Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex

Alliterative Alias

If you're down for a musical; Revue Starlight is about about students competing (via duet/stage combat) for the lead role of the school play.

Yuyu

Eighty Six (the ost is very interesting and different, and its also made by the same guy who did attack on titans iconic soundtracks)

Bjarki Höjgaard

Hunter X Hunter!

Ryo

Made in Abyss (OST by Kevin Penkin) or Violet Evergarden (OST by Evan Call), both amazing story wise

Resonaire

Arcane

Ao no Orchestra another classical related show

ZodiacBeast

Arcane

TheGoblerTrainsMovinIn

Other than the weird shit, the show is really damn good, but unfortunately that and other stuff like that IS in the show.

MeggieHammie

I know several others have suggested Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and I dropped a like on those but throwing this comment in just to say I think you'd really enjoy the story of this one, when I first watched it I binged the whole thing in a few days I was so hooked!

GPlayZYZ Johansson

Parasyte -the maxim-

Veronica V

Macross 7

SungDripWoo

Made in Abyss

javier calderon

mob psycho

Sam

Yeah… that’s not what happens.

Tip: Instruct us for the next time to only comment an anime once and to look through the comments for the anime we want to mention. That way you have to read waaay less comments and we can all just give a thumbs up to the anime we like and comment under it stuff we wanna say about it. And the rule should be: Only one anime per comment.

Suhas M

I feel Kids on the slope will be a great replacement for Your lie in april

Prithvirajan Venkateswaran

Not many people said Nodame Cantabile but I'll throw my vote in for it anyways. It's about students in a classical music program in university so I've been curious about what you'd think about how the show portrays college music education. It's also a bit different from Hibike Euphonium since the characters are older.

Pork_Katacurry

Code Geass would be dope to see, its one of those where once you see it, its like never gna hit the same

Highside

Link Click is solid

JoeyGuy7

Nier automata show could be fun to experience that games soundtrack without having to play it

kinetic98

Berserk 1997. One of the best dark fantasies ever

Jet Man

I approve of this recommendation.

JoeyGuy7

Mob psycho 100

d_swordfish

Also - Chainsaw Man. And how much of those stuff is on the way in next seasons... ;)

Just passing by

Heavenly Delusion. Great story, great soundtrack.

Arian Abdolahy

Yeah the music is definitely unique and original in this one.

Arian Abdolahy

It also has an amazing soundtrack! Rock, Piano and Jazz as far as I can tell.

Arian Abdolahy

I agree, it’s a nasty way to try to cut something down. Tony has already seen Attack On Titan. You could easily take something out of context from AoT and describe it like this guy did and make it look weird.

Arian Abdolahy

26 episodes

PM

This might be the most disingenuous way I've seen someone try to cut down a show I've seen outside of Twitter. Even more so considering there are things in Overlord many would find distasteful.

Med-_-Kit-_-

Re: zero would be a awesome series it Soundtrack and sub voice actors Amazing

Striker 52C

Samurai Champloo! The hip-hop inspired music and show are creatively intertwined and the story is well thought out. You follow a trio of protagonist who set out across a unique version of ~1700's Japan. The character growth is wonderful and ever present throughout. 23 episodes

Robert

Mob Psycho 100 is fantastic if you haven't already seen it.

Maxine

LOL

JoeyGuy7

If you want another classic anime after death note you should watch neon genesis evangelion

andoryuguen

Definitely vinland saga but violet evergarden is also great because of the emotional story, orchestral music by Evan Call, and beautiful visuals and animation by KyotoAnimation

V STAN

I'd say Vinland Saga

jonaru

Dorohedoro or/and Vinland Saga

jonaru

I LOVE DOROHEDORO

jimi

Golden Kamuy

あなん

Pinoux

Samurai Samploo, Eighty Six, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

ZTQuick

Eighty Six/86 please

Arian Abdolahy

Samurai Champloo. The music for the show was in part made by Nujabes. Nujabes was a big influence to Lo-Fi Hip Hop. And thus the show is very iconic for combining hip hop and samurai elements smoothly together. There are definitely very cool bass and drum elements in there. It’s a short anime (26 Episodes). The story has humor, action and depth. The directing and storytelling are in my opinion peak and already visible from the first episode on. When I think of the anime, it reminds me of the feeling of looking up at the starry sky at night or being on a journey, pausing to let my gaze glide over the landscape, watching the wind sweep over it. Oh… and it also has a very iconic and badass drum roll scene!!! With its own soundtrack called „The Million Way of Drum“.

d_swordfish

Yes, mom

tarantulala

Re Zero is a good one. A lot of character development, interesting story and world, as well as main concept is quite intriguing.

DrumRollTony

Calm down. It's not happening. Jesus christ

TheGoblerTrainsMovinIn

I see alot of Made in abyss recommtndations, its good but it has a scene where a 12 year old girl gets strung up naked (i'm not joking) and other similarly weird ass scenes, so probably stay away from that one lol

TheGoblerTrainsMovinIn

Overlord, if your into cocky assholes getting brutally destroyed in the most satisfying ways.

