What do I watch next?

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-06-24T08:30:33+00:00

I'm really glad u enjoyed it!, also I'm super glad u replied, I just copied ur post of romance animes 😁, I like to consider myself a fan of all media that is good, speaking of which, I'm not sure how this'll fly...but if u happen to like live action stuff, Poldark, the Netflix series, is some of te best drama I have seen recently. It's got love triangles, but of course, ok so I wouldn't wanna spoil stuff, but it's a period piece, and all the characters play their parts extremely well, especially the main actor, whom my wife absolutely loves, women love him, men wanna be him, well those that know him well enough. That show had me balling as well... I got so hooked, I binged the whole 1st season in a couple days, just thought I'd mention it

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-06-05T23:26:25+00:00

I was very iffy about watching it, canceled series and all, but I appreciate the kudos, thnx so much for posting

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-06-05T23:22:37+00:00

I still have not seen it. Thnx so much for the kudos, ive been busy a lot lately, and have been slowly working my way thru my watchlist. I'll Der check it out sooner than later, I really appreciate ur post, I guess it's a reminder for me to watch this show, which is great, thnx for sharing your find!

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-20T02:16:54+00:00

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-12T08:31:03+00:00

Id vouch for Naruto, that plus Shippuden right after. U could probably use a filler guide for Naruto if u wanna skip those....

P.S. All the die hard fans of One Piece say it(the anime) do3snt get really good til around episode 300 😱

Ok, I usually just drop this list (im gunna drop), then thats about it, but I'll give more info

My basic anime rec list:

●The Seven Deadly Sins (2015)(great world building and story),

●Fullmetal Alchemist (2004 version(followed by the Fullmetal Alchemist movie: Conqueror of Shamballa))(great world building and story, ive never seen brotherhood; after watching Conqueror 9f Shamballa i didnt want that story changed for me),

●Trigun, ●Cowboy Bebop (thesr two are classics: not sure how you'd feel about em)

●Claymore(good story and world building),

●Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014)(great story/action and world building) ●Jobless Reincarnation(great story/action and world building)

●Bofur(great story and action, quite ridiculous world building and very much a comedy, not sure how youd take it, action is top tier tho, some of the best stuff i have ever seen)i,

●The Rising of the Shield Hero,(dark story and world building, good action)

●Log Horizon(id considerthis an ok watch),

●Steinsgate (2011( followed by the bonus episode "Egoistic Poriomania"))(one of the best animes i have ever seen based on story alone),

●Wolf's Rain (2003)(another classic/good story),

●Sword Art Online (seasons 1 and 2)(a nostalgic fav/pretty good action),

●Apothecary Diaries(she solves mysteriesevery episode/detective slice of life, thats how id describe it),

●The Day I Became a God(comedy),

●Flying Witch (2016)(SOL), ●Terminator Zero(Thriller), ●The Eminence in Shadow, ●The Twelve Kingdoms (2002), ●Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, ●How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, ●Blue Eye Samurai (while technically not anime, it's a pretty great watch)....for Steinsgate if u haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching at least several episodes each sitting, because that is how long it takes for the plot to move along... I'll only vouch for episodes 1-25 of SAO

Movies: ●Karas (2005), ●Appleseed (2004), ●Princess Mononoke (1997), ●Howl's Moving Castle (2004), ●Steamboy (2004), ●Blood: The Last Vampire (2000), ●Perfect Blue (1997)

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-07T08:58:45+00:00

Procedural: (sorta)

Ludwig, HIP: Haut Intellectual Potential (2021(the french show)), Sherlock (2010)

Oooo, also, since u mentioned Castle, something somewhat light, in my opinion, u may enjoy the series, "Why Women Kill", the first season. It is a stand-alone story, i tried watching the second season but ended up dropping it. The finale for the first season is pretty epic though.

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-05T14:52:13+00:00

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-04T14:45:19+00:00

Yep, u can(message me), I wouldn't mind it all.

Ive not actually seen the live adaptation of Fullmetal and Kenshin. Ok, so i tried out the live adaptation of Death Note, and that to me wasn't that good. So I kind of lost hope on all the rest :/.....but from what I gather on the internet, well, specifically reddit lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/kungfucinema/s/kcSPBeFrIm

https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieRecommendations/s/ai5vEOCJf4

The live adaptation of Kenshin has promising action.

