This show has become legendary in the Chinese community. During its broadcast, I often saw people discussing it online, especially this phrase: Why play 'Kasumi Kage'?(春日影) Pairing the first half of this line with other memes through edited videos or images has created some incredible chemistry. The community has produced a huge number of MyGO-related works using this method.
Band-themed anime wasn’t really my thing, so I intentionally overlooked it. It turns out I missed out on a shining gem. During a recent rewatch, a friend with a wealth of life experience reminded me of a human trait: We are never satisfied. Enjoy the present! Now I have another chance…
To both newcomers and returning viewers: Welcome! As for the rewatch schedule, I’ll do my best to strike a balance for both groups.

If you've ever been in a band or enjoy anime about bands, you'll find it easy to get into this one.
The heart of this anime lies in its storyline. If you can untangle the complex relationships and immerse yourself in them, you'll be eager to see what unpredictable events the next episode brings.
Other features: This anime reaches its peak when exploring the darker sides of these girls' personalities. I’m not sure if that’s a strength or a weakness, but don’t expect a typical idol anime where perfect girls achieve success through hard work.

You know the ones—where the chemistry is so real, the characters pull you in, and for those couple of hours, you’re right there in the feels, swooning, crying, and smiling like a lovesick fool.
What movie/anime does that for you every time?
With the vast array of shows set in the virtual world, it was inevitable for Gundam to dip its toes into the digital world. The results speak for themselves, another kid show made to sell model kits, a show with a unique idea of the virtual world, and a show that's disliked by the majority of the Gundam fanbase for merely existing. I honestly don't really share the same amount of malice towards this show as it doesn't really have anything that bugs the hell out of me personally. I think I tolerate this show a lot more than everyone else due to the mere fact that it's actually trying to be different. There's stuff I like, minor flaws that don't bug me one bit, and just stuff I genuinely prefer over the other shows. While I doubt I'll convince anyone that this show is not as bad as they make it out to be, this is more for me as I look back at why I tolerate this more than the last 2 shows.

I'm not big into anime. Someone named it as an honorable mention in a "Best movies of 2023" video. I liked the poster and the general vibe it gave.
I don't care what anyone says, to me it was perfect. The writing, animation, length, characters. Yes, it was cheesy at times but it was good cheese.
Anything similar? Both in theme and content but also length. Ideally movie length. Or series with a total length in the single digit of hours.
Thanks for any suggestions.
For danganronpa I have seen the anime for the first game. I tried to watch danganronpa 3 despair arc but it did not make sense to me.
I have played danganronpa 2 and ultra despair girls. I then tried to watch despair arc again + future arc but gave up after the first 2 eps because it still wasn’t making sense to me.
I have played danganronpa v3.
I haven’t touched the anime again because I don’t understand it. Do I need to watch the anime? Am I missing out on something?
I thought nothing would be better than Dandadan this fall season but Orb mannn😭😭😭, I'm only on ep 9 but i was bawling my eyes out in the end. But I've yet to see another like ep 3 ( a genuine masterpiece of an ep in character driven story telling ) The way every new character is introduced with different life experiences, ages, ideals, goals and beliefs and then converse with each other making an impact on their ideologies is a treat to watch every ep.
yo, i've already watched almost all the trashy op isekai masterpieces. i'm looking for a new one, one where the mc is so overconfident it's enough to make the show's plot ignorable in a way. preferably magic-based aswell.
side note since i know some of you are gonna suggest this; I've already watched Misfit Of The Demon King Academy & Demon King Daimao
Youkai Gakkou no Sensei Hajimemashita!, episode 11

