I finished my very first Yakusoku no Neverland fanart!! Feedback is highly appreciated :)
I'm new to anime, please recommend me some stuff
So, I got into anime a few weeks ago and I am HOOKED. I have watched a few animes (Kakeguri, Yakusoku No Neverland) and I'm about to finish Hunter X Hunter (my favourite so far) and I would like a few recommendations. I'm into Thriller, Magic, Mystrey and Horror. Fantasy is also good, if done correctly. I don't like Sci Fi or romance and I am not a fan of NSFW content (although I'm fine if it's mild). Your reccomendations don't necessarily have to fit in all these categories.
Thanks in advance😊

Looking for Animes to watch?
Jujutsu Kaisen One of my favourites past Seasons that has a more mature feeling in shounen animes.
MAL Attack on Titan Final Season If you liked the past seasons but you waited so long that you don't care anymore just give it a try, Season 3 has some sick animations and the Final Season is interesting too.
MAL Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba In my opinion it was more hyped than it should have been it felt pretty rushed early on and they kinda forced emphaty but it was still realy good if you like shounen animes in general. It's one of the higher quality ones aswell.
MAL My Hero Academia If you did not finish or even start it give it a try. Some shounen anime always follow the principals like friendship is power and nothing bad happens ever so it's a killer for some people, but MHA isn't quiet like that (atleast not that obvious). If you like the Zero to Hero type of Animes this one will be your pick since it's a high quality Anime aswell.
MAL That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Yes it's an isekai, but in my opinion one of the better ones. As you can speculate in the title it starts off on the Monster side with the MC being a Slime. It starts off strong aswell in my opinion because it has that civilization kinda feel because he starts from scratch trying to build his empire by meeting people and building homes and more. It sadly gets cliché in my opinion in the 2nd half of the anime and focuses less around civ and stuff but still if you are a fan of isekais and shounen MUST WATCH.
MAL Dr. Stone What a unique anime that one is. With Humanity being petrified to stone from something unknown the world turned back to the stone age. Senku a genius that loves science with his mind still being intact has a goal of reviving all 7 billion people and getting back all technology and everything with the power of science. But not everyone wants to revive all 7 billion people.
The Promised Neverland If you look for something entirely new The Promised Neverland gottchu. It's about a friendly loving orphanage with small children and their "mom". Some of the older kids learn the truth about that orphanage.
It's a farm and not an orphanage and they try to flee. All they know is that Monsters rule the world. It already has a 2nd season so if you are looking for story in an anime this one is your pick.
MAL The Rising of the Shield Hero It's in my opinion the best Isekai anime out there. In comparison to others i would call it high quality and very entertaining. I could say more about it but just watch it if you like Isekais.
MAL Dororo! Oh boy i love that one. It's in the edo-period (i think thats what you call it with samurais and stuff and wars). The story is about a boy that got birthed with no arms/legs/skin/eyes NOTHING only the will to live because of a father that prayed to the demons willing to give everything so that his land stays fertile. Put on a boat down the river it follows the boy that wants everything back.. but how?
PS: it has a lit fucking opening
MAL Hai to Gensou no Grimgar What would actually happen if we transported to another world? Would we really be able to kill goblins etc.and go on adventures for a living? Would we really be strangely athletic instantly? thats what this anime got me thinking because thats kinda the story. A group of teenagers transported to another world and among them normies like you and me that have to earn money and make a living through the "Guild". But fighting is not that easy. This anime has a good artstyle aswell.

What manga made you say "Damn, that's completely original..."
Some examples:
Yakusoku no neverland: All the lore, the cliffhangers and chapters feel fresh and not awfully copied from any other mangas (I dropped it for a while so i dont know if it's finished or posted monthly or weekly)
Sousou no frieren: World perspective as a millennial (?) elf after the defeat of the demon king. Truly different. (Weekly)
Oyasumi Punpun: I fucking hate you Inio Asano. As someome with a fragile mental stability... If you're weak don't read it, it's not sad, it's... Just dont read it. (finished)
Chainsaw man: Guy loves too much his chainsaw-tomato-dog and ends up in a platonic relationship with a marvelous girl. I... Nothing. (weekly)
Song of the night walkers: All my close friends saw Instagram stories of things I found wandering the streets at 5am. (weekly)
Chi no wadachi: Mommy Issues, that's it (weekly)
Horimiya: This one is kind of... Normal, maybe it hit different because of me having a big crush in my nowadays girlfriend but, man, Horimiya feels refreshing. (monthly)

Anime Like Yakusoku no Neverland/The Promised Neveland
Are there any anime out their like Yakusoku no Neverland/The Promised Neverland? I like the concept of how they are trying to find a way out and escape. I feel like this anime could’ve been better with less gruesome scenes. I feel like some scenes made feel like I don’t really like this part at all. Like that one scene where it shows Isabella’s evil face. Also some parts doesn’t make sense, like though out the whole story Isabella is like a character who you’d categorize as a mean, evil character but at the end of S1 Isabella has a contradiction and she becomes a caring character she hopes they escape. Overall as a whole anime I rate it a 6, this anime wasn’t really bad but it wasn’t good. It kinda reminded me of Re:Zero because it was some what confusing. It wasn’t as confusing as Re:Zero though Re:Zero definitely had me wondering like what the hell happened. But it is an anime that I would like and to see a similar anime, I feel like if they play S2 out correctly it could be really good. I feel like there are enough chapters to make a S3 I haven’t read the manga yet but I saw that on 1 site it said that they would need a S3 if they were gonna finish the whole series as a whole. Honestly though I feel like S3 would be a good anime. This is my personal thoughts but I feel like at the end of S3 they should made a scene where someone important dies for example Emma or Ray and they skip a few years ahead of time and see a world full of peace with demons and humans. It’s definitely gonna be very sad but it’s gonna be very good like how someone sacrificed themselves to save everyone else. My personal options only not what actually happens I think.

Challenge. Looking for 10/10 anime which can leave me with 'existential crisis' (might be slightly longer post cuz there is a little story about me and I saw tons of anime)
Hi reddit!
I went through some old recommendation posts and I didn't find anything useful so here I am. My taste is rly weird. I don't have any 10/10 anime but I might be too harsh. I don't have any specific genre in mind... but maybe I'll start with some details about me and my history with anime to help you a little bit ;) I've watched tons of anime. I started when I was like 8yo (I was born in '92) I've watched some TV shows like Pokemon, Beyblade, Saint Seiya but the top of the top was Dragon ball. Back then I didn't know what anime is. For me it was just cartoon like many others but on a different level. For sure DBZ was the first anime that I fell in love...and I was like 10-12yo. Now I am 28 and still love it! When I was like 16-17 I found out that my classmate watches anime. He had 2 recommendations. Death Note and Code Geass. I wachted Death Note first and it was mind blowing but after Code Geass... well it is still my number 1 but that's story for another time. After those 2 series I knew that it was just the beginning. And that is how it started. My taste has changed a lot over the years and I can handle much more now ;) Lately I am watching mostly mediocre stuff that I can forget right after last episode e.g Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha, SAO, Enen no Shouboutai, Honzuki no Gekokujou and so on... there isn't much plot twist, story is quite straightforward and they are just fun to watch and kinda top rated in season. Now I am trying to find something which can leave me with 'existential crisis' if you know what I mean. Preferably finished series but not necessary. Last time I had that feeling with Shokugeki no Souma (surprisingly). I almost dropped that anime after few first episodes(those reaction were just... back then it was just too much) but as I said my taste has changed and surprisingly I started to enjoy that anime a lot. In last season you can notice that the author wanted to finish it quickly but I don't mind that. There were little secrets like Joichiro's story and his relationship with Erina which added some flavor. I like how it all makes sense at the end. I will not go into details anymore but I hope you know what I mean if you've watched it. To my surprise I was really sad that it was the end so I watched it again ;) I want that feeling again because I had it like 3 times in my life tbh.
I'd like to add that I saw Naruto.. I started to like it only when the war began and when Madara was resurrected... so after 450 (?) episodes... before that I almost dropped it 3 or 4 times. I don't like space, sci-fi, mecha, too much ecchi. Those anime must be 11/10 for me to (maybe) accept it. Horrors are kinda lame. I didn't find good title yet. I am not a big fan of anime where every episode is about different story. I like when next episode starts where last ends. I didn't like My hero academia cuz main character broke his hands over and over again (and I saw few clips on yt and looks like he still is...? I am not sure). Looks like there is no or to small progress, repeated pattern over and over again.. and anime is about fighting and heroes so I'll expect some progress. It was kinda boring for me after a while. I saw many of you recommended it in other posts so that's why I included it here. I mainly like fighting/action anime. Like Shounen and most isekais. But if it's good and interesting one I can watch basically anything. Drama, slice of life, romance, sport, adventure, school... I saw many newish anime (from 2015+) and not that much but still a lot older ones. And that's it I guess ;)
My top 3 (4) are:
1) Code Geas (score 9,5)
2) Death Note, Steins;Gate, Monster (all score 9 - can't rly decide)
Anime that I like but I can't give them 9 becasue my taste is rly weird, I am harsh or they just don't deserve it in my opinion (mostly 7-8/10):
Katanagatari, Shingeki no Kyojin, Haikyu, SAO, Honzuki no Gekokujou, Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Youjo Senki, Violet Evergarden, KIMETSU NO YAIBA, Pshycho Pass, Arte, Deca- Dence, Dororo, Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari, Plunderer, Made in Abyss, Re:Zero, Yakusoku no Neverland, Nanatsu no Taizai, Ao no Exorcist and so on...
Anime that I dropped:
My hero academia, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, mushishi, mob pshycho 100, Clannad, Evangelion (maybe I was too young for? I kinda want to try it one more time)
I tried to include those anime that I saw/dropped and that I found in some earlier posts here. You can assume that I've watched those more popular series like overlord, kuroko no baske, another, elfen lied, bleach, fairy tail, FMA but if it's your top 5 feel free to share :)
Sorry that I don't have any online list of watched anime and I posted such list here. Pls forgive me :(
TL;DR
10/10 recommendation pls. List of some anime that I've seen is slightly above and bolded.
Thanks!

