Have been watching some Netflix series but none that I can watch more than 2-4 eps

That's still quite a lot to watch in one day! ^^

Not in one day. Just try out a few every other time I can 😃

For what it's worth, I fed your MAL profile into my anime recommender algorithm and got some results. Maybe some of that stuff is actually interesting for you 😃
The current iteration of my model is a bit broken though, so the recommendations tend towards lesser watched shows.

:o thank you! I looked at most of them and they did seem to be non popular ones not really what I'm into, but Muteki Kanban Musume looks interesting!
honestly idek how to describe my anime tastes nowadays, and i rank anime based on how i felt at the time when i watched them, so some entries from all those years ago i rpob don't feel the same way today xD
What I can say for sure is that I'm not really a fan of high school love triangle things (unless it's a yuri), ecchi, harem xD

Keep working hard for your next revision!

Haha, thanks for the feedback! I figured the output would be to obscure in the current iteration. ^^

I started watching Turn A Gundam and it's fucking great! Honestly, I sometimes think I have watched so much anime that there are no shows left anymore that will get me excited. Well, not yet... ^_^

4 months later

Currently watching Now and Then, Here and There. Holy shit, this series turns dark incredibly quickly after a fairly standard "shounen-esque" first episode. It's funny that this is technically an "Isekai" show, but it couldn't be further in tone and quality from the heaps of trash (imho) most isekai anime. Highly recommended!

Cool topic, Now and Then, Here and There looks interesting. Been watching k-drama lately, trying to find badass moments and comfy bro moments as in Descendants of The Sun. I'd rewatch it but I can't into rewatches. Last  one would be Man to Man

Eight days of straight migraines were absolute hell, but at least I'm finally feelin' better. Haah... Time for some anime, I think. ^_^

Recently I've been interested in a show titled Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, which follows newly-minted middle school graduate, Mirai, as she begins her first day of summer vacation, only to be caught with her kid brother in one of the largest earthquakes ever witnessed in Japan's heartland.

Essentially, it's the small-screen equivalent of a disaster film, though unlike most disaster movies, this one appears extremely promising as far as I can tell. I've always been enamored with stories about what would happen if the modern, interconnected society we take for granted were to suddenly break down. We've gotten a milder version of this during the Coronavirus crisis (although the US and Brazil seem to have sprinted in the other direction), but the event in the series involves entire buildings collapsing and countless trapped, injured, or dead. What follows is a tale of drama, survival, regret, and tragedy. In other words, it's some damn fine TV.

Just finished this over the past two days, since I'm trying to develop the habit of watching anime.

That ending... My god. It wrecked me, loves. ;_;

The series' realism is its greatest strength. It wasn't sad till the final act. And yet... I don't think I've cried as much for any piece of media.

I wish there were more anime like this.

I've been greatly enjoying my delve into the realm of The Twelve Kingdoms. I'll wager you haven't heard of it, as it's quite old now and lacks appeal for the average knuckle-dragger; but I'd describe it as a rather unique 2002 fantasy anime that reminds me a lot of InuYasha, right down to centering around a typical Japanese schoolgirl [ this time with two friends! ] that gets involuntarily pulled into a fantastic world.

Unlike InuYasha though, the world of TTK is anything but welcoming to our MC. Danger lurks both in the skies and in the shadows, and within the opening episodes we realize the people of this land seek to exterminate visitors like her. What ensues is a gripping and rather heart-wrenching tale of an individual driven past all known limits, furnished with a detailed and beautifully-drawn world (for 2002, mind) and complete with the large cast of characters typical of high fantasy.

I've found I especially relate to Youko [ our red-haired, olive-skinned MC ], so I'm really excited for this one. Can't wait to watch more. ^~^

Hah! I've heard of it and I've watched the first half (season?). 🙂 It's a great show indeed. One of the better fantasy animes I've seen and one of the few truely high fantasy shows, as you mention. It's technically an Isekai show I guess, but without the "the fantasy world is actually a video game world, huehue" stuff. Good show!

I already practiced getting links down on ygopro but decided to pick up vrains because I want to see what happens, heard it was good. Also it might help me hone understanding of speed duels more, alongside actually getting to (hopefully) start using that style of play when i get a set of them for one of my presents this holiday season.

Just finished Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, it's a rather fun show with low tension, which I think is why I really got into it.
