Knights of Sidonia, Moribito, Ah! My Goddess, Puella Madoka Magica. If you are interested in Space Operas, PM me and we'll chat. I find most all SOs interesting so I am only tossing Sidonia up there because it is easy to find and has quite the good plot and cast. Moribito has a masterful story in my opinion. Ah My Goddess has characters you cannot help but love, and Madoka has unique art, good characters, and a good concept. Sidonia has a great concept and always gave me a Galactica-esque feel. Ecchi is nonexistent in the shows I suggested (Sidonia has harem elements but isn't ecchi).

I think the series I recommended in my earlier post are all worth considering. A couple more to add are Card Captor Sakura, Little Witch Academia & R.O.D. tv series And since you mentioned liking Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon, there is a side series called Sword Oratorio. You also mentioned wanting to explore different genres, so I'll list some of my favorites from different ones: Action/Adventure: Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Ushio & Tora Fantasy: Magic Knight Rayearth Science Fiction: Planet With, Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers) 2199 & 2202, Steins Gate, Noein Mystery: Beautiful Bones Supernatural: Mushishi Horror: Shiki, Higurashi (When they Cry) Psychological: Paranoia Agent, Monster (if you can find it anywhere) RomCom: Recovery of an MMO Junkie, ReLife Comedy/Slice of Life: Azumanga Daioh, Yuru Camp, Louie the Rune Soldier, Konosuba Weird/Surreal: FLCL, Penguin Drum, Flip Flappers

Ooh, drama recommendations. First off, we’re seconding Princess Tutu. Don’t be put off by the girly name and simplistic first few episodes, it’s one of the best fantasy series we’ve ever seen, and it gets somewhat dark at points too. It’s our absolute favourite anime. Next up, Planetes. This one is set in the near future, where there are civilians living full time in orbital space stations. What most people don’t realise about orbit though, is how much junk is up there just floating around. If it hits a space station at a high relative velocity, it doesn’t matter what it is, it’s doing some serious damage. The anime follows some trash collectors, who have to find and stop random junk from crashing into their station. They went absolutely to town on getting the physics and movements of zero G right, so if you like space, you’re in for a treat. Orange is about a girl who gets a letter from herself, 10 years in the future, telling her to save the boy she has a crush on, because he is about to die.

I have a few for ya ef: a tale of memories. (Absolutely amazing drama romance. Has some of the best writing I've seen, and the symbolism goes all the way down to the art direction because it's what Studio SHAFT is good at. Ignore its second season, ef: a tale of melodies. It was entirely optional, and really just kinda meh.) Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (It's like if Danmachi wasn't crap. Don't get me started on that one, Danmachi is my least favourite anime lol. But Grimgar delivers all around, with a realistic fantasy world with a heavy focus on teamwork to survive rather than just relying on the OP main character.) The Beheading Cycle (Also known as Kubikiri Cycle, or Zaregoto. A brilliant mystery anime, has never been topped for me in the genre. And it did it in only 8 episodes, because that's all it needed. The best part is, you can absolutely figure out the mystery far earlier than the characters do. But I assure you, you won't.) If you would like more, do tell, I have plenty to go through, and if you have any questions about the ones listed, ask away

Hi everyone, Club topics are now being shown on the front page again to try and boost your clubs. It was temporarily disabled because every clubs' pinned topics were showing on the front page. Two changes since reactivation: The sidebar filter for Club forums has been hidden on the front page, the block was too high due to the number of clubs. If your Club topic is a pinned topic, it won't appear on the front page - this is to avoid it clashing with the main pinned topics, such as our Forum Rules & Guidelines. But of course your topic will still be pinned when inside your Club forum tab. I believe this is the best compromise for now. If you really want front page exposure, try to avoid pinning it. As before, if your Club has a Gallery, the album and recent image uploads will appear when viewing the main Gallery home page.