A Not So Serious Analysis of the Top 150 Anime Fandoms in Fanfiction
(This was originally posted on
/anime for an essay writing contest they were doing. I've made some edits, removing or rewriting the dumber jokes and adding some content that was cut out of the original post due to wordcount constraints)
This is going to be a numbers focused essay, as words are for squares.
Alas, we’ll have to use words to get some disclaimers out of the way on the limitations of this analysis. If you want to skip this, there’s a TL;DR below.
- First, special thanks to ToastyStats and http://fandomstats.org/ who kindly posted some of the data gathering tools online.
- I’m getting all this data from AO3. This isn’t representative of all fandom or even all English speaking fandom. There’s a pretty significant differences between the major fanworks sites, which can be further read about here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1428631
- All the tags are tagged by the authors and thus rather unreliable, there’s wild variation on what different people consider different ratings or even relationship categories. Also there’s volunteers going around wrangling tags to make sure that different wordings for the same concept point to the same tag. Why must AO3 be designed to be easier to find things rather than easier to do statistical analyses with? Clearly the AO3 webdevs have mixed up priorities.
- I can make mistakes. Also the tools I used to gather this data, but it’s honestly probably going to be me that’s making any mistakes.
- Certain tags can overlap, e.g. the relationship categories. I didn’t get the data on how these overlap.
- I only got data on the top 150 most popular fandoms categorized in the Anime & Manga category (which also includes a handful of video games and media that isn't really anime or manga. I don’t know how these are categorized).
- The categorization of different adaptations of the same story are not consistent. Some fandoms have separate tags for the manga and anime versions, and some are combined.
TL;DR: DON’T TRUST THESE NUMBERS
Anyway: Now the numbers.
First: Here’s the top 20 anime fandoms on AO3 and the number of fanworks for each, just to give you an idea of what fandoms we’re looking at.
Fandom | Total Fics |
僕のヒーローアカデミア Boku no Hero Academia My Hero Academia | 114178 |
Haikyuu!! | 70838 |
Naruto | 57134 |

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga) | 9939 |
Kuroshitsuji Black Butler | 8916 |
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga | 8494 |
Dragon Ball | 8320 |
An interesting illustration that the anime community on Reddit isn’t representative of the anime community at large. AO3 isn’t either, but the fact that there are thousands of works written about anime that rarely get talked about on anime is illuminating.
Those were some cool numbers, but we can do better. How about the top 10 gayest fandoms?
Or, more accurately, the 10 fandoms with the highest proportion of fanworks tagged with the M/M category.
Fandom | Total Fics | M/M |
Junjou Romantica | 823 | 93.92% |
Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi | 615 | 93.33% |

ダイヤのA Daiya no A Ace of Diamond | 7046 | 84.35% |
Yuri on Ice? More like Y-
Anyway, somewhat unsurprising, a lot of yaoi anime and sports anime.
Let’s look at the top 10 Yuri-est anime fandoms
AKA the fandoms with highest proportion of fanworks tagged with the F/F category.
AKA my new ‘to watch’ list on MAL
Fandom | Total Fics | F/F |
少女☆歌劇 レヴュー・スタァライト Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight (Anime) | 1422 | 93.67% |
BanG Dream! (Anime) | 1521 | 88.63% |
Love Live! School Idol Project | 4525 | 86.81% |
Love Live! Sunshine!! | 3028 | 86.46% |
Little Witch Academia | 1725 | 86.32% |
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika Puella Magi Madoka Magica | 2502 | 51.20% |
Kill la Kill (Anime & Manga) | 1173 | 47.49% |
Shoujo Kakumei Utena Revolutionary Girl Utena | 1143 | 46.63% |
プリキュア PreCure Pretty Cure Series | 697 | 34.00% |
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon | 5572 | 29.63% |
A lot of yuri anime don’t have large enough fandoms to make it to the top 150, F/F fanfics being much less popular than M/M in most fanfic communities. A truly tragic state.
I guess we’ll also have to do the straightest fandoms.
Or, to be annoyingly accurate, the fandoms with the highest proportion of fanworks tagged F/M
Fandom | Total Fics | F/M |
赤髪の白雪姫 Akagami no Shirayukihime Snow White with the Red Hair (Anime & Manga) | 935 | 79.04% |
Miraculous Ladybug | 31326 | 70.64% |
InuYasha - A Feudal Fairy Tale | 7024 | 70.33% |
Diabolik Lovers | 707 | 67.19% |
月刊少女野崎くん Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun | 600 | 64.83% |
七つの大罪 – 鈴木央 Nanatsu no Taizai The Seven Deadly Sins - Suzuki Nakaba (Anime & Manga) | 1291 | 63.44% |
Hakuouki | 754 | 63.13% |
約束のネバーランド Yakusoku no Neverland The Promised Neverland (Manga) | 1637 | 62.92% |
Princess Tutu | 703 | 62.02% |
Fruits Basket - Takaya Natsuki (Manga) | 636 | 61.32% |
There’s probably some logic here, but I’m not too familiar with any of these. Probably tells you something about me.

Anyway, let’s look at the least romantic fandom.

モブサイコ100 Mob Psycho 100 | 5597 | 34.36% |
The low percentages across the board tells you something about AO3. Although, people are notoriously inconsistent with this tag.
Let’s look at the most polyamorous fandom.

Land of the Lustrous takes the massive lead, all of it’s characters being attractive rocks. Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are both on this list multiple times, showcasing the difficulties that come with categorizing and analyzing fandoms. It also showcases other things, but we won’t talk about those implications.
Let’s look at fanworks rated as appropriate for General Audiences.

In general fanfic tends to be less smutty than it’s perceived to be. Even on AO3, the most free-speech-y/adult fanfic archive, General Audience and Teen ratings make up the majority of works written and posted. What is most popular, however, is a different story.
Skipping the statistics on Teen and Mature and going straight to the juicy stuff, let’s look at statistics on Explicitly rated fanwork proportions!

Fun fact! Psycho-Pass has a lower proportion of Explicitly rated works than Love Live, which makes me suspect that there’s a typo or something somewhere. Although there is an adage that fanfic writers write what’s missing in the original work, something that I will refer to in the future to explain any other possible errors.
To finish off the ratings section, we’ll look at the fandoms that are worst and best at rating things, that is, most tagged as ‘Not Rated’. Unlike most other tags, a work has to be rated and can only have one rating tag - it’ll default to this one if there are no others.

