I am just here to shill for Delicious in Dungeon. It’s a dungeon based anime that isn’t an isekai! Shocking, I know. The characters are really charming, there’s good world building, and while the plot is a slow burn, it’s super compelling. Also the adaptation is being done by Studio Trigger. Why are you still reading this, go watch Delicious in Dungeon!
Seeing ProdZD as Senshi is so cool. I remember seeing his videos on Tumblr and saying to myself, "This dude is going places." And now here he is, in places, getting weird about eating monsters.
Steins Gate is pretty good but I hate how they wrote Ruka, I literally can't watch it because of that character and the plot literally revolving about invalidating their identity
How does the anime adaptation compared to the original game? Should I watch it or play it out?
EDIT: Just found out that the Angel Beats anime came firstbefore the game, so this question should be the other way around but… at this point this original question have become moot, so ignore it
I felt a little let down when I saw Angel Beats, to be honest. I really enjoyed the ending, and a few plot points here and there, but it felt like they had too much content for a 1-cour show and not enough for a 2-cour, so it ended up feeling a bit rushed, jerking between comedy and tragedy.
Though I think my issue was expecting it to live up to the heights set by Clannad, the eternal final boss of cry-porn. Clannad drained me in a way I didn't think was possible, and rewatches of key scenes STILL destroy me years later. I can't go near wheat fields anymore. 11/10, would have multiple breakdowns while contemplating the value of family, again.
A good gay anime-while-not-being-anime to watch, is Killing Eve.
By the writer of Fleabag (and ❤️♥️ Crashing 💟🥰)
Realistic Sherlock Holmes♀️ and absolute icon Eve Polastri, and world class psychopath assassin-for-hire Villanelle, are so in sync that they're flirting through murder scenes, never having seen each other.
It's an absolute joy, being a little bit surreal around the edges, and very anime-like in execution.
If you like fighting but Jojo's art style isn't your cup then I can recommend Record of Ragnarok and Kengan Ashura. Outside of fighting PLUTO was really good.
Started rewatching Michiko to Hatchin (check that spelling) is good. Also, Garden of Words is good too. I've just had my fill of isekai crap so i'm going back to the 2010s.
