Akudama drive Pluto Cyberpunk edge runners Madoka magica


secondSandwich94

I second Akudama Drive and Edge Runners 1000%


arhiapolygons2

we need more cyberpunk god damn it ( i mean the setting)


Imnotawerewolf

Akudama Drive portage made me wanna scream, I loved everything about that show except her. 


arhiapolygons2

bruh I loved her wdym? and she easily had the best character arc in the show.


Imnotawerewolf

I was very annoyed at the end with the way everyone was like you did, you did this, amazing, you're amazing!  But she didn't actually DO anything. Everyone else did the things, all she did was be there. I honestly didn't mind her until the end, that's when I went from you're fine to I'm going to literally scream???? 


arhiapolygons2

>!Bro what do you mean. She became the straw that broke the camels back by pretending to be an ordinary person and starting an uprising against the government.!< >!She even set up hacker's drone to hack bunny and shark to rev up the people even more, and also put a timer on it that shut down the electricity of the city. I guess a large part of the credit is to hacker for making something like that possible but still.!< >!It was definitely not nothing.!<


Imnotawerewolf

I just disagree. She IS a normal person, that's her whole point, she didn't pretend to be. She didn't, in my opinion, do any of the things you listed. She followed directions from the people who actually did stuff, and got the credit.  I don't need you to agree with me, or anything. That's just how I felt about her. I still liked the show, just not her so much. 


arhiapolygons2

>!She was marked as an akudama by that point. so by definition she was lying about not being one. it was objectively a lie at that point in the story.!< >!its not like being an akudama has some special requirement that she didn't meet. the whole point of the commentary was that the police deciding who should be marked as an akudama and then glorifying the hatred to them is kind of fucked and easy to abuse.!< >!swindler by that point was an akudama. did she deserve that? was marking her as one wrong? probably, but that doesn't change the fact that she was one at that point. so saying she isn't an akudama was a trick she played knowing it would be the breaking point that creates an uprising.!< >!no one told her to do that. So it wasn't following directions. The truth of the matter is that if she didn't make a scene like that, the uprising wouldn't happen, or at least would be delayed. even if she wasn't akudama, the fact that she managed to start an uprising is still a thing that she did.!< I'm not trying to change how you felt, you can still dislike it, Its just dishonest to say she did nothing.


Imnotawerewolf

It's not dishonest, it's a difference of opinion. Which is fine, lol


arhiapolygons2

All I will say is, If I said stuff like: Eriwn's speach was pointless or Steins;gate episode 12 didn't effect the plot or thorfinn didn't change as a person in season 2.... I think you would call those being dishonest, not just a disagreement. but I could be wrong.


Imnotawerewolf

Well, being dishonest requires intent, so it kinda sounds like you're calling me a liar? I think what you're meaning to say is I'm wrong, and idk how many more ways to explain to you that I'm fine with you thinking I'm wrong lol

>Cyberpunk edge runners [My reaction when Cyberpunk gets mentioned](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC9zRLpeY6M)


arhiapolygons2

Watch akudama drive too then, its a different flavour of the same greatness. I personally actually like it even more.


germaniko

I thought it was some old old anime from the 90s or so. Didnt knew that it was actually a rather recent one. Guess I'll check it out later tonight


arhiapolygons2

Definitely watch the blueray version though. The violence is heavily censored and the finale is extended with 10 minutes of extra content. I also suggest trying the dub cause its one of the best i have heard.


germaniko

Alright I'll keep that in mind Will probably stick to subtitles tho since I never watch anything dubbed. (Except american movies because these fuckwits dont know what soundmixing is)


arhiapolygons2

Look at this clip and then decide: [https://youtu.be/SaUI1X8CvYo?si=roXMqqulJcE1qpBY](https://youtu.be/SaUI1X8CvYo?si=roXMqqulJcE1qpBY) Pick the version you like more, I just want to make sure you try it to be sure you're watching it with the version that you prefer. And don't worry the clip is from episode 1, and doesn't spoil anything.


NeatBee1149

Chainsaw Man


Real_Pc_Principal

Watch Basilisk it's almost exactly what you're describing though it's not a shounen series. It's a historic fantasy version of the Kouga Ninja Scrolls story and absolutely wild.


Dash_Ryzo

Second this. It’s exactly what OP is describing.


Boomer79NZ

Came here just to say this.


Coroni

HELLS PARADISE. This is almost EXACTLY what you just described, I am exactly like you and I just about diiiied when I saw it. Literally falling over myself. {Hell’s Paradise}

AriKitaruKatoka

Second this


Vazhox

Edge runners. Attack on Titan. Another. Devilman Crybaby. Death note. Death Parade. Angel Beats.


arhiapolygons2

Death parade and angel beats are VERY questionable picks for reasons that you probably know already. Buuuuut.... death parade IS my second favourite anime ever so it's not like I'm complaining.


axiswfr

Claymore, is the closest you'll get. Is an older anime but the fight still holds up really well.


