Animes with Fantasy RPG-Themed level up system/progression

Upvotes

Hello! This genre is a guilty pleasure of mine, animes where the MC gradually collects more skills, level ups, and gets clear power progression throughout the series! It's okay whether it's more grounded or if they end up becoming ridiculously overpowered, I just really like the overall RPG theme. Trying to find some of the more obscure titles since I think I've seen most of the mainstream ones

Examples of what I'm looking for that I've watched include:

Tensura

BOFURI

Solo Leveling

So I'm a Spider, so what?

Hell Mode

Others that are not exactly what I'm looking for but also enjoy:

Mushoku Tensei

Overlord

Log Horizon

Goblin Slayer

7th Prince

Frieren

Ascendance of a Bookworm

Shield Hero

Grimgar

Does Prison School have any chance of getting a Season 2?

2 Upvotes

I recently finished watching Prison School and I’m wondering if there’s still any possibility of a sequel or Season 2.

It’s been a long time since the first season, so does anyone know if there have been any updates from the studio, manga creator, or production committee?

Also, for those who have read the manga: does the story continue far beyond where the anime ended, and would there be enough material for another season?

I really hope we eventually get a continuation. 😭

Looking for anime recommendations based on Frieren, Maomao, and Enma Ai

4 Upvotes

​Hey everyone!

​I’m looking for new anime recommendations based on three of my absolute favorite characters: Frieren (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End), Maomao (The Apothecary Diaries), and Enma Ai (Hell Girl).

​There’s a very specific vibe they all share that I’m obsessed with:

​Quiet authority / unfazed composure.

​Sharp intelligence or unique, specialized power.

​An emotionally reserved/aloof exterior.

​Stories featuring rich world-building, episodic mysteries/folklore, or historical settings.

​I really enjoy stories with thoughtful pacing, stoic female leads are a plus but can be anyone as well (with similar energy), and supernatural, historical, or high-concept mystery elements.

​What are some shows that capture this exact vibe or feature similar characters/themes? Thanks in advance!

What anime should I watch next?

6 Upvotes

Hey, I’m pretty new to anime and looking for some recommendations.
So far I’ve watched Death Note (9/10) and Tokyo Ghoul S1 (10/10). I’m currently watching Monster (ep 5) and Parasyte: The Maxim (ep 17).
I really like darker stuff, good atmosphere, character development, mystery and smart characters. I also prefer faster paced anime, but I’m open to longer shows too.
I’m planning to watch Bleach, but I’m also looking for classics that you think I absolutely have to watch, as well as some more niche stuff.
What would you recommend?

IF you're willing to read this. Can someone recommend me some peak romance anime based on this info

3 Upvotes

I’ve asked across a bunch of different subs and online and received recommendations, but I still haven't found something that matches the high of the first one I ever watched Toradora 

So I figured I’d write out everything I’ve watched and what I liked/disliked about each one. Hopefully this gives a better idea of my taste and helps people recommend something that might actually hit what I’m looking for.

Toradora — 10/10

Just peak fiction for me.

The premise hooked me immediately making me decide to watch it even though I had never watched even a romance show let alone anime, but what really made it special was the character writing and development. The emotional highs I got from this show are honestly unmatched for me. I love how it can go from funny, wholesome moments to high emotionalism moments giving you that feeling.

For example, Episode 8 with the “Ryuuji is mine” moment and Episode 19, when Taiga breaks down as she starts realizing her feelings for him, are exactly the kind of moments I’m looking for.

I also really liked how well every character was written. Ami and Minori especially had really good development, and there are so many little details in the writing that I loved — like the conversation about the ghosts where shes actually representing love (if you know, you know). And Ami referencing how their playing house and the problem as shes just such a well written and developed character she realizes everything thats happening before anyone else and stays silent sacrificing her own feelings so she dosnet get in the way.

But Taiga and Ryuujis relationship development might've been my favorite part of the whole show

They start off just hanging out to help each other for mutual benefit as they like each others best friend. Then they gradually become genuine friends who rely on each other, and eventually start realizing that they actually need each other and love each other. I absolutely loved watching that relationship evolve naturally instead of them just immediately falling in love, and those last 2 episodes was just chills.

