Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.

Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.

There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

During my brief anime phase, these are the ones worth mentioning:
1, on a whole tier above the rest: Mob Psycho, such a great piece of work without any of the cringe anime tropes. I wish this anime existed when i was younger, it might've saved me from a depressive crisis.
2: Odd Taxi is a gem, great characters, very unique artstyle, great story and a banger of a soundtrack. Also no cringe anime tropes, what more do you want!
3: Diamond is Unbreakable (JoJo), while all of JoJo is worth a spot i think this part is just above all the rest. Unique artstyle with such a rich color palette (feels like a LSD trip ngl), my favorite villain and has the best episode i've ever seen that legit made me cry from laughter. (the restaurant episode)
Honorable mentions: kaguya-sama, demon slayer, bluelock.
In no order:
One piece - I'm a manga reader but I'll tune into the anime for emotional parts. I've been a fan of this for about 23 years now. I always recommend the manga over the anime though.
Chainsaw man - I'm a manga reader, I loved seeing it animated, but I think they sort of messed up releasing only 1/3rd of the first arc for season 1. If they finished the first arc in season 1 I bet it would be in everybody's top 10. I always recommend that everybody just read it.
Haibane Renmei - this is a real piece of art. This is a cozy slow burn with a real emotional wallop for people in a certain headspace. This one genuinely made me a better person.
Serial experiments lain - hard to explain without spoiling it. Super good, super 90's. Amazing vibe that I don't think any others have gotten close to replicating.
Mob Psycho 100 - about a psychic boy and his conman father figure. feel good with a good message and a good boy. The characters are fantastic and the animation can get really crazy good. It has some of the best animation I've ever seen. It has a lot of genuine emotion put into it.
Frieren - about an near-immortal elf after the journey has already ended. this one is still airing, but I'm loving it. I like the chill vibe and interesting story. I love how emotionally mature it feels. I'm not a fan of over the top anime emotions and enjoy how down to earth and realistic these characters act.
Restaurant to another world - I like watching fantasy people/creatures eat and enjoy our foods.
Akira - although the movie is about 1/3rd of the story with the ending slapped on, it's still very fun to look at. I wish they had given this story a trilogy of 3x 3 hour movies instead of cutting out characters and only covering the beginning of a wild story. I always recommend people read the manga.
Made in abyss - the author is a weird pedophile but the story and world are so intriguing. It makes me feel dirty watching it but I need to know what's at the bottom of that damn hole. I've been reading it as well and that just makes me feel even dirtier.
Outlaw Star - A rogue with a gun that shoots magic bullets and his weird crew vs a magical taoist space pirate and his weird crew vs. Cyborg brothers all after the greatest treasure in the universe. Its a weird mashup of themes and genres and somehow it all works.
I'm primarily a manga reader and actually watch very little anime. Making that list was actually pretty difficult and my list for favorite manga would be pretty different.
In no particular order:
- Space Dandy
- Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann
- Gravity Falls
- One Punch Man
- One Piece
- Lupin III
- FLCL
- Hunter x Hunter
- King of the Hill
- Space Dandy
I'm not going to make a list but Thunderbolt Fantasy is amazing and everyone should check it out.
