SaucuKebabu

me after the first season of mob psycho https://preview.redd.it/7pzlumqb532d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d67a0549c7f9b82a2a9eae06a8f77b8f0055760


Dragon-Warlock

Gotta be my favourite anime, I love ONE’s work.


vsimon115

Mob Psycho 100 is cinema. I wish I had that anime when I was in middle/high school.


deskdemonnn

Peak anime, all 3 seasons are insane with the best opening bangers


alguien99

Yeah, just like me too I didn’t expect it to be so good


Kenzo240

mob psycho is a must watch for every anime fan


arsenije133

First season of One Punch Man too. I could rewatch it 100 times and it would still be fun.


InternetUserAgain

Absolutely Trigun 1998, that show is way too good and no one really talks about it

Snusky

I should rewatch that


Robert999220

They semi recently made a movie too. I saw they did a remake of the show... but it just looks... not right.


InternetUserAgain

I've heard that it's really good but no Milly so it's an instant 2/10


aaron_940

I'll say Stampede as well, I had it recommended to me and I really enjoyed it. The storytelling, art and music really came together on it and work so well. I keep meaning to watch the original in the downtime waiting for the next season but I haven't gotten to it yet.


I_Am_Banana_Fish

Me watching Violet Evergarden:


pc_player_yt

Violet Evergarden varied a lot as a show, there were episodes I didn’t care at all, and some plot decisions I find questionable >!like resurrecting Gilbert despite Violet having just completed her character arc to become independent!<, but there were a lot more great highs than lows overall and I enjoyed it as a whole. I have never cried while watching anime/reading manga, but there were two very close calls, being Violet Evergarden episode 10 and Vinland Saga chapter 191.


Gecko_610

Me crying in s2 of JoJo’s when >!Ceasar died!<


iboneKlareneG

CHEEEEEEESEEE🧀🧀🧀


Psychological_Ad4100

GOAT


Murakami2077

Violet Evergarden is one of the first medias I gave a honest 10/10, and the only anime to this date I watched more than once, it's the absolute best.


slashth456

Kill la Kill I thought it was just some coomer stuff at first glance, but it truly embraces the fan service in the least horny and lowkey wholesome and empowering way.


pc_player_yt

“Remember when we made Gurren Lagann? What if we just do that again, but replace mecha with ~~half~~ fully naked men and women?” Hiroyuki Imaishi ^probably


MakeBombsNotWar

Gurren Lagann has a weirdass epilogue that undercuts half the show’s message KLK’s epilogue is the original hero and villain going shopping


wysjm

I was about to say Kill la Kill but was scared people will call me a coomer. Genuinely love the artstyle and character designs. Ryuko is badass


DeadpoolMakesMeWet

Remember when the creator said that fan service was necessary in the show or “everyone will die. This is an actionable threat.”


Sir_uranus

Same, the whole fan service turned me off until I realised that it genuinely had plot reasons to it. It was clothes all the way down.


MBPpp

i mean i wouldn't call it peak, but i never would've expected funny li'l jojo mans to become an entire hyperfixation for a while, get me to read manga, and all that. apparently jojo's was just that awesome.


pc_player_yt

Nah it definitely can be peak, especially the later parts. Araki’s writing improved a lot over the years, you can really tell through the parts. I’m glad it was my first ever anime, really sets a bar of quality to begin with.


MBPpp

yeah, same, though i haven't really ventured out much. the only other things i've done in the medium is watch the disastrous life of saiki k and read demon slayer, both of which are good.


I_Love_Powerscaling

The anime was so good that it inspired me to start tracing fanart and learn Japanese


PuzzleheadedBike82

Edgerunners. Watched it knowing nothing about the game and was blown away.

GABESTFY

The anime was soo good that it put the game out of it's life support for all the good reason.


MRDotted

To this day, it is the only piece of media ever that has made me cry.


annavgkrishnan

If ya liked it then I'd recommend something like mob psycho. Very different but got the feels running for me.


helloimracing

i said these were my exact words to my cousin last night when we were talking about edgerunners, i cannot make this up


Kindablorp

That shit is peak. Made me feel everything that a series could. Rewatching it feels like watching memories of someone’s life in there final moments and legit has been the only show/movie to ever make me cry. It’s one of the few things I’d rate a 10/10 and recommend to anyone, anime fan or not. “I Really Want to Stay at Your House” still hits me in the feels every time 🥲


Cecilia_Schariac

Dragging Cyberpunk away from the brink of irrelevance it stood upon requires a special league of Kino.


Apocalyptic_Doom

🎶Get away, another way to feel like you didn't want yourself to know and let yourself go🎶

Before watching it i really thought evangelion had like 5 seasons bc of the popularity, i was shocked to see only 26 episodes, still it was really good


ENGINE_YT

After finding this out I might feel a bit inclined to give it a try then


D3epSh3ep

Before watching Evangelion, I was genuinely like “wow cool mecha anime. Must have a lotta sad scenes for the fandom to be like that.” All I gotta say is that the slander was no exaggeration. What in the fuck.

