#attack on titan episode 73

[pardon-my-scifi]

Alright. Calling all manga nerds. I need new mangas to read. Some of my favorites in no particular order are:

Naruto

Bleach

One Piece

Fairy Tail

Blue Exorcist

Freezing

D Grey Man

Obviously there's a bit of a theme here. What are some others I should read in between dragging myself through the long (fun) desert of anime that is One Piece?

[gamie99]

I've got a reaaally strong feeling that Titan Cameraman's whole schtick with shoving Skibidi weapons into his arm socket is going to end very very badly.

I mean, think about it:

In Episode 67, Titan Cam steals a buzzsaw arm from a toilet and uses it as his own. He later uses it in his fight against the Scientist Toilet, but ends up getting mind controlled into attempting to saw his own head off. Titan Speakerman was forced to remove it to prevent any further damage.

As we saw in Episode 72, G-Toilet somehow now has the power to control others via these weird floating yellow/purple energy balls (the purple sparks very likely coming from some kind of TV Man technology). He uses these energy balls to out-play the Detainer Astro Toilet, taking control over two of his arms and making the Astro attack himself with them. Who else was controlled by TV Man technology into attacking himself? Titan Cameraman.

As terrifying as it is, my current theory is that the Titans will face off against G-Toilet in either Episode 73 or 74 (my bet is on 74). During the fight, G-Toilet will pull the same trick on Titan Cameraman, and Titan Cam will either get severely injured or even die as a result. If he's quick enough, though, Titan Speakerman might pull off the same maneuver in order to save Titan Cam!

We really don't know what's going to happen next. Judging by Episode 72 alone, we're in for a wild ride. One thing's for sure, though...

We aren't ready.

[lensman-arms-race]

Episode 73 part 2

Just watched it, now to rewatch a couple of times with commentary. (Haven't had a chance to reverse TTv's lines.)

Why did TCam and TSpeaker wait to attack while TTv and G-Toilet were grumping at each other? Just deck the fucker! :D

Now we know yellow and green orb = explosion. Why didn't G-Toilet try the yellow and purple orb, though? TTv would be the most useful Titan to possess because he can command the other two.

I do like how TCam 'nuh-uh'd the yellow-and-purple orb! :D He's become genre-savvy.

Also lols at how un-gracefully TTv landed after doing a big sword attack. I guess rolling gracefully is hard when you're that size. (Also there's a cloud of black fog when he lands - did TTv summon some fog to disguise his ungainly fall? Because lmao)

G-Toilet appears to be fundamentally flush-proof, just like the first time the Alliance tried that. Maybe his cistern's empty.

Poor, poor Titan Speaker, getting parasitised again. I was surprised - I thought he'd be able to no-sell it this time, and we'd be misled into thinking the parasite had gottim but no, he crushed it or something. But he really does get re-parasitised! TTv says something, and it already sounds like 'Get this shit out' when not reversed, haha.

TCam speaks again! "You're mine." How is he doing that??

Rambo Toilet makes a re-appearance and narrowly avoids getting squished. Burrowing exploding toxic waste toilet is pretty cool - it's like a robot mole/crab. The blast radius even makes poor POV cam lose an arm!

We don't see TTv remove the parasite from TSpeaker - I wonder if DFB wrote it that way on purpose to give fans an opportunity to write/animate their own version of how that went down. (Maybe we'll get a look in the full version, which DFB said would have extra scenes.)

Fuck yes! TTv finally remembers he has some fuck-off back spikes!

Does G-Toilet say "You need me"?? I'll have to check once DFB makes the full episode and adds subs. Implying that G-Toilet is the only one who can stop the Astros, perhaps - or that G-Toilet knows some other secret that the Alliance wants to have.

"I will survive." Oh, now we know what the G stands for (Gloria Gaynor).

Wait, so what was in the shipping containers? Just a load of dripping piss rockets? That was all?

Oo, Titan TV is not a happy bunny.

Wait, why is it a thing that G-Toilet can fly over the horizon and stymie the Titans? They can all fly too; why don't they just follow him? :D

[wagrilous-23]

Hello everyone!

For those of you who liked my post from...last November my god-

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! (I may go back to that idea in the future, but for now I'll stick with this) But....that's not the reason why I decided to finally post again after nearly a year of silence...after watching TADC Episode 3 (y'all should go watch it yourselves, it's amazing!), I've been...inspired.

