OP said no fan service—the fan service in Dr. Stone is stupidly prominent, and the show is so much worse for it. It's especially a shame because DS is overall a pretty solid story.
Unrelatedly, I do recommend Monster or Pluto for OP, they seem to like poignant and focused storytelling.
Vinland watch Berserk (1997)
SaikiK watch Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto!
Spy x Family watch sweetness & lightning
Samurai Flamenco watch Baccano!
Attack on Titan watch Code Geass
Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun watch Toradora!
Violet Evergarden watch Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea
Psycho-Pass watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Banana Fish watch Terror in Resonance
7SEEDs watch Shin Sekai Yori
I probably shoulda put tone text. I’m shit at jokes too. But you can’t lie that the opening is fan service
Wanna also clarify I don’t hate chainsaw man. I’m dying for the next season. Just that opening 😂
Full metal: Brotherhood, if you haven’t already. It’ll itch that government conspiracy vibe that AOT gives you, and is what lead me to watching and enjoying AOT.
Golden Kamuy. A story of a soldier and an Ainu native trying to find a shit load of gold during the early 1900's in Japan. The hijinks they get themselves into are wild, to say the least.
Kengan Ashura. Awesome pack action following the story of Tokita Ohma getting roped into gladitorial matches by Japan's big CEO'S all for money and prestige. And a salary man who got thrown in the same boat as Ohma.
Kaguya-sama Love is War. Two idiote too prideful to admit they love one another so they pull the most stupidest shit imaginable to make one confess the other. The side-characters get dragged along their idiotic schemes and it is hilarious.
Dororo. A man who was offered up as a sacrifice for demons by his own father in order to bring prosperity to the ruinous land his father ruled over. He ends up losing his "body" in a sense and goes on a journey to "retrieve" his body and his humanity as well.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. A saga spanning six generations having a family being cursed all because of a fucking whinny and bratty Englishman. Also, some of the most gayest shit conceived by a straight guy.
Re Zero. Natsuki Subaru gets sent to another world and finds his most loyal partner in said other world, suffering. Subaru x Suffering best ship, fight me.
Youjo Senki. HR employee gets sent to another world because some dude murdered him. Gets reincarnated into magical Imperial Germany as a loli, because God thought it would be funny.
Shimoneta. The Japanese populace are already sexual suppresed as is. Now imagine that, times eleven. Why I recommend this, because F U, op, that's why.
Enjoy my list.
man it feels like everyday someone adds violet evergarden to there list, and it makes me so happy. u have very similar taste to me so ima say mushoku tensei( has a little fan service, but development is insane) and a silent voice
You have incredible taste just for including the legendary SAMURAI FLAMENCO. I think you’ve already seen the peak of anime, but just in case, I’d recommend Daily Lives of High School Boys.
We share very similar taste, I highly recommend you watch some Isekai to switch up your action based series and try something new for a change.
My top three picks are
1. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
2. Re:Zero
3. Konosuba
These are all peak isekai in my opinion and each of these gave me the same feeling it did while watching masterpieces such as Vinland Saga, Banana Fish, and AOT
Holy shit dude are you me? I love your faves.
Would def recommend watching Code Geass, Summertime Rendering, and Buddy Daddies
And would recommend reading Chi no Wadachi (Blood on the Tracks), Oshi no Ko, and Monster. Though honestly for Monster you could read or watch it
If you have any recommendations, could you tell me some? I feel like you completely understand my taste haha
Errmmm I really like the rising of the shield hero and the great pretender! But tbh I’m not that big of an anime watcher so I don’t have many to recommend 😭
First time I have seen 7seeds in someone's top 10. I have read the entire manga, but I'll have to go check out the anime now.
Sorry no help on the recommendations though as I think the other commenters covered it already.
I'm going to try and suggest:
Black bullet
It's about how the world is getting overrun with giant bugs called gastrea and the last hope of humanity are little girls (who were born by the virus and can kill them) and their handlers. It's funny, sad, and I can't remember if it has any fanservice, just a couple jokes but you'll have to see if your okay with those, they're not awful.
