Fantasy battle shounen ANIME or MANGA? (I have a list of the ones i already know)

I can't find any more of these fantasy battle shounens by myself now.😭 Please help a girl out and let me know if there are any other animes or mangas like these. I repeat that YOU CAN RECOMMEND MANGAS TOO.

🍥The ones similar to what i'm asking for (that i've seen or know of):

Naruto

Bleach

One Piece

Demon Slayer

Kaiju No. 8

Black Clover

Jujutsu Kaisen

Fairy Tail

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

My Hero Academia

Hell's Paradise

Attack on Titan

📚Mangas without adaptations like that (that i've read):

Gachiakuta

Daemons of the Shadow Realm

🔵The other battle shounens i've watched (some, dropped):

Sabikui Bisco

World Trigger (watched a few eps)

Bungo Stray Dogs

Hunter x Hunter

Seraph of the End

Blue Exorcist

🔴The ones i'm not sure are battle shounens that i've watched:

The Promised Neverland

Dr. Stone

Mob Psycho 100

Tokyo Revengers (not fantasy, that's why it's here)

Windbreaker (same as Tokyo Revengers)

Noragami

Gintama (only watched a few episodes)

Magi (didn't finish ep 1 bc the fanservice just made me uncomfortable)

Chainsaw Man (this one feels like it should have +18 to me lol, idk if it counts as shounen. Made me uncomfortable so i dropped it.)

Fire Force (the dialogue and writing are too juvenile, even more so than Blue Exorcist and that one was really juvenile too.)

Gurren Lagann (watched a couple of eps and don't know if i should continue)

Yu Yu Hakusho (watched a few eps)

💁🏻‍♀️The things i like the most about them in general are the relationships between characters, and how they have so many cool characters with cool powers (ig AoT doesn't have different powers but it's still great). You could recommend something like One Punch Man too even though it's not shounen, but i'm here to specifically ask for battle shounens so it would be good if it felt the same way (by this i don't mean it should be juvenile).

Isekai manga/anime where MC wants to actually go back to their world or the story expands on what happened to people who loved MC in the original world after their disappearance.

i love isekai, except that i hate 90% of all isekai because most of them use the concept of "travelling/incarnating to another world" as an excuse to give the MC Cheat power or that he is more mature than those around him because he is a 40 years old in younger body or something (incarnation), thus giving him an insane advantage in this world and make the story very lame in the beginning (which to me is the most important part of a serious story), I want to watch/read something that takes the concept seriously and focuses more on either:

- the MC actually want to go back to their original world.

- expands on what happened to the people who actually loved and cared for MC in the original world.

- in case of incarnation, a story where the MC questions his new body, like "what happened to the original owner/soul of this body? is this really my body or did i steal it from someone?"

Anime like the apothecary diaries?

I just finished it and oh my god it was so good, I am looking for more anime to watch, but everything I looked at is boring/not my taste. I like mystery style anime with a side of romance!

And yes, I have watched Bungo stray dogs and link click.

Male MC and about demons and/or samurai?

It would also be cool if there wasn’t any female fan service or really any predominant female characters

I’m really into sword fighting, demons/yokai, tragic backstories, and main characters that look weak but are actually strong

I feel like I’ve watched everything that fits into those categories so…

Any suggestions?

What is the babe if the anime where you can segment incantations?

I saw an Instagram reel where in a magic school, a teacher was saying something like 'electric spirits, lend me you're power, something about electricity. He then said that depending on how to segment the incantation, it gets different alterations.

My Dilemma

Please recommend me some anime like Fairy Tail but without all the long drawn out battles. Listen I love Fairy Tail.. I do, but it's hard to power through it when there are soo many episode arcs of fight after fight after fight etc etc It's just not my cup of tea.

