sorry for the grammer im high. mine is watamote and princess jelly fish. edit yall never disappoint.
I like neon genesis evangelion. You’ve probably never heard of it
Oh you’re into niche stuff? Have you watched Naruto?
Naruto is a bit too main stream for me. It might be hard to find online. But there is a series called Dragon Ball Z. But you will probably never find it.
You guys watch some really obscure stuff; any of you guys heard of attack on titan? It’s up there for me as one of my favorite unknown animes next to the old Batman the animated series.
Dude, you can just make something up and say it’s obscure. There is literally no proof that “attack on titan” even exists. Get out of here with your fake news!
Oh is that the one about Boruto’s dad?!
The Tatami Galaxy.
People will stan other Yuasa shows like Ping Pong, Devilman Crybaby or Hands off Eizouken! (And don’t get me wrong, they’re all good shows) but Tatami Galaxy and Night is Short, Walk on Girl are still my favs.
Jokes on you, Tatami Galaxy is the only Yuasa show I’ve actually watched!
It was pretty good, too.
Main complaint I usually hear when recommending the show is that the subtitles are hard to keep up with, which y’know what is kinda fair.
Watch Night is Short, Walk on Girl next! The movie basically happens sometime during the events of the show. Maybe. It’s a bit fuzzy.

This is a skill issue, people need to get bored halfway through Hunter x Hunter and turn it up to 1.5x speed. That’ll learn 'em to read fast.

This is the ritual that summons the reading comprehension devil. It’s not for the faint of heart

Oh my god, really?! Thanks for the recc, mate!
We watched that movie on Hextube a few months back, it was a lot of fun.

Golden Kamuy
People who refuse to watch Golden Kamuy are cowards.
The best cooking anime and gayest anime wrapped into one. The author is now back on their bullshit making a hockey manga again. Hopefully it evades the axe this time.
The fact that it’s added to by a stupid amount of research that went into the historical, anthropological and linguistic aspects of the show really makes it one of a kind. (Also neat that it somewhat contributed to the discussion on indigenous rights being reopened to a degree an Japan)
I loved “Planetes” it’s about a crew who does orbital debris cleanup.
It’s been ages since I’ve even thought of this series. I need to watch it again soon.
It’s such an endearing series.
Very well done. Good character writing.
Not even obscure but Hibike Euphonium
SO good
Whenever I think back to when I watched I think it has really nice and strong messaging for high schoolers or merely people going through a major shift in their life. Why do what isn’t valued by others or the market is more and more relevant. I need to go rewatch it
Saint Oniisan, a slice of life where Jesus and Buddha are roommates. One of the funniest slice of lifes I’ve watched
Shinsekai Yori
dark and thrilling!
I’ve recommended that a few people and none of them could get into it 😤
The beginning of the school arc had some amusing chud meltdowns back in the day as well.
Wanted to comment this but there was someone else already!
That fuckin anime had me so shook lmao, Squaler did nothing wrong
Oof, this was a dark one. I definitely enjoyed it, and the ending had a brilliant reveal too.
that was a good one
Space☆Dandy
Found it on Netflix while high and immediately latched on to its extremely chaotic energy, lack of respect for the idea of canon, constant hamminess, and barrage of jokes, references, homages, and satirisations. Think a surreal saturday morning cartoon version of Cowboy Bebop with Johnny Bravo as the protagonist.
Episode 4, “Sometimes you can’t live with dying, baby”, is the best zombie episode of anything you will ever watch.
One reason it feels like Cowboy Bebop is probably that it’s by the same director (he also did Samurai Champloo).
I typically describe it as “Johnny Bravo meets Hitchhiker’s Guide”
Used to watch this on adult swim back in 2018
Perfect show to watch and not think
Asobi Asobase. It’s so good but I never see anyone talk about it
Had it heavily recommended by a friend actually. All I know personally is it’s got a banger outro theme

I love princess jellyfish! I bought the first translated manga book. I don’t know if I’ve ever met an OG Devilman fan, or an IRL Madoka Magica fan. I also haven’t ever met a welcome to the nhk fan because… honestly I don’t come out of the blocks with that.
i loved welcome to the nhk back when it came out but it kind of fucked me up and i’m not allowed to watch it again
i still love it and miss it sometimes but it would push some trauma buttons in me that i know not to push to see it again
good soundtrack too!
Agreed. Once you’ve watched it, it’s in your marrow. I’ll also never rewatch but will listen to the soundtrack on occasion. Unironically the purupurupururin track is one of the catchiest (meta fictional) anime openers out there.
i cant really rewatch watamote either. the cringe is too potent. a different reason though.
i was just thinking of getting into welcome to the nhk! ill watch the first episode tonight. and yes princess jellyfish is so underappreciated! they did it they made straight yuri!
NHK is probably a personal journey more so than a shared journey, I feel, which is why I haven’t really spoken to other people about it irl, plus it comes with a whole raft of cws, but in any case I watched it at a critical time in my life and it helped. Also re princess jellyfish tag yourself I’m mayaya
this is so hard for me. Tsukimi because my moms dead but also Kurako because i like attention.
Guess which anime I came here to post? I saw Princess Jellyfish I think on Netflix a few years back and absolutely loved it. It’s also kind of what really got me into anime to be honest.
aaaaaahhhhh princess jellyfish thread!!! and it was one of the first anime i fell in love with!!
I was able to make 3 more Madoka fans by bullying them into watching it. ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Madoka
This anime hurts itself when its promotional materials make you think it’s just an ordinary magical girl anime. It was literally a TV tropes page referring to the characters as being almost liches for having phylacteries that made me think tell me more
It’s unorthodox, but I’ll pay it. Good strat.
Katanagatari
ooh an sword based adventure through edo japan, looks cool!
If you weren’t going to post this, I was going to post this. Criminal how this show is underrated.
For anyone on the fence, imagine Dragon Ball-era Goku beating his way up across feudal Japan. Only written competently. To sick music.
I wanted to like this because I thought it would be an exciting anime…only to discover all the fight scenes combined would take you like ten minutes to watch.
Fifty episodes of so. Much. Talking.
Dear God I actually had to say “Shut up and fight already!” in the first episode alone.

Grappler Baki. I’ve met fans online and made my online friends watch it but I’ve never met a person in real life who knew what it was
Hello, I’m a Baki fan and was really excited when I found out literally like 3 days ago that Baki Rahen had been coming out for a few months.
Baki Rahen
As an inside joke with my friends whenever I get the chance to I always describe somebody as being the Ultimate Pure Boy. The Jack arc is finally real and I’m here to read it in real time

ACCA-13 and Mushishi for me.
Mushishi rocks
Feels like this is my answer to every anime question thread, but Nichijou. I love the anime deeply, but even anime watchers I know have never heard of it.
WHAT? How have people not watched Nichijou?
I don’t remember why, but it didn’t do very well when it was initially released
There are two anime people call “Nichijou”. Do you mean the male-led or female-led one? The female-led one (aside from being way better) has a huge following among anime enthusiasts, or so I thought.