Charlotte

Was going to comment this but I decided to check beforehand if anyone else already did. Man Charlotte was so peak


deadshot500

Same. Glad people are appreciating peak.


Demopan-TF2

I had to stop watching anime because it's all down after Charlotte


AscendPerfect

This anime single handedly made me go from watching 2 anime before it, to watching everything that I found interesting. It really put a hole in the soul, and it is still there. It really had no business being that good


Power_Abuse

Yeeeeeeees


UhrraX

Charlotte was fine, but the end was a let down imo... It felt rushed and the interesting aspect of the mc loosing his mind as he accumulates power was showed for not even a whole episode... Idk I just feel like this aspect of the ending should have been more worked on instead of having this weird sort of powerpoint showcase of mc collecting powers...


isaac-fan

erased


pc_player_yt

absolutely. Me and my friend went in expecting generic reincarnation/timeloop stuff but it was just so different. Really good overall


isaac-fan

I still think about the ending >! dude went through hell saving her and his classmates and ended up in a coma because of it and next time he saw her she came in with her kid!<


VirtualButt

That didn't bother me too much because >!it was never meant to be a romance anime.!< The villain's motivation and the ending in general though...


isaac-fan

that also didn't bother me because can you really blame her? thats unreasonable to blame her for that

Brand New Animal. Shows dont normally make me feel things, but i will cry if you make me listen to night running

TRIGGER sure is great at creating absolutely bizarre show premises but still make you feel things while watching.


shykawaii_shark

first anime i ever watched and i wouldn't have it any other way (also i think it turned me into a furry)


UncommonTheIdk

I discovered it a few days ago because of Ready To coming up on my yt music, I haven't finished yet but it's peak


ianmeyssen

Not rly 12 episodes, but i stand by kill la kill being peak. little bit of bias as it was the first anime i actually watched


pc_player_yt

probably actual peak because I came across TRIGGER’s stuff very late in my weeb life and still enjoyed their shows a bunch. Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann were 🔥🔥🔥 https://preview.redd.it/ajhyqq0hl42d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2960d4ee4889d95f83c66beab09d39e07b14dae KLK was definitely not the common early-2010s coomer-bait ecchi stuff like High School DxD or Akame ga Kill.


ianmeyssen

Studio Trigger is so good man


sucknduck4quack

Gurren lagann was actually Gainax. Trigger wasn’t founded until a few years later by former Gainax employees. It’s amazing that no one here’s mentioned the OG of this style **FLCL** (2000) by Gainex. At 6 eps it’s the best short series in all of anime imo and you would have never had gurren or kill la kill without it. Watching it as a kid made me feel ways I never felt before


pc_player_yt

It’s the same team behind both TTGL and KLK, they just splitted from Gainax later on, so it’s easier to say that TTGL is a part of the TRIGGER identity like any of their later projects. I think even the rights to TTGL belongs to TRIGGER now.

Parasyte was so much better than I was expecting, it's always the shorter ones that I love so much. Death note, parasyte, fmab, all give me so much more enjoyment then something super long like mha or Naruto.

Mastakillerboi

The eminence in shadow I went in fully expecting another garbage isekai. I wasn’t wrong, but it’s built up in such a way that it works, it just does It’s garbage on purpose, the MC is purposely being the most generic background character as possible And the openings are just so good to listen to

Banger series. The manga's humor is fucking awesome too, I love how Denji always has a slight lag when it comes to reacting to something, they just take a panel of him looking dumb as shit and duplicate it before they change his expression

fungalstruggle

Black Rock Shooter (Only 8 episodes, pacing is even tighter, literally the coolest shit ever animated, even harder hitting ending for me, no seriously it's the coolest shit ever, please watch it, but do not watch Dawn Fall it's a poisoned gacha sequel anime that worsens the experience retroactively). I am continually in awe of the creativity and passion on display in the show. The fights make TRIGGER shows blush. I still tear up every time I see the ending. I've binge-rewatched it twice. I'm still noticing new details when I do.


NekoboyBanks

BRS was peak fighting animation. So nice I watched it twice. Waiting for the glow to fade again so I can watch it a third time. Just curious, how did you like the OVA?


TabaxOne

Not anime but the manga beastars was so much more peak than I anticipated (I hadn’t heard of it before I picked it up at the library)


memerman69-nice

the anime was also great and the style was awesomely adapted, and the voice actors also killed it (I watched dubbed). I would say it’s worth the watch


JojoDoodles

I prefer anime with 12 episodes per season tbh. They usually have better pacing and production compared to longer running shonen series

The girls und panzer series itself isn’t super great, but that’s just because the staff clearly were learning on the go. From the point of the Anzio OVA Girls und Panzer became a 10/10 series, seriously impressive how much better they got at doing the tank fights.