I love the characters and their backstories. I love how friendship is the most important thing to them. I love how eccentric and crazy they all are and I love how Makarov is like a family head who cares for and protects all his children. But the battles are too much and it's taking me forever to finish it. (I just reached the 7 year jump but all the battles on the island are so long and ridiculous that I had to take a break and put it on the back burner.. just a simmer lol a long simmer)

Anyway I love the slice of life or filler episodes more than anything.. the events or when they just goof off and have fun, but I also love the drama that makes me cry

I've already seen Fruits Basket and ReLife. That's kinda the vibe I'm going for here. Big cast of characters who are all important with their own storylines and something I can ship. I also really enjoyed Kiznaiver and Tokyo Revengers but that does have some battles (not long drawn out ones tho lol)

Anyway I appreciate any suggestions

Looking for anime with a romance plot(subplot or main) that isn't comedic relief, constant misunderstandings or an MC that is spineless

I've been craving some engaging anime relationships lately, and remember how disappointed I was in most anime romance, so I was looking for anime that have fun and engaging romance. Open to all genres, all artstyles, just lay it on me with your favourite anime romances. (Please, I beg of you, I cannot for the life of me find very good engaging romances)

Anime where there are high stakes

I’m looking for a anime like Blue lock where there are high stakes, I’m not looking specifically for a sport anime, just an anime with high stakes that will keep me on my toes. I have already watched kakegurui.

Please help me

It's been a while since i last watched an anime and actually enjoyed it, recently ....i've been trying to find something that isn't annoying or downright insufferable to watch. so please suggest something that'll help me with that. i'll list some things/ traits i enjoy and some that i don't like.

things i don't like:- immature, overly introvert, awkward emotional exaggeration. Overly sexualizing children and that includes "supposed to be 3000 years old witch" who obviously looks and behaves like a child, just another cast of high school kids. Not a fan full cast of kids in general but that's not a deal breaker if the writing is good.

Anime I've tried recently but did not like :-

Mushoku tensei -- It didn't stick with me even in the first few episodes but given how much everyone praises it..i gave it a fair shot. i saw 1st season and few episodes of S2 but i can't sit thru it anymore

dandadan :- 3 episodes....not my cup of tea

HxH :- 24 episodes....was recommended by one of my close friend. not hating on it but just.....can't get excited. I'm guessing it gets good later on but.....after seeing enough naruto and the skypiea arc in one piece.....i just don't wanna sit thru something i'm not enjoying to get to the good part

anime i did like :-

one punch man :- saitama is pretty much the perfect character in my eyes. i liked it so much i even started reading the manga 10/10

apothecary diaries :- surprisingly good

after the rain :- love it ( loving yamada lv999 was another good one)

promised neverland :- amazing

I'm okay with pretty much any genre as long as characters aren't insufferable. i guess i prefer more stoic characters now that i think about it.

i apologize for the long post. i tried to conveyed my preferences as clear as i possible

FMA:B - stick with it? 😬

Just finished episode 17. I get it and am enjoying some moments … But somehow it doesn’t quite grab me and make me excited to watch the next episode yet. Something about the sometimes wacky tone, the story/stakes and how some of the bad guys give the feel of G.I. Joe villains. I don’t mean to disrespect… I know that for a lot of people, including one of my best anime buds, it’s some people’s all-time favorite. I’d like to be more excited about it - I guess I’m just looking for some encouragement to keep going and not to bail. Or maybe it’s just not the style that resonates with me. Who knows? Anyway starting Ep 18 … now …

Thanks in advance!

anime that will motivate me to study

Title kinda says it all, I have a big exam coming up and extra motivation would be helpful. anime I have watched so far that has motivated me to study more is kaguya sama: love is war, because some of the main characters are academic weapons.

I'm open to any genre.

Wife has never watched anime before, which one to try first?

I dabbled in anime several years ago, and haven't watched any for the past 10 years. I have been getting interested lately, and asked my wife if she would try watching a series with me, and she said she would give it a try. She cannot stand subbed shows, so it would need to be English dubbed. If you had to pick 1 show to get her potentially hooked, what would you suggest? She's not very picky in terms of topic, setting, etc, just likes a good story. I'm thinking either one of the big hitters like Attack on titan, Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood, or the newer Cyberpunk Edge runners. What you you suggest out of these 3, or any others?

