https://rentry.co/waluwigitwicebad

At this point the animes I tried to watch and didn't like are in the hundreds right now probably, and the ones I used to watch like 4 years ago I don't think I'd have the patience to watch them now, I thought about posting here out desperation, because I can't find anyting.
the animes that I would always like are: Attack on titan. Death note, Monster, vinland saga, so maybe something like this.
Animes I've watched but I wouldn't watch them now because I cringe non stop every episode:
Naruto, Bleach, Nanatsu no taiza, demon slayer s1, JJK s1, full metal alchemist, kuroko no basket,gintama, a lot of HunterxHunter even though I like it overall, Code Geas.....
I like anime, and I can tolerate a certain amount of cringe and power of friendship that all japanese animations have but it seems like every new anime is directed into 12 year olds now, should I just quit watching anime?

Ok, here I go. A vampire anime 90s, more like a scene like befor. A boy and a girl ( I think she's a vampire and the boy is a simple village boy)by a river at the night, the boy confess his love to her and she's scared her family will found out. He family are vampires who lived next to the boy's village, the scene cuts to them saying they want to stop by the village at night. And then the scene change to a woman who came back to her husband and I think she was being fed off by the girls vampire family....

The start was following the mc who saved the world from ending in hong kong then was forced to retire from his injuries. He know lives with his family Im pretty sure it was his sister and dad, now the powers are only accessible to girls and when a huge threat came they were all forced to evacuate but while finding for his sister (I think im not sure but he split up with his family) he got mixed up in the fight causing him to meet a group of girls who are trying to fight it he then tries to pair with a goddess(Im not sure) it works then he soon becomes one of them and fends of these monsters.

Have you even been spoiled on a anime or manga series and was glad you were because it either goes in a direction you didn't like or just went to crap ?

The 1982 anime Mahou no Princess Minky Momo (Magic Princess Minky Momo) is a well-known for its infamous and shocking ending, especially given that it was intended as a lighthearted children's show.

The show follows Minky Momo, a magical princess from a dreamland who comes to Earth to help people and spread happiness. She transforms into an adult version of herself to use her magical powers, and each episode usually involves her helping someone with a problem in their life. While it has a similar tone to other "magical girl" shows, Minky Momo also has some darker, more introspective episodes, making it unique among children's shows of its era.

I) The Cursed Ending: Minky Momo's Death:

The final episode of Mahou no Princess Minky Momo took a turn no one expected. Minky Momo is suddenly hit by a truck while trying to save a dog. The episode shows her passing away, with her magical pendant falling to the ground. Later, her spirit appears to reassure her parents, hinting that she may reincarnate in another form.

II) Why Such a Dark Ending?

1. Merchandise and Rating Issues: At the time, the show’s merchandise wasn't selling as well as the production team hoped, and there was some frustration over ratings. Some believe that Minky Momo’s ending was a response to the difficulties in the anime industry, as a sort of commentary or even retaliation against the toy companies that often dictated how magical girl shows were structured for better sales.

2. Breaking Conventions: The creators wanted to subvert typical expectations for a children's show, creating a more lasting and memorable impact. By adding a tragic ending, they differentiated Minky Momo from other magical girl series, giving it a bittersweet or even haunting quality that would resonate with viewers, even if they were children.

3. Symbolism and Rebirth: In Japanese culture, themes of rebirth and transformation are common, and this could have been the creators’ way of symbolizing that Minky Momo’s spirit would continue to exist in a different form. In fact, later Minky Momo series revisited the character with a new incarnation of Momo, suggesting a kind of "rebirth" of the original character.

III) The urban legend of "the Curse of Minky Momo":

The curse allegedly originated from a series of tragic events coinciding with the airing of specific episodes of the show.

According to the legend, four earthquakes struck Japan in succession, all occurring in areas where episode 46 of Magical Princess Minky Momo aired. This episode features Minky Momo’s death, where she is struck by a truck carrying toys. The coincidences continued with the airing of the true final episode on May 26, 1983, which coincided with the Sea of Japan earthquake, resulting in 104 casualties and 324 injuries.

