BlakexEkalb said: I mean, it's close, but I don't think it's quite manly enough. Even if we consider Vinland Saga a manime, that''s only 1 anime. Sadly, manime just isn't popular anymore. I guess my point here is that it'd be nice if we got at least 1 manime per season, rather than being lucky to get one a year.Isn't Vinland Saga a "manime"? It came out this season. |

| In recent memory we have Souten no Ken, the recent Baki series, Megalo Box, and Ushio to Tora. They were a thing of the 80s. Unfortunately like mecha, it seems that means they're a thing of the past. |

HisokaxMeruem said: I plan on watching Baki, thanks for the suggestion :)well, people arent interested, I wouldnt watch it either, because honestly, the romcom, isekai and hero shounens are entertaining enough Edit: you could also give baki a try, thats pretty much what u would want |

| You can also try Hinomaru Sumo. It's all about muscular men doing muscular things. |
 |
| meh, its not really a genre that can have a diverse amount of titles that would be very interesting, so i think all the ones we have are good enough. |
carseatheadrest said: I think it can be plenty diverse. It can be sci-fi, fantasy, martial arts, sports, almost anything. The only real rule here is that it's manly men doing manly manly things. At the very least, some reboots of older manime would be nice, since a lot of the animation is very dated.meh, its not really a genre that can have a diverse amount of titles that would be very interesting, so i think all the ones we have are good enough. |

| Trends come and go and right now isekai harems are what's in. Overall I would like for anime to be more diverse in general because seasonal shows can feel super same-y. Also you should watch kinnikuman which is manine comedy about pro wrestling that I watched as a kid. |
Silverchariot89 said: I agree. Imagine how great it would be if we got new mystery, shounen, Slice of Life, horror, isekai, manime, and every other genre every season? I'd have so much to watch!

| What do you mean you miss jojo, isnt it airing right now? |
| We can only hope trends will cycle back again. Anime tends to be all about jumping on the train of whatever was most recently popular, so all you need is one big hit and then you get like 10 copy cats trying to squeeze every last yen from a concept. That said, I don't think the spirit of the 80s and 90s gratuitous violence and muscle anime will ever really return as anything more than homages. Not only do cultures change, but audiences do as well. Anime right now is gonna be geared toward an entirely different generation of people who didn't even exist when stuff like this was popular. |
| It's not my cup of tea but I need more of Katsuragi Keima or a main male mc who at least knows what to do when push comes to shove. |
| I miss mecha anime more, but I'll take my action anime anyway I can get it. |
simonephone said: What do you mean you miss jojo, isnt it airing right now? I think he means he misses jojo having buff dudes. After part 3, they’re replaced with metrosexuals. |
  |
| Do these mach up to what you are referring to. If so than I don't feel like there are fewer of them, but just enough. Definitely: Terra Formars Zetman Maybe: Megalo Box Golden Kamuy Hinomaruzumou |
 |
| The currently airing Dumbbell anime has macho men. Or I guess macho man since it's mostly one. But hey it's something. There's All Out as well, though idk might not quite be a manime. there's always bara manga for muscular men heh |
 |
| Do you know Sakigake Otokojuku? The series has some issues, but maybe it's still to your liking, since it has a very similar style as Hokuto no Ken. |
| So GAR i guess. Not big fan, overly masculine stuff just don't hit me, the mindsets and motivations of the characters have are bit hard to understand. I don't usually like many of the GAR classics and think they are bit overrated. But i guess i would take it over isekai boom. |
| Yes and anime with the amount of strong adult material qualified to fit in with the R rating is so difficult to come by. When will Japan ever learn that enough is enough? that is, enough with the kiddy s**t! I think that I'll be reading Hellboy comics instead, which has the adult material needed to satisfy men. |

Oh true idk why that wasnt obvious to me lol. 2ego said: Honestly it annoys me to see threads like this when made by people that haven't watched even most of the "manime," first watch them, and then make threads like this. Same tho, it's not like older shows just disappear. Nobody's forcing you to watch seasonals and this forum usually has a good bit of discussion for older shows as long as they're not completely obscure. |

I agree we need more manliness instead of this boyish high-school decent looking suppose average guys.  |
| How has no one yet mentioned Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? Also, sometimes there's stuff that doesn't have the GAR aesthetic but may still be relevant. For example, it might be surprising given the following is a harem series (with a set of female characters wielding legendary superpowered weapons, no less), but my favorite character in Lord Marksman and Vanadis is the protag, Lord Tigrevurmud Vorn, who proves himself to be very capable, skilled, clever, and intelligent. That said, if you're specifically interested in the aesthetic, this isn't what you're looking for. |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Like some here have already stated, "Hinomaruzumou" is definitely what you're looking for. Dauphine said: Ewww, no!!! Big, hulking, muscular baras are not what i want to see in anime! Good riddance! I personally hope this trend never comes back!!! I'm generally not into muscular bara stuff either, but Hinomaruzumou has a couple of hot guys in it, like Sada. |
 |
| I'm not into full on gar, but I would prefer more mature anime with older characters and intricate themes. Well, times change. Trends and tropes come and go. It's just natural. We are in the height of moe, otaku pandering wish fulfillment, and pubescent beta male cucks. One day that'll change as well. Hopefully. |
 |
| Most girls aren't really into the big hulking mass of muscle and they seem to prefer more lean and toned male characters, like the guys from Free or Kuroko. These types of characters still exist, but we're pretty much past the point where anime with casts mainly full of these types are a common thing. |
My Queens  |
| Have you even watched recent anime like Garo or Megalo Box or Baki? They are all some of the most manly testosterone anime to come out in years. |
 |
| I don't miss "Manime" since the "manly" shows are almost all lacking in cute girls. I find watching adorable nekos flash their pantsu to be more manly than muscly dudes grunting at eachother. Also, "Manime" sounds super fruity. |
 |
| The term 'manime' makes me cringe. Where I come from we simply call it GAR and it's about more than just being a musclehead. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Gross,No,those animes have some of the ugliest body built, like jojo |

Nobody's forcing you to watch seasonals and this forum usually has a good bit of discussion for older shows as long as they're not completely obscure. There's an insane amount of old amazing shows, and I don't think that I'll ever run out of them. It's unfortunate to see people complain about seasonals, as if they've seen every old good anime. I know right? It's so easy to find any anime in high quality online these days. Its like some people only watch anime now to be part of the current discussion, instead of actually trying to seek out things that they'll like. |
| well you got JoJos (at least the early jojos - the characters get more androgynous with each part) theres also baki the grappler cant think of any other recent ones off the top of my head. |

| Sorry, but I don’t miss seeing buff dudes or manime. I prefer bishonens. If anything, jojo’s artstyle made me avoid that anime for a long while. (Jotaro, Jonathan, and Joseph are 2gar4me). Bishonens/Ikemen >>>> Gar. Dauphine said: Ewww, no!!! Big, hulking, muscular baras are not what i want to see in anime! Good riddance! I personally hope this trend never comes back!!! This.

Polnareff, Joseph, Okuyasu, and Narancia are cute girls stuck in a man’s body. In terms of personality, they’re moe as fuck. |

A shame honestly I love the genre |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Golden Kamuy is probably up your alley then. It's 2 seasons with a 3rd on the way. "Manime" is kind of hit or miss. I like the violent bloody hack and slash stuff and gritty shoot 'em Ups but I'm not really a fan of things like that are just there to parade around bare chested man meat as the main attraction. |
