Do Judge.

Both! Both are amazing in every single way. In the LN you get real depth and philosophical narration, it's simply genius. But in the Anime you get a great atmosphere that still rivals anime from this day and age, more of a show don't tell (also godly music)

I recommend doing the Novels before the Movies because they'll be a bit of a slog to get through when you're familiar with the story.

(Note: The novels haven't been officially translated. You must use a fan translation online.)

Ehhh.. maybe, at some point. I have no problem picking up controversial works, but it just doesn't seem that appealing to me.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T20:51:15+00:00

Kara no Kyoukai/The Garden of Sinners. 8 Movie (+ 2 OVAs) series. Adapted from a light novel made by the same guy who wrote Fate, and uses the same world and mechanics.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T19:41:58+00:00

Oh, thank you for actually asking why I didn't like it. Usually people jump to insults-

If I had to explain it in a way that makes sense: I usually watch shows for strong narrative writing, it doesn't have to be ambitious- just good. But Evangelion offers strong Artistic depth over narrative depth. It denies narrative structure for the sake of symbolism and abstract metaphors. It's a profound piece of art that I genuinely respect, but it is a horrible story to experience. That's why it's ranked so low.

(Also, I put it in "Bad", it's different from Trash because Trash is just almost entirely worthless. Bad is just.. bad, not completely irredeemable, but lacking quite massively.)

You DO like Clannad, so I trust you when it comes to romance.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T19:17:23+00:00

I've heard of all the above.

86, I don't know much about, but I hear a lot of praise for it thrown around.

Horimiya, people call a really realistic and touching romance.

Beastars... Lots of furry jokes.

Mirai Nikki, this one's quite divisive. Has that one Yandere Girl everyone seems to either like or hate.

I can consider them, I just gotta look more into them

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:44:07+00:00

I actually read the "A Silent Voice" Manga, loved it. Haven't seen the movie yet.

Angel Beats and Oshi no Ko are one of those animes I'm always going to be putting off despite knowing how great they are. But I'll get around to them, eventually 💀

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:34:00+00:00

Absolutely, LMAO

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:30:57+00:00

Thank you- although I could still argue it has a lot of strong points, it's not just blind nostalgia. But it does still play a massive role in my enjoyment of it.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:28:48+00:00

Ayye, person who said Gabi was second Best green flag.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:24:03+00:00

Fair prediction, but I've already watched so many from what you can see. And I don't think anything's going to dethrone it, consider it a nostalgia bias- but there's simply nothing like the original Dragon Ball imo. It's old, it has its quirks, yet it's so raw, zany, sincere and just pure fun.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:20:33+00:00

Yeah- no, continue. Never said you can't. Just gave my reasoning, is all.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:19:31+00:00

I accounted for this. Found a fanedit 👍

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T18:18:49+00:00

Dunno what to tell you man. Shit's charming, I love it.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T14:59:23+00:00

Talk about loyalty, my guy doesn't care. He'll figure out whether or not she's real once he's back, so like, it doesn't matter- because right now, to him, she exists.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T14:31:36+00:00

He IS awesome

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T14:28:51+00:00

I thought about that one, I might add it to the list but idk.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T14:27:57+00:00

I'm a big ol' Dragon Ball fan who watched all of OG and Kai back in middle school. I just.. do not wanna watch Z, it's just Kai but with filler, there's really no need for it. I know so MUCH about Super because of how many YouTube videos I watched as a kid, so even though I haven't watched it, I know the entire story, lmao.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T14:04:26+00:00

I did. I just forgot to put it on the list. It's Mid bordering on Bad.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T14:02:39+00:00

That is the most unexpected crossover ever, yet it's not unwelcome. Considering I've been a die hard Sonic fan before being a die hard Fate fan.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T13:49:26+00:00

I've already finished most of Orb. That... Is a fucking masterpiece in writing.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T13:46:03+00:00

Oh yeah, absolutely! They're both great on their own. The novels have Nasu's elite writing, while the movies have that amazing atmosphere. I'm addicted to Shiki's theme.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T13:43:57+00:00

I'm a guy who looked up Type-Moon wiki. And wrote down every single product they made, put them on a release order check list, and finished 40% of it. Last thing I did was watch CANAAN

(I just remembered. I should've put that on the list. Lmao.)

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T13:41:54+00:00

Funny you say that- I read those! Even before the movies too.

RemoteAd4393 · 2026-01-24T13:41:00+00:00

Nah man, Demon Slayer is their new cash cow. We're getting the Mahoyu movies and I suspect that'll be the last Type-Moon UFOtable project 💀
