    Hi, elderly rookie anime-liker here: the version on Crunchyroll is a side-story from 2020. Do you perhaps know where I can watch the 2011 version?

    And perhaps a bit forward, but do you have some reccomendations for me?

    I watched and liked (order of watchdate):

    Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Steins Gate Demonslayer (started with mugen train movie with my daugter, binged back and following) Chainsaw Man One Punch Man Mushi-shi Made in Abyss Way of the househusband Jujutsu Kaisen and while not anime per se Blue Eye Samurai (binged this weekend with husband and daughter)

    And I recently watched Suzume wich made me cry.

    thanks in advance!

    (sorry for typos, cat really wants to sit on the keyboard.)

      Hey. If you want you can also ask in !anime@lemmy.ml

      If you want to find where to watch check this meta list FREE MEDIA HECK YEAH Click on one with the star. Use ad block like “ublock origin” for better watching experience.

      For films I reccomend “your name” “spirited away” “princess mononoke” “howls moving castle” “my neighbour totoro” “akira” “ghost in the shell”

      For TV shows I reccomend:

      • similar to mushishi: “girls last tour” “kinos journey”
      • action: “jujutsu kaisen” “mob psycho”
      • tragedy: “cyberpunk: edgerunners”
      • slice of life: “miss kobayashi dragon maid” “spy x family”
      • comedy “nichijou”
      • mystery: “odd taxi” “planetes”
      • avan-garde “melancholy of haruhi suzumiya” not great but culturally significant. Especially season 2.
      • drama “violet evergarden” <- real tear jerker

      Depending on your tolerance on sexual themes “mushoku tensei”. The main character has perversion as a major character trait and behaves acordingly. It is off putting for majority of people but defienetely worth a watch for experienced anime weeb.

      It’s western animation, but I just finished Pantheon and thought it was an absolute blast.

      Gurren Lagann if you like it truly over the top

      Code Geass I want to call another mecha anime, but it’s so much more than that.

      Samurai Champloo

      Cowboy Bebop

      Tower of God

      Silent Voice, if you want to cry more

      Mob Psycho 100

      The Tatami Galaxy

      Parasyte (same vein as Chainsaw Man)

      I second Ludrol as for where to watch it. But if you don’t want to resort to piracy, I think you can also watch the show on Netflix.

      I haven’t watched that much anime, but if I had to make a top 3, it’d be FMA:B, Madoka, and Code Geass.
