hi friends!

this thread is to share your love and recommendations!

Tales of Demons and Gods

they talk a lot about cultivation which i believe is meditation. when they spend hours cultivating, they get stronger and sometimes figure out new abilities.

Tower of God

really cool universe and their ability to manipulate the energy around them called shinsoo is fun.

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

i love the main character’s OPness and the power of friendship.

i have a tooon more, but i’ll keep it to those three for now!

Thank you so much @psynergy for starting this thread…manga and anime are my little secret passions that I rarely get to express with others. I’ll keep my list short as well, don’t want to overwhelm folks with too much info. I’ll start with my top 2.5.

I love Naruto! It’s my all time favourite manga and anime…a classic hero’s journey with the power of love and the bonds of friendship being its central theme… I don’t care if people think it’s corny, I absolutely adore it!
I have found it an immense inspiration in my own life…especially whilst navigating through difficult periods without victimising myself; therefore, being able to keep my heart and mind open regardless of the circumstances.

Naruto

Naruto Shippuden

A close second for me is Bleach. I prefer the manga to the anime because Tite Kubo, the creator/artist, is the best mangaka of all time in my opinion. He used illustrative techniques that a lot of other mangaka have copied since but never quite duplicated. The story is fantastic as well.

Bleach

***I also recommend watching all anime subbed to get the real flavour of the work the mangka envisioned.
In my opinion, the Japanese voice actors are miles ahead of the American ones when it comes to anime acting, therefore, a lot of times the subtle meanings and pronunciation of Japanese names /words are lost in translation.

Wow, now that’s a surprise… Awesome

@psynergy

My knowledge is very limited, but I enjoyed Rurouni Kenshin and Dragon Ball Z

I guess I liked Kenshin Himura’s character. This is just my take, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but the protagonist had a dark past, whose seen and experienced some terrible things, but now wants to use what he learned for good. He essentially integrated his shadow into something useful and worthwhile. To protect, rather than to destroy.

Plus the music score was pretty good.

Dragon Ball Z. Can’t get tired of this one. It’s just good stuff.

Chainsaw Man

Best manga I read last year

Valerie · April 1, 2021, 4:11pm

BLEACH is/was my number one!

No exact date yet, but I am so looking forward to this:

‘Another’ is something I also really liked, as well as:

I’ve started watching this on Netflix recently:

I like dark anime as well.

There’s so many I’ve watched since my childhood; it’s a long list.

I even watched anime adaptations of children’s stories like:

AkiraTheWild · April 1, 2021, 4:58pm

Re:Re Ohh amazing , subarashi .you still watching it? a master piece to me :)

btw the Opening its so so cool , did you like it?

Jossette · April 1, 2021, 5:54pm

OMGoddess!!! Thank you sooooooooooo much for the update @Valerie
I pray this is true because it really hurt my feelings the way they suddenly ended the anime.
Please keep me updated if you hear anymore about it.
Honestly, you’ve made my day even brighter!

You have excellent taste! Bleach was also my number one for a long time, but some of the plot choices Tite made rubbed me the wrong way so, Naruto just edged it to a very high second place…regardless, Kubo is still my number one Mangaka without a doubt.

Thanks for sharing your other faves as well, I’ll definitely check out Erased first, I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.

Edit:
Here are a few of my other faves:

psynergy · April 1, 2021, 6:21pm

these were great! i love sakura’s abilities in shippuden!

hinata was my favourite pre-shippuden because of her fighting style.

my favourite memorable scene in naruto

when rock lee and gaara were fighting in the chuunin exams and rock was allowed to take off his weights!

i really enjoyed bleach!

my favourite character:

kensei muguruma

i loved dragon ball and dragon ball z, but i barely remember much. (probably time to re-watch!!)

i’m currently watching dragon ball super because it makes me feel relaxed lol.

all awesome!!

have you read the latest chapter of solo levelling?? @AkiraTheWild

@anon20763027

death note and FMA were awesome!!

i love FMA brotherhood as it was similar to the manga!

@Zen

my roomie is pretty into black clover. i’ll check it out sometime!

@anon46074933

jojo is pretty interesting! my roomies watch it in the living room so i sometimes pop by and watch.

i’ve seen bits and pieces of season 1, 4, and 5 i believe!

i really like the stands and how each is named after a song!

@Valerie

the promised neverland is awesome!

spoiler

the funny food memes my friends share to me always catch me off guard.

first season of one punch man was amazing!!

i’ve seen about 2-3 seasons of Attach on Titan based on where i’m at in the manga.

There are some really nice manga that I haven’t looked at yet.

I have very little time to devote to it. One moment is one piece that I am attentively .

Jossette · April 1, 2021, 6:57pm

Whew! Yes it was! What a hero…can you imagine the idea to start the hero’s journey
being as badass Godlevel as Saitama? It’s a great premise. hahahaha

The anime is awesome too, check it out when you get a chance.

I love Sakura’s abilities as well but they were sadly so under used…
except when she was beating up Naruto.

ooh, he’s great, but kenpachi kiganjō is my fave captian

anon20763027 · April 1, 2021, 8:23pm

Well he got beaten up seriously in the manga by a foul character tho which was not really cool

yuihwa · April 1, 2021, 11:24pm

GANTZ is GOAT.

DR_MANHATTAN · April 1, 2021, 11:40pm
