I want some anime friends! :D

Welcome to MyAnimeList! Enjoy your stay :)

I'm doing good, thank you. I've been into romance a lot and next year will be great for a lot of sequels, so I'm looking forward to Angel Next Door S2 the most. Which sequels are you looking forward to next year?

Good intro buddy! Glad to have you back on MAL! Been watching a lot of old school anime as of late. Welcome welcome and I hope you enjoy your time on the forums going forward! 😁

@RaiYou Awesome! Thanks for responding :D

I haven't seen Angel Next Door, what's it about?

I'm very excited for Delicious in Dungeon S2, Ramen Akaneko S2, Skip and Loafer S2! Have you seen any of them?

Another one I'm excited for is Witch Hat Atelier which was originally planned for this year, but it got delayed until 2026.

It will be an amazing year for anime so I'm very excited!

Hi Carson! Thanks for writing to me!!

That's super cool, is there any Kyoto Animation series you would recommend me? I'm not sure if I've seen any, and I think it would be cool to try it!

I looked at your profile and I think your taste is really cool! Especially Jojo's and HxH.

Which animes are you the most excited for next season? :D

@Retro8bit Thanks for the warm welcome!

Old school anime is awesome!!! Which are your favorites?

I watched and loved Cowboy Bebop, Original Dragon Ball and Gundam 1979.

I hear that Legend of the Galactic Heroes is very good and would love to give it a shot when I get a little more time.

@petvma You can read the synopsis, it's a simple sweet romance that gives you nothing but full of "diabetes" - and it's a good show to watch and relax especially when you don't like BS love-triangle, cheap drama or heavy fanservice. I don't know if you like romance though!


I haven't seen them either. 😅

@petvma Depends on your taste, all of my favorite Kyoto Animation animes don't include any action and I know some people don't enjoy that. Either way Sound! Euphonium and Haruhi Suzumiya are fantastic, and I think everyone should at least give them a shot.

Thanks though, JoJo's is awesome I can't wait for Steel Ball Run. I woke up at 5 am for the JoJo Day event when they revealed it, it was so worth it. And HxH will forever be one of my favorite battle shonen, it's so well written and I absolutely love the power system. I'm working on a D&D campaign in the HxH world.

Next season, I am most looking forward to Oshi No Ko season 3, mainly because it's my favorite manga. But other than that, Hells Paradise manga was great so I am excited for season 2. Frieren and JJK will also be really good I bet.

What about you!?

@carsonxl I'll look into them! I just finished Demon Slayer S1 yesterday, so I'm in need of a new series, and I have heard many good things about Kyoto Animation as a studio over the years. I went to their website and was surprised to see so many works, it seems like you have a long journey ahead of you!

That's cool! I didn't watch the Jojo's event last time but I remember being at the beach in 2021 when they announced the Stone Ocean anime, it was so hype. I really hope that they don't do the same release schedule though. Imagine they bring back Jojo Fridays for Steel Ball Run, the series would enter a new stage of popularity.

I've actually been reading the Jojo manga for the first time (I just finished part 1) and it's been pretty fun to refresh my knowledge on the earlier parts. I'm planning to make my way up to part 7 before the anime is released!

I have heard some talk about Oshi No Ko, it's an idol anime right? What do you like about it? Do you think it's a worthy introduction to the genre? I've never seen an idol anime, lol.

JJK will be great, I hope! I had fun with season 2 and the movie releases tomorrow! Although I have no plans to see it yet (probably will wait for it to be on streaming). Hells Paradise and Frieren I haven't seen yet, but I know I probably should.

Thanks for writing to me, Carson!

Hi! Welcome to the forums! :) Enjoy your stay. :)

I'm doing quite well, thanks. I hope you are having a great day!

I have been watching some seasonal anime. Ganso! Bandori-chan and Watashi wo Tabetai and Hitodenashi are probably my favorites this season.

Nowadays I'm also re-watching a lot of older anime simply because sometimes I find it hard to find interesting new shows.

Hello, nice to meet you!
Currently watching and rewatching some slice of life shows for the most part :)

@petvma

Kyoto Animation is awesome, every anime I've seen from them has had so much love put into it that I decided I wanted to watch them all. I also do better with things when I have a goal, so telling myself I am going to watch all of them makes it easier for me to actually do it.

Enjoy Demon Slayer! I remember watching the first season when it came out, and loving the characters. Honestly nowadays I see it as just a fun anime, with amazing animation and bad ass fights.

