Watched recently 9 one punch man episode in a row. Which is really nice anime.

Wondering if they also going add a Illuminate in a party. I am certain that yours god with backpack and a someone named Adam has a real relationship with me. And I don't mean a good one. Adam is just used as weapon against people like me. And that lowest rank player I rescue who you considering a god using my equipment only to exist to backstab me.

And offtopic btw you lowest rank childs, don't think that Adam make a chance against me. You only got teached how to world currently run. And that means he going end up as the world currently run. And I am being called cheater. And that is how you end up dying.

Sorry about the late reply, got sidetrack all of a sudden.

My Manga Recommendations:

  • Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?
  • MAOYUU MAOU YUUSHA
  • After School Nightmare
  • Inuyasha
  • Ergo Proxy

I also already watch most of the Animes on those Mangas and I hope you enjoy them.

Dragonball Super would probably benefit from filler, it's brisk pace doesn't allow enough time to invest in what's going on.

just started reading Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, such a great manga. Definitely recommended for those that enjoy Mystery. And anime adaptation is also currently airing so that is also recommended

It seems Gohan will no longer be neutered and may actually be relevant again.

All in all Super has been enjoyable, if overly paced.

Just finished Hunter X Hunter. 9.5/10

The chimera arc is easily one of the greatest if not the greatest arc I have ever seen. A true masterpiece. Shame the manga author is always injured/doing something else to continue the story...

So... I'm after a new anime to watch. Preferably one that is 3 seasons or less. And action related

I've seen Bleach, One Man Punch, Rosiario Vampire, and a few other action related ones that I don't remember the names of.

Is Elfen Lied (or whatever the name was) recommended?

**** Elfen Lied. Hard to recommend a show without knowing the preference so this'll be general list.

Shows I recommend to everyone no matter their preference, all 10/10

  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Gurren Lagann
  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
  • Steins;Gate (<3 Kurisu)
  • Death Note
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion

My personal picks.

  • Ghost in the Shell SAC/2nd
  • SNAFU
  • Fate/Zero and Fate Stay Night UBW 2014
  • Your Lie in April
  • Clannad/After Story
  • GTO
  • Golden Time
  • Bakemonogatari
  • Attack on Titan
  • Spice and Wolf
  • Garden of Sinners (all)

It's a great series but it's underrated. Tomoko just needs to take care of herself and it's not our fault she's not popular. Great Anime, you won't be disappointed.

[I like the Death Note reference in the first episode.

These are not a anime, but a manga/light novel recommendation (if you can find a translated version) And I REALLY hope these become into anime like GATE

Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari

Synopsis (from baka-updates)

"Naofumi Iwatani, an uncharismatic Otaku who spends his days on games and manga, suddenly finds himself summoned to a parallel universe! He discovers he is one of four heroes equipped with legendary weapons and tasked with saving the world from its prophesied destruction. As the Shield Hero, the weakest of the heroes, all is not as it seems. Naofumi is soon alone, penniless, and betrayed. With no one to turn to, and nowhere to run, he is left with only his shield. Now, Naofumi must rise to become the legendary Shield Hero and save the world!"

Such a great read, and you can emphasis to the main character. There will be a characters you will hate, and I mean REALLY hate. The author made a great job on trying to create a character that can be hated this much,

Another recommendation would be

Mushoku Tensei - Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu

Synopsis (from baka-updates)

"A 34-years-old NEET otaku is chased out from his house by his family. Unattractive and penniless, he finds that he has reached a dead end in life and realizes that his life actually could have been much better if he had made better choices in the past.
Just when he was at the point of regret, he saw a truck moving at a fast speed straight towards three high schoolers in its path. Mustering all the strength he had, he tried to save them and ended up getting run over by the truck, quickly ending his life.
The next time he opened his eyes, he was already reincarnated into a world of sword and magic as Rudeus Greyrat. Born to a new world, a new life, Rudeus decided that, "This time, I'll really live my life to the fullest with no regret!" Thus, starts the journey of a man yearning to restart his life."

There is quite some fan service on this, but the story outweighs the fan service.

You guys are either really fudging intelligent or really fudging dumb.

Well, anyways, You won't get Baccano or Durarara until you've watched 90% of both.

Elfen Lied is passable. I didn't like it at all. But some people liked it immensely. Don't know which category you'll belong.

If you're looking for action then also try out Hunter X Hunter apart from what Legend002 has recommended. It's a bit long but I've never seen someone disappointed by HxH. It's brilliant.

I didn't like the Chimera arc really. Yorknew city arc was God damn brilliant but Chimera was somewhat disappointing at the start. It started picking up the pace at the last few episodes but they way they dragged those 3 minutes into 10 fudging episodes pissed me off to no end. I did, however, like the philosophical touch at the end. King's relation with Komugi and his realization of the things that make life worth living was heartwarming.

Its not dying but its definitely changed a lot the anime nowadays is very different from even the anime ten years ago let alone 20-30 years ago but japan pumps out so many different animated series movies and ova every year that there is something there for just about everyone you just have to look!

I would recommend the following anime

  • Attack on Titan
  • Sword Art Online
  • Durarara
  • Kuruko Basketball
  • Gurren Lagaan
  • HunterxHunter Longer then 3 seasons but such a good anime
  • RWBY American made but very good none the less
  • Magi
  • No Game No Life
  • Kill La Kill
  • The Beserk Films

When it came to interacting with non related members of the opposite sex I found attractive that was basically me but in female form a forced 28 day nofap+noporn+novideogames+noexesssive internet browsing like about 2 years ago kick started a big change in me it got the ball rolling so to speak. That was probably the most important 28 days of my life although I didn't know it at the time. The amazing metamorphis I would start to undergo got started in those 28 days. My impulse decision to try drinking a bottle of cough syrup because of this DXM stuff it contained that I had read about on the internet turned out to be the second most important experience in my life. DXM facilitated an incredible amount of accelerated personal growth in me completely changing my world views on so many things in life and ultimately permanently changing me as a person for the better I like to believe through using it. Steve Jobs said his LSD experiences where in the 2 or 3 most important things that ever happened to him DXM is to me what LSD was for Steve Jobs. But ultimately no drug was going to do for me what finally beating my porn addiction once and for all would do for me its been a long war with many battles I've experience many times of victory and triumph and many times of utter defeat in those 2 years but I ultimately I did come out on top I'm still not fully finished with my fight with the demon known as porn addiction but I can finally see the end in sight no longer will I allow it to control me I've broken free from its grasp. The opening to Watamote is actually a very fitting way to describe how my life was for most its time on this earth up to this point in time that and Sphongles Song When Shall I Be Free. Sorry that I went way off topic and got really deep all of a sudden it felt like the right thing for me to do at the time wanted to share my story a brief summary of it anyways.

It has finished airing now and it's easily one of the best anime I've ever watched. The ratings are pretty high too. Be sure to watch it; you don't see anime that actually teach you something about Japanese culture often.

Right now watching Casshern Sins. Loving the atmosphere so far.