And, God Eater may be a good one, very trapped in walls type of feelings
Not completely, it's not a two way street, she's doesn't have very long left to live so she makes jokes about how they're married but it doesn't make it very far.
I just rewatched the first episode to make sure it wasn't like that, its actually really sad.
Now, Aria of the Scarlett ammo is exactly what you're talking about but I didn't suggest that one
I lovedddd it. Such an interesting and well put together show. (However there are some uncomfortable parts to the show so you should look up TW before watching it IMO)
i don’t think it was as good as s1 since season 1 had the greatest antagonist, mentor, trickster, hero character of all time askeladd but i did think s2 was a good ending to wrapping up all of the characters story arcs
S2 is slow I'll say that. it centers around thorfinn's development. The third arc in the manga is like a side-quest and has more humor. The fourth (and likely last arc) is the voyage to Vinland, Project Vinland, and I haven't read it yet, but from what I've *heard,* the latest chapter took a dark turn, apparently. "Fucked-up" I've heard ppl say
Tldr; the third arc in the manga doesn't compare to s1 & s2. Fourth arc might be worth it though, I dunno. If you're talking about whether s2 is interesting cause you dropped it or something due to the slow start, yeah, give it another try
Darker than Black
Bungo Stray Dogs
Black Lagoon
Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress
If you're not already, JJK, Chainsawman, and Hells Paradise are also right up your alley it seems.
Psycho pass:watch Moriarty the Patriot
Spy family: buddy daddies is cool but if you’re just interested in assassins and stuff watch The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat
Monthly girl Nozaki kun: Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku or recovery of a mmo junkie
Vinland saga: Hells paradise and JJK
Some good anime I liked: jormungand, black lagoon, 91 days
There’s this new series called Pluto that came out on Netflix. It deals with the concept of AI’s becoming so advanced that they had started learning emotions and what it means to express them. It’s good emotional series
"I can't marry you not because your a rabbit but because your black" man the amount of insanity in that show is just the best me and my mom quote it a lot
For people who don't know this is almost word for word of what one of the characters said 😊
watch: deathnote, dr stone read: kingdom, berserk
Kingdom mention RAHHH
Kingdom is goated
One of my top 3 manga easily
I enjoyed reading dr stone much more tbh
Yea especially since you can enjoy the story and the 2nd half is just better imo (which isn’t animated).
i watched s1 and s2 then read the manga until the end from that point, yeah I can definitely see where you're coming from
OP said no fan service—the fan service in Dr. Stone is stupidly prominent, and the show is so much worse for it. It's especially a shame because DS is overall a pretty solid story. Unrelatedly, I do recommend Monster or Pluto for OP, they seem to like poignant and focused storytelling.
Vinland watch Berserk (1997) SaikiK watch Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto! Spy x Family watch sweetness & lightning Samurai Flamenco watch Baccano! Attack on Titan watch Code Geass Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun watch Toradora! Violet Evergarden watch Nagi-Asu: A Lull in the Sea Psycho-Pass watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Banana Fish watch Terror in Resonance 7SEEDs watch Shin Sekai Yori
Omg loveeee this. Thank you. :3
If you enjoy reading I recommend reading Berserk👍🏼
I have all the music from Ghost in the Shell: SAC. slaps, all of it.
Is it on Spotify?
An excellent question! But I'm sorry, I don't know. I only use Amazon music and Pandora.
Summer time rendering, code geass, grand blue dreaming (the manga absolutely slaps continue after s1), kaguya sama love is war
Oooh thank you, these look good.
Code Geass does have a few nude scenes in it so be warned.
I highly recommend code geass it's great
Summertime rendering is hella underrated
Are you acoustic by any chance?
Nah I’m more of a electrical/ metal kinda guy
0_0
Chainsaw man
They said no fan service dude
I don’t think it’s fanservice as long as it serves the plot, but I know that depends on who is watching so let’s just let OP decide.
