    I’m legally obliged to mention Haikyuu here, incredibly wholesome and the closest thing to sexualisation is a single midly questionable camera angle in one of the first episodes.

    Yesterday I would have recommended Blue Eye Samurai because the first several episodes were lightning in a bottle. Unfortunately I watched the finale last night and it was such incredible trash that it ruined the entire show.

    There’s a lot of terrible anime, but there’s also a lot of fantastic anime. There’s a lot of anime.

    Can’t remember the name. Hero wakes up to find himself in a strange city where the skyscrapers are connected by rope bridges and guarded by strange, masked killers. First couple of episodes get me hooked. Then they bring in a teenage girl and suddenly there are just so many panty shots…

    “High-Rise Invasion

    The Fable. It’s set in the real world and it’s about a Yakuza assassin and his handler being made to live a normal life for a year to lie low. The whole thing is on Hulu.

    Haven’t seen any Ranking of Kings, I thought it was cool, in a twisted fairytale with weird bullshit kind of way.

    Harsh world, some very tortured characters doing terrible things, and the most harmless kind-hearted protagonist you could imagine just winning over and redeeming everyone.

    Don’t watch the spin-off series though, it’s uninspired filler episode shit.

      As a kid I did enjoy Dunderklumpen! but I don’t think it holds up pretty well

    Silent voice, your name, weathering with you

    and everything from studio ghibli obviously (I personally love porco rosso)

    I honestly only look this kind. The rest is just bad and tries to cache it with fanservice.

      My father (~45) and I (~8) both fell in love with Ghibli (indistinctly remember my dad seeing Nausicaa on TV guide and saying “if it’s ghibli I’m not missing it”) after watching Spirited Away on Cartoon Network one random night in 2004 or so. Over the next 12 years I’d watch most of the rest of their catalogue & even visit their museum in Japan, but had yet to see PR until my birthday one year someone got it for me

      I was NOT ready for that movie being what it was, nor the amazingly hard “better a pig than a fascist” line, and it’s my favorite from them and has been since
