Looking for action/adventure animes with a good/serious plot, a bit of romance, and optionally a dash of comedy.
| Hey guys! So, I've watched a lot of anime series lately, and I found myself struggling to find more good ones - Probably because my expectations are quite high (Weirdly, I like a lot of animes that are apparently considered as rather bad, so I guess it's less of me having high expecations, and more of me having a lot of expectations (Like, seriously. A lot). Did that make sense in english?). I'd be super grateful if any of you could suggest me something even though I'm pretty picky, I guess xD! As the title says, the genre should primarly be action or/and adventure, and it'd be awesome if it could also contain a bit of romance (I prefer the happy kind. And I don't like harem at all). Comedy can also be contained, but there shouldn't be too much of it. I don't have anything against Slice of Life animes, either - But then they need to be really good to keep a guy who's mainly interested in action like me hooked. Also, I don't think that I mind "sad" animes as long as they more or less have a happy ending. But those last two things are just really small factors, and don't have to be considered at all. About ecchi stuff: I honestly really don't like it. At least the super-cringy and stupid moments like "oops I accidentally grabbed your boobs omg I'm so sorry but I'm still stuck here for 999hours". Romantic-relation related ecchi moments are OK I guess. It would also be nice if the plot isn't just some superficial 0815 thing, but actually goes a bit "deeper" than that (Like, it'd be nice if the anime had some good backstory. Not *only* mindless action. No idea if you guys understand what I mean <.<). Don't get me wrong, though: I don't have anything against some "clichées" or even overused concepts like "MC lands in another world.", "Apocalyptic world with monsters and a few humans", or whatever, any "age" (Middle-age or whatever) and "world" is fine, really, as long as the story is good. (I have to say that I don't really like Mecha/Space-type animes. I don't know why, but those just don't hook me that much.) Also, I guess I have to say that I'm really picky about art-styles (Which is a shame, since I'm apparently missing out on a lot of good animes because of that.) Art-styles I don't like are those "flat" and "old" looking ones (No offense to anyone who likes them or doesn't like my description of them xD! I don't mean any offense, seriously.), like the one from "One Piece", "Death Note", "Great Teacher Onizuka", "Hunter x Hunter", and some more. I don't know why some kind of art-styles annoy me, but I've often dropped an anime in the first 10 seconds just because of that. Sorry x Anyway, since I really suck at explaining (Sorry guys :( ) I'll just post a list of anime that I really enjoyed watching :D (And one of the anime I didn't enjoy)! The list will be sorted by how much I like them, starting with those I liked the most (Although that list won't be extremely accurate, as it is really hard for me to compare some animes. Generelly though, it can be said that I liked the anime at the top of the list more than one in the middle :P But I like all of the ones on the list.). Maybe that list can actually be helpful to someone who also has similar criterias to mine, lol. Edit: That list can be ignored, I think that I've updated my MAL list completely now.
Now the list of those I didn't really like, or dropped.
Sooo, yeaaah, I know that I really have a lot of expectations and stuff but I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me find another great anime to watch, because I somehow feel like I've really exhausted the animes in that kind of genre <.<... I hope the list helps somewhat xD! Thank you so much, - |

| how about katanagatari (its ab it dialogue driven, awesome adventure. has also romance but it is a bit of a tear jerker also... Has 1 of the best last episodes I have seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zONevQyxRGM (opening) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzJNYSwn0xA ( a review) how about hunter x hunter 2011 (you just wrote hunter x hunter so i expect you have tried to old 1, instead the 1 who madhouse did... and they did a a great 1, first 4 eps look rly childish btw) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZoXzNmD1ag (amv so you can imagine how it looks later) if you want something really mature and dont mind, that the first 2 eps are an intro try fate zero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9erufX1zeY (amv)... the art style is sick...) magi the labyrinth of magic + magi the kingdom of magic (if you want something like noragami i think this 1 is good. also the world is rly cool= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9erufX1zeY (opening) has also a spinoff airing now Magi:Sinbad No Bouken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipbSQpI2IzM (opening) |
| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| try Binbougami ga! and Gintama it can be really funny at a time, and really serious at another time  |
 |
| "I've watched a lot of anime series lately" doesn't mesh with two completed series in your list. I suggest Baccano! or NHK ni Youkoso!. |
| @Smooki Thanks for the suggestions! I'll take a look at them! @Zurajannai I've heard a lot about Gintama, but it always seemed a bit too... comedic to me? Kind of hard to explain what I mean. I guess I should just try to watch the first episode! @SeijiSensei My myanimelist list isn't updated, like, at all. The animes I've watched are in the post above ^^ (I actually didn't even think about using the MAL List for this purpose. Guess I should have done that.) I'll try those, thanks! |

I guess I should just try to watch the first episode! lol the first 2 episode is when the characters already know each other, so you'll get confused as I was about "who is this?", "what are they doing?", "why are they doing that?", etc. episode 3 is when the "real" start of the story. seriously, Gintama can make you cry like a lil' bitch when it's on "serious" arc, and make you laugh so hard when it's on "comedy" arc. But yeah, I got to say, it got more "comedy" arc than the "serious" arc. I'd say it's about 60~70:30~40 |

Ok, as I said in my last post, my MAL List wasn't updated - Now it *should* be, though. I hope that I didn't forget any animes. I've also just binge-watched The Devil is a Part-Timer - I really liked it, but it wasn't really what I am looking for, since it did contain a lot of comedy (It was still really good, though. A little like Noragami.) |

| I just binge-watched Ao no Exorcist, and found it to be really great (At least the first half): It's a little bit like FMA:B in some ways. Some slightly "tragic" "backstory" and some slight "conspiracy" going on, powerful characters but powerful enemies as well, etcetera... FMA:B was better in every aspect though. Man, I'd love to find another such anime :D I've started watching "NHK ni Youkoso!", but after two or three episodes I thought that it was a little too boring and had a little too many "cringe"-moments I don't really feel like watching Baccano! or Fate/Zero (It says that it's basically anime hungergames, and I don't feel like seeing all the characters die right now), but I'll DEFINITELY check them out in a few weeks. I know that probably no one could care less about all of this, but I'd really love some more suggestions :D!! |

| Inuyasha+Inuyasha the Final Act The Legend of Condor Hero(there Isn't a lot of action in this, but the action there is, is top notch) and The Legend of Qin/Qin's Moon |
| . |
| @Zoltor Thank you, I'll take a look at these! More suggestions are also welcome :) PS: The list in my first post can be ignored, I think that I managed to update my MAL list completely. |

srmonda said: zero no tsukaima is one of my favorites, the only problem that I found is the ecchi So, I just binge-watched the first season, and you were right with both of your points - It was quite nice, but also quite a lot of ecchi <.< Weirdly, it didn't annoy me as much as in other shows though. Probably because it was more of a comedy than a "serious adventure/action anime", but still. More suggetions are welcome :D! |
|
| Seirei no Moribito Monster Hyouge Mono Saiunkoku Monogatari Sarai-ya Goyou ("House of Five Leaves") Oh! Edo Rocket (lot of comedy but underneath a serious satire on political and artistic repression) All of these are set in historical periods, though Monster takes place right after the fall of the Berlin Wall. |
