If anyone has read this series, is it any good http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Makai-Ouji-Devils-and-Realist It's got a bunch of chapters and it's josei which usually hasn't steered me wrong before, but the premise sounds a bit boilerplate

I've only seen the anime but it's pretty decent slice-of-life comedy, though I remember season 2 was kind of bad due to introducing a lame new character and having kind of lovely production values.

I've gone through the wiki, and still going through the last ten pages of this thread, but still need to find something I can stream on Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu that is relatively new. I'm a grown rear end man (who apparently has the need to mention it lol) not interested in anything to do with high school, comedy, or regular beat em up anime. I like relatively deep, sci-fi (it could be any genre), and mind-expanding animes that paint interesting worlds/mythology you want to dive in. I found the wiki to primarily center on the former stuff. Stuff I've really liked in the past: Rahxephon, Redline, the manga Planetes, the mange Battle Angel Alita (before it veered off track), the manga Akira, any Miyazaki movie. I'd be up for a manga recommendation as well. Thanks in advance.

Erased Paranoia Agent (hell, anything by Satoshi Kon in general) Serial Experiments Lain Boogiepop Phantom Ghost in the Shell. Any of it, but the original movie or Stand Alone Complex are good starting places. Psycho-Pass Steins;Gate. Watch the dub, it's fantastic.

I've not seen it myself, but from what I know Mushishi might be up your street. I know the first season's quite old (about a decade?) but I think Netflix has the second season too, which was pretty recent. Netflix also has Steins;Gate in a fair few regions, and I think Hulu, too. It might not be entirely to your taste (there's a fair amount of comedy, but it's balanced out with quite a bit of drama and intrigue), but is an excellent sci-fi time travel story at its heart. It also has a great dub, if that matters to you. If Hulu has it, Shin Sekai Yori/From The New World is a sci-fi series with a really intriguing plot and setting that had me hooked the whole way through, albeit with one or two off-putting episodes here and there. Follows the characters from childhood through to adulthood, so yes, there are parts where they're in high school, but that's really not what the show's about at all. Very heavy drama and atmosphere all the way through. And, although it's not available for streaming anywhere and I haven't seen or read it yet myself, since you mentioned Planetes, I may as well mention that I've heard the anime is very different to the manga. Not in a bad way, simply just that the anime focuses a lot more on some side characters that were barely in the manga, or something like that, so I've heard that it's a great watch even for people who've already read the series. If you have some way to watch it, it may be worth a look. That's all that comes to mind for the moment. Oh, stuff probably too obvious to mention, just in case you hadn't watched/read them: Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Nausicaa (note that the manga came first, is quite different to the film and is highly praised, so it's worth a go even if you've seen the film). smenj fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Aug 19, 2016 |

What about a beat em up or a highschool anime do you not like? I am only asking as there are a couple shows I could recommend but they might include elements that you do not like. For example Fate/Zero includes a decent amount of fighting, but it is just as much about the intrigue and the character development of the various characters. Also what region of netflix are you watching?

Also what region of netflix are you watching? I've watched Fate/Zero and its sequel (and GitS, which I liked, Evangelion, which I also liked, ditto with Paranoia Agent, which I found like a lot of the other director's efforts, a little too abstract and intentionally confounding for my taste) and I'm not trying to throw shade, but their story-telling mechanics are just not something I find too interesting anymore. High school drama might suffer from me being too separated from the subject matter, causing me to just eye-roll and mutter about these characters just moving on from their problems, but what I like about anime is the ability to create new worlds whole-sale, with no limits to the imagination. The manga Nausicaa is a perfect example of this, and so is the manga version of Akira, both exceedingly great ways to spend your time. Beat em up's (and I was a fan of Yu Yu Hakisho as a teenager) got old from repetition I guess. Only so many times I can watch a character overcome a bad rear end opponent through the power of his heart or some such poo poo. EDIT: I'm not going to be grossed out by the New World recommendation am I? I have a low tolerance for that stuff.

From the New World has strong horror elements, but it's mostly atmospheric rather than explicit. If you have a really low tolerance it might be a bit much, but it's really good. Don't even consider the manga adaptation; it's fanservice garbage.

School stuff generally follows a formula and there's definitely a ridiculous glut of them out there, but it can do some pretty great things within that formula. ReLife and Orange, both cliche-sounding school life series from their summaries, have turned out incredible. Orange is a finished manga that has a currently-airing anime, and relife has an anime that dropped all at once and covers about a hundred or so chapters, the webmanga it's based on is at like 140 chapters or something. Orange has one of the better portrayals of crippling depression I've seen in an anime/manga, and Relife actually does dodge a lot of school life cliches simply by the main character being an adult and working through problems with people instead of dragging it out for 30 chapters. Examples like them are why I'll generally give a given genre a shot I wouldn't otherwise, especially the cream of the crop that people recommend, even if I wind up not enjoying them(like chihayafuru).

if it's anything like the manga relife is mediocre as all heck and not something i'd recommend to someone specifically not looking for a show set in high school anyway, watch Kaiba my man, then follow that up with the Tatami Galaxy. also kyousougiga and Kino's Journey. this is ignoring previous recommendations.

In terms of "oh god this is making me feel awful I don't want to watch this" I found it very visceral at times but you don't actually see a huge amount of gore. It's just well used. And I'm saying this as someone who doesn't give a poo poo about most suspense / horror anime or movies. Cake Attack posted:anyway, watch Kaiba my man, then follow that up with the Tatami Galaxy. also kyousougiga and Kino's Journey. These are A++ suggestions for anyone. Also watch Turn A Gundam if you can, it's pretty neat and if you liked Evangelion and Planetes I think you'd enjoy it.

I suppose I should clarify what I meant since it's sparked all this discussion. By "off-putting episodes" in From The New World, I meant there were one or two episodes with a very uncomfortable atmosphere, which was great for most of the show, since the whole thing's meant to be intense and unsettling and the like, but there were a few which went a bit further than the rest. Nothing to not bother watching the show over by any means, and I certainly didn't mean that the show's full of gore or anything like that. I should, however, mention that I believe the show had a guest director for two separate episodes (both in the first cour, I think), and those episodes really stand out from the rest in a bad way. So if you decide to watch it and notice an abrupt decline in quality for an episode, that's probably why.

I'm looking for suggestions for things like Kikis Delivery Service. The mundane mixed with the mystic. The slice of life nature of it. Ideally something you could describe as heartwarming. I've watched a fair amount of Ghibli and any I haven't are already on the list. Thanks!

Once you finish Flying Witch you might try Natsume Yuujinchou. It's a little bit more conflict-driven than some of these suggestions but still very pleasant and soothing overall.
