I need a good cry. That one episode of Re:Zero really got me and I want more of it. Bring on the sadness (tears of joy are also acceptable).

Go watch Violet Evergarden on Netflix. That show will make you cry once an episode, guaranteed.

This looks really good actually, thanks!

Anohana and Violet Evergarden look good too. Probably save them for later on since I cant handle too much sad all at once.

e: Oh poo poo I missed Your Name. Yeah Im gonna start with that since I never finished watching it my first attempt due to losing 2 family members the week before and already being an emotional wreck.

Whilst Liz was a masterpiece, I'm not sure if its brand of quiet drama is particularly tearjerking in either direction.

Do you want Evangelion with worse direction, less interesting characters but a more immediately understandable story? If so sure.

it's a very navel-gazey show but not as hard to parse as a lot of early 2000s shows like that. its also got a pretty, idk, muted? tone. but none of the characters are especially interesting, you're mostly watching it for the central mysteries. those mysteries have definitive, in-show answers, but whether thats a plus or minus is up to you and how you prefer shows like that to be written.

imo its pretty good.

When it hits though, it does hit hard.

BOY, That One Episode. That one got me good when I first watched it.

Its action can be almost on par with Evangelion at times, while its technobabble and religious or other ramblings are generally inferior. Still a good show though, and definitely has memorable episodes(the aforementioned episode 19), and the production values are quite high for a show of that era iirc. The mecha designs are really fascinating too, and the Vermillions are a great design



They're elegant, like someone draped in robes, with a great head design. Love it.

It's one of those shows I've been vaguely aware of since it was new, and spotted a fatpack for it that I likely won't encounter again seeing as it's quite out of print, so that all sounds worth a look to me.

If you have a lot of free time. It's got some interesting stuff going on but it's very Bones and the ending is kind of off-color.

Thank you to the people that recommended Your Name and A Silent Voice. Watched one last night and the other this morning. They were both exactly what I needed. :3:

Looking for SFW anime recommendations that I can watch on Crunhyroll while I work overtime. Looking for anything old and new.

Things I've enjoyed that fit the SFW requirements:

ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept
Laid-Back Camp
Land of the Lustrous
DBZ Super

Is Hunter x Hunter mostly SFW?

Hunter x Hunter has some heavy violence (especially in the chimera ant arc) but I believe the worst it gets is people with holes blown through them/limbs torn off and one scene of a corpse being medically examined/experimented on, nothing too far above what you'd see in Dragon Ball Super and you never see the guts going everywhere. And when you say 'SFW' I imagine you mostly mean sex stuff, in which case there's one shower scene with an adult male character and that's about it.

Blood/gore is not too much of a problem unless it's like Made In Abyss levels. Definitely trying to avoid the sex stuff mostly.

Flying Witch, Chihayafuru, Place further than the Universe and Shirobako are all very good and on Crunchy

Also Polar Bear Cafe if you like very relaxed comedies mostly involving puns :3:

Yeah thats fair. Hunter x Hunter's manga was really heavy on the vioence but it got toned down a fair bit in the anime, so there's some cutting around some pretty graphic imagery but you never actually see a lot of it explicitly.

In terms of anime with very minor amounts of/no sex stuff, Shirobako comes to mind. It's an office comedy about an anime studio, and the only instance of anything like that I can think of is one scene where they're animating a girl in a bath towel and all you can really see is that she's in a bath towel, the scene hasn't even been colored in yet, and the whole thing lasts like forty seconds.

It’s so small in the anime scheme of thing but in shirobako there’s also that great scene where the titty anime the director worked on previously devolving into horrific blobs because the production fell apart

In the same vein, Sakura Quest pretty much has 0 sexy scenes. Haven't watched it yet but I'd assume Hanasaku Iroha is similar in that regard.

Iroha is great, seriously fantastic, but it has several risque scenes early on, particularly when introducing the writer character, and a number of obligatory bathing scenes throughout that would be excruciating to have to try to explain to some HR drone.

Yeah, I need to get around to it so that I can say that I've watched the entirety of PA Work's working life trilogy :v: I really enjoyed the other two (see avatar), so I'm betting that I'll love Iroha too.

Sakura Quest? I dropped that one pretty early on because it just felt like a worse version of Iroha mixed with a worse version of Shirobako, and just ended up re-watching Iroha instead.

It came out early 2017 or so? If you're interested in a story about rural revitalisation and the work that goes into that you'd probably enjoy it like I did.
