Monster takes a little while to really get going because it has to set up a bunch of elements for the long-term story, but it's well worth sticking with and just plain good television you could show to anyone. Something for those who've already watched it; The Richard Brown arc is still probably some of the tensest drama I've ever seen, because you just sit there through five wonderfully-miserable episodes knowing how it has to end and wondering if this will finally be the episode for Johan to just drop the other boot on him  .

So maybe I'm more willing to watch them than I thought. gently caress it, at this point I have a google Doc I'm filling with the recommendations; bring it on.

Speaking of movies, the director of Paranoia Agent, Satoshi Kon, did some really great movies, though they're the kind of things where dubs of them exist but can be hard to find. I know a dub of Tokyo Godfathers exists, for instance, but it aired like twice on Canadian TV and that's it. And random suggestion just based off the general vibe, but maybe Tatami Galaxy? Again I don't watch a lot of dubs so iunno what the situation there is.

So maybe I'm more willing to watch them than I thought. gently caress it, at this point I have a google Doc I'm filling with the recommendations; bring it on. alright some suggestions then Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: this aint ever gonna get dubbed cause of its content, but it is an adult drama, partly set in modern times and one of the best to come out of the last decade of anime Kaiji: i doubt there will ever be a dub of this either. fits all of the other parts you're asking for though, some of the heaviest feels an adult drama can get. there's also a comedy spinoff Ping Pong the Animation: this one is dubbed. i don't watch dubs so i have no idea what the quality of the dub is. fits every part except adult cast (but the storytelling isn't immature stuff). great unique animation style as well Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade: there's a dub of this, again no idea how it is, its a great movie. speaking of movies, if you've watched GITS make sure to watch the GITS movies (but not arise)! Flag: this one https://myanimelist.net/anime/1299/Flag as there's a couple of anime with flag in the name. its a drama about news reporters covering a war in a faux middle-eastern/asian country. there's action here and it has the interesting gimmick of every single shot in the series being from a camera or computer. mostly realistic, but there's a few mechs Real Drive: from the same creator as GITS. also cyberpunk, but set in a tropical setting. partly adult cast, psychological and all that. slow start though also finally something totally different: A Penguin's Memories. yes the mc is a penguin. but its actually a drama about a vietnam veteran with ptsd in disguise

I'm looking for something like Seven Deadly Sins/Akame ga Kill! I like the story seen from the "underdog's" part and also a main character or characters that join the dark side (that turns out to be the good one).

Overlord has several multi-episode arcs that are from the perspective of average-level adventurers running into the protagonist's machinations in some form or other.

The only actual Isekai aspect of Overlord is how it starts off, everything else is straight adventure fantasy with no interest in getting back to the 'real' world. It also manages power creep really well, because while the protagonist was one of the strongest powergamers in the original MMO, he's smart enough to know that there might be other players in this new world somewhere, and he knows nothing about it anyway so he's being cautious as hell with every move he makes.

Seconding this. Code Geass remains one of my favorite series despite its flaws, it's got a lot of really good-feeling moments where the underdog "good guys" kick all kinds of rear end which sounds right up your alley. Your mileage may vary on the second season, but the first is top notch. It's also one of the few series where the english dub is close to on par with the original voices, though nothing will ever top Norio Wakamoto's amazingly hammy performance.

Oh, forgot to mention that I've seen code geass. I have no problem with mechs, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Blue Gender are my favourite anime ever but I thought I'd watch something else. Thanks for the suggestion though. Edit:words.

Endorph posted:A Place Further Than The Universe (same writer as the Euphonium anime, a bit comedic in spots but it's very very dialogue and character focused and the banter's really good) nearly halfway through this and its more or less what the doctor ordered. lots of really good dialogue and little bits of interpersonal drama, and the funny parts arent unwelcome (the ending of the passport episode was hysterical). very pretty show too, the running sequence in ep 2 i think was animated beautifully. pacing is spot on. good poo poo

I've gotten in slice of life/comedy/drama anime in the past year or so after having previously only watched shounen/action stuff. Some of my favorites are: March Comes in Like a Lion Shiro Bako Silver Spoon A Place Further than the Universe Laid Back Camp I just finished Silver Spoon tonight, and while I plan to continue on with the manga, I'd like some recommendations for other shows similar to these, please!
