Show Spoiler Comments (7) Recommended by this modify recommendations for fans Megami no Cafe Terrace by aroptua, 2024-12-07 12:21 TV Series, 2023, 12 eps The romance and ecchi are balanced very well. You get the right amount of both at, generally, the right time. Paced appropriately and with quite likeable characters, it is a rather pleasant harem, especially for fans of the genre. must see Asobi Asobase by aroptua, 2019-05-06 13:45 TV Series, 2018, 12 eps I came in expecting a light-hearted comedy but left with anxiety and a slight sense of horror. The show is indeed very funny, don't get me wrong. Think of a NichiBros/Plastic Nee-san mash-up. 10/10 will watch again. recommended Killing Bites by aroptua, 2019-02-03 12:38 TV Series, 2018, 12 eps I came here to watch tits, ass and fights. I got exactly that without any unnecessarily convoluted story. If you want some uncomplicated entertainment and are entertained by flashy action and sexy characters, this would be right down your alley. for fans Island by aroptua, 2019-02-02 15:38 TV Series, 2018, 12 eps The character designs are very cute, the animation is very good and the songs are really enjoyable. The story, though, has a lot of plot holes. It tries to tackle time travel from a slightly different perspective but kind of fails to address some issues that brings up. The romance wasn't too bad but was kind of difficult to accept sometimes. Anyway, I picked it up only because Asumi Kana's voice gives me life but it's an okay way to spend four hours. for fans Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku by aroptua, 2019-01-27 12:06 TV Series, 2018, 12 eps Unfortunately, I forgot I watched it almost as soon as I had watched it. If you like isekai, go for it. It's fun but really forgettable. recommended Kimi no Suizou o Tabetai by aroptua, 2019-01-08 20:45 Movie, 2018, 1 ep I hate how well it worked on me. If you're the type that likes to cry over movies even when you're prepared not to, try this. The other anime in similar are pretty much what you'd find here, though much more succinct.
