Dita is an adorable character - esp the way she insists on calling Hibiki "Mr Alien". Keep watching - the 2nd half is just as good, as is the ending.

If you like Vandread, you'd probably like Dual Parallel Trouble Adventure, and the assorted Tenchi series'. They have a similar vibe. Sci-fi isekai mecha aventures, with some fun and silly mixed in.


Should've clarified that I'm halfway through the first season. ^^; But yeah, it is quite adorable. And I really should get back to it soon.

Haven't seen Trouble Adventure yet, but the first Ryo-Ohki OVA I've seen almost all the way through to the end (I've gotten as far as the episode where Mihoshi is first introduced and I think I've seen the fifth episode but I don't remember if I have; it's not committed to memory as well as the first four episodes).


I wasn't sure how far you'd actually gotten into Vandread specifically, so I also specifically avoided any spoilers - esp cos I can't really remember what happened when.

Mihoshi's another good character who's a funny combo of cuteness and strength.

Ryo-Ohki OVA 1 Ep 5 is where the excitement ramps up.

I've heard a lot of good things about Berzerk. Is it as good as the hype?

I enjoyed it.

Did you mean Miura's manga? No, I haven't read that yet, but I'm definitely interested in it. It's been on my radar for a while now.

It's a shame he's dead now...

It's actually the 1997 anime adaptation I had in mind, based on that manga.

I didn't realize it was that old. :lol:

Haven't seen the 1997 adaptation at all, but I'm sure it has to be better than the 2016 adaptation by a country mile... Should probably whet my appetite on that adaptation before I spring for the original manga and see how I feel about it.

Also decided to start taking a peek at Ah! My Goddess. It seems to be a pretty cute series too.

Ah! My Goddess, was short, but fun.

Not an anime, but the manga "War of Greedy Witches" is really fun.

Basically a bunch of history's most famous and infamous women throughout history like Joan of Arc, Wu Zetian, Tomoe Gozen, Elizabeth Bathory, Mata Hari, Mary Read, Himiko, Cleopatra, and many, many others are recruited by the Demon Queen Agrat Bat Mohlat at their time of death to be ressurected in their prime as powerful witches who fight to the death with magic and weapons in a battle arena where the survivor wins the ultimate prize and the ones who die have their souls destroyed forever meaning no heaven, hell, or reincarnation.

Its pretty cool. 8)

I guess what I like the most about anime is action, humor, & storyline. Cute/hot women are a plus as well, with cute I mean personality more than looks. I find some animes to be kind of slow & boring.

I'll add four more to my list :arrow:
My Hero Academia
Full Metal Alchemist

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure~ A potential major problem with this one is that after the second season the powers were majorly changed & there was a huge plothole with how the first season ended. It's like the first two seasons & the three afterwards were in alternate universes with no explanation.

RWBY~ This one is a bit different. It may have been an older web series, I'm not sure. The episode lengths varied a lot & the earlier eps were usually a lot shorter but there's lots of eps. The graphics are computer generated & they were laughably bad in the beginning like tables & chairs were missing legs. Movements kind of buffered during fights & such. The graphics gradually majorly improved as the show went on though. One thing I found majorly kewl is that lots of bladed weapons had a secondary feature of being guns including a giant scythe. A major problem is that the last season was very different suddenly taking a break from the storyline & the storyline was very up in the air. I really wish there was one more season to wrap things up.

If you asking for such stuff at least share your taste, genres or themes you are looking for.

From general advice, from recent stuff i would recommend Dorohedoro, Dr. Stone and Golden Kamuy.

I think any cute girls doing cute things/slice of life anime are beginner friendly. They are light hearted and aren't lore-heavy stories. I love Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid but there are some problematic and ecchi tropes if those bother you. So, my other recommendation that is less naughty would be the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō: Quiet Country Cafe OVA's. Both episodes are slow paced stories and star an android girl running a coffee shop in a post apocalyptic and peaceful Yokohama.

I forgot to mention "The Helpful Fox Senko - San." The one wholesome anime with the fox wife.
