Are there any animes or TV shows you can’t stop recommending?

    Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. For me, it’s the perfect anime. An amazing blend of action, narrative, great characters, and an extremely good and satisfying ending.

    Archer is a great adult animation. I find it so goddamn funny.

    Bojack Horseman is probably has the best fictional depiction of depression ever. Also has plenty of funny moments.

      What did you find satisfying about the ending? While a big improvement over FMA, it didn’t quite wow me

        In comparison it’s wildly different, and some of the comments to make are massive spoilers. I will say the difference in “sacrifice” is much better, as the first betrays some built in concepts, treats one of the childhood friends as disposable, and doesn’t really let the main character grow.

        In brotherhood they call out some of what I said, plus many more characters have much more enjoyable personalities, even some of the pieces of shit like Kimbley(at least he had principles, insane as they were). I like the homunculi better too, even if they were trying to go for a more emotional and artsy thing. Their father is also has far better reasons in Brotherhood for being absent.

        I feel like the first anime tried to tug the heartstrings and/or focus solely on the brother relationship too much. I also hated what was done to Rose for what appeared to be no reason but to make things more emotional.

          What’s funny is that I saw the first FMA years ago and forgot what it was about. When I saw Brotherhood I was getting weird flashbacks while watching it…

          At the end of it … Brotherhood was buried into my mind and I can’t stop recommending it to everyone. I can’t even remember much about the first anime.

          I’d love to critique it against the first but I can barely remember the first. I think the first part was pretty close or something, but yeah.
