Not sure I'd say it's dark comedy, but Chio's School Road is a solid watch similar to Asobi Asobase in that it's about schoolgirls being terrible people in hilarious ways.

Is there any shounen/battle manga that puts the focus on the whole team, rather than one or two specific characters? Alternatively something like suikoden where the main premise is the gathering of the team? The ensemble cast is often the best part of those series for me but most of the time they are left behind in the dust as the protagonist goes on to murder god.

One Piece? Luffy is always the strongest but his crew play important roles throughout the story and there's always a strong dynamic between them all. Even the weakest members of the crew have their own utility that they use to great effect in ways you often don't expect.

Looking to sports shounen might also be worth a shot if that counts for you. Haikyuu, for instance.

My Hero Academia does it to the detriment to the series. Every minor character gets a backstory and character arc (although obviously a lot of them are very simple). I'm not a fan of Fairy Tail due to some serious pacing issues, but I think that qualifies too.

The ensemble cast is often the best part of those series for me but most of the time they are left behind in the dust as the protagonist goes on to murder god. I think Soul Eater meets your criteria. There are 3 main pairs of 2, 2, and 3 partners, and they all get a decent amount of focus, as well as the villains and side characters. Assassination Classroom is about a class of low grade students and delinquents being assigned the task of killing their new teacher, a monster who can move at Mach 20 and claims to have destroyed part of the moon. The Manga covers the students growth as both assassins and individuals. As Ibblebibble said, plenty of sports series are good at the "gathering the team" element, as well as giving a lot of the core cast a fair share of screentime.

Black Clover has a fair bit of it I guess? It never really clicked for me but there's a big cast and lots of them get time / dedicated eps etc. More Seinen than Shonen but Run with the Wind is totally what you're talking about and worth a watch by anyone imo. e: yeah World Trigger fits \/\/\/ That Works fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Oct 22, 2021 |

The ensemble cast is often the best part of those series for me but most of the time they are left behind in the dust as the protagonist goes on to murder god. World Trigger it does have the more standard shonen introduction but the agency all the characters are a part of functions on a squad system and the conflicts they're getting into are like skirmishes between small armies or a small army vs a squad of enemies where cooperation is required to take down even a single one. they don't break the squad structure so despite differences in individual power, the teams are more about working with the strengths and weaknesses of each member. e.g. the MC squad has Mikumo as brains but lacking combat skill/endurance and Yuma who is unnaturally skilled and creative in combat but not at the level of being able/willing to guide the team's strategy. other team members complicate this further and you also get the other allied teams with their own unique compositions. i feel like it does a good job at having enough material for a swath of the cast much wider than just the main trio, but it is working with a Suikoden-level cast so there are definitely those on the fringes that end up remembered more for "oh they're in x's team" or "oh right this is that [character trait] guy" than names. the fact that all those characters are able to be used does mean they're always rotating in and sometimes getting more material to flesh them out, at least.

Are there any anime or manga focused on the parents of shonen protagonists who do normal parent stuff while their children are off saving the universe. A "Parents of protagonists club" where parents hang out to justify why so many adolescents seem to live alone.

What I liked: Lain, basically perfect Paranoia Agent End of Evangelion Eva 18-26 Paprika What I didn't like: Perfect Blue (too on the nose) Ergo Proxy (too long and involved in plot points) Eva 01-17 (same as above) HAL (just a twist) Welcome to the NHK (read in another rec thread this was good vs Paranoia Agent. I didn't finish it, to be fair, but on like episode 12 or so two characters are screaming at each other "I LOVE YOU, I NEED YOU TO LIVE!!!" at the top of a cliff and there's like, waves crashing so that was enough) I think I'm looking for light on plot, heavy on themes type stuff?

Saint Seiya gives everyone an equal spotlight and I think one of its crowning achievements is how it never lags while doing so until the very very end and definitely not in the original 80s show

This feels like a dumb rec because it's a property you've definitely already heard of but someone said One Piece so I feel like I'm justified in saying Jojo. The fights (at least from part 3 on) always tend to cycle between different members as the focus or the entire team collaborating to defeat the villain using their unique powers.

It’s been forever since I watched anime but I want to get back into it. I'm looking for some interesting action anime. I have a decent tolerance for trash, favorite series black lagoon, gits sac, full metal panic, and Gurren Lagan.

Gurren Lagann: Promare, it's a movie but it's got a lot of the same staff as GL and a similar vibe. Ghost in the Shell: Psycho Pass, similar sci-fi cop stuff. Full Metal Panic: Gundam Ironblooded Orphans? Decent mix of deadpan comedy/mecha action.

Yeah, IBO has a good amount of the giant robot action then, so should still work. Like I said, the comedy it does have is very deadpan, not nearly as wacky as FMP gets (especially in fumoffu.)

I dunno if you've checked it out at all, but maybe give Attack on Titan a go if you're looking for action with a bit of eventual political intrigue.

Iron Blooded Orphans has pretty fun giant robot action, assuming you prefer brutal melee fights to lasers and high speed teleporting. It also, like FMP, has a protagonist who'll just shoot people if he's not in a robot. (Which is handy, because about half the episode don't have any mech fights.)

If you want some good action definitely check out jujutsu kaisen, it's basically a big showpiece of cool anime fight scenes (much like one punch man)