OnikeNew

One of my all time favourites! Would love to see more reactions to this. The OST is playing in my head right now.

Springer

Demon slayer Angel Beats Re zero

smileybones

If you're looking for something more fantasy to really scratch that DnD itch, I recommend: Overlord (main character is basically a dungeon boss) Goblin Slayer (its subtly implied the "gods" of the world are dnd players, rolling dice with their lives) Konosuba (absolutely hilarious, and the only anime I've ever rewatched 3 times before). Deathnote is an anime classic that you've seen. For other classics most people know about, I recommend: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (there's another version, but Brotherhood is the prefered for most people.) Cowboy Bebop (smooth jazzy space adventure, with one of the coolest protags) Hellsing Ultimate (Brutal animation about vampires and Dracula) Trigun (recently got remastered, and looks amazing)

Bardimayis

Haven't seen anyone else recommend this show yet, but thought I would throw it out there anyways. March comes in like a Lion: A story about a young Shogi (Japanese chess) professional who's struggling to find his way through life. I love the way the author explores the characters in this show and I felt that the OST did a great job setting the mood. Thanks again for all the reactions!

Jose Maldonado

86 has such a good story Probably the safest option out there

Land Hooman

this would be so great considering kevin penkin

Land Hooman

Made in abyss!!!!!

Félix Laliberte

Made in abyss

ItsJustAlex

Definitely want to check out Vinland Saga. The music in the show is composed by Yutaka Yamada and it just hits hard when you hear the music paired with the scene your watching. The show is great you see some real character development and see how someone changes. Definitely high on my list.

d_swordfish

Yea, I know =( But worth a try

d_swordfish

I just realised that we need GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) here and your decomposition on his motivation, teaching method and process. That would be funny, LOL PS: This is NOT music related

Nick K

Putting out there Inuyashiki: Last Hero as a wild card. I know most people haven't even heard of it but it's an insane one season show that really deserves more attention.

Nick K

Golden Kamuy has slowly worked it's way to becoming one of my favorite shows. The story is really good, all the characters are interesting, and sometimes it goes so far into left field that I almost choke laughing. Also weirdly educational and wholesome at times.

Nick K

Now that he's seen some current big name anime, I think it's fitting he dive into the classics like Bebop

Kevin Dong

Mushishi is a good one if you're enjoying the calmer and more introspective Frieren. Madoka Magica for more action - it's pretty bizarre but it's also short and sweet.

Katakuriko

Golden Kamuy is a weird anime with a sense of humor like Jojo's. But it has a very interesting plot almost similar to a western.

andwoo

86 for sure

leechy

Also I love Vinland Saga but it is like THE most popular show of the last couple years, and I think it would make a lot more sense as a Tier 1 show eventually.

leechy

Echoing "Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad" big time. Great show about music and relationships around bands and the like but in more of a grungy rock way. Major 90s/early 2000s vibes from the animation, soundtrack and characters.

IGTrumpy

Made in Abyss

Brandon3681

made in abyss

Mikey

Re Zero could be a good one

kaeleb white

I’d recommend Vivy, has an awesome soundtrack and story

Marthan

I’m pleasantly surprised to see all the Steins;Gate recommendations in the comments. And I gotta say the same

Walter Brown

why no "BECK" in this list ?

Sam

Also Vivy Fluorite Eyes Song

Sam

Made in Abyss 86 Vinland Saga FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood Code Geass Steins Gate Violet Evergarden

Sam

Hard disagree on this (but in a friendly way). And most people are in my camp

KennuhVT

Haruhi Suzumiya anime would be good.

Cswerve

Hard agree! And it’s short too!

Cswerve

Vinland Saga or Golden Kamuy

Gustavo R de Oliveira

k-on

tavo norris

Hunter x hunter

Emilio De La Torre

Vinland Saga!

Gabriel Tafur

Eighty Six, Hiroyuki Sawano is behind the OST of these show. No more reasons to watch it.

YikesBradley

Made in abyss is amazing and as you know the soundtrack adds to it so well

Ainz Ooal Gown

Hunter X Hunter would be cool. Maybe OVERLORD if your a fan of DnD.

Jet Man

Oh my gosh, I misread the title at first glance and thought you suggested something more mature that was not quite an anime and a bit of a red flag 😆

Maxine

Darker than Black for a more mature anime.

plug-in panda

vivy fluorite eyes song, an incredible thriller that centers on a songstress AI. some of the best animation, story, and music you'll find in a series

GremlinOverdose

Made in Abyss!!!! PLS

d_takada18

Music theme anime: Nodame Cantabile K-on! Kono Oto Tomare

OleBrr

Hunter x Hunter or Vinland Saga!

Miguel Guzman

hunter x hunter / made in abyss

Haruto Yuzuki

Angel Beats

Alpora

Steins,Gate is my personal favorite, I can't not suggest it

Mirrorline

Vinland saga!!!

