Anime Watchlist: How Can My Recommendations Be This Useful
Fights! Power levels! Ice skating! People rushing at each other with swords, pausing briefly, then someone falling down!
Every so often, I'm going to recommend some anime and manga for people to check out and catch up on. If your favorite anime isn't here, let me know! I'd love to check some stuff out and pass the word. If I recommend something you hate, that's also okay! Not everything I recommend will be the best show ever, but if it's something you might be interested in checking out, I encourage you to give it a chance.
This week, we'll start off by talking about My Hero Academia. If you're tuned in to the anime community pretty much at all, you have heard of MHA, so I don't think I'm giving anyone a news flash here. If you're on the fence, though, I recommend just trying out MHA to see if you enjoy its fantastical world and (pardon the pun) quirky characters. In what appears to be the far future, almost all human beings have been gifted super powers, which of course means that some people use them for evil, and other people try to stop them. Superheroing is a regulated service and young Deku is desperate to take part. The creator, Kohei Horikoshi, is a big fan of western superhero comics and it absolutely shows in MHA. I also suggest following him on Twitter for doodles and posts about Marvel figures he buys.
In pretty much the complete opposite direction, I want to recommend Promised Neverland to anyone who isn't reading it. The manga started in August of 2016 and it tells the story of an orphanage that is covering up a dark secret. When trying to return a doll to a little girl that got adopted, three orphans discover that they're being raised as cattle for what appear to be demons to feast on. It is a shocking, dark manga that takes a number of twists and turns and is masterful at ratcheting up the tension. I highly suggest fans of things like Death Note give it a chance.
Don't forget to let me hear your recommendations or if you tried something I suggested!
