as he tries to keep a low profile at Xianxia hero school.)

          I was told by others that it was only at the beginning and to give it another shot, but I was too skeeved out to keep going. Good to know I made the right call and avoided that pedo shit.

            The manga is worse. Ive read and watched a lot of anime and manga. Made in the abyss is almost the most fucked up you can get.

              Haven’t read the manga as comic books don’t interest me all that much, the anime definitely has some questionable things in it but if you can look past that the whole concept of the abyss and the creature designs are great. The design of the turbinid dragons are one of the best I’ve seen!

                Oh dont get me wrong, i did stop reading it but i watched all the anime and would probably continue it. The third movie i have rated as a 10 because it was just sooooo goooood. Fucked up for real tho.