Land of the Lustrous makes some amount of sense. How do you categorize rock-on-rock or rock-on-mysterious lunar entity violence or romance? I can’t find a pattern with the rest of the list. It clearly doesn’t have anything to do with the big-brainedness of the fandom, otherwise we’d see more yuri fandoms with flawless rating skills.
Let’s look at some content warnings to finish this off.
This next table may have the possibility of leaning into spoiler territory, being a Major Character Death tag, but I’ll let you decide if stats on proportions of fanworks with this tag constitute spoilers.
Fandom | Total Fics | Major Character Death |
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika Puella Magi Madoka Magica | 2502 | 18.78% |
Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc | 7639 | 18.12% |

Sword Art Online (Anime & Manga) | 1122 | 14.97% |
Dragon Ball | 8320 | 13.82% |
And there’s Psycho-Pass. I was expecting you earlier. What a weird fandom, mostly due to quirks of what people write about and nothing to do with any errors on my part.
Underage tagged fanwork proportions:
Fandom | Total Fics | Underage |
Loveless | 618 | 20.87% |
Kuroshitsuji Black Butler | 8916 | 13.73% |
地縛少年花子くん Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (Manga) | 1332 | 13.14% |
鬼滅の刃 Kimetsu no Yaiba (Manga) | 6672 | 9.64% |
鬼滅の刃 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (Anime) | 5172 | 8.06% |
モブサイコ100 Mob Psycho 100 | 5597 | 7.88% |
Ao no Exorcist Blue Exorcist | 2169 | 7.61% |
Eyeshield 21 | 684 | 7.31% |
Tennis no Oujisama Prince of Tennis | 5953 | 7.29% |
Hunter X Hunter | 7281 | 6.72% |
A common theme among these appears to be canonically very young characters who aren't portrayed as particularly young, either in appearance or behavior. Sort of the opposite of the classic 'she's a 1000 year old dragon who just happens to look like a child' justification.
And Rape/Non-con fanwork proportions:
Fandom | Total Fics | Rape/Non-Con |
Diabolik Lovers | 707 | 11.32% |
Finder no Hyouteki Finder Series | 1997 | 7.71% |
Promare (2019) | 2061 | 7.18% |
Vampire Knight (Anime & Manga) | 1172 | 6.83% |
闇の末裔 Yami No Matsuei Descendants of Darkness | 1190 | 6.55% |
Devil May Cry | 6317 | 6.06% |
Fate/Zero | 1556 | 5.98% |
Kuroshitsuji Black Butler | 8916 | 5.96% |
鬼滅の刃 Kimetsu no Yaiba (Manga) | 6672 | 5.92% |
Banana Fish (Anime & Manga) | 2622 | 5.53% |
A pretty high degree of overlap with the Explicit rated fandom proportion table. A notable outlier is the Golden Kamui fandom, which is at the top of the Explicit table, but 57th in this one. I will say that one is one of the smaller fandoms, so a larger amount of quirkiness among that data is to be expected. Dr. Stone is also a similar outlier in this trend, but is a much bigger fandom. I can't explain that one.
Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings: Yet another confusing table:
Fandom | Total Fics | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings |
FAKE (Manga) | 1197 | 86.97% |
約束のネバーランド Yakusoku no Neverland The Promised Neverland (Manga) | 1637 | 55.59% |

Diabolik Lovers | 707 | 46.25% |
Black Clover - Tabata Yuki (Anime & Manga) | 814 | 45.82% |
Noblesse (Manhwa) | 794 | 44.71% |
I looked into the FAKE fandom because I was certain that I had made an error there, only to find that a good 976 of the now 1206 fics there were written by the same person. Who, from the look of it, tags all their fics with both the 'Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings' and the 'No Archive Warnings Apply' tags. They've also written 900+ Torchwood fics. Who are you? What is this dedication? I am 80% impressed, 10% frustrated that they messed up my numbers, and 10% frightened of the power they possess.
Fandom | Total Fics | No Archive Warnings Apply |
FAKE (Manga) | 1197 | 89.31% |
Hikaru no Go | 1968 | 79.42% |
Princess Tutu | 703 | 77.52% |
月刊少女野崎くん Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun | 600 | 74.33% |
Saiyuki (Anime & Manga) | 3064 | 71.21% |
Natsume Yuujinchou Natsume's Book of Friends | 1351 | 71.13% |
BanG Dream! (Anime) | 1521 | 71.01% |
Cardfight!! Vanguard | 775 | 69.55% |
A3! (Video Game) | 1804 | 69.24% |
xxxHoLic | 1341 | 68.90% |
There's FAKE again. The rest of this table is General Audiences 2.0
Anyway, that's about it. Before I go, let me say that I hope this analysis was entertaining and maybe gave you an anime to look into. Analysis like these are pretty fun to do, let me know if you want to see more of this stuff.

[Essay Contest] An Analysis of the Top 150 Anime Fandoms in Fanfiction
This is going to be a numbers focused essay, as words are for squares.
Alas, we’ll have to use words to get some disclaimers out of the way on the limitations of this analysis. If you want to skip this, there’s a TL;DR below.
- First, I’m getting all this data from Archive Of Our Own (AO3). This isn’t representative of all fandom or even all English speaking fandom. There’s a pretty significant differences between the major fanworks sites, which can be further read about here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1428631
- All the tags are tagged by the authors and thus rather unreliable, there’s wild variation on what different people consider different ratings or even relationship categories. Also there’s volunteers going around wrangling tags to make sure that different wordings for the same concept point to the same tag. Making things easier to find and harder to statistics.
- I can make mistakes. Also the tools I used to gather this data, but it’s honestly probably going to be me that’s making any mistakes.
- Also, certain tags can overlap, e.g. the relationship categories. I didn’t get the data on how these overlap.
- I only got data on the top 150 most popular fandoms categorized in the Anime & Manga category (which also includes a handful of anime video games, I don’t know how these are categorized).
- The categorization of different adaptations of the same story are not consistent. Some fandoms have separate tags for the manga and anime versions, and some are combined.
- Special thanks to ToastyStats and http://fandomstats.org/ who kindly posted some of the data gathering tools online for attractive, big-brained individuals like me to use for interesting and sexy statistical analyses.
TL;DR: DON’T TRUST THESE NUMBERS
Anyway: Now the numbers.
First: Here’s the top 20 anime fandoms on AO3 and the number of fanworks for each, just to give you an idea of what fandoms we’re looking at.
Fandom | Total Fics |
僕のヒーローアカデミア Boku no Hero Academia My Hero Academia | 114178 |
Haikyuu!! | 70838 |
Naruto | 57134 |
Shingeki no Kyojin Attack on Titan | 43560 |
Hetalia: Axis Powers | 37108 |
Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime) | 36462 |
ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | 31794 |
Miraculous Ladybug | 31326 |
One Piece | 20817 |

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga) | 9939 |
Kuroshitsuji Black Butler | 8916 |
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood & Manga | 8494 |
Dragon Ball | 8320 |
An interesting illustration that the anime community on Reddit isn’t representative of the anime community at large. AO3 isn’t either, but the fact that there are thousands of works written about anime that rarely get talked about here is illuminating.
Those were some cool numbers, but we can do better. How about the top 10 gayest fandoms?
Or, more accurately, the 10 fandoms with the highest proportion of fanworks tagged with the M/M category.
Fandom | Total Fics | M/M |
Junjou Romantica | 823 | 93.92% |
Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi | 615 | 93.33% |
No. 6 (Anime & Manga) | 648 | 92.28% |
Finder no Hyouteki Finder Series | 1997 | 89.48% |
Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime) | 36462 | 88.19% |
Promare (2019) | 2061 | 87.14% |
Banana Fish (Anime & Manga) | 2622 | 86.84% |
富豪刑事 Balance:UNLIMITED Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited (Anime) | 664 | 86.60% |
Free! | 16629 | 84.85% |
ダイヤのA Daiya no A Ace of Diamond | 7046 | 84.35% |
Yuri on Ice? More like Y-
Anyway, somewhat unsurprising, a lot of yaoi anime and sports anime.
Let’s look at the top 10 Yuri-est anime fandoms
AKA the fandoms with highest proportion of fanworks tagged with the F/F category.
AKA my new ‘to watch’ list on MAL
Fandom | Total Fics | F/F |
少女☆歌劇 レヴュー・スタァライト Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight (Anime) | 1422 | 93.67% |
BanG Dream! (Anime) | 1521 | 88.63% |
Love Live! School Idol Project | 4525 | 86.81% |
Love Live! Sunshine!! | 3028 | 86.46% |
Little Witch Academia | 1725 | 86.32% |
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika Puella Magi Madoka Magica | 2502 | 51.20% |
Kill la Kill (Anime & Manga) | 1173 | 47.49% |
Shoujo Kakumei Utena Revolutionary Girl Utena | 1143 | 46.63% |
プリキュア PreCure Pretty Cure Series | 697 | 34.00% |
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon | 5572 | 29.63% |
A lot of yuri anime don’t have large enough fandoms to make it to the top 150, F/F fanfics being much less popular than M/M in most fanfic communities. A truly tragic state. Also, shoutout to the Little Witch Academia fandom. Sorry about abandoning my daily posts about LWA fandom statistics on the rewatch that’s going on.
I guess we’ll also have to do the straightest fandoms.
Or, to be annoyingly accurate, the fandoms with the highest proportion of fanworks tagged F/M
Fandom | Total Fics | F/M |
赤髪の白雪姫 Akagami no Shirayukihime Snow White with the Red Hair (Anime & Manga) | 935 | 79.04% |
Miraculous Ladybug | 31326 | 70.64% |
InuYasha - A Feudal Fairy Tale | 7024 | 70.33% |
Diabolik Lovers | 707 | 67.19% |
月刊少女野崎くん Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun | 600 | 64.83% |
七つの大罪 – 鈴木央 Nanatsu no Taizai The Seven Deadly Sins - Suzuki Nakaba (Anime & Manga) | 1291 | 63.44% |
Hakuouki | 754 | 63.13% |
約束のネバーランド Yakusoku no Neverland The Promised Neverland (Manga) | 1637 | 62.92% |
Princess Tutu | 703 | 62.02% |
Fruits Basket - Takaya Natsuki (Manga) | 636 | 61.32% |
There’s probably some logic here, but I’m not too familiar with any of these. Probably tells you something about me.
–-
Anyway, let’s look at the least romantic fandom.

