I officially started liking anime since 2014. It was not that I hadn’t been exposed to anime when I was a kid, It was just did not concern me much. I was raised with Naruto though.
I like Japanese term of ‘henshin’. That is because I used to watch Kamen Rider. Their style of transformations just amused me. Even since then my friends in high school used to call me ‘henshin’ as my nickname (well, that’s a long time ago).
Anyway, I just want to say about my preferences of anime. I would like to list the entire genres that I like according to my own ranking:
1) Slice of Life / Drama / Adventure (eg. Barakamon, Kino's Journey, Violet Evergarden, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End)
2) Seinen (eg. Rainbow, Mushishi, Joker Game)
3) Thriller / Mystery / Horror (eg. Shadows House, Dark Gathering, Another)
4) Action / Shounen (eg. Claymore, Bungou Stray Dog, Spy x Family, Durarara)
5) Psychological (eg. Pyscho-Pass, Parasyte, Casshern Sins)
6) Romance / Shoujo [decent] (eg. Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, The Garden of Words, Tada Never Falls in Love)
7) Mecha / Sci-Fi (eg. Heroic Age, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, Noein: To Your Other Self)
I don’t prefer any stories that have almost romance-focus (explicit).
My "Forever Top 5 Anime" are:
*P.S. consider as "Manga Favorites" below
1) Naruto
2) Spy x Family
3) Natsume's Book of Friends
4) Hinamatsuri
5) Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Lastly, feel free to recommend me any anime or sent me a message about anything and I hope to find more new friends to chat with that also love anime world...:-)
How I rate an anime
1) concept + plot storyline + dialogue
2) enjoyment + attractive presentation + characterization
3) strong meaningful experience (make me appreciate it / thinking)
4) sound(track) + atmosphere
5) music + art (I carefully reconsider this as I think it is not entirely the purpose of a good Anime)
Additional Information: I also love video games, though not as much as Anime. But I'll admit that I follow video game community more than Anime.....???
My Top 5 Video Game Franchises of All Time (none will top these).
1) Resident Evil (by Capcom)
2) Mega Man (by Capcom)
3) Tales of series (by Bandai Namco)
4) Final Fantasy (by Square Enix)
5) Metroid series (by Nintendo)
Hey there, I wanted to recommend a show I think you'll like (Akatsuki no Yona). It has 24 episodes plus a 3 episode ova sequel. If you do decide to give it a watch I'd advise against reading the synopsis as it gives away a spoiler that might impact the surprising element I liked so much about it but it's your choice.
I'm a huge Char Aznable fan (just check my avatars). I have seen all or most of his stuff, including the U.C. Gundam series. I just wanted to see if it was worth my time. Newer does not always mean better, sadly. "91 Days" does sound like a good bit of fun. I'll check that out soon as well. Thank you for the tips.
1. Absolutely, ZZ Gundam has been all but retconned out of existence. Char doesn't appear in ZZ Gundam at all.
2. I think 8th MS Team is one of the best Gundam series. Its romance plot is pretty whatever, but it has a great supporting cast and really well thought-out scenarios. The Battle in the 3rd Dimension special is good too.
I'll have to watch to find out. But, your words have peaked my interest. As soon as I'm done with "Steins;Gate" I shall sample that. Btw, when you're done with "91 Days" I think you should write a review. I think your opinion is a good one and it can help others who are curious about the show.
I am 76 episodes into the show. I adore it. I have put it on hold for now because I made a promise to a friend of mine that we would complete it together. But, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Make sure to bookmark the re-make coming next year!
I check my friends profiles every now and then to see what they're watching/reading/adding, etc. I find it's the most reliable way of finding good Anime and Manga. I noticed you added it recently.
