Anime & Manga Anime

[Lemonl]

What are some of your favorite anime/manga and why? I’d love to hear your answers. ♥︎

 

[Eloquently_Put]

Orange is up there for my favorite, it’s refreshing to see mental health problems addressed. The friendship the characters have with one another is something to be envied.
The suspense of the show/manga is enough to drive you insane, you’re on the edge of your seat the entire time. It left my fiancé and I with a serious anime hangover.

 

[Akhdas]

Fairy tail because it's so garbage it's like a testament of one's intelligent how the show repeating it's garbage plot device and it's cult fanbase ate it up regardless it's interesting actually.

I’m not really sure is you like it or not. That whole post was pretty passive aggressive. lol

Believe me, i like it, at how bad that show is

 

[kitzusa]

i can't really choose, since it's been a while since i watch any anime or read any manga (really need to get back to it, though ahaha)
but, if i have to choose, it will be bungou stray dogs as i enjoy the concept of them taking inspirations from real life authors and make it into a story. the story to me is meaningful and bungou stray dogs means a lot to me in the sense of teaching me something. ^^

 

[Borkus Lazorus]

I think in terms of what my favorite manga/anime is right now, I have to say it's My Hero Academia and One Punch Man. Both are perfect mirror images that complement each other's themes well.

 

[RubyMilk]

Hunter X Hunter (2011) was B O M B. It was the first shounen I'd ever seen where I was actually engaged the entire time I was watching it and there was next to no filler. I almost wish I could forget about it and watch it again to experience it with a fresh mind.

 

[Idea]

Note: I am treating each franchise as a single title, so as to avoid a single franchise holding too many spots, and also because I feel like many series don't make sense to only watch parts of, and have their quality influenced by the existence of further material.

  My Top Ten Favorite Anime​
  1.Re:Creators
  

  

  Re:creators is an anime that fascinates me. Beyond just the themes, the very construction of the show, every scene and every character is riddled with layers upon layers of meaning and impact to discover, the show plays with various pretty unique and thought-provoking ideas and is not afraid to make use of all of it's resources, bringing in meta elements unlike those I've seen anywhere else.
  
  Re:creators is a show where various characters are mysteriously brought from their respective stories into the real world by an even more mysterious girl wearing a military uniform. She seems to have some kind of grudge against humanity, so the characters band together to try and stop her plans, whatever they might be.
  
  While the show admitedly has a slow start, it by no means lacks action or characters, however it is the kind of show that asks you to pay attention to what is being said. Re:creators has an excellent mix of genres and understanding of tropes, which it uses to build upon the characters and ideas, in particular the questions it raises in regards to story telling. It also has superb art, music and animation, and a fair mix of comedy, action and drama.
  
  Overall, I wouldn't call Re:creators the best at any particular field (though it is great in pretty much all of them) , except in how it manages to entertain, speak for itself and bring in great ideas, questions and thoughts in the midst of it all. Re:creators is a story about stories, and as a writer, roleplayer, reader and anime watcher it has a special place in my heart.
  
  I am currently working on an in-depth review of the show, so as to better surmize why I love it so much.
  
  
  
  2.Log Horizon
  

  

  Coming in second place is Log Horizon, a show about a group of gamers who suddenly inexplicably find themselves in a world very similar to that of the Elder Tale game they were playing (your average MMORPG), except ALIVE. With seemingly no way to go back, people have to cope with their new exist and learn coexist in scociety in this new world.
  
  Log Horizon just strikes so many cords with me that I don't even know where to start. I love the world building and the general isekai/game aspects of it, I love the politics and mind games (which I would put almost on par with death note's), but the thing I probably love most about the show is the excellent structural writing that goes into it, the mindblowing build-up and foreshadowing.
  
  While the show certainly has dark and serious elements it also has it's fair share of comedic ones, making for a very well balanced atmosphere played at just the right moments, with just the right set up to work. The characters are well-defined but always seem to have something more to learn about who they are or who they are changing into through the marvelously handled character arcs.
  
  
  
  
  3.Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru.
  One of the thinks that strikes me almost as odd when I watch this show is the sheer rewatch value it had for me. I've watched it some four or five times and each time it felt like a deeply connecting experience for me, both on comedic and serious tones. Each time I felt like I was unveiling more about the show and the characters and catching more onto certain subtle hints being delivered.
  