I've come here to share my next idea, one that on paper, is absurd as all hell and will probably get me some hate because one of the pieces of this idea has the media that the greater internet still hates.

So, here goes...

I've been hyperfixated on two characters lately. One of them being the purple whimsy rabbit we all know, Jax!

The mischievous and jerkass rabbit who has both his devoted fans and a lot of haters! The new episode and the last episode really brought out the jerk he had underneath the ambiguous personality in the pilot, but that's besides the point...I feel like this fella has a lot of potential, it's just being in the Circus restricts his potential and ability to receive proper character development hinders him and keeps him as this nihilistic jerk. This idea of mine intends to give this rascal some nuance, and perhaps the idea of redemption too...

Now onto the character who while I see as badass and cool in his own right, he's definitely controversial because of the media he originates from.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Titan TV Man!

He is a titanic robot who serves the Alliance, and he's been fighting and making Skibidi Toilets self-flush since his debut! (Yeah, I like Skibidi Toilet because its epic now, screw the haters)

Titan TV Man has quite the personality, initially being cold, stoic, and more than happy to do things/fight on his own, though that had backfired in more ways than one.

His abilities include:

* Teleportation, which includes black smoke and white lightning; he also can use it offensively via teleporting his arm and use his blade to cut up his enemies when they're unaware.

* THX Red Screen of Death: this attack has his screen(s) glow red and cause anything that sees it to uh...unalive themselves, generally against their will.

* Retractable Back Claws: Those claws around his back aren't just for show, they function like springloads, folding up and then down over Titan TV Man's back to impale whoever's unlucky enough to be in front of him up close.

* Detachable Head and Shoulder TVs: While he only used this ability once and never again, he is capable of detaching his head to move on its own, packed with lasers, and his shoulder TVs to move too, with both being able to set an enemy on fire and mind-control them respectively.

- He's a powerhouse, but he also has a softer side; he shows to care for his fellow humongous Titans (see the series in full to see what they are like) and the smaller, normal sized Cameramen (the main protagonist faction) in this video here

He is basically the epitome of both an unstoppable war machine with straight up Sci-fi abilities and and gentle giant when the situation calls for it.

So now you all may be asking...why the hell would I think this guy and Jax of all people would make for a good duo?

Besides the obvious similarly between their motif color of purple, they are complete opposites in personality. TTVM (abbreviation I will use from now on) is strategic, stoic, yet caring to those around him, while Jax is a nihilistic, narcissistic, and bullying jerk who wishes for violence, but will try to run away when his life is genuinely in danger; but there are two things they share personality-wise:

They are both overconfident and believe they can do what they've set out to do (at least unlike Jax, TTVM can back it up) and whenever things don't go their way, they whine or straight up throw a tantrum, albeit a justified one for the Titan's case.

But I digress, one reason I feel like these two could make a good duo is through the idea that, somehow, someway, Jax finally escapes the Circus, only to end up in some post-apocalyptic landscape, and then he sees a large cloud of black smoke with the occasional lightning visible within, and out of it emerges TTVM, but he's also confused because he's not in any familiar territory anymore...both are now in an unknown world.

Spoiler: It is a multiversal event that had dragged them both to this world, and in this world, monsters roamed, and if they were going to survive, they'd have to stick together.

Monster Designs (by Rockho9 on Reddit)

This is the beginning of something I hope will get enough traction, and I'll reveal the title right now!

Bunny with a Vision AU!

(I can't draw for crap, so anyone who's interested in mayhaps making a few drawings or two based on interaction posts I make, you're free to!)

[ertrunkenerwassergeist]

What's the crossover/fusion you would love to produce but will never write?

That would be a Attack on Titan/Final Fantasy XV crossover.

Beginnings of ideas have been circling in my head ever since I started my AoT binge. (I'm at episode 73 now. No spoilers please.)

No idea what would even happen. It's just the two pieces of media I am the most obsessed with right now.

[kawaiikittygamer]

Skibidi Toilets are predominantly designed as toilets of varying size and color, each with chanting heads protruding from their toilet bowls, which oftentimes serve as their method of attack. They often wield weapons and modifications, much like their adversaries, The Alliance.

They are responsible for numerous acts of aggression towards both their enemies and bystanders, as well as spreading the influence of the Parasitic Skibidi Toilet, which can be used to infect opponents and make them serve the Skibidi Toilets temporarily.