I wish I was there for Stone Ocean announcement. I got into JoJo's when Stone Ocean had already released the first batch, but I was caught up in time for batch 2 and 3. I REALLY hope that they change the release schedule back to weekly. I watch a lot of seasonals and very much enjoy watching anime weekly. It gives me more time to enjoy the anime I love, and everyone discusses it on social media each week. Something JoJo never got for Stone Ocean. I hope you enjoy reading the manga as well! I didn't read through parts 1-6, I just started off at SBR. I have read parts 7, 8 and caught up on 9 as well though. In my opinion Araki has taken the series to even greater heights, and I can't wait to see how part 9 ends.

Oshi No Ko is technically an idol anime, but the idol bits are not exactly why I love it. ONK dives deep into the dark parts of the Idol industry in Japan, and the manga especially tries to explain how everything works, good and bad. The supernatural elements of the story keep it fresh and entertaining, and I love the cast of characters. Not to mention, Mengo Yokoyari, the artist for the manga has my favorite artwork of any mangaka. The first volume, and subsequently the first episode of the series (it adapts the entire first volume) is very different than the rest of the anime/manga. So if you do watch it, make sure to watch at least 3 episodes before you decide to drop it or not.

I am probably going to wait to stream the JJK movie as well. I don't have anyone to watch it with at university, and I don't really like going to the theaters alone lol. Hell's Paradise is awesome, check it out! Frieren is great too, I think it's a little over-hyped (don't cook me) but still worth watching. Definitely some of the best fantasy I've seen in anime that isn't isekai, which is something we need more of.

Thanks for the discussion! Happy to talk more in private messages if you don't want to fill up this introduction forum!

Good evening again lol since you're back, I hope you're doing well. Personally, I don't really know what to watch at the moment, but I'm planning to see the Chainsaw Man move on Saturday, I can't wait to see it.

@MeguSae38 Hellooooooooo

That's awesome! What are some of your favorites?

I love Way of the Househusband (manga), Hirayasumi (manga) and Natsume Yuujinchou (anime) although I'm not sure if the last one counts. Have you seen any of them?

Thanks for replying. :)


I'm a huge fan of yokai-themed anime, like Natsume Yuujinchou, Mokke, Fukigen na Mononokean, etc. Watashi wo Tabetai, Hitodenashi also falls into this category. I find the story quite entertaining. Give it a try if you like yokai, mysteries and some dark stuff. It has some quite depressing and sad moments.

Well, the last 16 shows were these:

So, mostly CGDCT, Slice of Life, and Fantasy anime.

I'm also watching Campfire Cooking in Another World S2. I think the new season has been as good as the first one. :)

Well, it's 6.03 a.m in Finland at the moment, so I just woke up and fed my cats. Gonna play some video games next (Turtle WoW and Diablo II). Later in the afternoon I'll meet my friends and have some fun with them.

Do you have any plans for the weekend? :) Anyway, have a nice day, buddy!

@petvma

A few of my favorites slice of life shows: Himouto! Umaru-chan, Non Non Biyori, Flying Witch, Restaurant to Another World, Is the Order a Rabbit?, Asteroid in Love, The Demon Girl Next Door, Ms. Vampire who lives in my neighborhood.
Hope the list is not too long, haha.
Some of them are not tagged 'slice of life' but only 'cgdct', which I personally consider a subcategory of slice of life.

I remember almost picking up the manga Way of the Househusband a couple of years back, looks fun, I've seen a few pages of it.
I heard about Natsume Yuujinchou but didn't get to it yet.
I didn't know about the other one.
All three look pretty neat in any case :)

@MeguSae38

I unfortunately haven't seen any of them but I was really interested in watching Flying Witch! Is it recommended?



To me it's hard to differentiate the two, since couldn't any SoL anime with a girl cast be considered CGDCT? HAHAHA it's a little confusing!



It's super fun! I was able to collect some physical volumes in Argentina, which is rare since I don't have a lot. So that's saying something that I decided to add this to my collection!



I think you would really like it! It's SoL with yokai, and has an episodic format (so it's harder to binge but nice to have as a background to your life for a couple months). Also, it's got 7 seasons and a few specials, so you have plenty of time to connect with all the characters (and there are A LOT).

I plan to read the manga when I get the chance :)

How is your day going?

Good intro buddy! Glad to have you back on MAL! Been watching a lot of old school anime as of late. Welcome welcome and I hope you enjoy your time on the forums going forward! 😁
