    Any anime with truly unexpected deaths? (spoilers obviously)

    Not talking about characters dying at major events or in the final arc (where there's regularly a few that die). But at really unexpected moments. Like heroes going through a personal trial or something and instead of each of them overcoming it, 1 of them actually fails and dies. Or maybe some harem one where 1 or some of the members actually die.

    I can think of 2 examples of deaths I thought were really unexpected. One of them was at the end of season 1 of Code Geass. I still think it was kinda bs it happened 'by accident', but it was truly unexpected. And another one for Hunter X Hunter, early in the chimera-ant arc. I think few expected those 2 to die, especially such brutal deaths. And not only did they die most unexpectedly, but it ended up giving the enemy a major advantage in knowledge. There's probably a few more that I can't think of right now. Ah wait, there's also the unexpected death towards the end of Akame Ga Kill (at least it was very unexpected to me, even though practically every other death was expected).

    Anyway, you guys know of anime with really unexpected deaths like that? The kind of death you really don't see coming because the characters may seem to have a plot shield. Doesn't have to be a major character per se, but obviously also not totally insignificant (since insignificant characters generally do not have a plot shield).

    Help me find what anime this was

    A few years ago I watched this anime on Netflix, and I’ve forgotten the name!! T-T

    All I remember is that it was about a little boy and girl— who was getting supposedly abused at home. The last scene I remember is he took her to a museum? I think a dinosaur one. Also something might have happened with the guy giving her like red gloves? Or something?

    please if you know the name lmk!!

    Looking for something new on Hulu/Netflix

    So I just finished watching how a realist hero rebuilt the kingdom. It was so good I watched it in practically one sitting. I am looking for something similar or better. I’m really into good story lines Here are some others that I watched. HxH. SAO. Akame ga kill. Mobile suit gundam: IBO. Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon. Inuyasha. Angel beats. Samurai shamploo.

    Hoping y’all can give me some good recommendations. Please nothing overly sexual. Some is ok but I’m sure y’all know what i mean.

    Thanks in advance.

    Animes like sonny boy

    Hi!
    I know that question is very specific, particularly because not many people have watched sonny boy (I think?) but I still wanted to try it: does anyone know any animes that are like sonny boy? That are as complicated and just, so different from any other anime, like sonny boy is?
    For those who have not watched it, can you guys just recommend me any animes that are something completely new or have an extreme complicated story that you have to, well to some degree ofc., interpret for yourself?

    Suggestions for stuff that WILL make me cry?

    Recommendations for sad, yet realistic romances that will leave me crying at like 2 am?

    I'm tryna find animes that can give me a similar feeling as [Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai], [Plastic Memories], [Quintessential Quintuplets], [Domestic Girlfriend], etc.

    But it's hard.

    Either their at times TOO slow, or, the issues aren't as serious or "dealt with" in a more realistic way as in the ones I mentioned.

    As for movies, I've seen [A Silent Voice] and [I Want To Eat Your Pancreas]

    Ive tried to watch [Your Lie In April] but it felt slow, and the music aspect really got boring for me.

    Loved: Solo Leveling, Chainsaw Man, Demon Slayer, Hells Paradise - What next?

    Would appreciate any suggestions, im like an oldschool Dragon Ball fan.
    I never could arrange with Avatar, Naruto and One Piece somehow.
    Also Jujutsu Kaisen was (maybe S1?) boring to me.

    I really loved and still love Solo Leveling like crazy.
    Its like combines Anime love, Gaming love and main character is just a cool dude.

    I also enjoyed Chainsaw Man a load, so Hells Paradise (sadly S2 in 2026....)
    Ofc also Demon Slayer was super good.

    Any more tipps or gems for me?
    Thanks <3

    Lets talk about Golden time

    I am currently working on a video on golden time. Personally don't like this anime. In my opinion the First half was good they had nice relationship, yeah there were some forced drama in first half , like there were lots of misunderstanding but it was not that absurd. Then when the second half started it went from slice life, drama, romance to mystery, paranormal, romance. I never got why that shift happened and i hated that shift since it felt forced. Also half of drama felt like "I will misunderstand this because I am college guy type shit"

    The reason I am making this post is because I am kind of biased, I never liked this anime. And to make based review on something Is not my niche. I want to understand why people like it so much and why I might be wrong with my judgement of this show. I am open to hearing your opinions.

    Edit :-

    Mate I say I am open to hearing your opinion. But I am seeing more hate about this anime then love. Can you tell me why it's good not why it's bad.

    for a specific scene in Monster (early episode, involving Margot Langer)

    Hi! I'm looking for a specific scene from the anime Monster. It’s an early scene in one of the episodes where one of the main characters is searching for Margot Langer. There’s a brief moment with partial nudity or a scene set in a red-light district. I’ve been trying to find the exact episode and timestamp but haven’t had any luck. Can anyone help me identify the episode or the specific scene?

    As anime fans, we also tend to love a lot of anime music, the openings and closings and such. But honestly, not all anime music are bangers. Not even close.

    Sure, most of the more popular big-named anime tend to have amazing openings and closings, no doubt. Heck, there are a plethora of "anime reaction" channels on youtube that get their start by reacting to things like "Best anime openings from fall 2024", and like its only about 10 songs, when there's definitely a LOT more anime that come out per season. Did you ever wonder about the anime that you don't watch or probably wouldn't ever be interested in, if they have good music too?

    Well, dont.

    So I often just download just whole packs of music from series that I like so I can bring the songs along with me, and lately some of the packs of music I get have so many songs, I find myself curating the music as say, I'm driving for instance. If I dont like a song, I'll just delete it. A few weeks ago I downloaded a pack of every anime opening and closing song from all of the 2024 anime released. It was a LOT of songs. 622 of them to be exact. Some anime had multiple openings and closings this past year.

    I'm pretty picky when I curate my music before I end up sorting the "keepers". Well, I have to now say after the first full listen of 622 songs, I've now deleted 522 of them. And I'm sure as I re-listen to the 100 that I'm keeping for now, I'll probably cull those down even further!

    What are some of the anime that you've watched this year that just didn't have good openings and closing songs?
