My unpopular opinion is I like the original FMA anime more than Brotherhood because it humanizes the bad guys better. I found the bad guys in FMA:B to be comically evil and simple characters

i really liked the plot point of the bad guys being born from human transmutation

Here is my list.

I've never heard of Talentless Nana though, I'll check that out

quick note, the first episode seems super generic and like shitty vague superhero world building. its on purpose and relevent to the plot

Dialga Aug 20, 2025 9:47 PM anime

i've seen talentless nana, it's good but i wish it had more episodes/an actual conclusion in the anime

the first episode of Komi cant communicate has one of my favorite scenes in anime. the chalkboard conversation is 10/10

Other than them shitting the bed animation wise in the second half, the show is really fucking good

I think the first arc up to the dragon fight is legitimately a 10/10 anime

the fight against Araba the dragon was definitely the best fight ive seen in recent animes (not that I watch a lot of animes)

in no particular order
Frieren
Promised Neverland (season 1)
FMAB (unpopular opinion but the original FMA is actually worth watching the first few episodes. they kinda rushed the early characterization in FMAB)
HxH
Cowboy bebop
One Piece (honestly mainly pre timeskip)
Your Lie in April and Violet evergarden
Talentless Nana
im sure there are others, cant think of em rn

pre timeskip over post is kinda crazy

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:03 PM anime

mia is amazing

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:03 PM anime

your lie in april is peak

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:12 PM anime

haven't updated my mal in a while. onky shows im watching this season are water magician, 7th prince, and silent witch

Polar_ Aug 22, 2025 6:12 PM anime

pre time skip was a lot more fun imo, i can see it

Polar_ Aug 22, 2025 6:12 PM anime

also they didnt ruin the design of Franky till time skip

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:15 PM anime

anime just wasnt the best. love the early manga. hell i think the live action is doing the early content way better than the anime

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:15 PM anime

anime has always had either quality issues or pacing issues

Polar_ Aug 22, 2025 6:18 PM anime

Yea early anime suffered a lot from trying to adapt it to 1 chapter = 1 episode. Which is why I understand the Studio WIT remake.

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 6:18 PM anime

It would help if it wasn't dogshit

sorry not sorry

a common take, not that i agree

Dialga Aug 22, 2025 6:26 PM anime

its not that common of a take, it has a really high average score

Dialga Aug 22, 2025 6:26 PM anime

i just really didnt gel with it

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:27 PM anime

I never finished it, it felt like it was very clearly pushing to be a massive cryfest which isn't what I was going for. But I know a lot of people who love Your Lie in April

I dont mind shows that want to make you cry or w/e i just couldn't get invested in the characters at all

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:28 PM anime

I had the same feeling with Anohana where it's like eehh not for me

Dialga Aug 22, 2025 6:28 PM anime

i really like anohana

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:31 PM anime

i love a good cryfest show. anything that makes you feel strong emotions is always special. white album 2, silent voice, toradora, angel beats, charlotte, plastic memories, anohana, probably alot more

Dialga Aug 22, 2025 6:32 PM anime

clannad

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:32 PM anime

all my top shows

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:32 PM anime

clannad yes

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:32 PM anime

Hmm, I like half of those. Silent Voice, Angel Beats, Charlotte and Plastic Memories

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:33 PM anime

I have no idea what separates them apart from one another. I think maybe I didn't anticipate Charlotte of Silent Voice being a cryfest, and it was just a real show that turned sad.

mint Aug 22, 2025 6:36 PM anime

yeah. those very standard movie ones, you go in knowing its gonna be like that. the charlotte angle beats ones, whoever that guy is, those are subtle

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 6:37 PM anime

Is that the guy who did the day I became God

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:37 PM anime

Charlotte is yeah

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 6:37 PM anime

because if so god he is a hack

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:37 PM anime

Maybe it's the lack of subtlety in Your Lie in April

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:38 PM anime

When there's a scene of the blonde girl crying at the end of every episode

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 6:38 PM anime

I don't like "be sad this is sad so be sad" shows

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 6:38 PM anime

its lazy

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:39 PM anime

Similarly, I get bothered by Del Toro's recent films that are very basic and have zero subtlety on who's good and bad. Like, La espada del diablo is up there as one of my favorite movies

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:40 PM anime

I'm also not deadset on that cuz then I'll watch the first Iron Man and think "fuck yeah let's go tony stark"

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 6:42 PM anime

It does not need to be morally grey, but it hamfisting how you should react emotionally is what gets me

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:42 PM anime

That's probably a better description for me too

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:59 PM anime

Silent Witch episode 8 is great

Kribbles Aug 22, 2025 6:59 PM anime

Excited for episode 9

Phijkchu_Pikachu Aug 22, 2025 7:04 PM anime

I need to sit down and decide how I feel about the shows I am watching

the animation and art budget fell off a cliff, but I won't care if he fucks the elf

Dialga Aug 22, 2025 7:49 PM anime

Unironically spooky what is going wrong in that production studio

Garbage Aug 22, 2025 7:49 PM anime

One episode had some of the worst looking backgrounds i've seen in a c list show

Spooky Phijkchu Aug 22, 2025 7:50 PM anime

idk, E1 and E2 were so insanely high quality, then it dropped to shitter seasonal show budget, and even with that it's had delays and whole sections of static jpgs standing in a line "fighting"

Garbage Aug 22, 2025 7:50 PM anime

Monica says right in front of Casey that she's a seven sage, then 5 seconds later Casey asks how she is doing magecraft