Another notable coincidence occurred on January 15, 1995, when the finale aired after a series of reruns and was followed by the Kōbe (Great Hanshin Disaster) earthquake, which killed 6,000 people and left 45,000 homeless.

Some believe that Minky Momo’s soul was freed from her show and her anger over her forced death causes bad things to happen whenever her death is aired. Others speculate that the curse is a result of the toy company, Popy, pulling funding for the merchandise, leading to a series of unfortunate events.

The Curse of Minky Momo has become a popular urban legend in Japan, with some even joking that Minky Momo’s spirit took revenge on reality. The legend has also inspired creative works, such as a fake Urban Legend about saying “Minky Momo” in a mirror three times at 3am, which supposedly transports you to a Bad Future where Harmony Gold owns the rights to Dragon Ball.

(This is the clip that started it all. https://youtu.be/jnYy6uoieFo?si=0WjQBgL7EhlkS0FU )

The Curse of Minky Momo remains an intriguing and unsettling urban legend, with its coincidences and tragic events continuing to captivate audiences. While the true nature of the curse remains unclear, it serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and the human tendency to seek meaning in seemingly random events.

Ive been watching 200+ anime, but I only recently watched my first romance anime and got instantly hooked. In the last 2-3 months ive binged a lot of romance and wanted to make a list of the ones ive watched so far.

Hi Are there any animes like JJBA? Like storywise, or just any really good Anime you can watch for a long time. I've just found nothing as good as JJBA yet, and so I just keep watching it. I've seen a lot of newgen animes, and nothing really hits.

(repost since I had to discuss with mods here to potentially host this rewatch at such short notice, starting in just 3 days from now...read on to see why!)

https://preview.redd.it/37zjj1ae1pyd1.jpg?width=2399&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83a1eb2832487f395c5ba1a2d3681729bec7a223

The most amazing story you will ever see as 5 teenage girls - with perhaps not even a single high school graduate in between - takes on the whole world alone with a guitar, a bass, a keyboard, a drum set and the angry voices of a stubborn girl.

This is not your usual rewatch thread - it's seasonal discussion round 2

Despite watching anime regularly for several years, I have actually rewatched an anime series aired on TV or the web just once before, and it was merely several months ago when I cannot help but join the rewatch of my own anime of the year of 2023, when it literally exploded among some anime fans here from absolutely nowhere and left me jaw-open while being one of extremely few people following it in the hot summer of '23.

Merely days after it ended, I bumped into another anime story that would end up stunning me every week again. A tale of growth, fight against "nominal", dreams and stubbornness and perseverance and anger and love. And of course, music.

This time around, there was quite a few more people following it just this spring and has won real acclaim among those who did.

Yet for all the noises it left, Girls Band Cry had the dubious title of being perhaps the biggest miss in anime in-season broadcasting outside of Japan in recent years. In what seems to be an absolutely baffling self-choice of overseas licensing by producer Toei, unlike ~99.9% of seasonal anime that's not aimed at kids in the 2020s, almost no-one had got the license to air it outside while this sensational anime aired on TV this spring.

And for the English-speaking side of Planet Earth, there was no legal way to watch it at all for months - while its acclaim snowballed to the point that our MCs literally swept our sub-reddit's Best Girl competition this spring (!!!) - and even when paths finally appeared in August, it was in the most bizarre distribution method I have ever seen of any home entertainment video releases.

