The anime is Madoka Magika. I recommend watching up to the 3rd/4th chapter without spoilers, then decide if you want to continue watching it.
The joke (spoilers)
The studio advertised it as a generic slice of life magical girl show, and when it was leaked that its writer was Gen Urobuchi, who was known for his horror stories, they tried to do "damage control" by claiming that he was trying to get into new genres and styles. The show does indeed turn pretty dark fairly soon, and you should definitely not watch it if you need something mild. In any case, it's top stuff and I recommend it.Thank you for your reply and thank you for hiding the spoilers.
All joking aside, please go and watch it immediately without looking up anything else about it. It's genuinely one of the best shows you will ever watch, I'm not even slightly exaggerating here, and it's soooo much better if you can go in blind.
If I had a men in black memory zapper I would erase the entirety of this show from my memory and leave myself a Memento style note to go watch it again, just so I could relive that experience.
Thanks
Hi, elderly rookie anime-liker here: the version on Crunchyroll is a side-story from 2020. Do you perhaps know where I can watch the 2011 version?
And perhaps a bit forward, but do you have some reccomendations for me?
I watched and liked (order of watchdate):
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Steins Gate Demonslayer (started with mugen train movie with my daugter, binged back and following) Chainsaw Man One Punch Man Mushi-shi Made in Abyss Way of the househusband Jujutsu Kaisen and while not anime per se Blue Eye Samurai (binged this weekend with husband and daughter)
And I recently watched Suzume wich made me cry.
thanks in advance!
(sorry for typos, cat really wants to sit on the keyboard.)
Hey. If you want you can also ask in !anime@lemmy.ml
If you want to find where to watch check this meta list FREE MEDIA HECK YEAH Click on one with the star. Use ad block like "ublock origin" for better watching experience.
For films I reccomend "your name" "spirited away" "princess mononoke" "howls moving castle" "my neighbour totoro" "akira" "ghost in the shell"
For TV shows I reccomend:
Depending on your tolerance on sexual themes "mushoku tensei". The main character has perversion as a major character trait and behaves acordingly. It is off putting for majority of people but defienetely worth a watch for experienced anime weeb.
Thanks for the list.
I got Studio Ghibli and Akira already covered, will check how weebie really I am.
I second Ludrol as for where to watch it. But if you don't want to resort to piracy, I think you can also watch the show on Netflix.
I haven't watched that much anime, but if I had to make a top 3, it'd be FMA:B, Madoka, and Code Geass.
Code Geass makes me feral in the best way
Code Geass looks nice broody and gothic.
It's western animation, but I just finished Pantheon and thought it was an absolute blast.
Gurren Lagann if you like it truly over the top
Code Geass I want to call another mecha anime, but it's so much more than that.
Samurai Champloo
Cowboy Bebop
Tower of God
Silent Voice, if you want to cry more
Mob Psycho 100
The Tatami Galaxy
Parasyte (same vein as Chainsaw Man)
Thank you, Parasyte is in my soon-to-watch-list.
It's a good one! The music is amazing too
Is it Parasyte: the Maxim? Sometimes I get lost in the spin-offs (FMA Brotherhood, FuliCuli). Netfix streams this in my regio.
Yes it is, sorry I actually forgot about the Maxim part
Thanks! Going to check it out now.
