As my journey into weebdom continues (maybe I could do a Youtube miniseries on that) I have another recommendation request. I remember someone once telling me that I would like My Hero Academia since I am a fan of old school super-hero comics and I've heard My Hero Academia be described as a love letter to comic books. I plan on getting that omnibus soon but I would also like to know what are some good Sci-Fi/Fantasy anime or mangas? Probably the very first anime I ever saw was Robotech because my older brother was really into it when I was a kid. I read his Robotech book over and over. As for fantasy, I guess Howl's Moving Castle would count? I actually learned recently that was based on a manga so I want to check that out.
So is there any good sci-fi anime/manga y'all could recommend?
Trigun, it’s the best and most Christian anime ever made.
Seriously though 99% of my anime knowledge is whatever was on Adult Swim when I was a kid. The only modern stuff I’ve seen is Goblin Slayer, Made in Abyss and Ranking of Kings. All of which I would recommend for different reasons.
Made in Abyss is so good. Watch it cold and plan the watching time as an event so there are no distractions.
Imo it has the absolute best worldbuilding of any series.
I saw Trigun a long time ago. Didn’t know it had Christian themes
lots of animes have "christian themes" for the aesthetics, not as means to promote Christian beliefs
Trigun pushes a lot of "thou shalt not kill" and "it's never too late to repent" themes.
But Knives was right about spiders and butterflies.
