So recently I had an anime watch party and we were browsing anime to watch and I came across Pluto. Admittedly I’m only 2 episodes in but so far it’s SO solid. And I’m just surprised I had never heard of it and it came out 3 years ago. Especially since it’s a reimagining of Astroboy and everyone’s heard of that…
Another one I had surprisingly never heard of but so far seems solid is Level E written by Yoshihiro Togashi. My favorite anime is YYH and I loved HxH so how come I hadn’t heard of Level E until now? Again, only 2 episodes in but seems legitimately good and it’s by a wildly successful creator.
What’s an anime you didn’t expect much of because it seems lesser known, but turns out to be very good? I mean like, not only do u like it but ur surprised the general public - casual anime fans aren’t aware of it.
Warning, these are titty animes, so feel free to judge me if you want.
I have literally never heard anyone else talk about Sin: Nanatsu no Taiza/Seven Mortal Sins (this is NOT the Seven Deadly Sins show from Netflix), but I think it’s incredible and incredibly deep. It doesn’t totally beat you over the head with the themes, but it’s an excellent take on the message of automony, free will, and determinism, with Lucifer the falling angel taking center stage.
Beyond that, I think Sekirei is probably one of my overall top favorite anime, with some truly fascinating world-building. It’s Pokemon but big tiddy babes instead of little pocket monsters! That being said, there is one character that almost ruins the show with weird pedo bait and god I wish so very very much that character and her storyline just fully did not exist (Kuu).
Titty anime definitely used to be offputting for me tbh. But the older and lonelier I get, the more I can deal with it. So I’ll add them to my watchlist.
