I wouldn’t doubt it, honestly. It’s like the original “omg I’m reacting so ridiculously to eating something” anime.
- Comment on 10 Best Anime About Cooking & Food 1 week ago:
Omg I literally just commented that before reading your comment. My guess is that it’s because it’s solely about bread rather can cooking in general.
- Comment on 10 Best Anime About Cooking & Food 1 week ago:
An older one I really enjoyed was Yakitake Japan but it was mainly about bread rather than cooking in general.

I’ve thought about this myself especially with campfire cooking as he goes through all the steps when he cooks. The only thing is he uses monster meat but there seems to always a real life equivalent.
- Comment on In your opinion, which anime has the most badass villains? 3 weeks ago:
Overlord. Ains Ooal Gown is undoubtedly the villain.
- Comment on What are your top three recommendations for someone new to anime? 4 weeks ago:
This is a tough one. If I was recommending anime to someone brand new to anime then there are a few guidelines I’d follow:
- Can’t take too long to develop. So while things like Frieren are undoubtedly amazing, the slow start means I wouldn’t recommend it to a Newbie.
- Must be palitable for a wide range of audiences. Panty and Stocking, Elfen Lied, and Devilman Crybaby might be a great shows but they’re pretty in-your-face and could be off-putting to people.
- Must be easily digestible. One Piece might be a great anime but no one is going to want to start on a series with over a thousand episodes. Likewise stuff like Serial Experiments Lain and Evangelion are good but far too out there for a first timer.
To that end I usually start people with Your Name. It’s movie length so easily digestible. The animation is beautiful. The plot is relatively unique while still being easy to understand. And pretty much anyone can enjoy the mix of slice-of-life and scifi.
I’ve also had a lot of success with Ouran High School Host Club. Everyone can understand the concept of a school but then the inclusion of the wacky rich people makes it a fun time.
Finally, back in the day I got a lot of people into anime with Beck. It’s still pretty good even by today’s standards but another anime about music or a band would also work since people tend to understand music or band dynamics in general. Possibilities include K-On or Your Lie in April.
Anyway, just my thoughts.
- Comment on What is your best supernatural anime? 4 weeks ago:
“Another” left quite an impression on me. Supernatural Suspense Horror and I haven’t seen anyone else mention it yet.
Angel Beats is one of my all-time favorites.
Dan Da Dan is an obvious recent pick. Your Name is amazing if you haven’t seen it.
If we want to get into more Shonen offerings there’s Chainsaw Man, Tokyo Ghoul, Jujutsu Kaizen, and others.

The most obvious one that comes to mind besides The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is the movie duo of “To Every You I’ve Loved Before” and “To Me, The One Who Loved You”. In fact picking which movie to watch first ties into the plots of the movies themselves in a way.
- Comment on How Anime Fans Stumbled upon a Mathematical Proof 1 month ago:
No, the function is exponential so it would very quickly reach the bounds of modern computing limitations. The best analogy I can think of is folding a sheet of paper. With each fold the thickness doubles and it quickly becomes impossible to fold more than about 7 times.
- Comment on Please donate 2 months ago:
Sorta. Each book is about $10-15, which isn’t a lot by itself. But A full series can be dozens of volumes which quickly adds up. And you can consume it at a pretty rapid pace.
- Comment on "My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s" Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual, PV 2 months ago:
First, I was like, “wow, that title sounds stupid.”
Then I was like, “Hold up, the PV actually looks pretty cool with nice style.”
Finally I was, “But now the summary makes it sound stupid again…”
What a rollercoaster.