Pandora Hearts | 1182 | 34.77% |
モブサイコ100 Mob Psycho 100 | 5597 | 34.36% |
The low percentages across the board tells you something about AO3. Although, people are notoriously inconsistent with this tag.
Let’s look at the most polyamorous fandom.
I could be more accurate, but let’s not be!
Fandom | Total Fics | Multi |
Lupin III | 630 | 13.81% |
Ranma 1/2 | 925 | 13.73% |

New Dangan Ronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing | 10321 | 10.01% |
Vampire Knight (Anime & Manga) | 1172 | 9.64% |
Large casts of both male and female characters seems to be the common element among all these fandoms.
And the most ‘Other’ relationshippy fandom
AKA the 10 fandoms with the highest proportion of works tagged with Other relationships
Fandom | Total Fics | Other |
宝石の国 Houseki no Kuni Land of the Lustrous (Anime & Manga) | 691 | 57.45% |

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon | 681 | 6.31% |
Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS | 1696 | 6.25% |
Land of the Lustrous takes the massive lead, all of it’s characters being attractive rocks. Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh are both on this list multiple times, showcasing the difficulties that come with categorizing and analyzing fandoms. It also showcases other things, but we won’t talk about those implications.
Let’s look at fanworks rated as appropriate for General Audiences.
Both the top ten proportion-fanworks-tagged and the lowest ten

In general fanfic tends to be less smutty than it’s perceived to be. Even on AO3, the most free-speech-y/adult fanfic archive, General Audience and Teen ratings make up the majority of works written and posted. What is most popular, however, is a different story.
Skipping the statistics on Teen and Mature and going straight to the juicy stuff, let’s look at statistics on Explicitly rated fanwork proportions!
Fandom | Total Fics | Explicit |
ゴールデンカムイ Golden Kamuy (Manga) | 671 | 33.08% |
Promare (2019) | 2061 | 31.20% |

Miraculous Ladybug | 31326 | 3.04% |
BanG Dream! (Anime) | 1521 | 2.96% |
Fun fact! Psycho-Pass has a lower proportion of Explicitly rated works than Love Live, which makes me suspect that there’s a typo or something somewhere. Although there is an adage that fanfic writers write what’s missing in the original work, something that I will refer to in the future to explain any other possible errors.
To finish off the ratings section, we’ll look at the fandoms that are worst and best at rating things, that is, most tagged as ‘Not Rated’. Unlike most other tags, a work has to be rated and can only have one rating tag - it’ll default to this one if there are no others.
Fandom | Total Fics | Not Rated |
宝石の国 Houseki no Kuni Land of the Lustrous (Anime & Manga) | 691 | 14.62% |
地縛少年花子くん Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Toilet-bound Hanako-kun (Manga) | 1332 | 13.14% |

Land of the Lustrous makes some amount of sense. How do you categorize rock-on-rock or rock-on-mysterious lunar entity violence or romance? I can’t find a pattern with the rest of the list. It clearly doesn’t have anything to do with the big-brainedness of the fandom, otherwise we’d see more yuri fandoms with flawless rating skills.
Let’s look at some content warnings to finish this off.
This next table may have the possibility of leaning into spoiler territory, being a Major Character Death tag, but I’ll let you decide if stats on proportions of fanworks with this tag constitute spoilers.

And there’s Psycho-Pass. I was expecting you earlier. What a weird fandom, mostly due to quirks of what people write about and nothing to do with any errors on my part.
Oh look, I’ve reached the maximum wordcount for this essay contest thing! And before I was going to talk about the more controversial content warnings! Darn, I guess I'll have to avoid a bunch of arguments. Oh well, before I go, let me say that I hope this analysis was entertaining and maybe gave you an anime to look into.
I know fanfic has a bit of a bad reputation, but I think it’s really cool that it exists, that people like an anime or manga so much that they write their own stories within that universe. And that they are willing to share their hard work online for free. Pretty cool stuff.

- Shingeki no Kyojin Episode 53, also the thread that got the Best Comment award.
- One Piece Episode 9001 which was... posted ahead of its time.
Funniest /anime moment
- After a certain AutoLovepon maintainer failed to make their code foolproof, the bot decided to post a discussion thread for episode 9001 of One Piece. The /anime users decided to take it seriously and discuss the events of this 692nd cour of the show.
In case anyone is wondering, the bug has been patched. - "Holo fans were so afraid of losing to a meme waifu that they were blindsided from the possibility of losing to an actual character." There is no way do this moment justice without quoting the original comment by ShadSilvs2000. After all, salt is a staple of the Best Girl contest. Better luck next year, Holo voters !
- Sometimes, certain staple scenes comes back regularly as a way to show some specific ambiance in anime. And sometimes, people like Jason3b93 take it seriously and decide to write a post describing the Top 10 Static Shots of Power Lines With Cicada Noises.
And with this, we conclude the Best Of /anime 2019
We thank everyone who participated in the nominations and voting for this contest. Awards will be sent to the winners in the upcoming days.
We will be counting on you to make even more quality content for /anime in 2020 !

Am I still normal?
Before everything, i'd like to say that this is not my first anime. I have watched some other anime like SAO and its series, nisekoi, shigatsu wa kimi no uso, seishun buta yarou, yakusoku no neverland, and some others. (Sorry for the japanese romaji name, that's how most of my friends talk about animes)
I watched some clips of kaguya sama in november on youtube, but then i stopped because
this scene. Then it reappear on my youtube recently, the last part of eps 2 "kabedown" scene and the rest of it (specifically
this video). That is why i decided to watch the whole anime
I started watching at night, 14 on this month and finished the next day (don't worry I didn't forget to sleep). It has been 1 week and i think i liked this anime too much? For the first time in my life i joined an anime community, listening to japanese music (sentimental crisis keeps playing in my head), saving the anime arts (well it is mostly kaguya), and even started recommending this anime to my friends. Is it normal to be like that? I have never done any of that before kaguya sama, once i even told my friends that i would never become a weeb, now i'm half weeb ._.
Now i'm questioning myself because of this anime, thanks aka.
n.b. u might want this: お可愛いこと

Relatively new to anime, need some guidance on where to go next
I've got so many animes on my watchlist, and I've got no idea what direction to head in next. I'd consider myself an anime beginner, but some ideas about my current tastes (I'm just gonna vomit out a bunch of thoughts - my feelings about various popular animes I've watched so you can get an idea for what I'm looking for): Steins;gate is my all time fav, followed closely by Hunter x hunter. Not much of an action person, however I definitely appreciate a well animated fight scene. Just about wrapping up FMAB - it's amazing but I don't think I quite like it as much as the previously mentioned two. I seem to enjoy a bit of emotion and drama mixed in with a primarily dark storyline (I loved the relationship dynamics in steins;gate), however I'd probably be down to watch a more lighthearted anime to break up some of the more serious ones. Recently finished paranoia agent, and I really like some of the parts of that, but at times I felt too lost (even if questions were answered further down the track). I liked the funny parts of OPM but not so much the action - again I don't think a show solely based around cool fight scenes would be my cup of tea. I enjoy when there's some real smart shit going on, I watched NGNL and loved the bits where the protagonists were coming up with crazy plays for all these types of situations and outsmarting everyone. Same with Yakusoku no Neverland which I finished also recently, I enjoyed when there were smart reveals about like crazily intelligent people outwitting other crazily intelligent people - kind of like the Light vs L dynamic in death note. Alternatively to a dark/psychological/smart anime, I wouldn't mind a few suggestions for ones that hella get you in the feels, based on relationship building and like sad touching moments, where you really build bonds with the characters and stuff like that.
Some animes that are already quite high on my watchlist which I think might be down my alley (Feel free to +1 some of these in addition to any new suggestions you could make):
- Madoka Magica
- Serial Experiments Lain
- Made in Abyss
- Monogatari series
- Your lie in April - being a pianist, this one seems more appealing than it otherwise would.
- Monster
- Parasyte: the maxim
I know this is a lot to take in, thanks for anyone who finds the time to lend a hand!!