In recent episodes, the toilets seem to be once again be falling down in the war, as they have lost their most powerful unit, being the Chief Scientist Skibidi Toilet Mech. In Episode 71, it was shown that most of them (along with the G-Toilet, who seems to be their only leader since the Chief Scientist Skibidi Toilet is deceased) have decided to flee the war and go into hiding, with the Astro Detainer Toilet hunting them down, howerer, G-Toilet managed to best Detainer in combat in Episode 72, but took massive damage in Episode 73 from Titans.

Ranges from None to Extraordinary

Ranges from Insanely Low to Astounding

Ranges from Immobile to Instantaneous

Ranges from Microsize (0'12/0.3 Metres) to Gargantuan (230Ft/70 Meters)

The Skibidi Toilets [stylized as ΣΚΙΒΙΔΙ (Romanized: SKIBIDI; also referred to as "Shtibi Toilets") [1] are the titular main antagonists of the Skibidi Toilet series, created by DaFuq!?Boom! on YouTube and are the primary adversaries of The Alliance.

Each Skibidi Toilet's appearance can radically deviate from convention, yet the overwhelming majority (formerly, now the gray toilets are the majority.) of them tend to look like a typical white or gray ceramic flush toilet that seems to act like a shell to protect their interior, possibly located inside their tanks, and a human head extending from the bowl through a lengthy, flesh-colored neck. These heads are able to stretch out at least several feet, twisting and bending in any direction. Skibidi Toilet expressions often seem highly exaggerated, with enormous, manic eyes and often an unnaturally broad, ugly, elongated grin. The majority of Skibidi Toilet sport two handles: a traditional pull-down handle on the front portion of the tank and a pull-up handle on the topmost region. Both are similar in functions, with both flushing the connected head down its toilet's 'drain'. It is unknown where the toilet drains are in the skibidi verse.

Despite these similarities, variations of Skibidi Toilet differ in numerous ways, not including any adjustments to the clothing they donate and the weaponry they carry. Some may even possess a bathtub or urinal, have multiple heads mounted on their stretchy necks, be developed from distinct fixtures, boast alternative colors (like dark gray) and/or possess unique dimensions ranging from tiny to colossal (with some reaching the height of almost to the height of the Burj Khalifa). Their overwhelming presence on battlegrounds can be felt by all, accompanied by the sound of their Anthem, which many sing with unswerving zeal.

Many Skibidi Toilets are specially designed and used for combat. Normal White/Gray Skibidi Toilets form the basis of their society since they are the most common and widespread variants of their species. They are not generally made for combat and some don't appear to fight at all, as evidenced in Episode 9 and Episode 27.

It is very likely that Skibidi Toilets seem to originate in the US State of Ohio and are theorized to be created primarily from humans. It is still uncertain how they infect (if they infect at most) humans and convert them into their kind. It is uncertain when they exactly first showed up, but it is possible that they were first created or produced sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s as seen in a news print seen in Episode 70 (Part 2) and the reason for their existence is highly debated, another valid theory is them being a race of extraterrestrial invaders, considering the appearance of Giant Flying Skibidi Toilets in Episode 5, as well as existence of Astro Toilets as part of the species, with name alone indicating cosmic origins.

Despite losing some of their intelligence from their past, Skibidi Toilets seem to be incredibly intelligent beings, creating very advanced technologies and are able to accurately plan out in warfare, and having some sort of a hierarchy, writing system, basic society formation and an intricate political system. Some toilets had betrayed their own species, shown in Episode 60, wherein the Detainer Astro Toilet, along with the Assailant Astro Toilet had attempted to execute the Decoy G-Toilet Skibidi Toilet, but failed. All of the Skibidi Toilet verbal "communication" is formed from the opening lyrics of the song "Skibidi Toilet" or snippets of those opening lyrics. The song is a sped-up remix/mashup of the songs "Give It To Me" by Timbaland (The most common and popular one), "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado and "Dom Dom Yes Yes" by Biser King. They are shown to repeat the opening lyrics in full and in short snippets, indicating that it serves as a form of speech as well as their battle cry, we haven't seen the Skibidi Toilet "talk", such as in Skibidi toilet 17 and Skibidi toilet 60 where they have been saying "skibidi" repeatedly although it is used in a speech-like manner meaning it is an individual, composed dialect made by the toilets to communicate to one another but is yet to be fully deciphered and comprehended. It is unknown where the Toilets learnt the "dialect" and why they can't communicate using a real speech based communication system. All toilets know english but they think their "skibidi" language is more advanced and superior then human speech.