So I still haven’t finished full metal alchemist.
And I was planning on seeing 86 next since people said it was peak.
But then Pluto and freien came out and that was said to be peak as well.
Now it’s DanDan.
There’s also a couple 2024 romance anime that people said the manga is the best romance anime of all time.
Like I find it very hard to keep track of all these shows and add it to my watch list.
How are people finding all of these show? Cus I really don’t want to miss out on some Peak show that would go overshadowed by next years Peak shows.
Is using myanimelist and filtering by year and season a good way to keep track of all the good anime in the year?
It seems like complete adaptations like Monster don’t happen anymore.
We just get 12-24 episode seasons.
Why did they make this change? And when did this transition occur from complete manga adaptions like monster to 12 episode seasons?
I have seen a lot of anime... a lot... and personally I am fed of the seeing the same stuff over and over again such as loner mc, high schools, the goddamn cicadas, so I was curious to know what tropes and stuff other people are fed up of.
Hey, fellow anime fans! Anime is known for its mind-blowing plot twists, and I'm curious to hear from you all, what anime plot twist completely took you by surprise? Whether it was a shocking character reveal, an unexpected turn of events, or something that completely changed your perspective on the story, let's talk about those moments that left you in awe. Feel free to share which anime it was from and what such jaw-dropping moments for you!
86 has been a wild ride from start to finish, and A-1 Pictures did an excellent job adapting the source material (I won’t read the LN). It seems that the problems are from the source material itself rather than the anime, so there’s not much that could’ve been done about it. I’ve seen people say Part 2 is better than Part 1, which I found weird when I checked some old Reddit posts from 3 years ago. Maybe it’s because the show was still airing back then. Part 2 of this show is ranked #59 with a score of 8.71 on MAL, which is higher than Part 1. That led me to think Part 2 would get intense (something like Fate Zero S2), but that wasn’t the case at all. I was fooled by my own expectations because of the inflated MAL score.
Part 2 focuses heavily on Shin, which I think was a good move and worked well for the story, narratively speaking. The cliffhangers at the end of each episode were super effective that I binged 4-5 episodes in one sitting.
That said, the rest of the squad felt pretty pointless in this half. They were underdeveloped, just repeating the same stuff. Like Anju’s discrimination or Kurena about her crush. Raiden was probably the only well-written one. Compared to something like Frieren, where you actually learn something new in every episode, 86 struggles with introducing something fresh. The author seems to struggle with side characters, so they just stick to their usual traits and don’t really grow.
The “defeat Kiriya” plotline was weak. I get that it was meant to reflect Shin’s lack of motivation, but it didn’t do much to push the story forward. Instead, Part 2 felt like it was stretching and prolonging the emotional beats of Part 1 rather than advancing the narrative. The "Big Bad" Legion in Part 2 needs a rider so Frederica’s knight Kiriya was chosen for this role, but in the grand scheme, it felt like a plot device rather than a meaningful development. I understand that they're probably setting up Frederica for the future, especially given how much of her background was introduced in this part.
What’s more frustrating is that the main crew no longer felt like the focus. Their motivation boiled down to “we’ll follow Shin to the end,” which isn’t very compelling. I did like the idea that they kept fighting because that’s all they’ve ever known, but it lacked the "oomph" motivation you’d see in something like Attack on Titan. Take Armin’s dream of seeing the sea, for example. That kind of personal, selfish, childlike goal hits differently.
Part 1 absolutely nailed the atmosphere. It was executed beautifully, with emotional highlights like characters dying one by one and their final send-offs, which reminded me of Angel Beats. These scenes hit hard. In contrast, Part 2 had its share of devastation (like Eugene’s death) but it lacked the same “flavor” that made Part 1 so impactful. The new characters, despite getting more screen time, felt less relevant than the fodder NPCs from Part 1. The narrative decision is very understandable though, as the focus is heavily on Shin's deteriorating mental state.
If I had to compare, the first half of 86 is on par with the narrative brilliance of Fate/Zero. While Fate/Zero builds slowly in its first season before ramping up in its second, 86 does the opposite. Part 1 is full throttle, delivering emotional highs and nonstop intensity, while Part 2 slows down and feels more like setup for what’s to come.
Other than that, Part 1 had so many highlights, like Lena confronting Annette, the flashback video recordings from Fido, and the farewell atmosphere in Episode 8, with the empty base camp (last day of school vibes) and the team marching to their deaths. Honestly, it could have ended there with everyone dying, which makes it easier to see Part 1 and Part 2 as two separate thing.
Today I just finished watching 86 and it was an absolute masterpiece that has left me feeling empty. I want to find something else to watch that is absolute peak, I've watched some peak anime like FMAB, AOT, death note, Vineland, code geass, monster and am looking for something with a deep plot and amazing ending, I want to find something that has already been completed, does anyone have any suggestions?
I found an AMV around 2 or 3 years ago from random FB Page, but i didn't bother to find it back then. But this time i'm kinda curious about this one.
The anime like, a girl "prisoned" in some kind of box. One guy saw her and save her, they make their way out (iirc, the guy using SMG). After that, they live together peacefully.
I don't remember exactly the scene from that video, at least that what i remember.
Overlord intrigued me, I've never been into anime, actually I have an innate hatred for it. Which is why I was impressed that an anime as infuriatingly befitting of every reason why I'd hate an anime was actually able to draw me in. So I want another. After watching all of it's contents I'm addicted. Though to be honest it's because of the whole 2B2T-like history it teased in the beginning. Long ago a league of no-life players created an empire through years of tomfoolery and grinding but then they all eventually stopped playing. One day, one of them comes back one last time to reminisce about this empire's glory days and all of the things he's done in the game with his friends before the serves for the game close. Only to be trapped inside the game. At least, it's not so bad being the Overlord.
It's just interesting I keep feeling like I wanna know what else have they done I this game? What other things does Ains have inside of that giant dungeon castle thing he's got. Despite it being an Isekai.. it feels like it's done right and Ains has been proven to be not even that good. Hell I fear for him dying the entire time I watched it because of how weirdly weak he can be. And it also may have to do with how they give an awful lot of attention to the other characters too.
So, point is.. I need another shot of that sh**!
Anime maybe from the 90s. What I saw was a movie or maybe the first episode of a anime, on vhs in the early 2000's.
I remember that humans lived on another planet and during the episode / movie they were attacked by another race. In the end the MC (a child / teenager) fell into a crack on the ground and found a mecha / robot in a cave.