  One of this show's greatest assets is the main character, Hikigaya Hachiman. A self-professed loner this kid has his hand forced in joining the volunteer club, a club currently with only a singular member which dedicates itself to "helping people achieve their dreams". Hikigaya's inner monologue not only is a hilarious aspect of the show, the cynical viewpoint he displays and the way it contrasts with others is a major driving force of the show's action and themes. I would call Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. a show definitely built around characters, as the relationships that surround them and they form, their personalities and viewpoints, and how it applies to their lives in society and highschool are exactly what the show focuses on, and in that area the show is both inventive and thought provoking.
  
  There's also quite a unique element of self-sacrifical tragedy in the show, though I will hold on spoilers beyond that. However, it is a major aspect of what makes the show as great as to propell it to the third spot, and a driving element of the second season's plot.
  
  
  
  
  4.Konosuba
  

  

  In my "humble" opinion, one of the best comedies out there right now, Konosuba is about Satou Kazuma, a japanese boy who gets "hit by a truck" (you'll understand why I put that in air quotes when you see the show) and ends up with the offer to go to a fantasy world to be reincarnated, with the promise that, should he defeat the demon king, he will be granted 1 wish. However he quickly finds that things don't go as expected and among other matters his party seems to fill up with one useless/crazy girl after another.
  
  My description doesn't even begin to do justice the whackyness and fun of the show and it is no coincidence that many consider it a comedy staple in anime. The characters are extremely compelling, well-defined and become more rounded as the show goes on and we are allowed to see them in different contexts and different light. This empowers the already powerful comedy (especially for those well-aware of the tropes of isekai),alongside Konosuba's remarkable continuity despite being essentially an episodic show.
  
  
  
  
  5.Date a Live
  Somwhere in the near future, disastrous events capable of wiping out cities called "spacequakes" begin to randomly appear and cause havoc. Secretely, alongside the spacequakes always appear girls named "spirits", who cause spacequakes as they subconsicously use their power to leave and re-enter Earth. The typical solution is to attempt to kill them off so they can't do that, however, the main character, Itsuka Shido, is tasked with an alternate solution: To make them fall in love with him, so they love the world by proxy and don't leave in the first place.
  
  Date a live has remained lurking at the bottom of my top tens for a while, mostly because I have yet to be able to articulate why I love this show so much. However, it is a fact that I do love it to that extent: The character's are absolutely adorable (and well-rounded), the art is nice and polished, the comedy is fun, the romance nice and I can rewatch the show many times over, and specific scenes even more, without ever seeming to really get tired of seeing them.
  
  I guess that last bit especially is what propells it despite the obvious presences of tropes and very common ideas in harem anime (of which I would consider this a greater breed, in that it is the kind of harem where the main character is actively trying to make the girls fall for him, thus removing the forced coincidental nature some harems have). However, while the show has plenty of tropes in it's deck, I would point out how far beyond those tropes the show goes. Furthermore the cast is plenty diverse and well-rounded, each character's shortcomings being complemented by the remainer of the group. There's a bit for everyone except haters to enjoy, which does not guarantee you will, but I definitely love it.
  
  
  
  6.Code Geass
  

  

  Code Geass is a show with an absolutely fantastic ending. Throughout it's run, the shows embarks in a variety of genres, mystery, warfare, political, mecha, scifi, science fantasy even a bit of slice of life and romcom, but throughout the whole run it continually displays intelligent writing, interesting themes, and more significantly, a very smart way to play with the existing pieces in the chessboard if you will.
  
  Code Geass is about Lelouch, a disowned heir to the throne of the greatest empire in the world Britannia, which now rules even over Japan through the use of mechas named knightmares. Lelouch meets a girl that confers onto him a geass, however, a power which allows him to send any command he wishes onto someone's mind, and with that he becomes the terrorist leader Zero, and begins enacting his revenge.
  
  Lelouch and his geass are probably one of the best things about this show. Seeing his resourcefulness and clever strategies play out, trying to follow along with what is being set up and about to happen, the political and social strategies to symbolic chess matches and war fights. Seeing Lelouch's descent and rise, the emotional arcs, there's a lot I'd like to talk about but I'd be spoiling so much just to do that.
  