Some Skibidi Toilets also have the ability to laugh or snicker, including the Chief Scientist Skibidi Toilet.

The Astro Skibidi Toilets have demonstrated the ability to comprehend and communicate in human language. But in actuality, it is false

i have to ruin my hiatus for rhis

reblogs and disappears for months 2 the gasa4 script folder 🙁🙁😒☹️😒

Pls leave my skibidi gyatts alone..they're in ohio mewing in my rizzlers, my phantom tax are due and I can't goon 😔😔😔 when the are you can be how we yeah 😊👍

[sgt-cookie-2]

At the risk of sounding like a fukkin weeb, I do genuinely dislike the trend in Western media that "being fun to watch" is synonymous with "being for kids", which frankly is far les prevalant in Anime/Manga.

Like, if you look at the top 10 TV Shows according to IMDB's top 250, what do we see (As of 10/12/24)? 1. Breaking Bad 2. Planet Earth 2 3. Planet Earth 4. Band of Brothers 5. Chernobyl 6. The Wire 7. Avatar The Last Airbender 8. Blue Planet 2 9. The Sopranos 10. Cosmos Four of those are documentaries and don't really fall under the criticism I'm giving here, so if we discount those and only include fiction, the list looks more like this:

1. Breaking Bad 2. Band of Brothers 3. Chernobyl 4. The Wire 5. Avatar The Last Airbender 6. The Sopranos 7. Game of Thrones 8. Bluey 9. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 10. Rick and Morty Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, The Wire, The Sporanos, Game of Thrones don't get me wrong, they're excellent pieces of media and are legendary TV shows for all the right reasons. But as entertaining as they are, they're not fun. They're very powerful and moving and all that, and for very good reasons, but there's nothing in them that gives you a feeling of hype, of excitement. Avatar: The Last Airbender deals with themes of authoritarianism, genocide, propaganda, racism, sexism, war, peace, abuse, trauma, hate, all sorts of things that the other shows deal with just as much, but it's also allowed to be fun. To be exciting. To have those moments of people coming up against each other. Yet because its animated and the characters don't swear at each other, it's apparently "just a kid's show"?

Bluey is genuinely a young children's show, from the ground up, so it falls outside this general critique. Rick and Morty is an animated sitcom. Sure, that's absolutely not something you can say is "for kids", but that's less to do with the subject matter itself and entirely down to its presentation. Is it "fun"? Yeah, absolutely. It's a fuckin' blast to watch. But it's not something that takes itself seriously.

And then we finally get to the one actual anime on this list*. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an absolutely legendary show that's simultaniously very explicit in how grotesque war is while at the same time keeping that spark of fun and excitement. At its darkest, it's just as dark as some of the other shows on this list, perhaps even darker, but individual episodes have lighter moments than entire series. *(Well, at least this "modified top 10" list I'm working with. The actual IMDB list has way more: Attack On Titan is rank 23, Hunter x Hunter is 33, Death Note is 36, Cowboy Bebop is 42, Frieren is 57, One Piece is 59, DBZ is 67/73 (Somehow), Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is 76, Vinland Saga is 78, Steins;Gate is 90, Berserk is 94, One Punch Man is 110, Naruto: Shippuden is 113, Monster is 115, Code Geass is 132, Haikyuu!! is 152, Ippo is 162, Demon Slayer is 171, OG Dragonball is 185/188 (Again, somehow), Samurai Champloo is 196, Jujutsu Kaisen is 203, Mob Psycho 100 is 212, Neon Genesis Evangelion is 222, Rurôni Kenshin is 234, FMA: 2003 is 235, Your Lie In April is 245, Gintama is 246.) The only western media that really captures that same spirit of being fun are comic books. But how many people think of comic books as something for kids? How prevalant is the stereotype that the only adults who read comic books are virgin nerd losers? I've been trying to get back into novel reading recently and almost every book I try to read is either some super gritty "Everything is awful, everyone is a piece of shit and only bastards survive in this world" or some basically zero-stakes "cozy" novel. I want stakes, I want danger, but I don't want the characters to be awful people doing awful things just to survive. I want them to be exciting, I want them to be having the time of their god damn lives. But that's just not "realistic" so of course, we can't have that. No, they have to be bastards living in a bastard world. Because having hope that things might get better is childish.

