Apologies if this is the wrong forum to be discussing such a subject matter because I needed to get it off my chest as I am having hard time finding Anime series in the modern era of the medium that are not based on a pre existing work.

I mean, don’t get me wrong in that light novel based stuff such as KimiZero is a fine show for its cozy romance vibes as I just want to start writing a catalog for myself about some of the finest anime series that were completely original so that I don’t have to wait for the show to catch up with its source material as I enjoy watching action based shows with supernatural elements.

Need an anime recommendations like Prison School,Highschool dxd,highschool of the dead,etc with similar ecchi vibes and not too srs story,don't include hentai just ecchi upto these levels...Fun elements like double meaning comedy and harem are all welcomed like prison school principal comedy and in dxd showing oppai is reward for mc...

examples of "tweaking":

jotaro, polnareff, and kakyoin laughing at two identical rocks in jjba
light yagami from death note
darby from jjba after he lost to bluffing

i just wanna see a girl do a crazy laugh,, its funny

I've watched and liked: vinland saga, classrom of the elite, solo leveling, shaman king, both FMA, OPM, demon slayer, frieren, JJK, CSM, the emeinence in shadow, attck on titan, rurouni kenshin. death note, mushoku tensei. monster. and maybe a couple more.

The ones i've tried but couldn't go on watching: code geass(liked the main character, but it's just too old and too cartoony for me), same goes for Dr. Stone. There is one I was expecting to hook me up but it didn't, I don't remember the name, but it's pretty well know(people there can use sort of magical abilities, the main character is blode and there's this strongest mustache guy who iirc commads shadows or something). It also has like 4 season and the order is messed up.

To sum it up, I think I just can't watch too old anime, espesially if it's unserious, cartoony/childish and/or poorly aimated. If we take solo leveling as the lowest bar animation and entertainment wise, is there something to watch?

Romantic as in main characters falling in love throughout the story and doing romantic things together like going on dates, picnics, kissing, etc. I know it sounds silly/weird but basically an anime that has the same vibe as La La Land, Titanic, or K-Dramas lol

The ending doesn't have to be happy though. I accept anime where the lovers don't end up together in the end too.

First of all, yes I know that the Fem Draco meme has kind of a dark history behind its origin as somehow the meme inspired me to see if there were any anime series about a girl who has superpowers that has a Tsundere like trait where she eventually warms up to a guy.

I mean, I don’t mind if the show is a bit spicy in nature because I was looking for some fun fantasy anime with strong romantic elements about a couple who can use superpowers where again a girl who comes off as bossy at first glance eventually warms up to her love interest since I was wondering if there were any romantic stories like Harry Potter.

Hi,

As an adult (40+ - am I an old fart?) I'm looking to get into Anime. I did try a few (one-two episodes) in the past, but felt it was either childish, or just not interesting.

So I'm looking for Anime for adults, I'm looking for a wide range of genres - love sci-fi/fantasy/horror/action/mecha robots, etc.

Any good suggestions would be appreciated.

Girl that tries to look tough because she is a softie and get bullies and bullies the top bully without knowing he is, but he is amused and plays along with her, protecting her behind her back.

Bonus points if she tries to make it up for him while "bullying" him.

I wanna know about them , if u knew then please tell me .

Hi everyone! I've been trying to identify an anime I watched as a kid, but I can only remember a few scenes from it. I've already ruled out quite a few series, so I'm hoping someone might recognize this description.

• I watched it on TV, no streaming services, definitely no later than 2013
• The anime itself could be significantly older, possibly from the 1980s, 1990s, or early 2000s
• I remember the animation having a somewhat retro, hand-drawn style

At some point in the story, a huge mass or dome of absolute darkness appeared and started expanding, seemingly swallowing or engulfing everything it came into contact with.

It wasn't a dark sky, a shadow cast over an area, or a metaphorical representation of evil, but an actual, physical phenomenon within the anime's world, almost like an expanding void or black hole.
The characters perceived it as an extremely dangerous and potentially catastrophic event.

What I remember most distinctly is that scientists and military personnel were trying to study and understand this phenomenon, but their attempts were unsuccessful.
I also vaguely remember them attempting to send probes or remotely controlled robots/androids into the darkness, without success. I think their equipment stopped functioning or transmitting once it entered the affected area

I have also a vague recollection that the appearance of this darkness might have been connected to a major plot twist involving a female character, possibly an antagonist, who sacrificed herself or gave something up. However, I could be mixing this up with another anime.

Some anime I've already ruled out are:

• Akira
• Neon Genesis Evangelion
• Giant Robo
• Gilgamesh
• Digimon Tamers
• RahXephon
• Code Geass
• Eureka Seven
• Blue Seed
• Soul Eater
• Dennou Coil
• Noein
• Darker than Black

I'm not sure whether it was a TV series, an OVA, or a movie, although I suspect it was a TV series.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Even suggestions for specific episodes involving something similar would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance to everyone!
