I'll update this soon...enough!
Hey, I want to meet new people to talk with and discuss the many aspects of anime, movies, tv shows, video-games and really just anything. Open to all kinds of discussions with anyone about anything. Some of my favorite stuff in case you need suggestions or want to discuss it.
Shows and anime that deserve another season:
1. Terriers (Not very heard of, stars Donal Logue whose a great supporting actor that is better then most mainstream actors. Has starred in things like Vikings, Sons of Anarchy, Grounded for Life, the Patriot and Gotham.
2. D.Gray-Man
3. Young Justice
4. Deadman Wonderland
5. Spiderman: the New Animated Series (A Spider-Man series that aired on MTV of all networks in 2003. Not much marketing was done, great series, darker and more mature then other Spider-Man shows.)
6. The Spectacular Spider-Man
7. Claymore
8. Witch Hunter Robin
9. Freaks and Geeks
10. Black Lagoon
Genres: Sci-fi, drama, thrillers, psychological, fantasy, dystopian, etc. But I'm open to anything!
Top 10 favorite live action series in order: Battlestar Galactica, The Missing, the Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, Humans, Spartacus, Bloodline, Breaking Bad, Terriers
Top 5 favorite American animated series in order: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, The Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice and Spider-Man: the New Animated Series.
Favorite Games: Jak and Daxter, Dante's Inferno, Ratchet and Clank, Dead Space, Devil May Cry, God of War, Uncharted, The Last of Us and of course my #1 favorite-Castlevania: Lords of Shadow! Too bad the sequel was so mediocre, especially in comparison :(
My favorite movies: Requiem for a Dream, Gattaca, The Next Three Days, Batman Begins & The Dark Knight, Spider-Man 2 (2004), Terminator Series, Eden Lake, Cinderella Man, Gladiator, Match Point, 21 Grams, The Insider, Shawshank Redemption, House of Sand and Fog, The Wolf of Wall Street, Pirates of the Caribbean, Million Dollar Baby, The Prestige, Cloud Atlas, Deception, The Hunger Games 1, Prisoners, X-Men: Days of Future Past & Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Newly added is Nightcrawler starring Jake Gyllenhaal. A must watch!
Music: Mostly alternative rock and violin and piano-very deep and really touches you. Making them a vital piece for the most deep and sad anime soundtracks ever like the original Fullmetal Alchemist, Clannad and Claymore
Quotes:
Juliano: Does this mean you are willing to accept everything?
Robin: It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation. (Witch Hunter Robin)
Exorcist: Innocence, activate! (D.Gray-Man)
Queen Beryl: Desperation is the best motivation. (Sailor Moon)

As for my favorites, oof, there are so many. But if I had to name a few: Monster, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Gintama, Steins;Gate, Made in Abyss, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Bit of a mix in genre and era, but all of them have really strong storytelling and characters.
And yep, I’m in Indonesia, so the time difference is probably quite a bit from where you are. Honestly, it’s nice knowing there are still plenty of us in our 30s hanging around here. We "anime veterans" have to keep the torch burning
Nice that you added The Apothecary Diaries! Yeah, I’ve felt the same. newer anime just feel... different. It’s not necessarily bad, just a big shift in tone and pacing compared to the 2000s stuff. Harder to find something that really clicks.
And yep, close to 4K now. Sounds like a lot, but I’ve just been watching consistently over the years. Mostly in between things during meals, winding down at night, stuff like that. I’ll send you a few recs that stood out to me. I’m early 30s, by the way 😄
And you're very welcome, glad we could reconnect a bit.