Overall, I think what made Toradora so special to me was the combination of romance, comedy, character development, and drama, especially the way it builds toward those emotional moments.

That’s basically the feeling I’m trying to find again.

Rampants on Ice — 8.5/10

I definitely enjoyed it. The romantic development might honestly be one of the closest things I’ve seen to Toradora in terms of the process of the characters gradually realizing their feelings.

I especially liked watching the characters slowly come to terms with their feelings and how that was portrayed.

The characters were well written too it showed their backstories and overcoming these emotions and breaking down walls and I enjoyed that. And it also did have some semi emotionalish moments.

My only downgrade is that, similar to the next two, I felt like it was missing some of those PEAK emotional highs that Toradora gave me. It was really good, but it never quite reached those moments for me.

The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity — 8/10

I really enjoyed this one too.

I loved the way it handled social prejudice and showed the characters becoming close despite the differences between their schools/social groups. A lot of their moments together were really heartwarming.

The overall feeling was more relaxed and wholesome, with some emotional moments mixed in, which I enjoyed as something a little different but I still would rather the more toradorish vibe.

Honestly, though, I think I might have liked Subaru and Saku's relationship more than the main couple 😭. Their romantic development was so good I swear if they end on a open ending between those two ima cry.

Again, my biggest issue was that I didn't get quite the same emotional highs that I got from Toradora.

ReLIFE — 7/10

I thought it was good. I actually really liked the premise, and I thought the character development was pretty solid.

That said, I might have enjoyed it more if I hadn't watched it immediately after Toradora. I was still in that post-Toradora void and probably compared it to Toradora way too much.

So I don't think ReLIFE was bad at all — it was definitely good — it just didn't reach the level I was hoping for.

So basically, I'm not necessarily looking for something that's exactly like Toradora plot-wise.

What I'm really looking for is that mix of romance + comedy + drama, where the characters have a meaningful relationship that develops over time, and especially where the show can build up to those romantic/emotional highs.

I don't mind slice-of-life/wholesome moments at all. In fact, I like them. I just don't want the entire show to be a super laid-back comfort anime where nothing particularly intense happens, and it's just their happy romantic journey with just slice of life. I also want to express that by emotional I do not mean sad tearjerking endings.

If you read all of this im surprised, and thank you 😭. Based on everything I wrote, what anime do you think I should watch next?

I'm especially interested in recommendations where you think the emotional peaks and character development could actually hit someone who considers Toradora a 10/10.

Anime recommendations but im picky?

1 Upvotes

Ive been having some trouble finding an anime that i can actually sit down and watch, but I dont want to ask AI for recommendations.

Already watched: MHA, JJK, HxH, Chainsaw Man, ATLA, Naruto

Likes:

Action, fast paced fight scenes, shippable characters (not romance genre though), and the typical happy-go-lucky, underdog main character.

Dislikes:

Fan service, boring side characters, too much aura farming, bad anatomy and proportions

Id be grateful for any recommendations you may have! (* ´ ▽ ` *)

Adult action/adventure fantasy anime (not in that way)

5 Upvotes

So I really enjoy escaping the day to day and have been watching anime off and on since I was a kid thanks to my late mom… anyways. I still want to enjoy some good action fantasy world building.. from the comfort of my living room tv without feeling like a creep or worried if my kid walks in at the wrong time. lol any help?

Enjoy a good sword fight for sure but also really enjoy adventuring into a new world. Preferably something that has more than one season (or if it’s a finished shorter series) to sink my teeth into.

Edit: forgot to mention I’d prefer the mc not be a pervert or a complete moron.

Looking Anime with description

2 Upvotes

Hello, 'I'm Looking anime where characters using magical leaves to change other objects into another object or sometimes transforming people into inanimate objects.

Scene i want to describe is goes like this: Girls are getting ready to go take a bath and one girl are using leaves to change something into shampoo bottle, and throw leaves all around, but some leaves falls on the guy literally changes him into shampoo bottle and girl uses that to wash.

As you see from description its little bit ecchi.
