Manga & Anime Recommendations

Anyone have any cute Slice of Life manga Romance preferred, but not necessary.

I just gave up on a manga that was a cute romance, but then they dropped a drama bomb for no reason, so I'm annoyed and want a replacement.

@Discar You read Bokuben?

How about A Place Further than the Universe? I've heard it's quite the fluffy, wholesome entertainment.

Well, there's Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san for romance, and Yotsuba to! for non-romance.

Anyone here know a harem manga where one of the girls give up on the MC and actually has a developed relationship with another character. I have literally only seen it once and it's in Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa, but even then it's never actually shown. I kinda want to read something where a female character act as something else than a satellite around the main character and disappears if she goes out of orbit.

Not quite a harem manga, but somewhat romance-with-multiple-characters-but-really-slice-of-life, Kobayashi Dragon Maid; though said character only had a relatively short infatuation with the main character before giving up due to the adamant demeanor of the primary Love Interest of the main character (downplayed, really a one-sided romance, but the shoe fits). Afterwards, she cohabitates with them and finds a different Love Interest, while remaining part of the story.

Otherwise, not much-I could give you a list of manga where more than one, or all, of the Love Interests make good and decide to share, but that does not seem like what you are after.

Well, I didn't really expect it to actually exist since Harem manga means the girls are obsessed with the MC even if the latter doesn't reciprocate, but I was still hoping one would exist.

Slice of Life manga...

Well there's Musoku ga Kawaite or something like that about a demon mother tried to raise her child and then there's Gakuen Babysitters for extra cuteness. We also have WWW.Working

Personally, I'd appreciate that list.

For Manga where there is actual romantic resolution, with clear cut, unambiguous Polyamory endings? As opposed to No Romantic Resolution, ambiguities or various cop outs? Obviously HUUUUUGE spoilers for all of these works: Umi No Misaki, Maga Tsuki, Fujimura-kun Mates, Kanokon, a questionable consent version in Omamori Himari, and one without a page here, the short, 5 1/2 chapter Futari to Futari. Those are ones I have personally read.

Saw this thread a decided to share this haul I found.

i like to recommend this manga "Aoi" - Hikaru ga Chikyuu ni Itakoro but...it basically a manga that was made to promote the light novel and stop after cover the first volume, but i guess i good enough cause t hooked me and made me want to read the light novel( the novel title is Hikaru ga Chikyuu ni Itakoro, translate as When Hikaru was on earth). It about a school prince/harem king Hikaru who suddenly died mysteriously at the start of the story but his ghost still wander the world, ghost Hikaru ask the main character, Koremitsu, a school delinquent to fulfill the promise Hikaru had made with his love interests. The characters in the story all base on the character in The Tale of Genji( Hikaru is Genji). The story is quite enjoyable, the characters is likeable and it have quite good comedy and harem antics.

Okay, there's a good anime I liked...but for the LIFE of me I cannot remember the title, and it is driving me freaking insane. It's an anime about a girl, whose father is working on a..train, or an engine or something? And she has dreams about a fantasy world, and she transitions between the two, and it gets REALLY twisty in the end. And i just want to SCREAM because I forgot the title!

Help, please? I'm sorry if this is a bit off thread.

That's not ringing any bells for me- do you remember where or when you watched it? That could help narrow it down.

You can use You Know That Show for this kind of things.

I'm searching for sporty animes, any recommendation?

While neither are really traditional sports, you might check out Gundam Build Fighters (the original, not the sequels Gundam Build Fighters Try or Gundam Build Divers) or Girls und Panzer. Both are entirely Sports Anime in terms of structure and plot beats, but the "sport" in question is "building Gundam model kits then battling with them" and "tank combat", respectively.

Build Fighters is an utterly typical shonen sports anime, but really well executed in general, with solid characters, excellent action, and a surprisingly good soundtrack. It's also rife with Gundam references, but they're more like bonus in-jokes for existing fans than necessary to understand the show. The sequels, Try and Build Divers, are sadly not nearly as good, though.

Girls und Panzer I haven't actually seen myself, but I hear almost universally good things about. It's half sports anime and half "cute girls doing cute things" anime, where the thing in question is participating in their high school tank combat club. Which is apparently an exclusively feminine pursuit in the Girls und Panzer universe. Probably best not to think about it too hard.

GBF is available for free on the official Gundam Youtube channel, and GUP is on Crunchyroll, Hulu, Hidive, and VRV.

Ao no Kanata Four Rhythm is another unusual sports anime. Said sport (called Flying Circus) is like Quidditch meets baseball 20 Minutes into the Future.

Holy crap, that sounds awesome.

That sport being named Flying Circus is indeed quite amazing.

, : If you think the sport's name sounds awesome, just listen to the show's soundtrack! It's not often that something so obscure has this much densely packed greatness.

For more conventional sports anime - on a scale from sport-focused to character-focused - I'd recommend Haikyuu (volleyball) and the currently airing Run With The Wind (long distance running), Ping Pong (ping pong), and 3-gatsu no Lion (shogi).

I second Ping Pong, which is in my opinion the most remarkable sport anime. But I wouldn't call 3-gatsu no Lion a sport anime. I wouldn't argue that shogi isn't sport (I would consider Hikaru no Go as a sport manga/anime) but this is a slice of life in which characters have to deal with issues that are mostly unrelated to the protagonist playing shogi.

That being said, the anime is among my favorites.