Edit: Wow tons of feedback, thanks. The wifey and I went through a bunch of your suggestions and looked at trailers, etc, and she is most interested in Samurai Champloo and Cyberpunk. She wants a more adult theme, lots of mature gore shit lol. She's leaning towards Cyberpunk, but we have definitely starred many of you're suggestions, much appreciated 👍

Shonen anime with weak protagonists who are NOT 'destined' for greatness, but still manage to overcome their limitations and become overpowered?

I'm on the hunt for a shonen anime where a weak protagonist overcomes incredible obstacles and becomes ridiculously powerful against all odds. Naruto is a great example of this trope, but it's later revealed that (SPOILER!) >! he's the child of prophecy!<, which kind of undermines the whole "underdog" vibe.

I've noticed that many main characters in shonen anime have some kind of innate or inherited ability that sets them up for greatness. Most have a pretty sweet deal - they're born into powerful clans, come from powerful families, have legendary parents, ...

Don't get me wrong, I loooooove these anime series, but I'm looking for something a bit different. I want to see a protagonist who doesn't have any special advantages or predispositions, but instead rises to the top through sheer effort and determination. Someone who starts from the bottom and earns their power through blood, sweat, and tears.

Thank you in advance!

Mature funny anime revolving around working/everyday life. Wraps up in a season or two

I liked New Game! It was funny to me and lighthearted. Looking for something more revolving around the everyday stress of life and work though to relate better. Want to find something that fits me.

Maybe some romance, comedy, slice of life.

My job is very boring if that helps LOL

Anime where big dudes make trash talk phone calls that explode the other end of the line?

OK so this was something in a meme from years ago, one of those "WTF is this??" posts that got traded around.

There were several clips of some anime that consisted of giant, beefy dudes who were part of some kind of martial arts schools or something. The clips were mostly of these dudes trash talking eachother.

One clip showed someone trash talking another dude over the phone, and the burn was so bad that the phone blew up on the other end.

Did I hallucinate this? What was this?

EDIT: I've tried Googling and based on the thin amount I know here, it hasn't been successful.

Is there any other english dub anime like "A Journey Through Another; World Raising Kids While Adventuring"

So I just finished this anime and bits were a bit cheesy but I really enjoyed it, however I'd like to see one where the MC doesn't become like a big brother figure like the MC in this anime was I wanna see like the MC weather they're a male or female to take over the parent role and become the Dad or Mum kinda like how Asuna and Kirito in SAO become Yui's parents.

General Anime Suggestions

Normally I'm pretty picky about what to watch and avoid lots of mainstream stuff (still will probably never watch mha) but I need to broaden my horizons and need some more anime to watch. Here's my up-to-date MAL list

https://myanimelist.net/animelist/mccreepyy

Pretty much as long as the rating is higher than a 6 on MAL I'll give it a go

Animes like Ore Monogatari and feel good releationships

There are other posts about Oro Monogatari but they are over a year old. What I love about it is it doesn't have cheap drama and when it does, they are resolved very quickly.

That kind of feel good writing is what I need right now. I prefer comedy/romance but don't mind action/adventure theme either. Just no big drama or depressive themes. Would be better if they are fairly new.

Animes I love include: Barakamon, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Kaguya-sama, Working!, Lovely Complex, Kimi ni Todoke, My Little Monster, Tomo-chan is a Girl, Nozaki-kun, Nagatoro.

Thanks.

Romance anime where you felt the most thrilling moments?

I don't know what the English translation is but it's "kilig moments" if you know what that means. Felt so empty lately and just wanted to feel something. Doesn't have to be the best story, I just need to feel something.

Sorry if this is all over the place, I also would love one with a good main villain they both wanna defeat, sorry if this is very specific

Apocalypse/Post Apocalypse shows featuring cute potatoes

One of my favorites of all time is Girls Last Tour, very comfy and cute despite being set in an extremely bleak setting. Thoroughly enjoyed Heavenly Delusion after that finished airing for the world building, and have just finished watching Dead Dead Demons Destruction which was fucking fantastic.

Anyone know of any shows that give off similar vibes of: -Scifi -Cute potatoes (necessary requirement) -World ending setting