I really liked Assassination Classroom/Yakusoku no neverland/Made in abyss...
I've just finished Yakusoku no neverland and I can't stop thinking about it. In all of them, I really liked to see how the characters worked together to achieve something even if new obstacles appeared. The plot twists really got me as well. I'm hoping to find a Science fiction/ThrilleAction anime with lovable characters and good story.
Please don't recommend: Attack on Titan, death note and HxH (I've watched them already).
Also sorry if there's something misspelled, english is not my first language.

WHEN WILL THE END OF BOKUBEN BE ANNOUNCED?
many wonder if this is the end (although everything indicates that it is exactly the end of the series) and others say that it is a strategy of the author to hook more people to his work
I've taken the time to analyze how the WSJ (weekly shonen jump) unveils the end of a series, group them into 3 categories
PD: From here I will take into account news published on a unofficial page called JUMP WORLD
CANCELED SERIES:
Annually the WSJ publishes around 10 new series, many fail to last more than 13-25 chapters before being canceled others of long duration also come to the risk of being canceled if some conditions are met (low sales and bottom 5)
BLEACH: A color page on Shonen Jump # 31 announces that Tite Kubo's Bleach manga is nearing its end. For more emotion, the author has decided to mark the countdown in black. The final arch began with a color cover on February 27, 2012. It is rumored that they can be left over 20 chapters and end in chapter 700, as Naruto already did at the time, so it could end in November.
Bleach ended 2 months later, everyone knows it was canceled due to low sales and popularity.
ROBOT X LASERBEAM: Robot x Laserbeam, series started in the new batch with BOKUBEN but was canceled due to low sales and popularity
There are several canceled series but this others mention them since they have the same result, they end in a time no longer than 1 week after the announcement of their end.
SERIES COMPLETED (without any special reason) :
NARUTO: Naruto finished in edition # 50 WSJ 2014, after its final was rumored almost 2 months ago
NISEKOI: The end of the series was announced 2 weeks before (05/16/2016)
GINTAMA: GINTAMA was a special case since since 2015 the final arch had been announced, since it ended in 2019
SERIES WITH FINAL ANNOUNCED (FINAL ARCH OR CLIMAX) :
HAIKYUU!!: (2019) The # 48 edition of the Weekly Shounen Jump has announced that the Haikyuu! manga of the Haruichi Furudate mangaka will enter its final arc from the next edition of the magazine.
YAKUSOKU NO NEVERLAND: (2019) In issue # 44 of Weekly Shounen Jump magazine it has been announced that the Yakusoku no Neverland manga will have an important announcement in the next issue of the magazine. Along with this it was revealed that the manga will enter the climax of its final arc from the next edition of the magazine.
ADDITIONAL DATA
In JUMP FESTA '20 an event was announced on 03/01/2020 called We Never Learn: BOKUBEN date on which chapter 149 is officially released
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, until now there has been no official announcement (twitter of 22i or WSJ) to say that the manga is in its final arc, but this does not ensure that the manga continues as it happened with NISEKOI the end of the series was announced 2 weeks before that I finished
Without fear of being 95% wrong, the final will be officially announced on 03/01
TEAM FUMINO FOREVER, GOOD THERE IS ALSO A 5% POSSIBILITY THAT I WILL WRONG (I WANT IT WITH ALL MY SOUL), BUT IF THIS IS THE END, JUST ACCEPT THE AUTHOR'S DECISION
PD: USE THE GOOGLE TRANSLATOR, I DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH, I ASK YOU FOR APPEALS :'C

MAME 0.212
It’s the moment you’ve surely been waiting for: the release of MAME 0.212! A huge amount of work has gone into this release in a number of different areas. Starting with the software lists, you’ll find hundreds more clean cracks for Apple II, the Rainbow on Disk collection for Tandy Color Computer, all the latest Game Boy Advance dumps, and thousands more ZX Spectrum cassette images. Chess computers now support chess piece simulation using the built-in artwork, support has been added for several more chess computers from Hegener & Glaser, Novag and Saitek, and the Tasc ChessSystem R30 is now working. Three Game & Watch titles, Bomb Sweeper, Gold Cliff and Safe Buster, have been added for this release.
Protection microcontrollers continue to fall, with Rainbow Islands – Extra Version, Choplifter, Wyvern F-0, 1943: The Battle of Midway and Bionic Commando no longer needing simulation, hacks or patches. In some cases, the dumps have confirmed that the protection had been reverse-engineered correctly and the simulation was correct, but it's still important to preserve these programs. It’s also important for people repairing these systems if the original microcontrollers have failed.
There are three important sound-related fixes in this release: FM Towns CD audio playback positions have been fixed, Konami System 573 digital audio synchronisation has been improved, and a special low latency mode has been added for the PortAudio sound module.
For more advanced users and developers, more functionality has been exposed to Lua scripts and plugins. The layout file format has been overhauled to better support systems that make creative use of LEDs and LCDs. Disassembler support has been added for the Fujitsu F2MC-16 and National Semiconductor CompactRISC CR16B architectures. And if you've been following along, you might notice that we’ve waved goodbye to a little more of our C legacy with the removal of the MACHINE_CONFIG_START macro and its associated crud.
We don't have space to list all the Apple II and ZX Spectrum software list additions here, but they’re in the
whatsnew.txt file. You get the source and Windows binary packages from
the download page.

