  • I am going to be posting a new weekly thread in a couple hours, so you might have some better luck if you repost this question there, but I have made a pass at some recommendations below. You have a lot of the recent ones I have enjoyed. Some others that come to mind:

    • Lycoris Recoil - Imagine John Wick but with anime girls
    • Villainess Level 99 - the animation quality isn’t great, but the humor is and it wraps up nicely, not some cliffhanger that will never resolve
    • Mushishi - Anthology series…don’t binge this one, take it slow and let your brain chew on each episode
    • Silent Witch - kind of like if you made Bocchi into an OP witch
    • 100 Girlfriends - Strap in to experience the best harem MC out there - Rentaro
    • Dungeon People - A great SoL about the folks working behind the scenes to make a dungeon work
    • Endo and Kobayashi - a fun take on the villainess genre; if you like tsunderes, you will like this one
    • Fruits Basket (2019) - one of the pillars of shoujo, and for a good reason
    • Slime 300 - a very laid back SoL, basically a CGDCT
    • Kino’s Journey (2017) - anthology series…if you really like this, then you can watch the older 2003 series as well for some different stories
    • Love After World Domination - the red ranger falls in love with an enemy general…
    • Orb: On the Movements of the Earth - an anime about heliocentrism…yeah, it sounds weird as a premise, but it works…trust me.
    • Heavenly Delusion - Traveling across a post-apocalyptic Japan and things are kind of off…
    • Shimoneta - a world in which even the smallest dirty talk/gesture is literally illegal, meet the brave warriors fighting back against this censorship with the power of horny (note: don’t watch this with anybody else in the room)
    • Yuri on Ice - dramatic ice skating (boys version) - Medalist is the girls version, but I haven’t watched it, so I can’t vouch for it, but I have heard good things.
















  • I am a big fan of this manga and so far I am of two minds on this adaptation. First is that the humor is still there and still funny. In particular this episode gave us one of my favorite characters (Manda) and one of my favorite recurring gags (Dragon Kirio). However, the pacing feels really slow. I feel like the comedy would hit more if the episode was just sped up like 15% or something.
