Reader’s Question:
I’m a fan of anime like NARUTO, Attack on Titan, Frieren, Jobless Reincarnation, Chainsaw Man, and Summer Time Rendering. Can you recommend some other anime I might enjoy? I know my tastes are a bit all over the place.
Anime Recommendations for a Diverse Taste
Hey there! So, I saw
your question about anime and had to jump in. It’s so cool to see someone who loves a wide range of shows like NARUTO and Attack on Titan. You’re definitely in for a treat with some of these recommendations!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
First off, let me talk about Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. This one is a classic and a must-watch if you haven’t seen it yet. The story follows two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who are on a quest to restore their bodies after a failed alchemical experiment. The early episodes are great, but trust me, it’s the mid to later parts that really blow you away. Plus, the voice actor for Edward is the same as Hange from Attack on Titan—how cool is that? I remember watching it late at night, completely hooked, and laughing one moment, then crying the next. Such a rollercoaster!
Kingdom
Next up is Kingdom. If you’re into historical battles, this one’s for you. It’s based on the Warring States period in China and is packed with epic battles and strategic warfare. I’ve heard some people rave about the live-action adaptation, but I personally think the anime captures the essence way better. The first two seasons have an incredible story, but I’ll be honest—the art style might throw you off a bit. Stick with it until the third season, though, because that’s when the animation quality really takes off. I remember binge-watching it in one weekend, completely losing track of time!
Violet Evergarden
Now, if you’re looking for something a little different, give Violet Evergarden a shot. It’s not just about battles; it’s a beautiful coming-of-age story of a girl who, after the war, learns to understand emotions while working as a letter writer. It’s heartwarming and can hit you right in the feels. The animation is stunning, and the voice actress for Violet is the same as Mikasa from Attack on Titan. I found myself pausing episodes just to take in the visuals and the emotional depth. I still get teary-eyed thinking about some of the moments!
Doctor Stone and Bleach
Lastly, I’d recommend Doctor Stone and the latest Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Arc. Doctor Stone is a unique blend of science and adventure—imagine waking up in a world where all of humanity has been turned to stone! The way they use science to rebuild civilization is both educational and entertaining. As for Bleach, even if you’re just diving into the Thousand-Year Blood War, you’ll find it accessible and thrilling. The battles are intense, and the characters are unforgettable. I remember having a snack marathon while watching Bleach, completely forgetting about the food halfway through—I was just so engrossed! So, there you have it! These shows have given me countless hours of entertainment and emotional moments, and I can’t wait to hear what you think if you check them out. Feel free to drop your thoughts or any recommendations you might have in the comments! What anime has surprised you the most? Let’s keep this conversation going!
