Are there any animes or TV shows you can’t stop recommending?
TV: Letterkenny immediately followed by Shoresy. Shoresy is a spinoff, so you really should watch Letterkenny first, although you don’t necessarily have to
Seinfeld, probably no need to explain (Edit: how could I leave out Curb Your Enthusiasm here?)
Adult Cartoons: King of the Hill, Bob’s Burgers, Archer, Frisky Dingo. I could go on for a while about adult animation
Anime: Samurai Champloo, Baki the Grappler, Baki, Baki Hanma, Oshi No Ko, and Zombieland Saga. Plenty more, but I’ll stop here for now
Summary: I like TV way more than movies. My favorites being Comedy/Sitcoms and Dragon Ball/Z/Super
Edit: Does professional wrestling count? I fucking love me some WWE
Letterkenny and Shoresy are SO good. Jared Keeso is a brilliant comedian and has a knack for heartfelt story.
Also, wrestling counts. I’m an AEW girl but no tribalism from me. Who’s your wrestler to watch, or storyline you love?
Oh boy, get ready
Penta el Cero Miedo. Tony needs to shit or get off the pot. Let my Lucha Bros. go!
Dominik Mysterio and the Judgement Day/Terror Twin storyline
Wyatt Sick6 and pretty much anything they are doing. My guess as to who is next is either Kofi/Xavier or maybe Jey Uso
Nia Jax. I really liked Bayley, but she honestly became boring after winning the title
Iyo and Kairi (and Asuka, come back soon!)
Bron Breakker
I loved Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed’s feud
I really like NXT, but I can’t think of anything particular this second (edit: how could I forget the Young OG? He’s boooouuuncyyyyy. Also Cora is back! Now I’m just missing Nikkita Lyons. Sol Ruca deserves a belt)
The BCC storyline has made me enjoy Wheeler Yuta. I like Beast Mortos too
Komander and Dralistico (I’m a big Lucha fan)
Yuka! I like so much about wrestling I could go on all day, but I’ll stop here for now. Are you part of the squared circle community?
I am! I don’t post much though.
I love both Penta and Fenix, and would deeply love to see Fenix vs Je’Von Evans. Right now I’m psyched for Wrestledream, but I’m not a Mercedes Mone fan and I think that’s an unpopular opinion over in SC.
Also Emi Sakura is my Queen, full stop. She’s just a fantastic person and has such a great career!
Gurren Lagan
Fucken watch it
Also,
Log Horizon is what SAO wishes it was

What is so great about this? Just watched the first couple of eps. First impression is not good: It seems like the classical mindless shonen fighting anime alongside pretty childish humor and a distastefully sexualized main female character. Her outfit is literally a bikini and she’s sexualized in the very first scene and in basically every scene she’s in since that one, wtf?
I just didn’t have the patience for that honestly. I doubt it will make a difference.
OMG!!! I get to recommend Delicious in Dungeon!!! The show is a bit of a slow burn, but the early episodes set up the incredible world building and the basic plot points. Then as it starts churning it gets crazy. The story is strong enough on it’s own, but it’s animated by Studio Trigger so the anime is pure perfection.
I keep hearing it’s amazing but I bounced off hard on the first couple episodes. I wish anime didn’t need the 5 episodes rule, things should sell themselves from the start. Maybe I’ll give it another go. My wife is keen to watch it.
I powered through as I kept hearing everyone recommend this. It felt pointless because I didn’t get watching a cooking show about stuff you could never eat because it isn’t real.
The comments I read said it took a tonal shift when they finally got back to the red dragon. It’s about halfway through, which took me weeks to get to.
The second half is awesome! If this is what it was like all along, it would have been amazing. The first half gives you nothing to expect what the second half is, which makes it feel more intense, but I still feel is kinda terrible pacing.
I want more now because the characters really are good, which is probably why they used that first half the way they did, but it was tough before seeing where it was going. Frieren had a much better buildup before it really started getting serious for example.
Drag liked the first half better. Drag came for the cooking. Drag thinks the second half has too much drama. Drag likes the kitty, though.
I RECOMMEND EVERYBODY LOVES HYPNOTOAD. IT IS A GREAT SHOW.
ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD.
I feel like I’m missing the context… Where did this meme starALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD.
My Deer Friend is amazing.
Which reminds me that there’s probably a new episode out right now. 😃
I also would always recommend the staples in anime:
Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball, DBZ, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Rouroni Kenshin, Full Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, and Ninja Scroll.
Holy hell you killed it on the anime suggestions. May I suggest Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood over the original?
Also, have you watched Samurai Champloo? That and Baki (all of them) are the only others I can think of off the top of my head
Edit: Oshi No Ko
Personally, I liked the original more. I just think it did the darker elements of the story way better. Brotherhood had a totally different focus, but I do appreciate it having an actual conclusion unlike the original.
To put it another way: the original makes me cry at some parts; Brotherhood never did.
@Kolanaki @Shkshkshk I recommend a few of those and also Samurai Champloo
