I just binge read Grand Blue over a day and watched the anime over another. Are there other series about whacky university hijinks out there? Seems most stuff is high-school-based.

I should probably have mentioned that I found that the funniest bits were the guys being absolute bastards to each other  Yes, I have already watched Konosuba.

Looking for some more fun romcoms to read/watch after catching up to We Never Learn, Quintessential Quintuplets and Tomo-chan. Already watched Wotakoi, might check out the manga version. I've also already watched Gamers! and plan to watch MMO Junkie and Tsuredure Children. Any other suggestions? Either medium works for me, and I don't really mind setting, but more working-life ones like Wotakoi would be appreciated to break up the constant high-school setting.

Looking for some good character drama (but not melodrama) anime series after binging through Bloom Into You. Was thinking either Tsuki ga Kirei or Sound! Euphonium after I finish off Tsurezure Children, which one should I watch first?

I started with Tsuki, if only because it was shorter Enjoying it 2 episodes in at least. Having seen gifs of Euphonium and wanting to prep for Liz and the Blue Bird once it becomes available to me, Euphonium is definitely up next. Rakugo is already in my to-watch list, I'll fit it in somewhere in my KyoAni/PA Works spree.

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.

DamnGlitch posted: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 I really enjoyed the other two (see avatar), so I'm betting that I'll love Iroha too.

Last pa works show I checked out was about half of kuromakuro and it wasn’t hitting like iroha / shirobako 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.

I read Ookami Shounen and it was an extremely good romcom-drama that doesn't overstay its welcome (though I do wish that we got to see a bit more of those 3 doofuses in the future).

Endorph posted:A Place Further Than the Universe is pretty recent but was super critically acclaimed and is only 13 episodes. It's also good. Gonna second Hyouka, it's some of Kyoani's best work. My own little suggestion is Shirobako which I like the most out of PAWork's catalogue.

Folks that have watched Given, would you recommend for someone who's never watched/read BL? I didn't think I was into yuri until I watched Bloom Into You, so I'm willing to give BL a shot.

Everything Burrito posted:e: are you asking about Given or other recs? I mostly meant Given itself, but I don't mind other reccs. I read a bunch of stuff in other genres so I don't mind a mix, but let's say uhhhh mid-20s or so. Unlicensed stuff is fine.

Whilst I'm not reading/watching any of the books/film adaptations, someone is LPing and translating one of the JP-only video games made by From Software, of all the developers. LP starts here, if you're interested.

Liz and the Blue Bird. You don't need to have watched Sound! Euphonium, which it is a spinoff of, but it helps a bit. It's pretty much a fully self-enclosed story.

Same folks made both shows as well so you get similar high-quality sports action!!
|
One final suggestion: Run With The Wind. Based off a novel so has a proper ending, ~25 episodes in total, about a group of college guys who get roped into a long-distance running club with the aim of getting into Japan's most famous marathon. Great humour, great drama, great animation, lots of good good boys and a good dog.

Oh Snapple! posted:Been watching Haikyu and really enjoying it, it's definitely putting me in a sports show mood. I've jotted Run With the Wind down since I saw it mentioned a couple of times but would love to get some more suggestions. Hanebado! if you're down with hyper-melodramatic badminton. It's a very fun watch.

Have you read the manga? It starts off a lot more light-hearted and then takes a wild swerve into full-on Darth Ayano territory.

Cephas posted:Any recommendations for stuff about making art? I'm looking to find manga or anime about drawing, painting, manga-making, photography, or other artistic subjects. Blue Period (fine art), Eizouken (animation), and Kakukaku Shikajika (fine art, manga) are like the ideals for me. It's already been recommended but I am going to second Shirobako. It's honestly my favourite anime of all time.

Railgun is the best of those series, I personally watched Season 1 of Index to get some context before only watching Railgun, but you can easily just watch Railgun and get 95% of the story fine.
