Recommend anime based on my list
MAL: https://myanimelist.net/profile/mo_lave
I do have a backlog of PTW, but surprise me with some recs and it might skip the line.
You’ve watched quite a bit of anime, so we have a fair amount of overlaps. Unlike me, you are more generous when scoring (no 1s and 2s!) and you have a more diverse taste in anime.
As such, I won’t be able to recommend anime based on a particular theme / genre - unless you have something in mind?
I’ll just point out my favourites that are not in your completed list, though I won’t be surprised if some of them are already in your PTW list.
P.S.
Not among my top favourites at the moment, but worth adding to your PTW list if you haven’t done so already IMO; I should have filtered out those that you’ve completed:
Keep in mind that “Gushing over Magical Girls” is often considered hentai or borderline hentai by ecchi standards 😈
Oh yeah, DanMeshi and Apothecary Diaries are indeed in my PTW.
Good ecchi is hard to come by, and I consider Frieren ecchi (hot take, yes - it’s one of the best in that regard), so you get the idea where my standards are lol.
I might watch it alongside Makeine, which of them should I start first?
They are quite different, so it’s really up to you.
I find that Makeine is very similar to Makoto Shinkai’s works in terms of art style, soundtracks and humour.
I would say the most similar anime to 100 Girlfriends is Gintama, though season 1 is really just a preview of the bullshit to come.
I see. Thanks for the recs!
I saw you had all the Trigun stuff, but not the recent reboot, Trigun Stampede.
Aharen is Indecipherable and Tomo-chan is a Girl are fun RomCom shows.
Golden Kamuy isn’t on your list, but it’s one of my all time favorites that I’ll always recommend.
