do you have any anime recs! my watchlist is getting a little too short for my liking and i’d love to fill it back up again

umm idk 🤔 i dont watch a TON of anime, a lot of it is what ive seen people talk about. but i guess ill put some animanga i really enjoy. theres not much though bc i ended up infodumping a lot. whoops

mob psycho 100: a lot of people have seen it already but i *highly* recommend it to just about everyone. this shit changed my life. unconventional slice of life/shounen cross. central theme of kindness and self improvement. cool ass psychic battles. thats mp100. warnings in case you didnt know for transmisogyny in the second half of the second ep and in the anime theres that minor character who looks like hes in blackface starting from i believe episode 10 of season 1 and showing up again near the end of season 2. really gross stains on what is otherwise one of my favorite media of all time.

blue exorcist: this has an anime and its usually how ppl get into the series but it has like confusing continuity between the first and second seasons and imo the first season at least doesnt do the manga justice. plus it only covers like 15% of the manga thats out rn and there were 6 years between the first and second season and no sign of season 3. so wjat im saying is READ THE MANGA

anyway its about a teenager who finds out his dad is satan and that hes a half demon wuh oh. he has a twin brother whos normal tho :) anyway he becomes an exorcist cause he wants to kill satan and also cause its the only way the other exorcists wont kill him outright. (this is like one of the things i was heavily reminded of when reading jjk and thinking it was super derivative lol) there are a lot of religious themes and aesthetics and the characters have interesting and fun development and the plot is really interesting and eventually gets batshit insane. its kind of long at this point and i think the author said its like halfway done but imo its very well paced and still worth reading. personally ive been keeping up w the manga for like 6+ years. unfortunately it is a shounen manga and suffers the plague of having a token pervert character (shima the bastard. at least every other character thinks hes insufferable) and sexualized woman character (shura wears a bikini top ??). author is a woman so i think she probably has internal issues but i shan't psychoanalyze strangers. also i dont remember this well at all bc i binge read this part when i was 12 but heres a post one of my friends made about transmisogyny in the manga around chapter 40.

witch hat atelier: this is a manga, doesnt have an anime. its about a little girl who wants to become a witch and trains with other witches in a little atelier. blew up on the tumbs recently, definitely as good as people say imo. the art is GORGEOUS in every single panel, all characters have clear motivations and defined personalities, plot is well-paced, and it generally feels comfy; theres probably one of the most gentle and caring mentor characters ive ever seen in qifrey. one of the things i really like about this that idk if ive seen talked about much is the subversion of the trope that "you have to be born with this power" which is best explained by the manga itself. not to mention theres disabled characters that arent "cured," but have creative accomodations that fit well within the universe, like "wheelchairs" being chairs with enchanted legs that move like an animal. i genuinely dont have any complaints about wha. its good. read it.

DONT read/watch tokyo ghoul. i mean it would be funny to me in a schadenfreude way if you did but dont for your own sake