Should You Watch It? Winter 2019 Edition
Fall 2018 Edition’s Thread Banjo’s Perspective
Consider It
The supernatural and the normal collide in Boogiepop wa Warawanai, an anime about an ephemeral spirit who watches over the populace, a “witch” who does the same from the shadows, and the realistic (and not-so-realistic) chaos which ensues nearby.
Based on its first arc alone, the plot demands maximum attention, what with its non-chronological series of events and the bevy of characters it touts. This setup helps and hinders. Helps because it creates an interesting mystery to watch unfold; hinders because it can cause unnecessary confusion. The fact that the second episode released simultaneously with the first episode to explain its (purposefully disjointed) start should be argument enough.
This unfortunate duality seems to be a common thread in all that the project tackles. The off-kilter cuts in the music up suspense, but they come off too jarring. The setting makes sense, but the artistic direction leaves much to be desired. The story and the characters have a meaningful claim to stake, but they both lack substance.
To its credit, the underlying theme on the nature of humanity does not lose its focus, and those two main players have individual statuses and a clear connection worthy of larger exploration. For now, though, these traits and others are best viewed with an eye of caution.
Another Perspective, courtesy of gosheno:
Watch It
“As much as I wish to explain the synopsis, I can’t—and shouldn’t. Boogiepop starts off, and continues to be a confusing story. But it’s because of this confusion that I find myself captivated by the duties of a possessed girl (voiced by a smug Aoi Yuki) in a purple pipe hat.
So be warned: this show is not for everyone, and many may be distracted by its non-linear storytelling. But, its interchanging character perspectives continually change your own understanding of each previous episode and the overarching storyline. Every week, I found myself surprised and gripped by the clever effects of this disjointed narrative as the show builds on its themes. Directing and storyboarding can seem absurd initially, but when you piece everything together, you’ll want to rewatch to pick up on the details you overlooked the first time.
For a Madhouse production, though, its character designs are lacking because its art style is nondistinctive from any other light novel adaptation. Characterization becomes so shrouded in the show’s mystery genre that sometimes, the cast comes off as undeveloped and neglected by the creators. However, if you’re contemplating or even more confused about this show, I suggest binge-watching the first 3 episodes.”
Banjo’s Perspective
Watch It
Ahh, romance. A fickle creature not quite that easy to have thanks to its numerous obstacles. Crushes on those seemingly out-of-reach. Empty feelings behind actions. In Domestic na Kanojo, Natsuo finds himself in this exact situation with his female teacher named Hina and a girl named Rui. And after an impromptu remarriage, these sisters become his (step-) sisters, brewing up a volatile triangle ripe for craziness.
Setting aside the pseudo-incest angle as an excuse to get the story rolling rather than the driving force behind it already gets at what the anime prioritizes most: Drama with a capital “D”. It stems from Natsuo, Hina, and Rui with their respective troubles and thoughts on love and lust, giving rise to the ever-changing relationships between them.
And it works. This shlocky, grounded soap opera takes its ridiculous setup in stride with other notable elements. The two heroines have received clear character arcs to follow. Solid production values, such as the nice character designs and the passionate opening track, keep everything in good spirits. A couple of supporting characters add realism and helpfulness. And it isn’t afraid to get a tad more risqué than the norm for this medium.
If nothing else, the juiciness of the unfolding events makes domesticating this anime not just a possibility but a fun experience outright.
Another Perspective, courtesy of bagglewaggle:
Drop It
“Domestic Girlfriend is yet another entry into the endless pantheon of 'not-incest' anime where the romantic interests end up under the same roof.
And it's bad.
Dear god, it's so bad.
Natsuo's love troubles went from bad to worse: he had a crush on his teacher (Hina), and then a strange girl (Rui) took him to her house and had sex with him. And now he's come to learn to that the two of them are sisters, and their mother is marrying his father.
Does that sound wacky? Because it isn't. This show is largely a drama centered around Natsuo, Rui (who is a human version of the 'emotionless sex' tag), and Hina, the obligatory big titty onee-chan. At least in Kiss X Sis, there was an appreciation for the silliness of the premise.
Here, the comedy and ecchi is shoved off to the side, only to pop up in bizarre places. From tense nude bathroom conversations, to a make-out session mid-adultery confrontation, to borderline surreal play-acting in class, nothing flows and nothing fits.
It's really hard to overstate how incompetent Domestic Girlfriend is, and lest you think there might be some redeeming value, the music is rarely fitting and there's some off-model/under-animated parts.
This is the first show I've seen from Winter 2019, and it's already a contender for worst show of the season.”
Banjo’s Perspective
Must Watch It
One rule must always be remembered when dealing with demons: Everything has a price. For Hyakkimaru of Dororo, the price for his unfortunate exchange arrived steep and not of his own accord. But that doesn’t stop him from surviving without the barest of bodily essentials and teaming up with a kindhearted kid who looks out for him as much as possible.
Slated as a multi-cour show, the story has a lot left to get to, yet its beginning already packs potential. Hyakkimaru’s inevitable development from a visceral doll to a fulfilled human gives him a very strong character arc to follow, and the supporting cast members have their parallels and connections for even further clout. The samurai motif and the religious subtexts likewise paint the narrative in a mature light, granting it the chance for thematic ideas on purpose and fate and tenacity of the soul.
Other elements perform well as well. Darker, somber colors and a historical setting create a fitting mood throughout the events. Intriguing music exists from start to finish. And the action sequences, while somewhat brief, act as a good interlude in-between the general seriousness of the plot. With everything ready, this project may just steal the spotlight for those who permit it the chance it certainly deserves.
Watch It
“If I had to describe this series in one sentence it's Berserk meets Rurouni Kenshin. The original series aired in 1969 and the first thing you'll notice is that it's darker than most modern anime. Hyakkimaru was born without eyes, ears, skin, or even a nervous system, because his father, a lord of Feudal Japan, traded them to 12 demons. Now he travels Japan killing the demons, and recovering his organs, with a child he meets named Dororo.
The show uses color sparingly to show that the world is bleak. As sad as Hyakkimaru's story is, it might not even be the saddest. If you're not ok with blood and death then this show probably isn't for you.
Each episode feels like its own arc with new characters and a satisfying resolution. It's amazing how much they manage to cram into 20 minutes, that said my main gripe with the show is that the episodes are too short for the amount of information they're trying to show.
The main characters are great. Dororo's cute playful nature is a great contrast to Hyakkimaru's inhuman lack of emotion or speech. I really want to see Hyakkimaru evolve from a killing machine with swords for arms to a normal human.
The animation quality is solid; fights are short and involve little monologuing.
Worth a watch if you have time.”

“Subaru, 23 year old social-phobic author whose parents are recently deceased, is followed home one day by street-smart stray-cat, Haru. What ensues are simple little stories where the inability to understand each other drives some tender development. My Roommate is a Cat is a story of a 20-something that needs to learn some life lessons and learns them in such wholesome ways.
With episodes about Subaru trying to remember to feed not just himself but his new roommate, as well as figure out what the hell is bugging Haru, he learns a lot. But it goes further - episodes are divided to give Haru’s perspective. This feeds into the show's fun sense of humour, but also does something very important to show how the issue looks from another side and punctuate the inherent difficulty in understanding one another (cat or otherwise). While different perspectives aren't the most novel solution to this theme, it’s extremely elegant in practice due to one perspective being, well, a cat, but also the way in which Subaru's understanding of his own problems changes throughout the show.
Anybody looking for something quiet yet powerfully resonant will gain a lot from the huge gamut of emotions this show runs. It'll have you laughing, crying, and always, smiling.”
Another Perspective, courtesy of PPGN_DM_Exia:
Watch It
“My Roommate is a Cat captures a lot of the same vibes as shows like Barakamon, She and Her Cat and Poco's Udon World. While the show's premise delivers on the promise of cute cat moments, it also mixes in some serious themes as it relates to its protagonist, Subaru, who struggles with severe social anxiety and loneliness.
In many ways, the show is a love-letter to pet owners and the pets that bring them comfort.The show's main strength is that it does a good job of conveying the support that Subaru's cat provides him, even if they can't directly communicate with each other. Somewhat uniquely, each episode also contains a retelling of events earlier in the episode, but from the cat's perspective. This leads to some funny misunderstandings but also shows that their friendship is genuine and mutual.
The show appears to be headed to a place where Subaru's world grows as he begins to open up and meet new people, but so far it is content to rely on the interactions between Subaru and his cat as its strength. Overall, if you just want fluff with a dose of feels on the side, this one's a good bet.”
A Perspective, courtesy of MapoTofuMan:
Must Watch It
“The Price of Smiles is the tale of a girl named Yuki, born on a planet far, far away. A girl who happens to be the princess of one of the two kingdoms on that planet, and, despite losing her parents early in her life, is surrounded by love from all sides - her childhood friend is always there to make her smile, and her advisors have always been there to bear the brunt of the responsibility that comes with running a kingdom. They've been successful in their efforts - Yuki grew up (well, not really, she's 12) to be such a fine genki girl that you'd think her favorite pastime was drinking tea with cake after school.
If everything up until now sounds great to you, you might also want to check out Endro~!, because the ominous title of this show seems to be strongly against it turning into the seasonal CGDCT.
The strongest point of this show is that once it gets going - it doesn't pull any punches, and so far each episode has kept me on the edge of my seat better than the previous one. The Price of Smiles does indeed stay true to its title - smiles have a price, and although I can't tell you what it is since they won't accept my writeup with spoilers in it, I highly recommend that you give this show a try and find out.”
Another Perspective, courtesy of Kingofthered:
Watch It
“Egao no Daikia - The Price of Smiles - is trying something interesting. We're introduced to a young and innocent princess of an advanced society in Yuuki, with many advisors and friends to help her happily lead. But as conflict grows between two kingdoms over an advanced power source, we learn this is not the cute slice of life I was thinking it was. Rather, this is becoming a series about war and what it means. A few episodes in we are introduced to Stella, the secondary protaganist on the other end of the war. Where Yuuki grew up happy and sheltered, it is made clear Stella has not had that luxury.
The series thus far has had nice, if not entirely unpredictable, turns on expectations. It's not totally clear where it's going and with a focus on both sides of a conflict, some cute moments but a heavy amount of "fantasy reality" it has gone from a barely-on-my-watch-list to one of my most looked forward to series this season. If an anime original featuring a mixed bag of action, mechs, slice of life and likely coming-of-age and politics sounds even a bit intriguing, I'm confident that the first 3 episodes of this won't disappoint.”
Must Watch It
“Endro is the cute show of the season, likely the whole year, and one I look forward to each week. If ever it were possible to get diabetes from a TV show, this would be the one to do it. The voice acting is top quality. Seems that's what happens when we combine the main actors from Comic Girls, Gochiusa, Nozaki-kun, and Monster Girls, then tell them to make an adventure show as cute and enjoyable as humanly possible. The character dynamics give off some Konosuba vibes, but instead of comedy they ooze cuteness, with relatively little fanservice. Animation is solid too, like if KyoAni created a magical girl show with cute original character designs.
The story follows a party of 4 female adventurers in a fantasy RPG world, each with their own distinct melodramatic quirks but adorable in their own ways. Things don't quite go according to plan for the heros (or teacher), but they always stumble right into success just by being cute, and it feels natural. If you dislike cute things, this might be the thing to change your mind. If you do, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot by skipping this.”
Another Perspective, courtesy of zenoob:
Consider It
“After an intense fight, the Hero's party finally slay the Demon Lord and bring peace upon the world!
Or so it should have been. Except we can always count on Namori to be tied to projects filled with silliness, fun and cuteness, and this one is no exception. Unlike last season's more serious and action-oriented Release the Spyce however, Endro takes a much more lighthearted and satirical approach to its RPG setting, freely throwing jabs at its genre, pointing out tropes and toying with them.
The Hero and his friends are actually all cute moe girls, all with familiar personality traits. Mather, the mage is a massive nerd with a deadpan humour (very reminiscent of Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou's Chii-chan especially thanks to Minase Inori lending her voice to both characters), Yuusha the Hero is the pink haired airhead, Fai the warrior is the genki (cat-like)girl who eats far too much, Seiran the Elf is the straightman of the groupe with a weird obsession for horned gorillas. And obvously, our good old Demon Lord is a loli... It wouldn't be complete without this!
There is nothing groundbreaking in this, but if you want to have fun watching anime and your weekly fix of Cute Girls Doing Cute Things on top of some RPG satire/parody, Endro is definitely your best pick this season.”
Banjo’s Perspective
Consider It
Where Lou Bega of “Mambo No. 5” fame had Monica, Erica, and the like by his side, Uesugi of Gotoubun no Hanayome instead has Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba, and Itsuki. The former is a studious dude without any money, and the latter are quintuplets whose failing grades contrast with their immense wealth. He needs them, and they need him. Thus, a new rom-com harem begins.
At its core, the show is rather simple: Uesugi supports one of the five girls (per episode) and kindles his relationship with this next stubborn girl. Which leads to the positives. Voice-acting performances are swell. Cute moments pop up now and again. And the characters and vibe of the anime are likable and wholesome due to him encouraging and listening to the women and how they in turn individually respond to his presence.
Many negatives within this show counteract such positivity. The artistic quality dips too low too often to ignore. The comedy lands in a poor spot as well when its timings and its jokes often fail to hit the mark. And while an end is obviously obtained, the actual romance doesn’t appear to be going anywhere soon.
Altogether, only a little bit of “quintessential” is all one needs.
Another Perspective, courtesy of walking_the_way:

