/rec/ - Anime & Manga Recommendations

Have you seen Evangelion and Madoka?

>>4882

Yes and I enjoyed them both very much.

I've also enjoyed Phantom: Requiem for a Phantom, and Speedgrapher. I don't know how much that helps.

Try Casshern Sins. Its more melancholic then dark though, definitely artsy with lots of what it means to be human stuff

This might sound like a completely unrelated recommendation, but:

Shigurui.

It's very violent but the tone is just depressing and tragic because honor and revenge bound people just can't redeem themselves even though they potentially could.

Note, the tone of the AMV I am linking is not representative of the actual tone.

I just like how it's put together and it shows off some cool animation.

The anime itself is very glum.

Thank you both for the recommendations. I will check both of them out.

Bobby's in Deep might fit. It's only like 40 minutes, so it couldn't hurt to try.

School Live is pretty good.

You'll want to drop it one minute in.

Don't

May I suggest a seasonal anime that I just finished watching?

The name would be plastic memories. I never thought I would come to cry about a season anime but this one here did a good job of packing up a good story over the span of its 13 episodes. It's nothing short of your average anime tragedy-like story, yet it did it for me because of all the friendship bounds involved in it. I'm a sucker for friendships that continue into the afterlife, with people vowing not to ever forget the time shared with one another. If you like this stuff then you're gonna enjoy watching this.
