I haven't seen the Dorohedoro anime, but a lot of what I like about the manga is the lineart, made from these really thin lines that allow for a tone of scratchiness and detail at the same time, and I don't really see that in the anime (what with it being a CG show, albeit a good looking one in its own right.) Unlike a lot of obviously truncated manga adaptations it does interest me somewhat but yeah I can't speak for its quality.

I'm also not super familiar with older anime outside of stuff like Gundam and a few movies, like, I haven't seen dragon ball or fist of the north star or anything, but yeah CCS is pretty much universally adored. If you end up liking it Ojamajo Doremi is another long running magical girl show that is firmly for the shoujo demographic but has an emotionally mature nature to its episodic storyline, and is also a favorite of just about everyone who's seen it. It's also like 200 episodes long in total, though, so theres that, and the production is... stretched thin, we'll say, compared to CCS.

Odd Taxi has been on my radar for a hot minute, I'll peep that one for sure. 86 I was planning on reading, either in light novel or manga form since both are getting printed in English, unless the anime specifically is really well produced or something. Romcom manga aren't typically super my speed, or rather I haven't really experienced a whole lot of them. I do love more dramatic romances in the vein of Clannad or the Nasuverse stuff, or the Takahashi Rumiko-style of borderline-gag manga with a romantic thread. That said I'll give Machida-kun a look for sure :D

You're in for a treat with Berserk. It's about as far from sugary=sweet as you can get, but it does have a consistent heart to it underlying the brutality, and both those aspects enhance the other. I'll cut myself off, because I could easily gush about Berserk for thousands of words (heck, I have on the blog lol) but yeah. Enjoy it!

Oh boy, for recommendations? Flicking through your PTW, I can say Gankutsuou, Hellsing Ultimate and ESPECIALLY Kara no Kyoukai are all must watches IMO. Also, my stock recommendation (especially for a fellow Evangelion appreciator) is Betterman. And GaoGaiGar, which it's a stealth spin-off to (don't worry, that's not a spoiler) but Betterman is probably the most underrated anime I know of.

Manga-wise, Voynich Hotel, School-Live, and Dorohedoro are all very much worth a read. I've been reading Fist Of The North Star lately too which has been as amazingly, over-the-top 80s action movie manly as I expected. None of those are rom-coms, like, at all, but yeah.

(Last minute addition here: Cardcaptor Sakura! Either the manga or the anime. It's probably going to be your next favorite *thing* ever- hell, it's one of my all time favorites for its mixture of legit occult lore and wholesome mahou shoujo feels- but yeah, it's also one of the most syrupy rom-com slice-of-lifiest chillaxed lovey series to ever also involve potentially apocalyptic stakes. Don't worry, though, those stakes are so far in the background of the perfectly organized love dodecahedron (that somehow resolves without any broken hearts) that it's kind of weird for me to even remember them. TLDR experience Cardcaptor Sakura.

same here, ups and downs. i'm something of a neet but between the blog and my web novel i find myself squeezing in my weeb hobbies myself. (speaking of, thank you for reading, i'm glad you enjoy it :D)

seen or read anything recently that should be on my radar? or, even if its already on my list, what series (anime or manga, or any other medium) have you been into lately?

thanks for the friend request!! hows it goin?
