a little sketch for @not-so-austen ‘s ‘fix-it’ fic Fighting the Fall. It’s such a beautiful story that made me fall absolutely in love with the idea of these two. I’m so glad I found it 🥹 they deserve everything good in this world.

Do u have any anime recs?

oh uhhhh… i haven’t watched much anime recently so most of the ones i’m recommending are like what i liked in middle school so i may not be remembering correctly but! first off!

please watch haikyuu if you haven’t already!! unsurprisingly, this is my main rec; it’s the only anime/manga i’m currently keeping up with. all the characters are so endearing, all the matches are genuinely interesting, and the main protagonist is so sweet and so motivational and so easy to root for. please watch! or read! and if you do pls hmu bc i’d love to talk hq with anyone. follow my twitter for hq content wink wink

and then here’s a quick list:

honestly any sport anime (esp tsurune, free!, kuroko no basket, yowamushi pedal, and oofuri. they’re all so feel good and have great characters)

beastars (watched this recently and it’s so entertaining! this is the anime that made most people go ‘i’m not a furry… BUT—‘ but honestly! this is about animals, but the world building is fascinating and the characters are so interesting. trust me. i might get under fire for this description, but think zootopia but darker.)

the promised neverland (i only read the manga, but this is so unsettling and the first arc of the manga, which is what the anime covers, is the best. if you’re into horror and a hint of mystery, i can guarantee this will be a good watch.)

violet evergarden (i binged this on a whim on netflix and it ended up making me cry every episode idk. it’s about understanding love and coming to terms with loss and it’s just really sweet.)

death parade (also made me cry a lot. and it’s such an interesting take?? on how the afterlife works?? and on morality and mortality??? but while it’s very sobering, it’s so quirky and fun at the same time. each episode focuses on new characters and new stories, and a new game they have to play to determine whose soul gets reincarnated. it’s a short watch, so check it out!)

mob psycho 100 (the animation!! is awesome!! and the story is so quirky. this is fairly popular so i don’t think i really need to sell it, but it is so endearing. highly recommend!)

psycho pass (i don’t want to spoil any of it, but i love watching detective/cop shows, and the futuristic society they’re part of is so intriguing. the anime focuses on their debatably dystopian justice system and the ethical dilemma that comes with it, and the way the plucky, stubborn protag navigates enforcing it is fascinating. it’s a really good watch!)

hamatora (another detective anime. this one is a lot more lighthearted and bright than psycho pass, as lighthearted as hunting down a serial killer gets, but it is just as intriguing. quirky characters! fun colors! interesting world! it’s awesome)

gekkan shoujo nozaki kun (super lighthearted! super funny! something you watch when u just want to feel good. the characters and their relationships with each other are all so eclectic and entertaining)

kakegurui (it’s all about Gambling and there’s all these interesting games that the characters play and that stuff is like my Shit. it’s just so captivating when we get intelligent protags and concepts like this; i love watching the way they figure out how to beat their opponent and all the mind games they play. it’s fun. it borders ecchi sometimes tho, if that’s not ur thing)

gatchaman crowds (i remember Loving this but i can’t even recall what the plot is about. monster fighting? mecha? but the animation is Stellar. i can’t really promote this well, but this is a Highly Recommended one from me)

kyoukai no kanata/beyond the boundary (don’t remember the overarching plot, if there is one, but we got a character who uses a sword made of her own blood constantly trying to kill a character who can’t die. and going monster hunting together! it’s fun)

yona of the dawn (one of my favorites tbh. i don’t have any romance centric anime on this list, and this is by no means just a romance, but the relationships in this are Adorable. and the protag is a princess that learns how to kick ass and has a squad of dragons so like. that’s rad)

rokka: braves of the six flowers (fantasy! mystery! really cool characters! it’s got it all! the mystery element is what captivated me the most, and i genuinely can’t even remember who the imposter is rn. i guarantee you’ll be at the edge of your seat watching this)

and then there’s these that mostly everyone knows already, but i want to still mention: fruits basket and ouran high school host club!! classics

and honorable mentions that are good but i don’t have anything to rly ramble about: terror in resonance, hyouka, parasyte, tsuritama (🎣👽🦆), sakamoto desu ga, rin-ne, samurai champloo, kill la kill and no game no life and food wars (tho these get way too fan service-y), kids on the slope, and my love story

and i’d love some anime recs too if any one’s got any!