  
  
  7.Monogatari
  

  

  *tilts neck shaft-style*
  
  I have to confess it's hard to give a summary of Monogatari. I guess the best I can say is "guy solves paranormal monster-based problems from a new girl every couple of episodes" and that'd be it, though you may have guessed there's a lot more to the show.
  
  I think the best part of Monogatari (other than Shinobu, but we'll get to her in a second) is the sheer amount of bizarre and almost abstract ideas it carries with it. As a big fan of anime, philosophy and clever worldbuilding, watching this show feels like I'm being showered with a well-done mesh of these things in just the concepts and ideas floating around. Each is so clever and unique and taps into this kind of world you just don't see elsewhere.
  
  While I wouldn't say every character in Monogatari is especially compelling (Depends on the tastes), when Monogatari hits the nail on the head they really do. There's one character I could talk about, but there are too many spoilers, but I'll just cash in on my promise and talk about what is potentially my favorite character in all of anime, Shinobu. This is an almost-vampire loli and I don't think it'd be a stretch to say that she is iconic enough to have probably motivated waves of Monogatari watchers to have seen the show in the first place because of her. This is a character that just puts everything you'd want in a character and somehow makes it work, adorable, badass, somewhat wise and nice, snarky, cocky, individual yet not entirely distant from the other characters... So yeah, she's one of the things that puts the show so up high for me.
  
  
  
  
  8.Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika
  

  

  Just a typical magical girl show.
  
  Nothing to see here.
  
  Nothing at all.
  
  Wanna make a contract?
  
  Spoilers head...
  Is there anything to even say about a highly praised show that managed to leave me depressed for a week like Nina from fullmetal alchemist? One that spawned an entire subgenre of anime and gets held as the ideal that subgenre strives for?
  
  Well, it's not like public opinion can't be wrong, but in this case, I definitely wouldn't say it is. Madoka Magika manages to leave an impact on a variety of levels, especially as you get to the more tiwsted parts and learn more about Homura by the end. The questions it raises and world it creates are great too, but one thing that really holds it very high for me is definitely the music. It was Madoka that made me take classical music without lyrics more seriously, and even today it's songs still pull my heartstrings as not only are they beautiful, but they utterly fit the characters they represent.
  
  
  
  9.Steins Gate
  

  

  Okarin Okabe is a poor "scientist" who discovers the dead body of a prodigy that came for a lecture, Christina (that's not her name, but fans of the show will know why I used it). After sending an email to his friend reporting on what he saw, he accidentally sends an email to the past, causing events to change to where Christina is no longer dead.
  
  I like Steins Gate. It's entertaining. It has good characters, and the story is top notch. Really, part of me feels like, construction-wise, it's perfect. However, it lacks the "umph" for me. It is consistently excellent, except I don't find any of the characters especially interesting and compelling, the story is good but ultimately mapped out in a lot of ways by the very genre it is inserted in.
  
  I'm putting it on this top 10, because I genuinely think it is a mind-blowingly masterpiece of a show, but it's a bit like having a pristine car that is only that clean because noboy ever went beyond 10KM/H with it.
  
  
  
  10.Ore, Twintail Ni Narimasu
  

  

  The polar opposite of my words for Steins Gate, this is a show I have such a visceral love for that it's hard to really convey it into words, though I am aware that is structurally has a lot of flaws, this anime is just a crazy comedy only really seen in anime. Soji is a boy who loves twintails, he obsessively loves them in fact. One day, an alien race invades Earth, this particular alien race living by extracting "elements" (fetishes, things people just like etc...) from people, and the most powerful of those elements turns out to be, you guessed it, twintails. In order to stop them, Soji is given a ring that transforms him into Tail Red.
  
  The comedy deriven from the sheer silliness and whack of what is happening is really the selling point of the show. The alien invaders each having their own thign they seem to obsess over and be attracted to builds a lot of this comedy and I find it hard to stop laughing at a lot of these, even havign already watched it. It isn't the most intelligent thing out there, but it is a ton of fun.
  
  
  
  Spoiler: Rest of Top 20

  11.World God Only Knows: Old demons have escaped from hell and are using the gaps in people's hearts as a way of hiding in their souls. In order to capture them, new demons partner with humans to find and extract the old demons. One guy in particular, known online as "the king of conquest" signs a contract with one such new demons wh believes him to "never fail to conquer any girl", so she wants him to fill the heart of girls with love and expell the demon that way. Problem is she misunderstood, as he is "the king of conquest" for dating sims, not real life.
  
