      Spy Family is a good one to try. Its about a make shift family between a spy, an assiasn and a young kid who can read minds. They all have to keep their true identities secret from eachother in fear of losing their cover family.

      Good from the start, good in the middle and on track to be good in the end.


      A lot of anime is goofy and absurd and you have to roll with it. Some good ones will have a seemingly goofy premise but end up dark as hell and keep you up at night.

      If you want somethibg more relaxing and less time commitment, the Studio Ghibli movies are good. The art and stories are great. Most of the movies don’t have a predominant villain, but are more about personal challenges and the characters growing to overcome whatever the outside problem is. “My Neighbor Totoro”, “Ponyo” and “Spirited Away” are great examples of this.

      “Castle in the sky” is fun. If you like action spy/theif type movies “Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro” is a good one from the 70’s.

      Like american/western shows, there’s a lot of garabage mixed in, and sometime even the popular stuff might not be to your taste. (I never got into dragon ball, despite it being one of the most popular anime)

      Sorry didnt mean to make a long post, just started typing ideas…

          Yeah, I meant to give one maybe two ideas…then I went overboard. Sorry about that. I did at least avoid anything that took 7 seasons to “get good”.

            Don’t worry. Not OP, but I think he was just joking in the context of this comic. You obviously love those and liked your recommendations

              Not too worried, but appricate the reply.

              I added a lot of text to each thing when I read someone else say something like “recomendations without giving any reason to watch are annoying”, and I thought good point!

            I do that too, but with tech stuff. Someone asks me about something, and next thing I know I’ve written three paragraphs.