@Beocat I am mainly looking for anything really but mainly for ones with interesting concepts, plots, and characters. I mean like heck, if some ecchi animefits those characteristics, then I would watch it. I am getting into drama and not really the type of drama derived from harems, hence why I loved “Darling in the FranXX” and Danganronpa. I am not the biggest fan on comedy animes but am willing to push that boundary as well. I also tend to like adventure animes such as “Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon”. That is just a general description. And I am willing to push boundaries and explore new genres and animes that I have never seen or heard of before.

i thought of giving attack on titan a chance honestly but then i ended up watching anime i was more interested in

You and me both, though I'm less the Neil Armstrong and more the Oregon Trail type. Hopefully I'll still be alive - and able to afford it - when/if SpaceX-tachi get a regular Mars run going. BTW, I meant Freedom, not Moonlight Mile, in my original post. (But that wasn't it either. Still looking..)

Branching off of twig's second point, and partly the first, here's more or less what the guy wanted us to recommend to him: "I want an anime from 2014 with a cool OP male MC, romance, harem, action, adventure, superpowers, swords, ecchi, and no cliffhanger." We proceeded to poke fun at him until he left.

I chose it because I'm fairly interested in anime. I've been out of touch with it lately and I wanted to know as a fan myself if I'm missing out on certain things. Along with its fairly interesting to learn what reals in interest to begin watching it in the first place.

I think I have a few for you. I had to think about it for a few minutes. Plastic Memories: This is a real good one in terms of depth to the characters, and story. No Game No Life: Very dark with a lot of depth as well, but has a little but of light humor that really sets it apart. Its a new look on a old twist. Mirai Nikki: This is a bit of a darker one with a good amount of depth. I found myself quickly attaching myself to several characters. Its similar to No Game No Life, but far darker with in my opinion more development for each individual character. Orphan: This is one not a lot of people know of, or seem to have forgotten. Its a unique twist to a fantasy story to be sure with a bit of a darker deep story. It dose have those moments where your just laughing though. Those are a few I could think of that fall within the parameters you presented. Hope this helps, and enjoy.

Animes I like: Danganronpa (Favorite): This anime has an interesting and unique plot that I have never heard of before and the characters of course would be extremely in depth because they are the best at what they do DanMachi: This makes me think if the Percy Jackson movies were actually good. I love the concept of it (classes for certain gods) The action is enjoyable and the characters were not bad either though the main character was a touch cliche Doreiku: This was an amazing psychological anime that explored how power can corrupt. It was explored really well through the characters who resembled more realistic characters which is why I assumed it was good. Darling in the FranXX (Second favorite): I don’t care what anyone says about this anime, it was amazing! The characters matched the plot and the drama so well (it made me cry). This concept of having kids not being taught about emotions and love, and then seeing them develop absolutely fascinated me. And the ending, though a touch questionable, had really beautiful symbolism which was really enjoyable, yet sad. Animes I didn’t like: Infinite Stratos: Literally worst (in my opinion) main character ever. He was so dense to everything yet still didn’t manage to make me laugh (since I assume it was comedy). All the other characters, though diverse, never added anything to the plot. Corpse party (least favorite): Butchered the game plot and made an ecchi out of a horror. Rosario Vampire: Too ecchi while managing to be more appropriate than a lot of Ecchi animes that I have seen. No plot. Horrible characters (contributed nothing)

No real questions, but we’ve got some other dumb things. A personal favourite of ours is a guy who was looking for anime recommendations. We gave him something, can’t remember what exactly, may have been something like Rokka no Yuusha, but he came back about 30 seconds later saying that we obviously didn’t know what he was looking for. After questioning him for a bit, we found out that he had checked it’s MAL page, and he turned it down because it wasn’t tagged with the ‘swords’ genre. We also had a guy once who refused to watch anything that wasn’t made in 2014. As for misconceptions, there was a guy who thought that anime was a gardening show. He also pronounced it Ah-Nee-Mee.

I have a page on my personal website that lists my favorite quotes, which is quite barren right now, with only two, quotes. Instead of putting them up, I am simply going to link to the page below. http://brycecampbell.me/quotes.html

I think that the closest to an unpopular opinion I have regarding anime is that Attack on Titan is the worst anime ever. I know I am not the only one that thinks this way, but it did not really have anything interesting.
