POST YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NEW OP

ANIME REACTION IMAGE DATABASE

Never noticed the staymoe bit before :lol:

You got first post so you named the new thread. Congrats. :toot:

I wanted to put together a more representative list of recommendations for the OP. Can we all post some recs of our favourite shows / manga, so I can compile them? :wub:

The Shokugeki no Souma manga is really good, not watched the anime. Same goes for Prison School (Kangoku Gakuen) although I was a bit dissapointed by the ending.

After watching it recently I'd definitely recommend Star Blazers / Space Battleship Yamamoto 2199 in the Sci-Fi category.

And it might be an oldie, but under the same category I'd recommend Outlaw Star.

As a relative newcomer to manga, I'd recommend Death Note (I read and thoroughly enjoyed it) and Tokyo Ghoul (I'm currently reading it) to fellow newbies.

The obvious Manga and Anime recommendation for EVERYONE. is....

JOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Best thread title :toot:

Things I've watched a good chunk of and really, really enjoyed: Rouruni Kenshin (Netflix has the superior Bang Zoom/Media Blasters dub - There's another dub by Sony and it's *bad*), Hunter x Hunter (2011), My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, Space Dandy, Tonari no Seki-kun, Please Tell Me! Galko-chan, A Silent Voice, Kakegurui, Attack on Titan (s1), Onihei.

Here are some recs.

Kemono Friends -- A serval cat goes on an adventure with her new friend - who has forgotten what her own species is - through the giant, dilapidated "Japari Park" zoo. One of the biggest animes of all time in Japan, this was largely overlooked in the West due to its janky animation. | Kemono Friends is my favourite anime because of its fantastic world-building, which juxtaposes the innocent, moe animals with the creepy post-apocalyptic world they inhabit. Also, cute implied yuri.

Love Live! & Love Live! Sunshine!! -- An upbeat, light-hearted comedy/drama/musical about a group of high-schoolers who decide to enter a national singing competition in order to promote their school, which is in danger of closing. | I love the Love Live! series because it presents mostly-straight-faced a completely fantastical, surreal world which seems to literally revolve entirely around a high-school talent contest, filled with bizarre and wonderful characters who interact in moe, uplifting ways. It's a "media project" and I'm quite into the seiyuu, the music, and the games too. Also, cute implied yuri.

Nichijou -- The everyday life of a child genius, her clockwork robot, their talking cat, and the weird kids and teachers at the nearby school. | Nichijou is the best surrealist comedy I've ever seen, combining truly bizarre locales and situations with thoroughly likeable weirdos and incredible ultra-stylised animation. Also, cute implied yuri.

Saki & Saki: The Nationals -- A high-school Mahjong club discover they have supernatural Mahjong powers, and go to a tournament to face other Mahjong "monsters". | The premise of this anime is hilarious, and it's executed perfectly: completely over-the-top yet mostly told with a straight face. Also, cute implied yuri.

I wish Mahjong were really like this.

F.A.Q.
Q. Why do all of your recommendations have cute implied yuri?
A.

If you prefer more action and violence in your anime then you might like the following:

My Hero Academia
Rorouni Kenshin

You may want to check Onihei out (available on Amazon Prime). And I haven't seen these all the way through, but they fall into the action genre and have good reputations: Samurai Champloo, Black Lagoon.

New Anime Thread!

For comedy, a really good more recent one is Nourin...

Also why is Lucky Star in the Staydead group and not Slice of Life?

Also why is there no recommendation for Eiken Club?!

Also can't forget to post out commemorative photo from the last thread...

Clearly got me and Karl the wrong way around there.
