Deep (Unique) Anime you watched
What’s an Anime that you watched, got instantly addicted to, didn’t have a single boring episode, and when you finished it you empty and sad because it’s over? I felt this exact feeling for some animes, especially Oregairu SNAFU or Sao . I think what I liked about oregairu so much was learning so much about the characters and it was all very emotional and deep. Also heavy on the “one of a kind” thing about oregairu. Not particularly limiting myself to romance, but some animes that match the description ?

It felt like the only available outcome for the setting. Anything less would be doing an injustice to everything the story established.
Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing about the story, but a small part of me still hoped \[GLT\]>!they might find some way to survive once they reached the top. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. They were stranded with no food or water, and there was no way they would have had the strength to climb back down. The moment I saw that rooftop, I knew it was over for them.I know that if I were in their place, I would have succumbed to despair. And yet Chito and Yuuri choose to have a snowball fight and pass away peacefully in their sleep. It was a beautiful, yet heartbreaking ending.I can’t help but wonder, what if they hadn’t climbed those stairs? What if they had given up on reaching the top? Because of the actions of irresponsible adults, these two children are forced to face the end of the world alone, paying for a check they never even wrote. I know I’m huffing an infinite amount of copium, but I just wanted them to survive. Still, the fact that this series lives rent-free in my head and continues to occupy my thoughts is a testament to the Mangaka's skill.!<
Sorry for not paragraphing, the formatting spoilers is really annoying
I honestly couldn't agree more. \[GLT\]>!I want them to give up on reaching the top every time I reread it. I want to see them grow up and find a nest they can turn into a long term home like they dreamed of. But thats the point of telling their story. This world isn't on the brink of collapse, its dead. Long dead. The war that started the collapse was ancient to people who are ancient to Chii and Yuu. And I don't know a story that does a better job making the reader feel total helplessness and regret over those foolish battles. Its not the girls fault, they're just the last victims. I think the author could have strung it along with more chance encounters with other survivors to give us more time with the girls and even more world building, but once they meet the adult Nuko, telling them they are the last living humans on the planet, the story has a timer on it before it gets tedious. And even if they did find a safe place with a lifetime of food, that would be a hollow victory. They can't continue the human race, and one of them will eventually get sick or injured. I'm happier that they go together happy in completing their journey, than one having to survive without the other.!<
this one hits hard
as a manga reader, this is fricking peak
Kiznaiver?
Bungou Stray Dogs?
Classroom of the elite?
Tomodachi Game?
(I haven't watched the others, so yeah...)
Absolute must watch.
Another one is I guess Darling In The Franxx, I binge watched this, cried at the last episode.
Plastic Memories
The Quintessential Quintuplets (Binged this, not satisfied with the ending, but I've grown to accept it)
I don't know why but I've felt empty after finishing Fruits Basket
Oregairu
The quintessential quintuplets is one of the best harem I've ever seen, even tho I dislike it so much, I guess I shouldn't watch harem anime, cuz I always want mc to end up with the most logical and romantic option he has.
I think oregairu executed the love triangle perfectly. Even though I was happy for Hachiman, I felt bad for yui. But Nothing can be done. The anime is just so good.
I have to know who your favorite girl is for you to say that. Mine is \[QQ\]>!Nino.!<
Despite being able to carry a strong mentality, protagonist is pretty much navigating the social life, gradually learning to trust in others. Many people who watched this series all thought the anime was going to be all about action, but later turned out to heavily focus on mental health and emotional growth. As someone who grew up with social anxiety issues as a kid, and still often faces it today, I wish I watched this anime growing up. For it taught me effectively about social interaction better than my shit family and local mental health resources ever did.
Even after having an all-time favorite game series such as Persona 5 Royal that left a huge impact before with regards to having a powerful "will of rebellion" / iron will, that anime this year took emotional development to an entire different level for me. Where it understands that emotional growth is a gradual process, so for the protagonist it takes a bit to build up to the point where he is in the manga currently.
It's the anime that hot me the deepest.
From what i understood and read it is trying to visualize the challenges and struggles one would face at the end of highschool and leaving for uni etc
For me it is the struggle of searching escape from reality and the need of the phantastical while also being bound in reality and
It is supposed to be a visualization of maturing at the end of highschool and the obstacles you will face.
And i must say i did understand some, but not all episodes where clear because the art style is pretty trippy sometimes
I’m a storyteller, and I think a great deal about stories and their place in our society. Zenshu is an anime about that and it got to me in a deep way. I also resonated strongly with the MC — I was going through something similar at the time with a work project and I felt her struggle.
Spice and Wolf is also very unique, both the original and remake, and has some of the best written characters in a romance that I've encountered. I don't know another show where both the original and remake were so well received and each stand on their own.
I've seen so many shows that hit hard at the end or are more than you expect, I'm not sure which others to list. 86 was a surprise even if it follows the typical Gundam plotline (same with Code Geass). Ghost in the Shell SAC is an absolutely brilliant foray into the philosophy of technology but disguised as a detective procedural, I felt empty and reflective after many episodes. Another surprise was Banished From The Hero's Party, I decided to Live a Quiet Life. And while that sounds like the most generic Isekai trash it's actually a very compelling romance.
There are plenty of tearjerker animes that set out to make you emotional, but the above ones just kind of do it through excellent storytelling, art, and music.
That anime is so special to me and I haven't found anything like it since. It is such a beautiful, heartwarming watch.
NGE. Are we that far out, nobody mentioned it?
Hyouka. A really nice “children’s detective show”, so no-one gets killed, but there is still a Sherlock Holmes style investigation. It’s split in multiple arcs, but no murder of the week. The character development is superb.
Utena. If you can survive the 90s animation, it’s brim full with deep sense, and gets deeper as you keep digging.
Runruoni Kenshin and Cowboy Bebop are just that good. Trigun, too.
Since people are recommending 86 and Mirai nikki as deep, Clannad (both seasons), Suzumiya Haruhi, Kaguya-sama, or Oregauiru would also suffice.
Shin Sekai yori
Bloom into You
Maebashi Witches
Kill La Kill
The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity
Takopis original sin
ID:Invaded came out roughly at the same time and was a similarly crazy ride
Mushishi is one that I only remember fragments of, but it keeps coming back to me from atmosphere alone
Seishun Buta Yarou
Kyousogiga
-Blue Period
-Sangatsu no Lion (emotionally complex and hard-hitting)
-Vinland Saga (particularly Season 2)
-Barakamon (comedy, but has hard lessons to teach people about coming to terms with adulthood)
-86 (complex themes)
-Mob Psycho (complex themes)
Some heavy topics in there, but it's deep, unique in the story and world.
Land of the Lustrous (Houseki no Kuni)
The Garden of Sinners (Kara no Kyoukai)
Maison Ikkoku
Gintama
If you liked Oregairu, you'll probably like Saekano.
its about a guy who is a professional shogi player. you dont even need to know anything about shogi to enjoy it tho. its about the drama that ensues when you have to work hard to make the only thing youre good at work out.