But the stubbornness of making noises - like our girls in the story - eventually paid off, as the show finally make its way onto various streaming sites across the majority of the globe, more than half a year too late. This includes the hugely popular Crunchyroll, finally anticipated for the 6th of November. (In my corner of Earth of eastern Asia it's literally 2 days ago)

This is exactly why I'm trying to look for interest in organizing a rewatch of an anime that only aired 2 seasons ago, when I am a person who even almost never rewatch an anime at all. It is less of a rewatch than to organize a special "crash course" discussion session for those who are interested in Girls Band Cry, but prefer sticking to the legal and easy way to watch anime via Crunchyroll - which I assume is actually the absolute majority of watchers here, who would not think of other ways to do so. It's a situation that I think deserves a second round of episode discussions for those who missed out on this gem earlier because they don't even know where and how to watch it.

Of course, this rewatch will only work if there's enough interest in doing another round of discussions between new watchers and those who are looping the story again and again, so please comment on this if you are interested!

What is Girls Band Cry?

(synopsis courtesy of MAL Rewrite)

Everyone yearns to find their true purpose in life. This is also true for Nina Iseri, a 17-year-old girl looking to enroll in a good university, but the world always seems to work against her. On her very first day in Tokyo, she gets lost, ignored, and locked out of her new apartment. However, an unexpected opportunity arises when Nina meets Momoka Kawaragi, one of her favorite guitarists.

After Nina joins Momoka for a street performance, Momoka decides they should start a band together. While Nina initially hesitates, her determination grows as they start acquiring more bandmates—the beautiful drummer Subaru Awa, the aloof keyboardist Tomo Ebizuka, and the intelligent bassist Rupa. The five girls face challenges both in the music industry and within themselves, but their shared passion for music never lets them give up on their dreams.

Girls Band Cry is a 13-episode seasonal anime from long-time animation producer Toei Animation, a rare brand-new attempt off its beaten path to try out a "mixed multimedia" project centered around a new girls band. Tadashi Hirayama, formerly of studio Sunrise, thought up of such a project just after his company move in 2019 based on his producer experience in the insanely successful "the" idol anime project Love Live (both the original School Idol Project and its series sequel Sunshine). He brought along Love Live Sunshine's director Kazuo Sakai and main script writer Jukki Hanada - the latter one of the best currently active in the anime industry with an insane work portfolio - and the project was born.

Toei certainly take their time in the project, announcing an audition for band players back in June 2021 specifying plans of a band anime by them later, then officially announcing Girls Band Cry in April-May 2023.

It's worth mentioning that unlike similar "mixed media projects" with live performances as half of the attraction such as BanG Dream!, all 5 VAs/real life band members are complete rookies to voice acting - in fact vocalist Rina (as Nina Iseri) is barely 16 years old! Despite their young ages, they already have 3 live concerts so far - including a very well received one literally yesterday - and several other guest performances, with more to come including overseas performances in China etc. and an upcoming collaboration concert with the band from that very anime that I rewatched this March!

How is the rewatch format?

Just treat this as a seasonal anime's discussion thread and comment in ways whatever you like, except that I plan to go through the show one episode every day (if you think this warrants a slower watch schedule, feel free to comment!). However, since some people like me may have already finished the show, for those who did, please treat yourself as if you have "read the source material" and spoiler tag everything that happened beyond the episode in discussion, using r/anime's spoiler tag format, so as to not ruin the first-timers' experience.

For example:

[Girls Band Cry]>!Nina!!! Momoka!!!!<

becomes [Girls Band Cry]>!Nina!!! Momoka!!!!<.

I would also suggest mentioning at the top of your comment whether you are a First Time Watcher or Re-watcher for easy discussion between these two groups.

As the episodes are going to be dropped in one go (as far as I understand), you may watch the episodes each day on your own schedule, and come to the episode discussions after the threads get posted!

What's the schedule?

I know that most rewatches are planned like a month or even more in advance, but this is more of an emergency session with Crunchyroll's licensing deal only announced 10 days ago. I am planning to start with episode 1 coinciding with Girls Band Cry's Crunchyroll release on November 6th, ending with an overall discussion thread on November 19th. I intend to post the threads each day at 23:30 UTC/6:30 pm EST.

If there's enough interest in this re-watch (I think maybe at least a dozen people expressing firm interest in joining, preferably much more than 20), I will post the confirmation and 24 hours reminder thread on November 5th.

