So what i want here are recomdations for anime that are weird af. What i would consider to be the ‘anime’ anime. Like this weird whatewer tf it actually is in thumbnail link ( my dear friend nokotan for those that dont want to clik on them ). Some other good example would be gintama.
asobi asobase is, imo, one of the funniest weird anime ever made
aho girl (be forewarned the anime ends on the creepiest fucking part of the manga)
azumanga daioh (be forewarned there is anime bullshit here as well, different time)
hinamatsuri (definitely well worth it to read the manga, which is one of the funniest I’ve ever read. It’s so good. The anime is great but it only got 1 cour which is an abridged version of the first 9 volumes. There’s 10 more and the story just keeps getting better), I felt like it was a bit of a spiritual successor to ranma which is also a good suggestion
Imo nichijou isn’t very good, though the animation is excellent. City was a much better manga and I’m excited to watch the anime for that. People love it though so it’s worth checking out
I genuinely enjoyed nokotan but the above picks all destroy it imo
Nichijou has a pretty safe spot in my top 10. It very much depends what your sense of humour is like.
I’m not saying it’s bad, clearly many many people like it. It’s exactly what you say. For some people it clicks and for them it seems to be a borderline masterpiece, but for me I was just bored
I get it because there’s so many people right now that endlessly shit on nokotan, and when asobi asobase aired there was a similar contingency of people who loudly moaned about how stupid it was and how stupid people were for liking it and I just thought those people were dumb. I still think those people are dumb because I can understand why someone would like nichijou, I just didn’t
Absolutely, differing tastes exist. Just wanted to share an alternative perspective for anyone wondering whether nichijou is worth a try :)
