Coaaab posted:Among that awards list, I don't really see Kodansha refraining from picking the series' it publishes Non-Kodansha manga have won in the past, but I see what you mean. It's fairly common for publisher awards to be honest. It's not without merit since their published ones ARE amazingly good.

The Islamic Shock posted:I have an idea for an anime that, given all the animes in existence, I would be surprised doesn't exist. A hero that's summoned to another world/the same world in the future, who is destined to defeat the Demon Lord/whatever, just generally sucks at everything, and has his exceptionally lovely incompetence overwritten by his even more exceptionally awesome luck, to the extent that he wins at everything. Being a male not required at all. Not Konosuba, because Kazuma occasionally is useful. Is there such a thing? There's a soon to be introduced character in Tensei Slime whose whole gimmick is just that.

Jomo posted:S2 is genuinely the most boring, poorly directed, half-baked train-wreck of a thing I've watched in forever. The real crime here is that there were so many drat good shows in the same season that actually deserved a sequel, but instead this turd got renewed for S3. If I recall, one of the committee members of the anime is Crunchyroll who has exclusive rights(maybe, needs confirmation) to havenon their platform(at least for initial runs hence confirmation). If gets more seasons, there's one of your faces to punch.

Electric Phantasm posted:Romance/Romcom honestly thought that's what shoujo meant this whole time. Depends on what you're further looking for. There are many goods one I can rec that are of the relaxing variety where you just sit back and enjoy the fluff and relationship SoL hijinks(Sweat and Soap, Uzaki-chan, Shikimori, Wotakoi, Futari Ashita mo Sorenari ni, Love so Life, Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence, My Perfect Girlfriend), HS comedy stuff mixed in(Lovely Complex, Yandere Kanojo, Ore Monogatari, Oresama Teacher, Pseudo Harem, Senryu Shoujo, and again Shikimori and Love so Life, Takagi-san takes place in MS but still fits here) historical(Victorian Romance Emma, Mademoiselle Butterfly, Taisho Otome Otogibanashi). I'll post more recs once I sift through my bookmarks. Edit: Ones where the couple is already dating or very much established before the story starts or hookup near immediately near the beginning are Shikimori, Sweat and Soap, My Perfect Girlfriend, Yandere Kanojo, Ore Monogatari, Pseudo Harem, and Futari Ashita. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Dec 31, 2022 |

Doctor Teeth posted:Looking for good sword & sorcery fantasy manga (or anime I guess but preferably manga). I'm reading Berserk currently, have ready Fullmetal Alchemist and I bought the first volume of Seven Deadly Sins. Preferably not adaptations of journey to the west or warring states stuff (nothing wrong with those, just not what I'm looking for). Preferably more serious than comedic; I don't mind some comedy but I'm not looking for full-on parody, for example. Undead Adventurer(Very DnD adventure about a bronze tier adventurer getting marked and coming back as undead and working towards his dream of making it to Mithril rank) Bard Roen, Knight of the Frontier(Retired knight wanders the world in his golden years looking for his final resting place and enjoying good food and getting into some interesting adventures) Wolf Wont Sleep(Same author as Bard Roen with near Berserk tier art quality. Sadly got axed, but still worth checking out) Faraway Paladin(Like others said, easily the best story for someone having a second chance at life and some of the best depictions of faith and gods in fiction) Lodoss War(Vintage classic that pretty much set the standard) Slayers(Also a vintage standard setter) Frieren at the Funeral(Long lived elf and former member of the Hero Party that defeated the demon lord travels and experiences the world) Most of these already got mentioned, but they're all REALLY DnD like. Slayers is a bit more comedic than the others, but the world and characters are incredibly well done. Another good one is Helck, but that too leans more comedy, but can be very serious when it needs to be. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Mar 27, 2023 |

Captain Invictus posted:also if you hop into The Faraway Paladin, don't watch the anime, read the manga. the anime is a subpar adaptation, while the manga is stellar. That anime is one of the reasons I've dropped out of the medium(anime not manga). An absolutely stellar series and THAT was the best you could do for it in terms of an animated adaption? It's like that whole fiasco with both the last attempt at a Berserk anime or Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer(there's actually a really good fantasy series from the author, but the name escapes me). Not sure if exactly applicable, but Asebi and Adventures in the Sky World is incredibly solid and you might also be interested in Witch Hat Atelier and while more in the game side since it's a VRMMO series, Shangri-la Frontier is hard not to rec and The Hero is Dead is great fun if you enjoy stuff like Konosuba and don't mind there being a lot dumb horny schlockiness intersperseded with moments of drama and depth.

