Ask Lemmy

Little Witch Academia: a passion project and it shows, a witch school with a colorful cast of character and an even more colorful cast of villains, alternative name: lesbian hogwarts

Girls und panzer and its movie, while it does fall into the cute girls doing cute thing type of genre, GuP is one of the ones who really popularized it, its a series thats just plain old fun to watch how they fight their tank battles, especially the movie

Ben-to, another series thats just plain ol fun, people beat the snot out of each other for the privilege to buy price reduced food, animated by the people who went on to do jojo

that just be my top 3 to show everyone

Afterlife

I think nobody mentioned it yet. It's about someone who lost the love of his life, so the show is about those emotions and the struggle to continue. It's quite sad sometimes, but the show also has a lot of humour and I laughed my ass off multiple times.

Why watch a show about such a sad circumstance? I think we all lost someone or will lose very important persons / friends someday and it's important to learn how to deal with that and how it's important to continue. I can't emphasize that enough

Fucking DEADWOOD.

I can't get anybody in my life to watch it and it is literally in the running for best show of all-time.

This thread is case-in-point!

One of my favorite short scenes.

You’re getting a recency bias, but I watched Akudama Drive about a month ago and really loved it.

have you heard about Ajin?

Monogatari series. I must have watched that entire series like a dozen times already. I absolutely love the VA's performance. Finally reading through the Light Novels now.

Hajime No Ippo. Manga is still a blast and the anime was incredible too.

I had a good time with Blue Lock as well.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - A Netflix K-drama about an autistic savant lawyer. It's charming, funny, and has a really beautiful story overall.

Bofuri: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - a cute and fun anime about Maple, who doesn't want to get hurt in a VR MMO so she maxes her defense and becomes a hero.

I like light-hearted shows, so I'll be checking out a few of the ones in this thread 🙂

@Shkshkshk @asklemmy Foyle's War, Line of Duty, Shetland, The Brokenwood Mysteries, and now Deadloch

I have a genre for sure, lol

I can stop recommending Bad Sisters, but I won't. It's fantastic, through and through.

Dai-guard, a somewhat obscure mecha anime. It's a comedy about what would realistically happen if you had a giant mecha fighting monsters from another dimension: bureaucracy, lawsuits, government interference, and physics.

Terminator Zero was great.

Station Eleven is the best tv show ever made.

For shows: My name is Earl was a very funny one that never got a proper ending before being cancelled.

For anime: Serial Experiments Lain.

Tower of God is my absolute favorite anime and comic right now. Can't recommend it enough. Deeply interesting systems, amazing supporting cast, unique twists on old tropes.

Undone, it's created by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

I think most people haven't seen/heard of it because it's an amazon streaming exclusive, but you can watch it (and most other things) for free here: https://hydrahd.com/

Lately Slow Horses on apple+

Very good UK agent/crime show.

I slept on Supernatural for a long time and now I can't stop, I'm on like season 13 and it still keeps getting better

I'm not an anime guy. But I'll occasionally pop one on if the plot interests me. Vinland saga was good, Castlevania as well. I know the American anime haters will hate me. Aside from that I randomly watched "my happy marriage"with my wife and it was really good and I actually can't wait till season 2

Babylon 5