  12.Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka: After meeting a mysterious girl, Ayumu dies to a serial killer and is brought back as a zombie. He is living his undead life, minding his own business, when he assaulted by a bear creature, which is defeated by a magical girl (not before he gets literally torn in half by her chain saw though). She attempts to erase his mind with magic, but ends up accidentally having her powers sucked up by Ayumu instead. Whacky adventures ensue. PS: Later a vampire ninja that plays the violin "joins the party".
  
  13.Fate: I hesistate in even putting fate in here at all, as there are just so many different versions of fate in the franchise that it's hard to lump them all together. The basic concept of fate centers around the holy grail war, a fight to the death between mages each summoning one "servant", heroic figures from myth, legend and history, which are given special abilities based on their legend. What is the goal of the war? Nothing less than the holy grail, a magical device said to be able to grant any one wish.
  
  14.Zombieland Saga: Sakura Minamoto dies on her way to go to an audition to become an idol. Ten years later, she finds herself ressurected as a zombie and put alongside a team of legendary people (all zombified) with the goal with becoming an idol group to save the prefecture of Saga. And if you are wondering how whatever hilarious hijinks they get into in their attempt to become zombie idols will help save Saga, well-
  
  15.Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha: While unlike Fate Nanoha is one continuous story line, it is still a very large franchise with a lot of variety in it. The way this series waves magical girl matters with space dimension travelling and develops into this fully expansive world to explore, mixing in drama, action, comedy and even a bit of mystery, seeing the characters develop and grow up over time (MC goes from young child to adult over the course of the series) is really one of the things that gives it this spot for me.
  
  16.Hinamastsuri: A psychic girl appears inside a capsule that just pops into existence inside a Yakusa's apartment, and said Yakusa becomes the girl's sorrogate father. A shows that juggles comedy and tragedy in a way many can't, who can bring you to the verge of tears in one half of the episode and make you laugh your lungs out in the other half.
  
  17.Action Heroines Cheer Fruits: In an alternate version of the present, the current "big thing" is action heroines, local "heroines" that put on staged shows for children. A heartwarming sequence of events leads the main cast to come together and join their efforts and respective talents in order to become the local heroines their area was missing. One of the handful of shows that actually managed to make me cry, it really develops the characters in an absolutely masterful way and progresses everything in a realistic and relatable way.
  
  18.Rewrite: Kotarou Tennjoi is a boy with the ability to "rewrite" any part of his body to improve it, who finds himself targeted for reasons unknown by someone after his life. The layers of this show as it develops are honeslty comparable to Steins gate, and it adds an element of action and fantasy not present there. It's really great, but it only unveils it's real glory by the second season so it's hard to say much more.
  
  19.No Game No Life: Sora and Shiro are two gamers who get taken by to another world by Tet, the god of games, after beating him in a game of chess. In this world, all conflict is impossible to resolve through violence or crime: All disputes are to be solved by the medium of games, be that chess, poker, a random bet or any other kind. It's a clever anime with a lot of sheer fun packed into it.
  
  20.Overlord: Not wishing the game he spent his blood, sweat and tears on, Yggdrasil, to go away, the protagonist Momonga (a powerful skeleton wizard) decides to stay until the servers shut down as a final send of. Only when the time comes, he is not logged out, and the world seems much more alive than a game should ever be. Don't be mistaken: More than the protagonist's story, Overlord is the story of this protagonist's presence in the world they were taken to. How the lives and the people of that world are affected and changed, what response they come up in response to this imminent threat. It's not the smartest thing in the world, but it's definitely exciting, badass and awesome, especially if you like a side of worldbuilding and game mechanics accompanying the action.

  My Top Ten Favorite Manga​
  1.Only Sense Online
  

  

  
  Only Sense Online has a bit of everything I like in a manga: Great anime style artwork, a diverse and colorful cast, great comedy, an unnusual premise, conflict and way of developing powers, a splash of genderbend and plenty of game mechanics and worldbuilding. Not to mention the great action and intelligent story telling.
  