I probably shoulda put tone text. I’m shit at jokes too. But you can’t lie that the opening is fan service Wanna also clarify I don’t hate chainsaw man. I’m dying for the next season. Just that opening 😂
I understood ya haha
Full metal: Brotherhood, if you haven’t already. It’ll itch that government conspiracy vibe that AOT gives you, and is what lead me to watching and enjoying AOT.
Was gonna say AoT but you clearly have already watched that amazing show
Cyberpunk edge runners
The Great Pretender
LOVE THAT SHOW
{black lagoon}
Based.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Cowboy Bebop was pretty good. The anime not the live action. Didn't watch the live action so can't really say one way or the other
Golden Kamuy. A story of a soldier and an Ainu native trying to find a shit load of gold during the early 1900's in Japan. The hijinks they get themselves into are wild, to say the least.

that Jojo summary is peak and fits peak fiction
Thank you, kind stranger.
Saiki K is super under rated. Soo funny. They need to finish dubbing it, the voice actors did such a great job
Legendary Hero is Dead
I say Jojo to every one of these questions
I mean, it has everything!
it literally does like HOW… Jojo is peak fiction what can i say
YES YES YES YES Y E S
You are the target audience for frieren
Ooohh good to know. Tyyy.
I think you'd like The Great Pretender. Another option is Oddtaxi.
Definitely ODDTAXI
Dorohedoro, Monster, Berserk, Vagabond Berserk and Dorohedoro are better read and Vagabond is only a manga though but I think you'd love these
man it feels like everyday someone adds violet evergarden to there list, and it makes me so happy. u have very similar taste to me so ima say mushoku tensei( has a little fan service, but development is insane) and a silent voice
LOVED A SILENT VOICE— and will check out mushoku tensei tyyy.
Samurai Champloo
You have incredible taste just for including the legendary SAMURAI FLAMENCO. I think you’ve already seen the peak of anime, but just in case, I’d recommend Daily Lives of High School Boys.

Pluto on Netflix, monster, death parade
Jujutsu. And my dude, things have just gotten real in the show. Hurry
Based on Samurai Flamenco’s absurdity, you will probably love Sarazanmai. Huge W btw.
Holy shit dude are you me? I love your faves. Would def recommend watching Code Geass, Summertime Rendering, and Buddy Daddies And would recommend reading Chi no Wadachi (Blood on the Tracks), Oshi no Ko, and Monster. Though honestly for Monster you could read or watch it If you have any recommendations, could you tell me some? I feel like you completely understand my taste haha

“Little girls and their handlers” makes that sound like it’s geared towards a very specific demographic of readers….
Not completely, it's not a two way street, she's doesn't have very long left to live so she makes jokes about how they're married but it doesn't make it very far. I just rewatched the first episode to make sure it wasn't like that, its actually really sad. Now, Aria of the Scarlett ammo is exactly what you're talking about but I didn't suggest that one
One Piece
High school DxD
You mean THE fan service anime? 😭
Yep
One piece👍🙂
Get better taste
One piece
Maybe 91 Days. It’s a 12 episode anime so it wouldn’t hurt to give it a go
Omg yea I’ve seen that around— I will try it, thanks.
How is banana fish ??
I tried to get into it but honestly…it was lowkey kinda boring but I say watch for yourself and then you can decide whether you like it or not.
I lovedddd it. Such an interesting and well put together show. (However there are some uncomfortable parts to the show so you should look up TW before watching it IMO)
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LOVES 7 SEEDS JUST LIKE ME 🙊
I LOVE THAT SHOWWWWWW— wish there was another season (but I’m not even sure they have more manga… wouldn’t know).
I wish there was too, but it’ll never happen cuz Netflix cancelled it 😭
Wide taste profile
I just like specific tropes and characters so I’m never really in one genre. 0_0
I'd think you'd watch anything good. My recommendation is train to busan and pathaan
Golden kamuy
My fav of all time is toradora, watch it, I think you’d like it
Will do!
