Among friends who got into anime in the early 90s and fucking stuck around through the mid-2000s, there were always a few titles that seemed to pop up everywhere. Shit that aired on TV, dumped in the theaters, or even got passed around on VHS bootlegs.

During the holiday season, a few of my close friends were all hanging out in my mancave while we were drinking beers and playing a few games of poker. When one friend suddenly went on a fucking half-drunk, “based” rant about anime. He claimed that anyone who got into this shit in the early 90s and wasn’t hardcore fans of certain franchises, that they were all just “uncultured fucks!” (He was obviously fucking joking). Then he started blurting out a shitload of random fucking titles (probably like a list of over 50 lol). I laughed so fucking hard I almost sprayed my beer everywhere. lol

I found this statement kind of amusing considering they threw out over two dozen titles that weren't even actually officially available in the west at the time, unless one was extremely plugged into the western VHS bootleg scene between the early 90s to the early 2000s. lol



But there was still a consensus. We all pretty much agreed if someone hadn't watched shit like "Dirty Pair", "Bubblegum Crisis", "Slayers", "Project A-Ko", "Initial D", The original "Hellsing", "Ikkitousen", "Najica Blitz Tactics", "Agent AIKa", "Kiddy Grade", etc... at least a few times, they would be considered a total outsider in our circle. lol

TL;DR: Just to make shit inclusive for those without a real-life crew... what fucking anime do you find most common among your friends, either IRL or online? Shit that is constantly talked about, rewatched, and obsessed over.

I first thought this is about which anime has most in common with my friends group, in which case I would have answered Grand Blue.

Wait you guys have frined groups?


Jokes aside if I were to imagine such a hypothetical group of friends which I don't have, and don't really care to have the essentials would provably be shit like Code Gayass, Fate shit and Hellsing og and Ultimate

my group is limited to death note, naruto, bleach, fma. One thing we have in common is that we can express and talk about our justice unlike the internet where you only find L and police defenders who never left their neighborhood and their only argument is "killing is wrong"

I'll take "Things that never happened" for $300.

you already use swears like a 12-year-old, now you claim you have a "mancave" and that you are chugging beers with your buddies. who are you trying to impress?

Despite your sad projection and tone-policing attempt, I’m obviously not here to fucking impress you. lol

If the shit helps you engage better with the premise... Just fucking pretend I am some teenage brat hanging out in my mother's basement during the holiday season and invited a few of my 50-year-old college buddies over to play Chutes and Ladders while we were all drinking shit like apple juice instead. lol

Oh, me and my pirate crew all love stuff like Tailenders and 18if. When we are not out pillaging, setting fire to a local noble's castle or getting scurvy, we sit on our ship in the middle of the sea playing russian roulette with a flintlock pistol and laugh about people doing a weird tough guy act on an anime forum. My real entourage of 4-5 very real conventionally attractive eyepatch-wearing women always love that one.

How much bad anime do you people watch?

Nobody should watch the first hellsing anime lmao. And I only liked Ikkitousen because I'm a pee loving pervert.

Is that normal in your friend group

Not really a specific one I can think of since they are more of TTRPG and gaming nerds.
But with one of my best friends, I have Natsume Yuujinchou and Ghibli movies in common and she doesn't even watch much anime.

Guess most of them know Dungeon Meshi too.
