A Decade of Anime Suggestions

Wow! It’s Officially 2020! Spicy. I know I dont tend to make actual post on my blog but I really would like to give a few shout outs and suggestions of Anime that I personally really enjoyed this past decade! Let me know what shows meant a lot to you as well please!

2010

Durarara!! 

Durarara came out in 2010 ( the first season at least ) and I mean if you’re at least vaguely a part of the anime community you’ve probably heard of it. Its a show that is honestly all over the place but its a fun ride. Simply put it’s about color gangs but it also has a headless fairy and a man who can throw vending machines? Its wild but a lot of fun.

2011

Madoka Magica

Magical Girls? Check. Friendship? Check. Soft lesbianism? Absolutely. Death? You betcha. This was not the first show I had seen that was on the Darker side but it was the first one to initially sell itself as something happy and fun. 

Madoka Magica sells itself as a typical magical girl anime where young girls transform into frilly cloths and beat up monsters but this show helped to revolutionize the genre. While a lot of the shows that come after it that try to follow its formula dont always come off as genuine this anime put its best foot forward and had a beautiful soundtrack and interesting art styles. 

2012

what can I say, i didn’t hate the shows in 2012, but none felt meaningful enough to me to add here. Tell me your favorite anime form 2012!!

2013

Free! 

aww yes, free, the sports anime to get people into sports anime. there is no denying that this show is full to the brim with Queer Baiting but hey, It was fun to watch and did get me genuinely interested in swimming. This was the start of a lowkey obsession with sports anime for me ( not all of them made this list tho but if you want to know what other sports anime I like hmu!!)

2014

Haikyuu!!

Dudes being Bros? Aw fuck yeah. This show was one of the shows my friends and i watched together in High School. The Large supporting cast made it easy to have at least one (if not a whole team) character to love with all your heart. These characters helped motivate me in my day to day life, and I know that sounds kind of silly but their optimism was grounded in reality, it wasn’t some big quest to save the world, it was a story about High School boys wanting to play and win at Volleyball and their determination helped me a lot.

2015

Kekkai Sensen 

I have always been more of a fan of fantasy rather than SciFi but this show really does it for me, balancing itself right in the middle. You you like either SciFi or Fantasy I would suggest you give this show a shot. (or if you just like pretty animation and funny characters) The first season is a bit bumpy but its still a beautiful story! Its the kind of show you can keep rewatching and every time notice something different. 

The simplest overview of the plot is that Our World and Another universe sort of overlap, but only in New York, which is then Renamed Hell Salems Lot. But like even before this there were like vampires on earth? Idk the show never takes itself too seriously because it knows its plot is kind of Out There, but the main Character Leonard Watch is basically just trying to do his best to make money to send back home to his sister. Its really sweet but also really wild.

2016

My Hero Academia

Honestly you cant watch anime and not know what this show is right now, but its first season came out in 2016. The general Pitch of it is like a Western Style Comic Book Hero but set in the typicla Japanese School Setting that anime loves. Its really fun and even if its not your favorite show it defiantly deserves a spot on the list

BUT! so does...

Mob Psycho 100

While I couldn’t leave out My hero academia, it felt wrong not to mention this Gem of a show. Mob Psycho 100 is beautifully animate ( yes you heard me right, i think its beautiful, the art is weird but its still pretty and the animation is so fluid) Simply put its about a boy named Mob with Psychic powers who is crazy strong, but he doesn’t want to use his powers because they wont get him what he really wants ( the attention of his childhood crush) As a young boy he wanted someone to teach him how to control his powers and he found Reigen ( a conman who pretends to be a psychic) and thats the best I can explain without spoiling anything!

2017

Land of the Lustrous 

This show has one season and its pretty slow. There is a plot, i guess, but i have no idea on how to explain it in a way that makes sense! It mostly made this list because of how beautiful it is. It is fully CGI and it is stunning to look at. Even if you don’t plan on watching the show I would suggest watching the theme song at least.