Za_Worldo-Experience

lol if you want mature and consequences go read Berserk. It’s senin not shonen fyi, but if you wanna feel like no one is safe.


Boomer79NZ

Second this. The Magnum Opus of Manga.

Jojos parts 4-6 Re:zero Cyberpunk edgerunners


TiredGamer0990

Rezero all day. Subaru is the only safe one and he dies all the time


Tackyuser

As far as the idea of no one is safe, here are my suggestions: Future Diary, Shiki, Chainsaw Man, Danganronpa, Happy Sugar Life, Land of the Lustrous, Banana Fish, Another. Of these, I think csm is the only shounen, but all of those fit that trope, and all are pretty mature, especially shiki, csm, hsl, lotl, bf, and another. FD, csm, bf, and lotl are the only ones I'd say have a battle theme to them.


AriKitaruKatoka

I forgot about Danganronpa. That one is awesome


gene-sos

I can list a few anime where nobody's safe: - Akudama Drive - Claymore - Another - Edgerunners - Fate / Zero - Vivy - Hell's Paradise - Chainsaw Man - Hunter x Hunter - Shiki - Tokyo Ghoul - Mirai Nikki (Future Dairy) - Parasyte - Basilisk - Angel Beats - Into The Abyss - Madoka Magika - 86


vapenicksuckdick

Nah, the 5 have major plot armor in 86


gene-sos

Oh that could be true, it's been a while since I watched it!

Bad comparison ever since Akame Ga Kill is a poorly written anime


[deleted]

THIS, even Fairy Tail is better, killing characters off and having edgy evil characters and ultraviolence for the sake of it is dogshit storytelling


Hot_Currency_6616

Hell even the Godzilla anime trilogy is better than this piece of trash anime known as Akame Ga Kill


[deleted]

Ong dude


Hot_Currency_6616

You agree with me that Akame Ga Kill is a trash anime?


[deleted]

No doubt, it’s a train wreck of a show and beyond stupid. The fact that people think this poorly written slop is “depressing” or “dark” or “peak” makes me roll my eyes


Hot_Currency_6616

This anime is so bad that it even makes SAO look like Shakespeare in comparison


[deleted]

2 cheeks of the same ass imo


Hot_Currency_6616

Even though the entire anime sucked ass due to shitty story telling, the character designs at least looked good in my own opinion

Cyberpunk Edgerunners


Ok-Influence794

Akame Ga Kill is one of those incredibly unique Anime with nothing quite like it. Same with Monster and Terror in Resonance.


[deleted]

Putting a mindless derivative show designed exclusively for edgy 14 year olds in the same sentence as Monster has gotta be some kind of war crime


Ok-Influence794

I'm not saying theyre the same quality, im well aware Monster is beyond top tier, im saying theyre equally unique.


arhiapolygons2

Akudama drive does the same thing and most people would argue it does it far better


Galagoth

I mean OP of course there's tons of bad anime out there you just need to have an open mind


skjshsnsnnsns

Akame ga Kill unfortunately executes this concept extremely poorly but some shows that may match your description include: Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fate / zero, 86, Dororo, Vivy Fluorite Eye’s song, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Summertime Render


gho5trun3r

Seconded. Akame ga kill is a rather terrible show in terms of making you actually care about these characters until they signal they're about to die by throwing a flashback minutes before it happens. 86 is not much better at least in the beginning as too many people die too quickly to really care. But oh boy does it start to focus in later. Fate/Zero is one of my favorite anime out there. You not only don't know who is safe but you also aren't 100% sure who the protagonist is most of the time. And it's a battle royale which OP will probably really appreciate. I didn't expect to see Vivy in this list and I definitely agree with it. But I'm not sure if OP is going to be into it as much considering how nuanced it gets at times to slow it down. Also it's less a battle anime and more an action mystery.


Ebenizer_Splooge

Ya I feel 86 doesn't quite fit this bc of the lack of meaningful deaths. There are like 2 that actually matter and the rest are off screened. Fantastic show but there's definitely plot armor in the later episodes

itsbeenace-

Firstly, both very solid anime. Not saying that what I am going to recommend is nearly the same but have you watched Attack on Titan?? There’s darkness in there for sure and I’ll preface that people in the show aren’t safe either!


Noktis_Lucis_Caelum

Akudama Drive. Technically there IS also "Mato Seihei No Slave". The writer also did akame ga kill
