| Evangelion: "the importance of self-affirmation and of creating your own value in an objectively meaningless existence. Hideaki Anno was depressed at the time of conceiving and directing Eva. The last episode can be understood as a realisation of ones self worth and how one can arrive at self worth in an existence which does not in itself have meaning." Many themes are explored, but here is one. You could talk about how it explores many issues humans can face as each character represents at least 1 or 2, that or u haven't watched the show :/ I didn't check before answering the question. Similar message explained could be taken from Tatami Galaxy? There are a lot of anime talking about finding your self worth etc. |
| Brace yourself. Soon as LotGH 2017 comes out. The anime community is going to become so cancerous you will need to take cover and hide. |
| Kuuchuu Buranko It's short (11 episodes) so you can finish it in 1 sitting. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| You mean something that was made with a social or political agenda? Off the top of my head: Serial Experiments Lain - Disassociation created by a multitude of "selves" developed through the internet Haibane Renmei - Faith and forgiveness of the self Metropolis - Dichotomy of humans and robots, the hierarchy created by introducing robots to society, worker's revolution Humanity Has Declined/Kino's Journey - Pick and choose any episode, there's a bunch that's presented and examined at a topical level. They range from social criticisms to shots at popular culture Eden of the East - Disillusionment of Japanese youth and the reconstruction of social structures in post-war Japan |
| Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin - Greatly talks about how important friends are, not like in a shounen when friends give them power. |
when ur about to have a refreshing sip of earl grey tea and someone says "traps are gay" |
| Hellsing ultimate "I have come to believe that these fightening immortals are in fact, frail, sobbing, children." "Demons dont cry" Basically it means that their is no such thing as evil, only pain and sadness. |
 The peasant is bound by the king. The king is bound by the peasants and their kingdom. But the Viking is bound to nothing but themselves. |
| the most common i've come across is to never, EVER kill yourself. this is shown in colorful, death parade, code breaker, and many others. |
 |
| Most anime serves to defile the viewer. So you could talk about how blasphemous the industry is, and how its deceived you into turning your back on our Father in heaven. |
| Mars of Destruction = Humans are the true enemies for Earth |

| Relationships in high school, especially romantic, will stick with you for the rest of your life. |
| yosuga no sora school days kodomo no jikan aki sora sakura trick all these anime have very good messages and extremely mature themes |
 |
| This may be just me, but I definitely saw a meaningful message from Sakurasou, that is, work your hardest and you will fail sometimes in life, but you have to learn to get back up and try again - until you reached your goal. IIRC, Shiina asked Sorata; "What colour he was" (at the beginning of the series). I believe he responded with "white" or something plain. Then, near the end, Sorata stated that he was "full of colours". Correct me if I'm wrong... |

Idk why but I'm stumped Do you mean to ask about messages that are very common in anime (like the message from Sakurasou, above - a staple message for anime), or do you mean to ask about impressive anime with unusual messages? A lot of people answer to the second option, but if we're talking about socializing, it's the first kind of messages that are likely to brainwash you. |
| I don't think these anime convey a message, but they explore the topics: Mushishi is about how nature is odd, unpredictable and neither benevolent nor hostile. It just exists Future Diary is, among other things, about whether or not we can actually change the future. Notice how some characters give up and some try to hard their fate. |

| Slice of life teach you many things. 1.Toradora; kawashima vs taiga. Appearances deceive everything, sometimes you may prefer someone with cute looks without knowing his/her true self than honest, shaped tongue people that show his/her true color. 2.Yahari Ore no ... New perspective, different way of thinking for err... well never think that way. |

You can get some good messages out of Date A Live and Kill la Kill too, probably some others. |

In the "you don't have to try too hard for a school assignment" sense. You can easily wax poetry about how the first three taught you to be a better person. And you can easily hammer a feel-good message that will get praised by teachers out of the last two. Something about love and peace from Date a Live, and I haven't watched Kill La Kill, but there was a thread here recently about KLK and its messages. |