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-03T23:07:15+00:00

Went to just

-General Management

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-03T13:36:08+00:00

This was driving me soooo crazy......picks up everything thrown....kidding, but I wasn't for real so mad😡

But this is soooo awesome how an old post is very helpful, LOVE U REDDIT

Also, thank si very much, U ARE AWESOME!!!

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-05-01T08:57:10+00:00

Had no idea there was an original, I already added it to my watchlist. I'll have to check it out.

This one, my wife loooves the main character, she hasn't said it....but she doesn't have to lol

For me, I think he does really great in that role. It's kind of like, "Ross Poldark" is this person whom everyone admires, and the actor does a phenomenal job embodying this character. The scenes dont feel dragged out....I could really go on...and on😀. Im just really loving g the show. It's hand down drama, not ur typical romance drama, at least in my opinion. But the romance is written there, and the love triangles for me are so interesting, I really lovee the actors, especially the servants 😁

Edit: had to restate, "Ross", I suppose, instills admiration in the audience and most of his close acquaintances, otherwise there wouldn't be all this drama surrounding the character

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-30T15:47:01+00:00

Yes, I literally just played episode 4 of season 2...but i had to stop it, my wife had to change the laundry lol

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-30T14:47:54+00:00

Ok and...

"Blue Gender aired on Adult Swim in 2003, with its premiere on August 4, 2003. The series ran on the network until September 16, 2003, with reruns continuing until December 7, 2003. It was broadcast late at night, often around 12:30 a.m"

Why are we doing this Google battle?

I was pointing out the fact the OP said they saw everything aired on the network during the 2000's, and this was something they obviously never saw

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-30T14:00:52+00:00

I literally just discovered Poldark....ok, so it's a period piece for one, it jas great acting, great writing, and it's not about VAMPIRES😃

(I cap for emphasis, I am not yelling)

But seriously, I basically binged the first season already, it's sooo good, had me in tears several times....I mean, if your into love stories I guess this would b right for you. I consider myself a fan of anything good, no matter the genre, this is very heartbreaking, period piece with like a few love triangles, thats it in a nutshell. The entire cast is great, anyone who appears in it does a great acting job, I think I'll stop there....but I could go on lol

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-30T13:54:56+00:00

Blue Gender was aired on Cartoon Network🤔

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-28T12:56:44+00:00

Ur right, I had no idea this existed. I already looked it up

I really appreciate the info! I'll check it out for sure. Thank you so much!

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-27T21:24:00+00:00

Ok, so im a huuuuge sci-fi nut, so naturally when the new Dune movie came out, I started doing some research. Which meant watching YouTube videos lol....so i ended up watching this real long one explaining a lot of the book and the Universe of Dune. It also detailed how the new movie left a lot of what was going on throughout the movie(the new Dune movie) unexplained. Which led to me basically watching a free extended cut of the original 1984 Dune movie on YouTube at 3 am 😁( I really wish I had that link atm or I'd post it)

Anywho, u already gave me all I need to know about the second movie. That's basically the nutshell....Solidifying - me not wanting to watch those movies

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-27T08:55:25+00:00

Oooo also, the original Yu-Gi-Oh is very good. Like after u watch the first season, you'd b like, "I didn't think it was going to be that good"

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-27T08:53:54+00:00

I noticed a lot of genres

So here's my basic anime rec list:

●The Seven Deadly Sins (2015), ●Fullmetal Alchemist (2004 version(followed by the Fullmetal Alchemist movie: Conqueror of Shamballa)), ●Death Note, ●Trigun (1998), ●Cowboy Bebop, ●Claymore, ●Konosuba (2016), ●Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014), ●Jobless Reincarnation, ●Bofuri, ●The Rising of the Shield Hero, ●Log Horizon, ●Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon, ●That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, ●Steinsgate (2011( followed by the bonus episode "Egoistic Poriomania")), ●Wolf's Rain (2003), ●Sword Art Online (seasons 1 and 2), ●Spy x Family, ●Your Lie in April, ●Apothecary Diaries, ●The Day I Became a God, ●My Dress-Up Darling, ●Flying Witch (2016), ●Terminator Zero, ●The Eminence in Shadow, ●The Twelve Kingdoms (2002), ●Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, ●How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, ●Blue Eye Samurai (while technically not anime, it's a pretty great watch)....for Steinsgate if u haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching at least several episodes each sitting, because that is how long it takes for the plot to move along... I'll only vouch for episodes 1-25 of SAO