(That's not to say I haven't tried those types of novel of course! I managed to get through the entire Malazan Book of The Fallen series. And I have Opinions tm. My two biggest criticisms are: About half the events that happen don't matter and the ending was less satisfying than Game Of Thrones. It didn't feel like an ending, it felt like an excuse to stop.) Now, of course, I'm not saying that Anime/Manga is inherently better than Western media, it's just a format at the end of the day. Monster, Death Note, Vinland Saga, these are all excellent pieces of media that can't really be described as "fun" in the same way. But how many anime/manga can you think of that are fun, yet take themselves seriously? That play those dark themes completely straight? Western media has a habit of equating "fun" with either "children" or "comedy". It doesn't always, of course. The John Wick films play their themes totally straight and they're hype as fuck for it. The Dark Knight is literally a Batman film. Tarantino's entire filmography is simultaniously great fun and completely straight. The entire MCU or Star Wars are also examples. (But even the fuckin' MCU is literally based on comic books). But the point I'm making is that when it comes to non-kids shows, western media being "fun" is the exception, while for anime/manga, it being deathly serious is. Even fucking Berserk, the darkest fucking fantasy around, has those moments of absolute hype and excitement that you just don't really see much in western-made media. In conclusion, Western media just isn't as comfortable with the idea that things can both be "serious" and "hype as fuck" as Anime/Manga is and that's a real detritment to western media as a whole. I would absolutely love to see a TV show that's allowed to be fun, yet at the same time, actually considered "serious" entertainment and you just don't really see that much. It's either trying to be "in on the joke" with a wink and a nod as if to say "Yeah, we know this isn't meant to be taken seriously, so we're not even gonna try", or it treats the fact jokes exist with disgust.

Selina and her friends fight for Gotham against the White Glove in Catwoman #67. John Stewart’s will is tested against the will of the old gods, while his mother is being terrorized by the Star Shroud in Green Lantern: War Journal #11.

IM RUNNING LAPS HE IS SO ATTRACTIVE AND FOR WHAT?!?!??

[just-trying-my-best-everyday]

Hi, yes, I never want to see Levi make this face ever again, thank you so much.

[bluesylveon2]

Omg I just finished today's episodes and wow. It was really good! The CGI looked pretty good. I do feel bad for the Survey Corps with everything going on. Some of my other thoughts:

The Levi forest scene was really good. Love the music and the animation

I wish we got more of the Levi making sushi scene lol

Omg the poor horse 😭

Reading Zeke's backstory in the manga was ok. It felt more impactful watching it in today's episode

Now these are spoilers for the next episode and the manga:

I think it's a good thing to move the Hange saves Levi scene for later. It's a good cliffhanger in my opinion. 

I love the attention to detail MAPPA put today! I never knew Ksaver's titan form until 137, and I noticed the plush ram during his flashback. Kudos to them!

Anime Recommendations!

Hi everyone, I hope y’all are safe and happy! With quarantine still in place (at least in my country), I’m gonna keep the random rec lists coming! I’ve been watching a lotttt of animes and rewatching favourites, so I thought I’d share some of my favourites of all time! A lot of them are pretty mainstream, but for my friends who aren’t really into anime, these will get you hooked! In no particular order, let’s get started!

1. Snow White with the Red Hair, 24 episodes 

This is hands down my favourite anime of all time. This shoujo anime make me feel so happy and it’s so wholesome, honestly such a feel good anime. Without spoiling too much, it’s about a herbalist named Shirayuki who ends up having to flee her home country and ends up meeting Prince Zen and goes to live in his country. The cast of characters in the anime is so good, there’s not a character to dislike. The genuine build up of friendship and eventual romance is just so sweet please watch. 

2. Demon slayer (26 episodes) 

One of the best anime I’ve watched this past year. This anime has amazing plot, awesome animation and a great cast of characters. This anime follows Tanjiro as he becomes a demon slayer after a demon killed his family. Tanjiro and his sister, Nezuko were the only survivors but Nezuko was turned in a demon and now Tanjiro is on a journey to change he back into a human. If you are into anime with amazing fight scenes, I highly recommend. 