Where can I watch this show?

Girls Band Cry is planned to be available for streaming on Crunchyroll on November 6th - be sure to check out the episode threads for that link.

If you really want to get ahead to watch it now, you may, uh, try out the exotic paths of buying (yes) the show out via, uh, The Microsoft Store, or Amazon Prime, or Hoopla, or Fandango At Home.

Other streaming platforms are available for some corners of the globe (e.g. eastern Asia or France), you may check LiveChart to see if it lists anything else in your region.

In the meantime, be happy, be angry, be rock and roll, and most importantly, be yourself!

I have searched for that info, but couldn't find it anywhere

Hey everyone, as I said in the title, I want anime/manga with fashionable characters. I watched Yu yu hakusho and Jojo both which present fashionable characters. I also read mangas such as Veil, Jojo until now. I'm especially a big fan of Bleach's fashion panels. If you know any anime that gives importance to fashion, please reccommend it to me. Thanks!

I remember watching a show but not what it's called, the 2 main characters are a white guy like an older teen with a massive sword, the girl had some kind of amnesia & always carried some kind of toy or animal. They were on a quest to beat this bad guy & had to beat all the underlings on the way, one of which could manipulate silver & used silver rosary style beads & changed them into whatever he wanted. I think he ended up joining the good guys as like an anti-hero type. Does anyone know what this anime was called or have any recollection of it? TIA

So I remember seeing either a clip or something about anime where wither bunch of steam robots or steam power armor people raid a fancy looking building(something like 19th century) with people that had that 19th century style you know a tophat. If anyone can help it would be nice

as the title says

a example is anime like Space Battleship Tiramisu that is 7 min long anime. It is a comedy anime that gave me regular show vibes. it is somewhat episodic and story is about Subaru and his daily life as mech pilot. It have 6.37 rating on mal. I enjoyed the short and compact story it had, but feel like it got that rating because of how short it is. I gave it 8

I bought this years ago on eBay. Kind of forget about it 😞 Does anyone know what exactly this sketch is? It appears to be hand drawn with a accompanied scene outline.

I'm not familiar or knowledgeable enough when it comes to Anime cells or sketches. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Inspired by my apparently controversial opinion that OddTaxi doesn't deserve the #76 spot, what do you think does not deserve to be there? What would you replace it with?

https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php

I enjoy watching rom-coms, but idk where else to watch. My favorite 3 were:

1.) Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop

2.) A Whisker Away

3.) Your Name

I also watched others but those had stricken me most fancy, for I enjoyed them the most. They don't have to be movies like the ones listed above, I especially enjoyed Komi Can't Communicate a lot... I have access to all streaming platforms and I'm trying to find some entertaining stuff whilst I look for a job.

If it helps, other anime I have watched/currently watching is:

One Piece

MHA

Garden of Words

Voltron: Legendary Defender

My Deer Friend Nokotan

Jujutsu Kaisen

Hunter X Hunter (loved it btw)

I'd also like it Dubbed... Y'all can hate me all y'all want for that I just enjoy not having to read a show instead of watching it.

I watch a lot of Anime on Crunchyroll and love Bleach so bought Disney+, it is however quite expensive to just watch one show once a week…

Are there any other decent Anime worth watching on there? I don’t mind the genre. Any recommendations would be highly appreciated :)

Mostly asking about the ones that do appear to use "camera movement" and other framing you would see in movies like 86 for example. Also know there are tons of anime movies that fit but trying to thing of a longer list of series.

So I just started watching ouran high school host club and everything about it made me so oddly nostalgic, like from the art style and humour down to how the ‘Next Episode’ previews are narrated and even the aspect ratio.

Weirdly enough I think it reminds me of the first seasons of Pokémon, with this sort of “flat” and generally less detailed art style

Any anime that feel somewhat similar would be appreciated, even better if it’s something lighthearted and fun
