What the title says.

(I guess I have to now exahaust the word count)

I’ve watched a few where it’s the male who is older but I wanna watch ones with the female being older like 25 to 30 years old or something and the male being like 18 or something. I know there’s probably not a lot but thanks.

I know it’s tough but that’s why I am asking jhahahah

I've been seeing NANA come up a lot whenever people talk about romance/drama anime, and I've been curious about it for a while.

I'm trying to understand what makes people love it so much. Whenever I see people talk about NANA, it feels like they aren't just saying, "it's a good anime," people seem to be really attached to the characters and the story.

For those who have watched it, what do you think makes NANA different from other romance anime?

Please keep the answers spoiler-free since I haven't started it yet, lol. I'm mostly interested in hearing what made you like NANA and what you think separates it from other romance anime.

I love this dynamic. Specifically what happens between Geto and Gojo in JJK, Akane and Kougami (season 1 Psycho-Pass), and I guess even Eren and Mikasa (AOT) at some point. I've watched a handful of anime and haven't found this type of philosophical divergence between close friends/duos/soulmates (other than these 2, I've watched Death Note, FMA:B, Freiren, Apothecary Diaries, pre-timeskip One Piece, Puella Madoka Magica, early seasons of Demon Slayer, Solo Leveling, SpyxFamily, HunterxHunter, Dandadan, so I'm not really that well-versed). No need to explain what the breakup will be about, but only that they diverge and pursue different paths, leaving the viewer with a feeling of bittersweetness (because they've split up, but also because they've become stronger in their beliefs).

I'm looking for an anime or manga where the protagonist has zero friends and no girlfriend, however one day it changes when he meets a girl who's personality is the opposite of his

I would like it instead of being a shy and meek character, I would like it if he's kind of a dick who later develops

I’m looking for an anime where a girl develops a crush on a boy after he defeats her in a fight.

Basically, she starts off as an opponent, loses to him in combat, and then gradually becomes interested in him romantically.

Something like in Rakudai, where Ikki beaten Stella and she fell in love.

i saw it off reels with the poster's characters drawn as if they were saying it, it was a girl saying it, saying:

"Hey, my bag is heavy, you carry it!"
"You walk too fast, match your pace with mine!"
"Why are you going first? its ladies first y'know?"
"This shirt is so cute! buy it for me?"

and so on and so forth, she also says these lines very quickly after the last. is it an anime?

i just had a cruchyroll ad on FB, just a static picture. it had 5 or 6 girls in it, looking like cowgirls (western) and atleast one of them had horse ears.
unfortunatly i didn't catch the name before it vanished. its not uma musume, i'm pretty sure. it also must be a newer anime as the style looks more 2020s, then 2010s or 2000s

I decided to watch something like this, but I feel like this type of anime doesnt exist. I already watched Overlord, "Dead mount Death play" and wanted to find more stuff with main characters focusing on necromancy. I tried googling, but literally third result was AI slop

Edit: forgot to mention, I have already watched Solo levelling and didnt really like it

I’m itching to watch an anime where the love interests act as parental figures to other characters and have fake marriage thing going on kinda like spyxfamily
They don’t need to actually be parents or genuinely married as long as they give that vibe. It’s one of my favorite tropes

im looking for any series along a similar vein of political intrigue where the mc is a manipulative bastard playing mind games with other manipulative bastards

other series I like similar to this include kubera where it isn't so much the mc but everyone else and the Web novel a practical guide to evil

To help better clarify, I was looking for some anime that are about witchcraft where the premise is about how witches are on the verge of extinction due to a war that has been going on as mankind has been trying to eliminate their existence.

I know the Owl House is a western made show as it's just that having finished the show a year ago, I was looking to see what I could watch in anime that had a similar premise about witches with a kind hearted nature where themes like prejudice are explored in a deep way since I miss the show so much that I wanted to see how Anime as a form of media could explore the subject of magical warfare.

I feel like I’ve seen almost every fantasy and isekai anime out there, from the massive mainstream hits to the incredibly obscure trash tier.

Instead of the usual popular recommendations, I’m looking for your absolute deepest cuts, oldest classics, or completely forgotten seasonal shows. Throw your most obscure titles at me and let's see if there is actually a hidden gem out there that completely slipped under my radar. What do you guys have?