3. Hunter x Hunter (148 episodes) 

I am currently watching this anime and it honestly made it onto my lists of favourite anime super quickly. The series starts with Gon and his quest to become a pro hunter and find his dad and goes on from there. With so many episodes and arcs, you can’t stop watching. The characters immediately hooked me on this show, Killua and Gon’s friendship is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen in anime, I literally want to adopt both of them. This anime is so heartwarming but also kinda dark and action packed. 

4. Haikyuu!! (73 episodes, on-going)

My favourite sports anime my god. Haikyuu follows a high school volleyball team as they try to make it to nationals. This series made me so much more emotional than I thought it would, but you get so involved with the team and characters and want them to succeed. All of the characters from all of the teams are also fantastic and hilarious. If you need a fun but exciting anime, please please please watch Haikyuu!!

5. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (64 episodes)

Where to even begin. I would say this is one of the most popular anime and for good freaking reason. Without giving too much away, this anime follows brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric as they go on a quest to get their bodies back. Honestly this is one of my fav animes, if you like awesome fight scenes and really intriguing plot, you will love this anime. 

6. Yona of the Dawn (24 episodes) 

Another amazing anime but sadly, unfinished. I think this anime is best to watch w/o knowing very much. Just know that there is really good characters and character development and a very attractive love interest :))))

7. Soul eater (51 episodes) 

One of the first animes I ever watched and as I remember it’s hella awesome, if you like halloween then the whole atmosphere of this anime will intrigue you. The fight scenes in this are really fun and so are the characters. If you need a fun medium length anime, I would recommend this one!

8. Inuyasha (193 episodes)

This anime is worth all the hype in my opinion. The plot was great, the characters are fantastic and romance is so freaking cute I can’t. I’m also a sucker for asshole characters who are secretly really sweet. 

9. Fruits Basket (2019) (25 episodes (S1), S2 on-going)

This is the cutest anime. The whole cast characters is amazing and you get so attached so fast. The protagonist is so sweet and optimistic and I really just wanna protect her. I went into this knowing next nothing and I think that’s the best way to do it. The 2001 version is good too but 2019 has better animation and is closer to managa (and has more episodes!). 

10. My Hero Academia (88 episodes, on-going)

I love this anime with my whole heart. There is an adorable cast of characters and amazing fight scenes, I love this sm. It’s set in a world where like 95% of the population has ‘quirks’ which are basically super powers but not all of them are super powerful. Super heroes protect cities and the anime follows a high school where the students are training to become heroes. The main character is born without a quirk but through some crazy circumstances he ends up acquiring one. In my opinion this anime is worth the hype. 

11. Ouran Highschool Host Club (26 episodes)

This one is wild. Ouran Highschool Host club is so iconic and it’s hilarious, I laughed out loud watching this one so much. Honestly I went into this knowing nothing and I think its funnier that way. 

12. Yuri!!! On Ice (13 episodes)

THIS ANIME. The first sports anime w/ canon LGBTQ+ romance and its beautiful. I love the style, the skating, the music, the characters, just everything about it. This follows Yuri Katsuki, a professional figure skater from Japan and his skating career. After messing up a major championship, Yuri is lost and doesn’t know what to do w/ his career. After seeing a video of Yuri skate, his idol Victor, a skating legend, shows up to be his coach. Please watch this anime. 

13. Attack on Titan (62 episodes, on-going)

If you are looking for a badass action anime this is the one for you. Humanity has fallen to the mercy of giant man-eating titans, and the people that survived live within a walled city to keep the titans out. This anime is a little disturbing and violent but it is so badass. Also Levi, the most badass character ever, makes this entire anime worth watching. 

14. Ao Haru Ride (12 episodes)

Hands down my favourite romance anime. This anime is so freaking cute and it gave me so many fuzzy feelings. The animation is also super nice so that is always a plus. It follows Futaba and Kou who liked each other in middle school but were separated. They meet again in high school but they have both changed so much. If you want a romance anime I really recommend this one. 

15. Naruto (720 episodes)

This is a freaking classic and really long. Almost everyone and their mother has heard of this anime or watched some of it before. Basically it’s about ninjas and follows mainly Naruto Uzumaki who want to eventually be the leader of his village but his ninja skills need a lot of work. I honestly didn’t think I would love this anime as much as I did but its just so good. It is a very big commitment to finish though so be prepared. 

16. Your Lie in April (22 episodes)

Well this anime is literally beautiful. It is centered around 2 teens w/ major musical talent. It gets deep very fast but its also light hearted and wholesome. This anime made me cry like a baby so get your tissues ready.
