Ask Lemmy

Oh man so many. Most of which others are already mentioning. And I'm sure I'm forgetting many that have been constants througj the years. But these stand out.

Anime: Your Lie in April, Mushi-Shi, Scavenger's Reign, Violet Evergarden, One Punch Man

Anime but it's more of my selfish mention than a masterpiece: Tomo-chan is a Girl, The Wrong Way to use Healing Magic (English dub is really well done and I can be a sub snob most of the time), Bartender: Glass of God, Mashle:Magic and Muscles, Goblinslayer

Live Action:The Expanse, Midnight Diner, Midnight Diner:Tokyo Stories, The Goes Wrong Show, Blood Machines, How It's Made (I know, not likely what is being asked for but I thoroughly enjoy the show)

I have a really hard time getting into Live Action shows because too many of them either drag on, or they are just too predictable or forumlaic, or too samey, or it's all about people being horrible to each other. And there is also a severe lack of laid back story telling or unique story options. Hollywood is berift of interest for me 99% of thr time.

Little Witch Academia: a passion project and it shows, a witch school with a colorful cast of character and an even more colorful cast of villains, alternative name: lesbian hogwarts

Girls und panzer and its movie, while it does fall into the cute girls doing cute thing type of genre, GuP is one of the ones who really popularized it, its a series thats just plain old fun to watch how they fight their tank battles, especially the movie

Ben-to, another series thats just plain ol fun, people beat the snot out of each other for the privilege to buy price reduced food, animated by the people who went on to do jojo

that just be my top 3 to show everyone

Afterlife

I think nobody mentioned it yet. It's about someone who lost the love of his life, so the show is about those emotions and the struggle to continue. It's quite sad sometimes, but the show also has a lot of humour and I laughed my ass off multiple times.

Why watch a show about such a sad circumstance? I think we all lost someone or will lose very important persons / friends someday and it's important to learn how to deal with that and how it's important to continue. I can't emphasize that enough

You’re getting a recency bias, but I watched Akudama Drive about a month ago and really loved it.

have you heard about Ajin?

I can stop recommending Bad Sisters, but I won't. It's fantastic, through and through.

Monogatari series. I must have watched that entire series like a dozen times already. I absolutely love the VA's performance. Finally reading through the Light Novels now.

Hajime No Ippo. Manga is still a blast and the anime was incredible too.

I had a good time with Blue Lock as well.

@Shkshkshk @asklemmy Foyle's War, Line of Duty, Shetland, The Brokenwood Mysteries, and now Deadloch

I have a genre for sure, lol

Terminator Zero was great.

Station Eleven is the best tv show ever made.

I slept on Supernatural for a long time and now I can't stop, I'm on like season 13 and it still keeps getting better

Dai-guard, a somewhat obscure mecha anime. It's a comedy about what would realistically happen if you had a giant mecha fighting monsters from another dimension: bureaucracy, lawsuits, government interference, and physics.

Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/

For shows: My name is Earl was a very funny one that never got a proper ending before being cancelled.

For anime: Serial Experiments Lain.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - A Netflix K-drama about an autistic savant lawyer. It's charming, funny, and has a really beautiful story overall.

Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - a cute and fun anime about Maple, who doesn't want to get hurt in a VR MMO so she maxes her defense and becomes a hero.

I like light-hearted shows, so I'll be checking out a few of the ones in this thread 🙂

Tower of God is my absolute favorite anime and comic right now. Can't recommend it enough. Deeply interesting systems, amazing supporting cast, unique twists on old tropes.

Lately Slow Horses on apple+

Very good UK agent/crime show.

I'm not an anime guy. But I'll occasionally pop one on if the plot interests me. Vinland saga was good, Castlevania as well. I know the American anime haters will hate me. Aside from that I randomly watched "my happy marriage"with my wife and it was really good and I actually can't wait till season 2