Justin Dodge

Baki if you want something crazy like JoJo.

Klarin Black

Since I am not really into ranking shows I’m just gonna list a couple shows I think would be interesting, the order is not reflective of what I think to be “better”: Vinland Saga Made in Abyss Steins;Gate Samurai Champloo Hunter x Hunter (probably too long)

GradMustang

Beck (28 Episodes)

Derek

I recommend Vinland Saga (48 episodes) or Baccano! (16 episodes).

Jinx1250

Vinland Saga

Med-_-Kit-_-

Noragami has two Season

ML Snow

Violet Evergarden, is quite emotional, and the composer is Frieren's composer. Beautiful tracks confirmed.

AntonJ0™

Kids on the Slope, anime about a high school Jazz group. Or Samurai Champloo , an older anime in feudal Japan of a group of idiots on a journey to find an illusive man who smells of Sunflowers

Zey

86! Eighty Six! 👍👍

Ethroden

Why not both lol, I just didn't know if Tony would do a movie on the channel.

Alpora

+1 for steins gate, it is my favorite of all time.

Jet Man

I was thinking I might be the only one that would consider he watch GitS. If anything, he should consider the original movie.

Benjamin Callaghan

Eighty Six! 23 episodes, great story, one of my all time favorites, but also an amazing soundtrack. The soundtrack was done by Hiroyuki Sawano (who of course, needs no introduction) and Kohta Yamamoto, the dynamic duo behind Season 4 of Attack on Titan's soundtrack.

javier calderon

Dororo please!

d_swordfish

If you gonna do "Fullmetal Alchemist" just keep in mind: 2003 version is WAY better than "brotherhood". Yea, FMA'03 is not a "canon", it was out when manga not ready and FMAB is "true canon story with logical ending" blah blah blah. Just saying as person who watched both versions - FMA'03 is cooler, has deeper characters relationships, more focused on drama than on "funny chibi-like stuff" and it hooks you emotionaly in the finale the way FMAB not able to do. Guys who like Brotherhood, that's just my humble opinion =)

WuYixiang

+1 for Violet Evergarden. Hearing him gush about Evan Call's work in Frieren solidifies that one for me.

Jet Man

Vinland Saga (non-music) OR Kids on the Slope (music related)

MWS

One that’s currently airing is Undead Unluck

JujutsuKaisenFan

You should watch **Stein's Gate** if you want a more emotional and less action oriented anime. It is also very very highly rated.

Arsenic805

Eighty Six - 23 Episodes (for the story and action) Demon Slayer - 48 episodes, 1 movie (for the animation and action) Violet Evergarden - 12 Episodes, 2 Movies (for the soundtrack) Blue Lock - 24 Episodes, or Haikyuu - 85 episodes (for your first sports anime) Steins Gate - 47 episodes or Summertime Render - 25 episodes (for time travel)

Jet Man

That would be fun

Cesar Ortiz

I would recommend HxH if you want a long watch and for a shorter one Re: zero or demon or for a even shorter one One Punch Man

Causing60

Eminence in shadow is a great pick too

Ethroden

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Baccano!, Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex, Trigun, Wolfs Rain, Afro Samurai, and Hunter X Hunter(2011)

rune kongstad larsen

vinland saga

Walt D

Or Samurai Champloo. The musical journey is cool and mellow

zewong choi

Blue Giant the movie

Walt D

FMAB you will flip

d_swordfish

1) Cowboy bebop 2) Samurai Champloo 3) Vinland Saga 4) One punch man 5) Steins Gate 6) Elfen Lied 7) Neon Genesis Evangelion - /* Let's push it guys, to see on what episode Tony will give up, ahahaha */

Phrygian

Beck (or Mongolian chop squad) is my favorite music related anime. It's from 2004 so some parts might not have aged well. I watched it in Japanese but I've heard that a lot of people prefer the dub version

Joshua Fondren

Hajime No Ippo

Hugo Abilleira

Please oh please watch Violet evergarden.

notmymain

You've already reacted to some Made in Abyss OST, but there's plenty more beautiful ones and they're even better in the context of the show.

Jet Man

I agree. If you want to keep with music related anime, Kids on the Slope is a great choice. Never seen it myself, only clips, but would be very interested.

Bryanterra456

My hero academia is gotta be a simple watch and you should watch it in dub

LewdProxy

Is it finally time for Cowboy Bepop, perhaps.

Danyul

Re:Zero would probably be up your alley

Ryuk

Dorohedoro would be great. A very dark anime whose character designs were inspired by the Slipknot band members. the anime is mysterious, dark and funny. I think it would be very good reaction material.

JackTheDaniels

Maho Shoujo Madoka Magica (12 episodes + 1 movie and another coming soon on 2024)

SuperKamiSenzuBean

One Punch Man

WuYixiang

Shows with musical themes: * Symphogear (musical magical girls) * K-On!
