There's no anime of it (which is a crime), but if you want interesting settings and world-building, Dorohedoro is king of the hill, no doubt.

Yeah it's great. It's just not a very... coherent work. But treat it like a series of hilarious one-shots with some occasional callbacks and it's fine.

Are there ever bad series with a good ending? (aside from a swift one)

Gonna comment on two i've actually (partially) read: Disagreeing with above on Hajiotsu, it's a bad execution on an already dumb gimmick. P. much a waste of time. As for Hohzuki Island, i'd give a tentative Read It. It's by the guy who did Erased, but back in the days when he still needed to cram in fanservice to get published. It deals with similar themes as Erased (kids and bad things happening to them), but on a more traditional horror than psychological twist. Thankfully, from what i remember the fanservice is mostly kept to the busty teacher, but if memory serves a little fanservice won't scare you off anyways.

It also had a fantastic first ending. It takes balls to just repeat your last joke verbatim, and they pulled it off and made it even funnier in the process.

Are you really comparing the developments and successes of a weak sheltered princess to what the literal superhuman mystical beings around her can do

That makes her strides just seem even greater though, since her reference points are so high up. It might be a cheap trick, but it works very well.

Throw me in as another one who's never actually watched the show, i just read the manga and based my opinions solely on that.

Dorohedoro has one of the best realized settings around, and is by (i think) a former assistant of Nihei so the environments are gorgeous in a grimy sort of way.

You're probably looking for Sakamoto Desu Ga, or Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto. It's a graceful tale about Bayonetta's son bringing joy, wonder and enlightenment to today's youth. Not sure if it's light-hearted, but it's either hilarious or emotional, depending on how you choose to look at it.

Wark Say posted:What's the closest there is for an anime about irredeemable scumbags played for cringe comedy? Sorta like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I've been rewatching that show and I was wondering if there's something like it. I already watch Gintama, which contains plenty of jerkfaces, but nobody in Gintama is as reprehensible as The Gang (or at least that lasts as long). Grand Blue should kinda scratch that itch, if the upcoming adaptation is any good. One of my fav chapters is the band of boys going to absurd lengths to conspire against one of their own getting laid. See if this stand-alone chapter entertains you (no real prior knowledge required): https://mangadex.org/chapter/10534

Torquemadras posted:There's another notable one where I don't know the name; it took place in a village where people are starting to have murderous delusions, and there's multiple iterations with the same cast, each time someone else going mad. Dunno about the rest you mentioned because i think i never finished it, but this sounds like Higurashi no naku koro ni (localized to When They Cry, i think). It's structured into like 8 different arcs or something. The anime aged pretty badly, cuz it was done by a budget studio i think

There's nothing quite like Dorohedoro unfortunately, aside from maybe the new series by the same author, but it's only been 10 chapters or so and it's a little early to say. Dungeon Meshi builds world and characters extremely well, but it's "just" a very thoughtful and skilled approach and lacks the uniquely bizarre charm from Dorohedoro. Has an anime, i think?? Heterogenous Linguistics is an interesting puzzle since the protagonist constantly has to fight various language barriers to understand the people and world around him, which gives it an alluring mystery feeling. The Golem Dad manga whose name i forgot also has nice worldbuilding mainly done through art instead of textdumps, and it's a very diverse fantasy world, too.

MJP posted:I'll throw out a recommendation in the same vein: My Perfect Girlfriend. It's got a dynamic between the lead characters that's extremely close to a very real, Not Stereotypical Manga Japanese couple. They make bad jokes, get cutesy, and really seem to enjoy each other's company without being lovey-dovey. It's so real. That's because it's sorta auto biographical. It's the mangaka's exaggerated tale of his life with his girlfriend.

I was about to say that most Isekai probably fit the bill, especially anything with some variation of "slow life" in the title, but yea, the Eminence in Shadow one is a good fit. He's trying to be the all-controlling fate-steering "shadow behind the throne" figure and the world and all its inhabitants go to great lengths to interpret everything in his favor.

Watched Wakfu with subs (didn't remember enough French from school to make it through) and it was pretty great. The main villain goes loving ham in French, it's a sight to behold. It takes a while before the animators get a real handle on their toolkit, but when they do, oh boy. They can have some fun. https://i.imgur.com/W9kxTvp.mp4 They somehow managed to make me give a poo poo about a three episode long soccer torunament, too. So i guess that's another recommendation from me. HenryEx fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Apr 29, 2023 |

But are there any series where someone decides being a kept (wo)man isn't so bad and just rolls with having a crazy gf This is almost literally the premise of "My girlfriend gives me goosebumps", but it's manga only, not anime.