“I initially passed over Gotoubun no Hanayome due to its harem tag. Rom-coms are extremely subjective, and this season already had Kaguya-sama. Then I was asked to review it. With some trepidation, I started the anime, and was immediately greeted with an opening marriage scene.. what?!
As it turns out, both the anime and manga start off with a flash-forward, planting the seed that Uesugi, the protagonist, will eventually marry one of the titular quintuplets. Which one exactly, is unknown. Back in the present, he meets the five capricious identical sisters that all require his tutoring. But they're simply not interested, and hilarity ensues as he struggles to figure them out while they circle him, eyeing him warily.
I warmed up toward the show because Uesugi isn't a stereotypically incompetent harem MC, and the sisters share a fun chemistry. While there hasn't yet been much romance, Gotoubon no Hanayome's unique premise opens the door to potential situations that can set it apart from other rom-coms, and I hope it continues to explore this avenue well.
Several side plots have already reared their heads, and it's obvious that the show cannot possibly resolve the marriage mystery within this season. Yet, the first episodes have at least convinced me of its potential, so I'm curious where the story will go from here!”

“All is fair in love and war,” but what if love was war? That’s the question Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen posits to the audience in hilarious fashion as Kaguya Shinomiya and Miyuki Shirogane commence a battle of wits.
Their skirmish tests their mettle and their hearts as they attempt to usurp each other in snippets. Nothing is off the table: trickery, mind games, deflection, suggestion, planning. In a way, the ends justify the means here, creating comedy filled with funny payoffs by visual gags, reactions, meta humor, catchphrases, darker jokes, cuteness, and extended ideas.
It only gets better from there. A mostly centralized setting allows the artistic direction to go all out with imagination and style galore. The audio elements, from the great voice acting to the amazing ending track featuring the adorkable Chika, improve the presentation again. And it can even showcase a more worthwhile side of itself when it reels in the comedy in favor of sincerity.
The only foreseeable issue is the looming sense of repetition that could settle in if the anime rests for even a second. That doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon, though, so it’s pretty safe to confess that this war is downright lovable.

“Kaguya-Sama is a rare case where it's faithful to its source, but the problem is that it does not adapt well into an anime. The manga is over the top, has a hilarious WWE announcer, and for its psychological games has a lot of romantic cuteness to it, and I enjoy it immensely. The anime is much the same, sounds great, right? Instead, it ends up showing its shortcomings. It's more apparent that they barely have a change of scenery, at full episode length it's tiring to listen to the narrator and over the top style over and over again, and there's a certain desire with all these stories sort of connection to show some progression. The problem stems from is how it tells the manga story. It's not an uncommon episode format way to do multiple short stories within an episode, like with Asobi Asobase, Mitsuboshi Colors, or Nichijou. What I find it lacks compared to those is its variety. Save for the last story of episode 3, there's little variety, it's all over the top psychological mental fights, and little time to warm up to the characters.”

“Kemurikusa tells the story of a group of sisters and their quest to find water on one of the various islands present in their world along with the threat of bugs that pose a danger whenever they’re around. However, they are aided by a leaf known as Kemurikusa that provides them powers and other abilities. Oh great, another generic plot with nothing much to showcase. However Kemurikusa throws in a curveball: the emergence of a new character, Wakaba, who threatens the mere existence of these gi— oh wait, is he even a bug?
With Wakaba, the girls soon wonder where he came from, what his intent is, and more importantly, whether he is a human or a bug: is a human what the girls are, or is it was Wakaba is? Soon, Kemurikusa becomes a journey to find water while at the same time exploring the past of all the characters — especially Wakaba.
Three episodes in and Kemurikusa has done a damned good job at world building, detailing the struggles the girls have had just trying to get more water, describing the purpose of the bugs, and how their world came to be. Honestly, it feels akin to Girls Last Tour, and while it is CGI, it isn’t bad at all and exemplifies the eeriness of the world with a soundtrack that further cements the idea of the desolation at hand.
Watch Kemurikusa. While definitely not AOTS, it is already shaping up to be this season's underrated show.”

“Kemurikusa follows a family of girls with who fight weird ‘bugs’ and survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Kemurikusa is being produced by Kemono Friends' former anime director and studio. With that however comes a level of CG that will turn many away from this show.
The strongest point of this series is the interesting world and characters. Both are tied well into each other. Similar to the likes of Girls Last Tour, the show makes good use of its post-apocalyptic setting, taking its time to reveal atmosphere and mystery elements. The OST is good and this benefits the setting and atmosphere. The pacing of the show is slow, but progression is consistent.
The male lead has been more of an audience insert and plot device than his own character so far. The other characters feel unique and have an interesting mesh of abilities that tie well to into the mostly unknown world.
This series is carefully going to dish out information in a show don’t tell manner. If you enjoy slower shows that focus on world building and characters, can stand CG and are not satiated by everything else this season has to offer, consider giving Kemurikusa a try.”

Cars dominate the land, and boats rule the sea, but, in the air, planes reign as king. Or perhaps more relevantly for Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai, they reign as queens. Kirie, Reona, Zara, Kate, Chika, and Emma are the ace pilots of the sky, defending towns and stopping pirates as a tightknit group.
Saying that this anime “contains planes” belies how much it embraces them. A large chunk of the story to date has focused on the high-flying skirmishes that the crew and the evildoers take part in. The aerial dynamics. The multiple perspectives. The detailed sound-effects. All of which combine to make these segments impressive and exciting to watch. Not to mention that a post-apocalyptic setting of sorts adds another layer to the narrative, the script has a not-so-serious angle that boosts its appeal, and the heavy CG use has its own charm.
Yet two problems persist. First, a tad-too-fast pacing affects the flow of events. And second, both the story and the characters lack a lot of weight in a writing sense, so its current course remains a mystery. Even so, these skilled ladies may just obtain magnificence over the horizon.

