Not sure how to ask for a recommendation? Fill this out, or simply use it as a guideline, and other users will find it much easier to recommend you an anime!

I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

Animation sequences that left you in awe and/or moved you that weren’t fights.


Animation sequences that left you in awe and/or moved you that weren’t fights.

The first one that comes to my mind is from Akebi's sailor uniform Akebi getting ready for her first day in school, it's so beautifully intricate. Another one was the hand holding at the station in Saekano, it felt so intimate and intense. Also in Mob psycho 100 when Shigeo catches the pieces of the torn appart novel manuscript and organizes them once again, fantastic way to emphasize how meaningful that action was for both characters.

Although this is a place for off-topic discussion, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

Do not post content falling in this category in spoiler tags and hover text.
