  1. While I believe anime is diverse enough that everyone can find something they enjoy, I don’t believe there is any singular title that will appeal to everyone. Also, romance isn’t really my forte. With the caveats out of the way my top 3 romance anime are: Fruits Basket (2019-21 version) • Kaguya-sama: Love is War • Insomniacs After School. I may post an additional 2 after having more time to think.

    The first manga I read? The Azumanga Daioh manga

    I was about to say Yotsuba& but then I remembered I only seen a few clips of the manga from YouTube videos before I read the Azudaioh manga 😭

    I’m actually surprised Yotsuba never got an anime adaption.

    Ooh, I thought I was a bit lonely on the whole "I don't like shonen battle anime" stuff aside from a few friends of mine- that's very relieving! XD
    Yeah, as for FLCL, I just watch Season 1. Alternative was a bit cool, but nothing can top FLCL Classic (as I call it) to me. Especially the dub, it was amazing. "COME BACK TO LIIIIIIIFE!" "WAAAAAAAHHHH--" "MOOOOOCHYOOOOO" "AAAAAAAAAAAA-" ugh, I can't get it out of my head!

    Yeah, it can be a challenge sometimes to discuss anime if you were never really a fan of  “The Big Three”. I think part of it for me was my intro/biggest early influence when it comes to anime were Star Blazers & Robotech. Though now I’m more into fantasy/supernatural genres & SOL/CGDCT.

    I think the battle shonen I’ve seen the most of are My Hero Academia (glad it’s finally wrapping up) & Dragonball (had my fill of it after DBZ Kai & wish I had my time back from GT)

    Was a three-volume original English-language manga called The Dreaming. I was unfamiliar with manga at the time (I was maybe twelve when I read it), but I read this particular story several times through and loved it. Ended up being a gateway into the medium for me.

    I remember this one as well (nostalgia for my Tokyo Pop phase).

  5. Welcome 😁 Hope you find things to interest you here.

    I’ve never been much into the shonen mega-series either (burned out on One Piece after about 150 episodes). Azumanga Daioh is one of my all time faves & my definitive SOL series. I found FLCL enjoyable but wish they’d stop trying to “catch lightning in a bottle” again, the sequels/follow-ups just don’t work.

  6. You mentioned The Dangers in My Heart & romcoms as your favorites so I’ll recommend Insomniacs After School & Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible. Some recent anime I don’t think get enough love:

    Migi & Dali - yeah the humor is pretty cringe, but actually an interesting psychological murder mystery.

    Raven of the Inner Palace - a lot of similarities to The Apothecary Diaries, but with supernatural elements.