“From the brilliant minds behind Shirobako comes a story about the adventures of six fighter pilot girls in a barren wasteland.
The premise is rather simple, there's a client, there's a job and under their gorgeous superior's orders, the Kotobuki Flight Corps are on it and in the skies fighting to get the job done.
The show's main appeal is its characters. Each scene (especially ones with our main cast) is made upbeat with enjoyable back and forth and witty banter. The girls have distinctive personalities that make for good interactions, be it Kylie and Chika arguing about who is more impulsive and careless, Kate on the side spouting trivia, Zara's ability to handle her liquor and Reona's shtick about working out. The interactions are so fun you could go an entire episode without a single dogfight.
That isn't to say the dogfights aren't interesting, because they are. The aerial battles are reminiscent to Girls und Panzer. There's the standard militaristic OST in every aerial battle scene, but it's made light and whimsical enough to remind you that this show isn't quite about war, it's about six young fighter pilot girls and how they outmaneuver their opposition and learn to work together as a team. If you’re looking for a fun show with a good cast, then give Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai a try, it’s as good as pancakes!”

As some in the community may know, being a magical girl isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, what with the occasional tale targeting dark forces and even darker results. This twisted approach contrasts with the happy optimism the subgenre normally touts in the moment. But what about after all is said and done instead?
In comes Mahou Shoujo Tokushusen Asuka, a project that follows a young woman named Asuka who desperately desires to leave her magical-girl past behind her. By going with this approach, an exploration on fear, PTSD, and other psychological trauma manifests as Asuka refuses to go back to her old life and as new events grip the supporting cast members too. The extreme violence and the “cutesy” enemies exacerbate these sorrowful thoughts and fall in line with the mood of the narrative.
An intriguing concept for sure, but the rest of the anime has a tough time keeping up. The artistry is low in quality, the music perhaps relies on a singular piano tune overly so, the infrequent comedy bits come off as out-of-place, and the meat of the plot has yet to solidify into a concrete shape.
Still, the underlying motif and relevant themes have enough to operate within a special niche.

“My introduction into the magical girl genre is one of the more well known entries in it; Madoka Magica. A show famous for its shocking twist and ultimately becoming a deconstruction on the genre. Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka is not afraid to put its true intentions on its sleeve of being a very dark deconstruction.
By the end of episode 3 themes of PTSD, murder and torture are on full display. This show is unflinching in its desire to stare down reality of a world with magical girls in it. A world where they are not a secret but heroes. Relationships are in full swing with a predictable cast setting the stage for strong archetype breakdowns and subversion. The world building is coming along at a brisk but controlled pace, letting us speculate and be surprised.
I definitely recommend this show. The show is promising us with another look into a world of magical girls with a dark realistic spin. I don’t think it could ever top Madoka Magica but could very well become a classic magical girl deconstruction, in its own darkness light.”

Most people are no strangers to high fantasy. Magic, dragons, princesses. Well, take these three traits, mesh them together, place them in a medieval university, and frame it as a slice-of-life anime. The outcome will be darn close to Manaria Friends.
The existence of this show has been known about for a while, but the wait is over, and the outcome may or may not coincide with expectations. Fifteen-minute episodes put this story as neither short nor standard in length but rather somewhere in-between. It features two ladies – Anne the prodigy wizard and Grea the shy dragon girl – as they share an unlikely friendship amidst unlikely scenarios.
That’s the crux of the show; not a whole lot more can be said about it. Whatever drama or action it instills cannot be deemed engaging, and deeper writing will probably be avoided throughout its run. Nevertheless, the varied background art and the yuri undertones are at least appreciated in their consistency.
It’s simply an average, solid project from the get-go that one can also be friends with if he or she so wishes.

“Manaria Friends is a long time coming. Initially announced in 2015 for release in 2016, it was a series many thought was scrapped. The extra time since announcement shows with vibrant and detailed backgrounds along with animation work reminiscent to that of Kyoto Animation.
Manaria Friends, at its core, takes a fantasy world and uses it as a backdrop for a slice of life that details the interactions between two princesses, Anne and Grea, and their races, human and dragonborn, respectively. With such a unique setting, it is a character unto itself, as you have all of these races with their own cultures and tastes coupled with magic. Putting this all together leads to a very different sort of show, unlike many in recent memory.
While the series is based in the world of Shingeki no Bahamut, there is no need to be familiar with them to be able to enjoy this. Since the episodes are half-length, it is a definite "Watch It" should the premise interest you.”

Underdog stories are the cornerstone of audience-cheering events, and Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari argues for this near-truth once again. Starring Naofumi Iwatani as the titular Shield Hero, he finds himself whisked away to a world where he and three other weapon-centric men must save its people from imminent doom. Unfortunately for Naofumi, doom rears its ugly head closer than believed, forcing unwanted infamy onto his journey from the very beginning.
Controversy aside, this project has its fair share of interesting facets. Bringing on Raphtalia as his sidekick, the sword to his shield, has made for a cool dichotomy in their personalities and their fighting habits. The small amount of world-building towards the society, the land, and the underlying video-game aspect has been no doubt beneficial. And, in general, it’s just a ton of fun to root for Naofumi’s success as he “sticks it to the man”.
The rest of the anime lags behind. Weak writing from low buildup, quick backstories, and lame reasoning plague some of its areas. The artistry and the music are not the most noteworthy as well. Plus, its fighting scenes rarely shine.
All that being said, with a theme on “actions speak louder than words” in full effect, this project has a shot at rising to the top sooner rather than later.
Another Perspective, courtesy of HyruleCool:
Must Watch It
“The Rising of the Shield Hero is one of shining instances of the isekai genre done right. Naofumi (the Shield Hero) is a great and doesn't follow suit with the clumsy or ignorant oaf trope that most tend to in this genre. He leads a great example that being a good hero isn't just about being physically strong, but having quick wits and the will to fight for others regardless of what they think of you.
The world isn't all that unique either outside of one small trait and the animation is nothing spectacular, but it is at least a fitting setting for its somewhat dark tone. Not to say the animation is bad though. The art direction can be pretty good at times (mainly the more action oriented scenes).
The Shield Hero’s journey so far is an engaging one with a interesting story, some great action scenes and characters that will most likely leave you wanting more.”
Another Perspective, courtesy of youkai94:
Consider It
“Shieldbro Naofumi is summoned in your average isekai world. This new world is not as good as you would expect though and Naofumi will find himself in a spiral of darkness that will test how strong his mind is and how long he can uphold his morals.
The good: from the same studio as Made in Abyss (Kinema Citrus) and the same composer (Kevin Penkin), you can expect quality music and art.
Naofumi is a great character, he changes quite a lot and plays the role of the Byronic hero (kinda) pretty well and kind of carries the show. Raphtalia is pretty good too.
Now the bad: Aside from the two MC, the other characters are mostly bland, some feel like nothing more than plot devices to trigger Naofumi.
The author does a good job at telling the story she wants and setting up a world to accomodate it, but kind of fails to give depth to it: She shows us a good event and then time-skips to the other one, which prevents us to see the charactrs grow with our eyes. Plus, we only get to know the bare minimum about the world for the story to make sense.
I would consider it since it brings a refreshing story compared to other isekai and pretty good MCs, also the art/music are great, but don’t set your expectations too high: the writing sometimes falls flat.”

In Yakusoku no Neverland, Emma, Norman, and Ray live with a bunch of other kids at an orphanage. They eat hearty meals, they have classes in the afternoon, and they play outside without much care. Mother looks after them all the while, making sure her flock never strays too far. A quaint life for everyone involved from what can be gleaned.
But an ominous atmosphere, a foreboding sense of dread that things aren’t quite right lingers in the air.
With its first episode, this project establishes its main trio, its thrill-filled direction, and its writing strength, letting the audience understand immediately what’s in store. This empowered state carries into the following episodes, too, as the art and the plot developments up the ante ever further.
Not that everything goes its way. The characters tend to speak their thoughts aloud despite the secrecy demanded of them, and the suspension of disbelief required for the “game” the kids must win borders on impossible. Being so nitpicky, however, does a disservice to the great voice acting, the distinct moments, and the fairness of the narrative displayed.
That is to say, this home-away-from-home tags in as a promising outing.

Drop It
“Anime and Horror doesn't have the best of relationships. As a big horror fan this saddens me, so when people said that this was going to be great I was extremely excited. This is exactly why it pains me to give this a bad review. The show takes a tried and tested concept and does exactly what you would expect it to do. If you have even seen a few horror movies, you will be able to quite quickly figure out what will happen, and there was nothing I didn’t see coming in the three first episodes. At the same time all the character designs make the characters look wierd. Their faces have been squished, and there is something with the geometry that feels awfully off. Even though this is the case, you can feel that there has been a lot of love put into this show. The production values are great, and there is still a lot of potential to make something great out of this. Unfortunately, as it stands with the current story I just can’t recommend anyone to pick this up knowing there are more fun subversive shows out there that doesn’t just stick to the same tried and tested formula”