  The manga is set mostly in a game by the same name, which the protagonist, Shun, has just joined. The game allows for a whole host of potential combination through it's sense system (which I will not go into detail about now), and Shun managed to pick some pretty terrible ones. In typical anime and manga fashion of course he begins his journey to find the hidden gems of the senses he picked and become the "greatest support character", as he calls it. The gradual and sensical development of Shun's capabilities and relationships with other characters, which in turn make up for the plot in general, the way his presence makes an impact he has to account for in the world (though not explosively large), these things really sell the manga for me. Furthermore, the game created was shown to have some really clever and refreshing ideas, being one of the great inspirations for the VRMMORPG RP I've been working on for a few years, to the point of me saving the chapters I still haven't read for when I get back to working on that.
  
  
  
  
  2.Honzuki No Genkokujou
  

  

  After dying crushed by her beloved books, Motosu Urano finds herself waking up reincarnated into the body of Maine, a fragile little girl in a fantasy world based on Europe...before the printing press. As a result she is deprived from the thing she loves most in the world and sets out to do everything in her power to gain the means to produce books and became a librarian one day.
  
  One of the best things about this manga, and which I think really stands out, is the kind of goal the character has. While it is mundane in nature, the reader is made to understand that the character really loves books that much, thus allowing us to connect and really be invested in this story which manages to entertain, have stakes and real emotional moments for things like a piece of mud not sticking together. We get to see the character try various things and be really proactive, with bits of progress here and there and many failures along with the way. Without wanting to spoil too much, it really is an amazing manga that handles a subject matter that is both unique and masterfully written. Add to that some pretty good art, and you get yourself a manga which almost tops my favorite.
  
  
  
  
  3.29 to JK
  

  

  Yariba Eiji is a coach in the customer service team of an insurance company. Through a series of circumstances, he ends up being called to the owner's office and given the task to date the guy's granddaughter with his job on the line. He finds a workaround by trying to keep her happy simply through helping her become a published author.
  
  Despite the romance implications, the romance is neither the focus nor the big parts of the manga. Instead it is Yariba's experiences and challenges in the cutthroat environment of his company (and the general market) that really make for this manga's strong points. The events are realistic, intense and impactful to a jaw-dropping degree, and you just hold your breath wondering how things will even be resolved. For those that have held jobs before, I can only imagine this will become even more relatable, as the manga seems to have been written by someone who genuinely knew what they were talking about when it came to this.
  
  
  
  
  4.Talentless Nana
  

  

  
  This one is really kind of impossible to describe without some MAJOR spoilers, so I'll just drop my thoughts into some of those.
  
  While the manga may start out as a typical superpower highschool story, it takes a turn when Nana makes her first victim. From there on out the story becomes this thrilling mystery suspense about this powerless girl trying to evade all the broken abilities of her colleages while silently murdering them one by one and trying not to get caught, even though one of them is already on her trail. I am not usually a man of thrillers, but boy of boy is this one exciting. Not only do you get great suspense from the thriller aspect itself,you also get to enjoy the variety of powers and abilities, and can try to follow along with how Nana tries to sneakily deal with each one of them.
  
  
  
  
  5.Boku Girl
  

  

  Mizuki Suzushiro is a boy with very feminine features, often being in fact confused for a girl. However, the confusion becomes the truth as he wakes up as a girl one day, this being the result of the meddling of Loki, goddess of mischief (and a very bored goddess at that).
  
  This is THE manga that got me into the genderbending comedy genre in the first place. It is an outstanding exploration of it's characters and the genderbending aspect, going through twists and turns of the character's interacting with it and the situation gradually seeping into their lives with a new sense of normality. It has great comedy, excellent artwork and as a bonus, this is a manga that actually already has an ending. Once again, pretty great art too.
  
  
  
  
  6.Tensei Shittara Slime Datta Ken
  

  

  While I found the anime itself to be a little lackluster, the original Slime manga is not only one of the pioneers of the new age of isekai (wherein whole groups of otherwolders are brought and their presence has impacted the society of the new world) but a very entertaining manga in it's own right which I look forward to all the time.
  
  When Satoru dies to a stab wound he took for his friend's girlfriend, he finds himself reincarnated into a fantasy world, however it is not as a human being, but as a slime. From that point, the manga enters a phase of discovery and then one of expanding Rimuru's village into a full blown civilization, with the construction of this civilization being a key element of the plot that despite the protagonist's accumulating power, he can't just will away the problems of.
  
