Another weekly general thread! I know everybody has this time of the week set aside as their favorite, so here it is. Like usual, feel free to use this thread for any kind of anime/anime-adjacent topics you might want to discuss.

Recommend anime based on my list
MAL: https://myanimelist.net/profile/mo_lave
I do have a backlog of PTW, but surprise me with some recs and it might skip the line.
You’ve watched quite a bit of anime, so we have a fair amount of overlaps. Unlike me, you are more generous when scoring (no 1s and 2s!) and you have a more diverse taste in anime.
As such, I won’t be able to recommend anime based on a particular theme / genre - unless you have something in mind?
I’ll just point out my favourites that are not in your completed list, though I won’t be surprised if some of them are already in your PTW list.
- KonoSuba
- Saiki K
- Cells at Work!
- Cautious Hero
- The Demon Girl Next Door
- 86
- The Apothecary Diaries
- The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - looks like you don’t watch any harem anime; you may want to skip this
- Cherry Magic! - looks like you don’t watch any yaoi anime; you may want to skip this
- Gushing over Magical Girls - looks like you don’t watch any ecchi anime; you may want to skip this
P.S.
Not among my top favourites at the moment, but worth adding to your PTW list if you haven’t done so already IMO; I should have filtered out those that you’ve completed:
Oh yeah, DanMeshi and Apothecary Diaries are indeed in my PTW.
Gushing over Magical Girls - looks like you don’t watch any ecchi anime; you may want to skip this
Good ecchi is hard to come by, and I consider Frieren ecchi (hot take, yes - it’s one of the best in that regard), so you get the idea where my standards are lol.
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You
I might watch it alongside Makeine, which of them should I start first?
I might watch it alongside Makeine, which of them should I start first?
They are quite different, so it’s really up to you.
I find that Makeine is very similar to Makoto Shinkai’s works in terms of art style, soundtracks and humour.
I would say the most similar anime to 100 Girlfriends is Gintama, though season 1 is really just a preview of the bullshit to come.
