Fairy Tail is horny but like… horny in a childish way that isn’t bad for a middle schooler to read A lot of these titles are suitable for kids. I’d recommend Witch Hat Atelier, Blue Period, Your Lie in April, Drifting Dragons, Heavens Design Team, and Cells At Work as all standout works that I’d be comfortable giving to a seventh grader thetoughestbean fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Aug 10, 2022 |

SexyBlindfold posted:Ousama Ranking looks amazing and has some great character moments, but like so many promising shows it kinda comes apart by the final act. Past a certain point the story just can't keep itself from piling more and more twists and bullshit motivations, which is a shame since the initial premise was solid enough. I disagree, I think Ranking of Kings is incredibly compelling from start to finish

Doctor Teeth posted:Looking for good sword & sorcery fantasy manga (or anime I guess but preferably manga). I'm reading Berserk currently, have ready Fullmetal Alchemist and I bought the first volume of Seven Deadly Sins. Preferably not adaptations of journey to the west or warring states stuff (nothing wrong with those, just not what I'm looking for). Preferably more serious than comedic; I don't mind some comedy but I'm not looking for full-on parody, for example. The Heroic Legend of Arslan is a fantasy series that got an manga adaptation by Arakawa Hiromu, the creator of FMA. There’s also Yona of the Dawn if you want a long-running series (forty volumes and still going!) full of very pretty men

chiasaur11 posted:I agree that it's worth a view, but underrated feels like an odd way to describe a show that's almost universally praised, and that managed to claw its way from obscurity to smashing every goal in its DVD box set preorder campaign. I never see people who aren’t goons talk about it! I guess I just don’t have a sense for what’s been well-received beyond the smash hits

PastaBakeWizard posted:What are some good fantasy anime or manga that aren't isekai and don't do the thing where it takes place in video game logic/the character has a stat screen and class abilities like they're in a video game? Big fan of western fantasy books and very into anime and mangoes but I don't really think I've ever seen a classic fantasy setting played completely straight in anime outside of Berserk. Witch Hat Atelier is pretty good and still ongoing. Delicious in Dungeon is fantastic, I echo the other people recommending it, it’s wrapping up soon so will probably end in a few months. Girl From the Other Side uses a European medieval setting but mostly takes place in the wilderness so it doesn’t come up too much. Frieren Life After Journey’s End is a very good read if you like subdued melancholy (also still ongoing) I’m told that Slayers is pretty fun. There’s tons of Korean comics set in a standard European fantasy setting but most of them that I’ve read have been isekai, not good, or a combination of the two.

The Colonel posted:the beliefs of chiaki j konaka, which are unmentionable (wrote a dumb scene in a 2007 horror anime where a guy denies climate change and wrote a digimon tamers play with some dumb attempts at topical jokes about american internet culture filtered through a japanese internet context that changes the meaning of a lot of the buzz words he was using that he admitted was bad and he regretted writing) He’s pretty big conspiracy theorist, he actively follows people who promote far-right beliefs, before, he’s told lies about the covid-19 vaccine—we’ve had this conversation before. I don’t know why goons rush to launder this guy’s reputation

For manga, I’d recommend Doughnuts Under a Crescent Moon, Even Though We’re Adults, and Run Away With Me Girl. Doughnuts and Run Away are short and sweet, although the latter has some depictions of an abusive relationship (I don’t think there’s anything too much for a fourteen year old unless they’re kind of sheltered). Even Though We’re Adults isn’t finished in English yet (seven out of ten volumes have been released) and may require a bit more life experience than a fourteen year old to fully get? But it’s a remarkably kind story about how life is complicated. Our Dreams at Dusk is more about LGBTQ+ people in general with the main character being a gay teen, but there’s prominent lesbian characters and it’s a fantastic four volume series that made me cry. And if you liked Utena I think you should try out Rose of Versailles. Exactly how gay it is a matter of debate but it’s undeniably massively influential to the scene