  Slime is packed full of fresh and awesome ideas built into the worldbuilding, and I am quite the worlbuilding passionate. Furthermore, it also has nice elements of many different kinds, from action to comedy, and seeing Rimuru and his country growing bit by bit is really quite satisfying.
  
  
  
  
  7.The Other World Doesn't Stand a Chance Against the Power of Instant Death
  

  

  
  Frankly I don't have a lot to say about this manga. I absolutely love the chapters that come out, even if they do so slowly, and if I absolutely love the non-challant way the premise is applied. As a basic summary, a bus full of kids is taken to another world (bus and all) and they are given gifts to become heroes of that world. One of the ones not given a gift, however, turns out to already have a power of his own: That to kill anything he wills, nomatter what.
  
  
  
  
  8.Tensei Pandemic
  Like Boku Girl before it, Tensei Pandemic is a genderbend comedy this time focusing on a genderbending virus which the protagonist, Imamura Hinata, is injected with and later finds out to be highly contagious. While at the first the manga didn't seem like top ten material (not more than a typical manga of this genre), what pulled it to this spot was the way in which, beyond just exploring the genderbend aspect from multiple viewpoints, the manga also managed to begin making it have a purpose beyond itself, as recent plot developments may be making the plot more serious through a different route than the typical emotional one, and I can't wait to see where it will take us.
  
  
  
  
  
  9.Shinshunki Bitter Change
  

  

  
  After Kimura Yuuta falls onto Ootsuka Yui, the two of them find their bodies swapped. While they attempt to find a means to reverse it, they end up unable to do so quickly and realize they may actually have to live the rest of their lives in each other's body. Much like the title implies, this is a really bittersweet manga, and one that has really low tones of comedy, and instead hits me more with it's drama and exploration of characters.
  
  As an extra bonus, it seems the manga just ended, though the slightly disappointing if not confusing ending kinda pulls this manga down for me. But the journey is what really matters and boy what a journey this manga is.
  
  
  
  
  10.Onii-chan is Done For
  

  

  Pure hilarious and adorable entertainment, when a big brother gets genderbent by genius little sister and hijinks ensue. Beyond just finding it absolutely to drop on the ground rolling and laughing hilarious, I also really just adore how stylistically cute the art is for this manga, how expressive it feels and helps to sell the content. Not for everyone, as one does need to have a taste oriented for this sort of story, but for those that do it's definitely a treat.

[dark_little_dragon]

I really enjoy kamisama kiss, the lost song, and inuyasha. All of them just light up my day, and bring a smile to my face, even though they're all vastly different. They also have similar elements to them that I enjoy in the animes I've watched.

 

[Bun]

I’m watching Erased right now on Hulu & it’s amazing!!!!

 

[Count Gensokyo]

Toradora!, Death Note, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Madoka Magica, Haruhi Suzumiya, Love Live!, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san.

 

[AnimeGenork]

My top anime (like, if you asked for 10) is constantly changing, but what won't ever change are my top 3:

1.) Digimon
-I'm overwhelming attached to this. A little too much. Not just because of Tai from Adventure (though he's... he's a big part of it), but because of how funny and relatable the characters are. I have fun watching the different relationships between human and Digimon as they try to save the world--because for some reason, only elementary/middle school kids can do it. GOOD FOR THEM!
2.) Fairy Tail
-Despite the comment above, I'd like to say that Fairy Tail's more than its repeating structure. With each new arc comes new characters, new relationships, and more to learn about every character, and I couldn't be happier with it. Fairy Tail never fails to make me feel better about things, especially when they're all such a fun group.
3.) Pandora Hearts
-Dunno why I'm so attached to this, but it's mindfuck central. Take everything you once thought you knew and toss it out the window, cuz Pandora Hearts is an emotional ride that will leave you a shell of your former self. And I love it. So I'll keep crying and reading it (because the manga's sooooo much better) because it's the type of pain/dose of reality I think I'm better off dealing with.

Other ones I really like:
Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches (even I don't know why), Hyouka, Akatsuki no Yona, Blue Exorcist, My Little Monster, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Fruits Basket, Seraph of the End, Seven Deadly Sins, Black Clover