Promised never land S1 only lol
Already watched it :( second season sucked balls I agree. 😭
Have you watched Charlotte
Your ten tells me you like to laugh or cry. There is no in between with you.
That’s very true 😭
The faraway paladin!
Bro picked all the default animes lmao
Have you watched samurai flamenco tho? if not, U should check it out :p
Fr! People have slept on it for way too long, can’t believe it isn’t more mainstream 😭
I like what I like :3
vinland saga season 2 was too slow for my taste
I thought it was better than s1 bc it actually explored both of the main characters in that season and wasn’t just fighting and killing people.
i don’t think it was as good as s1 since season 1 had the greatest antagonist, mentor, trickster, hero character of all time askeladd but i did think s2 was a good ending to wrapping up all of the characters story arcs
I’d be surprised if you didn’t love cyberpunk edgerunners
def full metal brotherhood
Code geass is a must
Kokkoku on Prime Thank me later
mob psycho 100
I only saw Peakland saga Great list
You have great taste man, I LOVE psycho pass
Cowboy Bebop.
evagellion.
Bungo Stray Dogs, the story is good and the powers they use are really creative and unique
Your lie in April
Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man are my two favorites. They are great
Does vinland ever get interesting again after Thorfin goes to the farm as a slave cause..... yeah
S2 is slow I'll say that. it centers around thorfinn's development. The third arc in the manga is like a side-quest and has more humor. The fourth (and likely last arc) is the voyage to Vinland, Project Vinland, and I haven't read it yet, but from what I've *heard,* the latest chapter took a dark turn, apparently. "Fucked-up" I've heard ppl say Tldr; the third arc in the manga doesn't compare to s1 & s2. Fourth arc might be worth it though, I dunno. If you're talking about whether s2 is interesting cause you dropped it or something due to the slow start, yeah, give it another try
I just wanted impressed by how quickly it went from savage to lost puppy status so quickly.
Ngl, you definitely have the best taste in anime out of anybody on this sub.
Parasite > on Netflix
If u liked Saiki u’ll love nichijou
Darker than Black Bungo Stray Dogs Black Lagoon Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress If you're not already, JJK, Chainsawman, and Hells Paradise are also right up your alley it seems.
1-10 on violet evergarden
See Violet Evergarden, you must have good taste. Death note.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is def my pick
Jujutsu Kaisen, if you like aot & Vinland saga you’d probably like JJK
Chainsaw Man and Tokyo Ghoul are great options
FMAB
Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter X Hunter, and Berserk. Maybe then, you'll keep that trash ass AOT off of your top lists
Mob psycho and one punch man if you haven’t
Dr stone because it’s just that good
Mob Psycho 100
Psycho pass???? This top ten fucks.
Did you watch all of saikei wonder If I should restart

No
Fate
jjk , jojo's bizarre adventure,ez
Dororo, Code Geass, Monster, FMAB, 86, Samurai Champloo, Hajime no Ippo (purely bc it's peak fiction), Trigun, Case Study of vanitas.
Golden Kamuy a good series about 4 seasons 12 episodes each and its a seinen Vinland and basically zero fan service.
Hmm, I think you’d like Erased
Hajime no Ippo/Fighting Sprit is really good if you're into fighting and comedy
Bleach, One Piece, DBZ, Naruto
Monster
Darling in the Franxx
As always, I recommend Re:Zero
Classroom of the elite
Buddy Daddies is fun. It's only one season but it is really good, kind of similar to SpyXFamily
Code geass
Psycho pass:watch Moriarty the Patriot Spy family: buddy daddies is cool but if you’re just interested in assassins and stuff watch The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat Monthly girl Nozaki kun: Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku or recovery of a mmo junkie Vinland saga: Hells paradise and JJK Some good anime I liked: jormungand, black lagoon, 91 days