I also found some more romcom/romcom adjacent series. First three are by the Dragon Maid author(also recommend if it hasn't been already). Ojojojo - Wealthy girl falls in love with plain guy and learns to mellow out and be nicer. I Can't Understand What my Husband is Saying - OL married to super weeb husband. Miss Komori Can't Decline - Very nice girl who takes all requests. Saotome Senshu - Jacked boxer girl champ secretly dates her awkward underclassmen trainer. Madmoiselle Butterfly - Historical manga about a geisha in training falling in love with a tattoo artist. Futari Ashita mo Sorenari ni - Day to day life of a goofy couple dating.

Saoshyant beat me to it, but yeah Shikimori fits the bill perfectly. I'd also add, Drinking is for Married Couples*, Wotakoi, Yandere Kanojo**, Oresama Teacher, Ojojojo, Miss Komori Can't Decline, and Senryu Shoujo. * All of this authors manga qualify actually. ** The title is a play on the words Yankee and Dere to mean that the girl is delinquent yankee, but very lovey dovey and dere to her BF. Saoshyant posted:You'll probably be into Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie then. Unless you are aware of it and think it's too mainstream? It's always nice to see Shikimori I'snt Just Cute get some positive rep due to the toxic reception the anime got. For the Teppu rec, I'd also like to add Saotome Senshu, Hitakakusu which is about the schools boxing beast champion dating her kouhai trainer in secret, Hanakaku: Last Girl Standing which is about a bullied put-upon girl getting into MMA after meeting its club members(this ends abruptly which REALLY sucked, but itmwas still a great read). I'm also gonna rec Medalist because why not, it's an awesome manga and everyone should be reading it.

Also yeah, forgot to list them but I've already read Takagi (great, no notes), When Will Ayumu Make His Move (it reeeeeally dragged towards the end but it was pretty cute) and Nozaki-kun is an all timer. The lack of an anime followup to its first cour is one of the biggest crimes of our era, I'll tell ya. Forgot to add Mogusa-san to the list.

Julias posted:Yeah, the only complaints I saw widespread was that a bunch of people thought it was boring, which, fair. It depended a LOT on where you were. A LOT of anime based reddits and posters went REALLY hard on it ranging from soulless, fake, and hollow to being worse than Rent a Girlfriend with the MC Izumi taking a LOT of the heat. A lot was due to apparently anitubers hyping it as, "The next MDuD" simply because they heard it was popular, so when the series turned out to not be anything like MDuD, it got a ton of negative backlash for being overrated and overhyped.

pork never goes bad posted:I've been enjoying some romcom type anime and manga recently but a lot of em are set in highschool and feature pretty gratuitous fan service of underage characters. I'm looking for recommendations that aren't quite so skeezy, both manga and anime. Things that are somewhat low fan service, with adult protagonists, cute character designs with distinctive individual partners (I'm interested in both straight and gay stories in this sorta space with any combo of genders - I really want the main protagonists to feel like they have a connection more than I have any desires for who the protagonists are or even how many of them there are, though prototypical harem stories have a hard bar to clear), and romantic payoff achieved in like not a huge investment of time. I haven't read or watched a ton in this sorta genre but for an anime Sign of Affection is an imperfect example from this season, kaguya-sama could be perfect if they were in college, and the manga for Hokkaido gals has just a bit too much fan service for my tastes and is a little slow. I'm hoping y'all can point me to some cool manga and anime. Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