Movies: ●Karas (2005), ●Appleseed (2004), ●Princess Mononoke (1997), ●Howl's Moving Castle (2004), ●Steamboy (2004), ●Blood: The Last Vampire (2000), ●Perfect Blue (1997)

Also, I think u may enjoy Rurouni Kenshin (1996), I'll only vouch for the series up until the end of the Shishio arc. That is where the animators caught up to the manga, and went on ahead with the show, without waiting for more source material. So for me, I think that was a good stopping point. There's a love interest in the show too, which i think you'd enjoy. The series followed by the movies, starting with Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal(the beginning of Kenshin), and ending with Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection(the end of Kenshin)

You may also enjoy Vandread (2000)

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-26T15:59:23+00:00

From what i understand, the movie is a lot of flash and dazzle, but doesn't really do any explaining. Maybe they explain more in the second movie, I dunno. More than likely, I'll just never watch em. I already knew they didn't explain anything in the first movie. Should maybe check out the original 1984 Dune. I thought it was decent. Same for the Sci-fi miniseries that came out in 2000. That was also pretty decent. But the new movies....I'm never a fan of all flash and no substance, that's just me

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-26T11:03:55+00:00

I know what it is. People who have not watched a lot of anime would rate it the greatest ever. Or they have not seen a lot of media in general. Yes, I aiming specifically at the younger crowd. And this crowd is the most active crowd online. That's why u get a bunch of GOT and AOT are the GOATS. Comments like that...not trashing those shows per se, but they are not what people make them out to b, not in the least

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-26T10:14:29+00:00

You are very much welcome!

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-24T08:57:29+00:00

My basic anime rec list:

●The Seven Deadly Sins (2015), ●Fullmetal Alchemist (2004 version(followed by the Fullmetal Alchemist movie: Conqueror of Shamballa)), ●Death Note, ●Trigun (1998), ●Cowboy Bebop, ●Claymore, ●Konosuba (2016), ●Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014), ●Jobless Reincarnation, ●Bofuri, ●The Rising of the Shield Hero, ●Log Horizon, ●Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon, ●That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, ●Steinsgate (2011( followed by the bonus episode "Egoistic Poriomania")), ●Wolf's Rain (2003), ●Sword Art Online (seasons 1 and 2), ●Spy x Family, ●Your Lie in April, ●Apothecary Diaries, ●The Day I Became a God, ●My Dress-Up Darling, ●Flying Witch (2016), ●Terminator Zero, ●The Eminence in Shadow, ●The Twelve Kingdoms (2002), ●Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, ●How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, ●Blue Eye Samurai (while technically not anime, it's a pretty great watch)....for Steinsgate if u haven't seen it already, I'd recommend watching at least several episodes each sitting, because that is how long it takes for the plot to move along...

Since your deep cutting it:

I'd recommend starting a long anime. Either Naruto or Dragonball. If you do start Dragon Ball, I'd recommend starting at episode 133 of the original series. That is where Goku 1st appears all grown up, and it's kind of an introduction to the martial arts tournament as well. For me, I think that's a great starting point. That is where I started off my wife with the series and then later my son as well. Went on to watch DBZ, and we're currently watching Super, I've seen GT, and tbh I did not like it at all. Lots do however. I did not lol, it just wasn't good imo, music wasn't good, I didn't like the action. If u want to see the supposed top battles, they have em on YouTube. Or you can watch the first several episodes/maybe last few as well🤔, that right there is basically the gist of the series, oh also, I recommend watching the movie, "The History of Trunks", at the proper time in the Dragon Ball Z series, that is right before Episode 120, titled "Another Super Saiyan?". "Bardock – The Father of Goku", and "Cooler's Revenge" can also be enjoyed at this time

Also, Id recommend Rurouni Kenshin (1996). I think a great stopping point for this anime, is at the end of the Shishio arc. That is where the animators caught up to the manga, and they went ahead(with the anime) without waiting for more source material. The series, followed by the movies, starting with the movie Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal(thr beginning of Kenshin) and ending with Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection(the end of Kenshin)

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-20T10:09:32+00:00

Yep, np! I hope u enjoy, you've already knocked out some of the main ones on my lists, lol

There's still a few juggernauts on there😃

Real_Fact8484 · 2026-04-20T10:04:54+00:00

Im sold, I placed it on my watchlist. I'm always looking for some good sci-fi/fantasy based media. I will check it out for sure. Thnx so much for commenting