2018 

A Place Further Than The Universe

This show is an emotional bitter sweet rollicoaster. It starts off with a girl who feels like she is wasting her youth and wants to do something big who then meets another girl who wants to go to Antarctica because thats where her mother passed away and she wants to “see her one last time”. Its a sweet story about friendship and youth and loss of a loved one and I would 110% recommend this show.

2019

Promised Neverland 

The promised neverland is a psychological thriller about children being raised in an orphanage finding out that they are more like cattle then children. The show is about the three Oldest trying to figure out a way to escape before their 12th birthday. 

That concludes a decades worth of good anime!! I hope the next one hold just as many of not more amazing shows!!

[babysizedfics]

Oh! I almost forgot about the dnd stuff! But it makes me so so happy! Do you perchance have any more concepts on that?

family dnd concepts

roman has ALWAYS wanted to play dnd but none of his friends are into it and hes a tiny bit shy about joining a local group, not because he thinks its nerdy or because he doesnt like new people, but because he doesnt want to be seen as dumb for not knowing the rules - he's very sensitive about people calling him dumb because of his experiences in high school

logan has registered interest in it when roman talked about how cool it looks but he also says that just two players would probably not make for a fulfilling game

what they dont know is janus has played dnd for a few years and occassionally plays DM in games at a local game store - not too often as he doesnt like the vibes of the people there as much as he likes his knitting group, but he does love to craft adventures and watch people react and enjoy them

here's one i havent quite decided on yet - Michael (vee's future QPP) works at a local games store selling like video games and rpgs but also hosting rpg games, and i lowkey want it to be that janus and michael have MET a handful of times at these dnd games. they would have barely spoken, maybe michael only played in one of janus' games once but i think it will be funny for them to be on somewhat good but not close terms then when vee introduces them they suddenly hate each other (janus bc he is overprotective of vee and michael for the same reason)

janus and roman bond over dnd and i have no idea how or when but it sparks roman to get to know janus as a person rather than a threat to vee and their family dynamic

janus is incredibky patient with teaching roman all the ins and outs of the game

at some point janus and roman and logan start playing together and when patotn and vee see how much fun theyre having they want in on it - cue family dnd games once a month

the family games are exactly that - family friendly. no big scary monsters, just magical creatures that need help. this is to avoid triggering vee's anxiety or offer him any nightmare fuel, and also to avoid accidentally triggering his regression through fear

tumbkebee is actually the one who recommended it but patton plays as a really soft orc character, big and beefy of course but who makes flower chains and his special power is Papa Orc Hugs

vee plays as a halfling ? that what theyre called?? the lil guys

i dont know anything about dnd

anyway so pattons character carries vees character on his shoulders during adventures and it makes vee smiley

janus and roman and logan fondly smile and bite back any sly remarks or eye rolls when vee and patton use their turns to make their characters hug each other for the tenth time

the family friendly games are very sweet and they DO get some good story out of it - they genuinely get invested in these magical beings that have backstories and that require the party's assistance in lighthearted quests that they will be rewarded for

but roman also tends to get a little.. antsy

he wants the EXCITEMENT and THREAT of defeating a big monster in game

so eventually roman actually starts to go to the dark sides house once in a while to play dnd with janus and remus !! its where he lets his creativity run a little wilder and lets himself indulge in the darker themes of the game

side note he does sometimes go little from excitement during or after these games and remus did tease him about it at first before janus had several words with him

the one night janus introduced a monster he created - The Dragon Witch - roman got so excited and bouncy and little that they had to take a break for janus (and remus) to play tag with him and help him get out his excess energy and calm down

also roman has stayed overnight a few times

him and remus bond a little on these nights - they argue sure, they scream at each other for bad in game decisions, but they also shsre excited little smiles with wide scared eyes when janus smirks sadistically at one of their decisions because he's clearly got something thrilling planned

janus takes roman to his first game at the local group once theyve pkayed a few themselves and roman does enjoy it and likes meeting new people but to him nothing compares to okaying with his family - both of his families
