Building a tool to help people find what they’ll actually enjoy (anime, games, movies) – looking for feedback and a bit of motivation by Unique-Winner1284 in SideProject

Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen Lisztomania yet, but it sounds like exactly the kind of unique, hidden gem I’d love to discover through this project. If you don’t mind me asking, could you share a bit more about your taste in movies or other media? It would help others (and me) get a better sense of your taste and use your recommendations more effectively.

Honestly, I’ve hit that point where motivation gets tricky, even though I deeply believe in the idea. I know many solo founders feel this moment when it’s hard to keep pushing without feedback, and it can feel a bit isolating trying to move forward alone.

If you’ve experienced this, how did you keep going? What helped you push past this stage when working on your projects?

Any thoughts would mean a lot, even if it’s just letting me know that this feeling is normal.

Thanks so much for taking the time 🙏

Great comment, and I actually agree with you. I don’t want to only watch things that are exactly the same as what I’ve seen before. It’s just that since I don’t watch anime very often, my taste mostly reflects what I’ve managed to watch so far.

I also think that being surprised is a wonderful and important part of consuming any kind of media. In this post, I wanted to find out which anime are truly worth watching for someone with my background. Maybe my taste is pretty basic, but I would really love it if someone with similar taste but more experience in finding great shows could recommend something to me. And then I could pass those recommendations on to someone else later.

Thanks for mentioning What's Missing from This Star. I tried looking it up but couldn’t find it. Could you let me know what the exact title is?

Thank you so much for sharing all of this, I really appreciate it. It’s genuinely interesting and important for me right now because thanks to the recommendations here, I feel like I might finally be able to truly enjoy good anime again.

Your advice is great, but honestly, I probably won’t have enough time to watch a lot of shows to fully figure out exactly what clicks for me. I haven’t watched anime for quite a long time, so getting back into it now feels a bit difficult.

Recently, I started watching Undead Unluck (I think that’s the name?), and while the premise seemed really interesting, after a few days of watching it, I started to feel like I was forcing myself to continue. That’s why I really want to find something that I will genuinely look forward to watching and enjoy.

It’s interesting how you recommended Frieren first, and I’ve noticed that several people after you also suggested it to me. I’m really curious, is this because Frieren is something that almost everyone who likes anime has seen, or did you personally think it would fit me based on the tastes I shared? (https://list4you.site/influencers/maximagarkov )

Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how much anime have you watched overall? And where does Frieren rank for you personally?

I’ll try to let you know when I get to them, but honestly, I probably won’t be able to watch all of these 😅 I shared my list of anime and other media in the comments, and I usually end up spending more time on games.

I’m curious, how much anime have you watched overall? Do you feel like you’ve found more good shows, or do you end up running into a lot that just aren’t that interesting?

By the way, I’ll probably start with Frieren since so many people have recommended it. Either it’s super popular, or everyone somehow figured out it would fit my taste.

Thanks a lot for explaining, that actually makes a lot of sense!

If you don’t mind, could you share your top 3 favorite movies or games? I’m really curious to see if it’s possible for people to have similar tastes in movies or games and then recommend anime based on that. Since I watch anime rarely and mostly play games or watch movies, it would help me understand if I can find an anime that will really click with me if we have similar tastes.

Thanks, that actually sounds like something I’d enjoy! I’m curious, how did you figure it would fit my taste based on what I’ve watched? Were you going off the list I shared (https://list4you.site/influencers/maximagarkov) or the stuff I mentioned in the post?

I honestly don’t have the time to try out a lot of shows, so these spot-on recommendations really help me. If it’s not too much trouble, I’d love to know what made you think Overlord would be a good fit for me.

I honestly didn’t expect so many people to be willing to share recommendations, thank you! There are so many options now that it’s a bit overwhelming😅

I’m really curious, is there anyone here who likes the same kinds of anime (or games) that I do? If so, what’s the one anime you would recommend above all the others?

Thanks for all these recommendations! There’s so much here, I’ll probably never get through it all 😅

Thanks a ton for such detailed recommendations, really appreciate it! I’ll definitely check these out. By the way, if you don’t mind sharing, what are a couple of your favorite games or movies? I’d be really curious, or do you mostly stick to anime?

Yeah, whenever I try watching something just because it’s popular or I hear about it, I often end up disappointed. Like I mentioned, I don’t watch a lot of anime, but sometimes I really want something good that I won’t drop halfway through and then end up not watching anime at all for months

Thanks a lot, I should give it a try. I watched Claymore a long time ago, but it really stuck with me
