Favourite animes & mangas!

Hello everyone!
For the sake of some more interest-sharing, and finishing the 3rd season of beastars, i decided: why not make a post about my favourite animes and mangas of all time!

To start with number one, my favourite and longest followed fandom so far:
The devilman fandom!
Many people know ''devilman'' from the netflix spinoff ''devilman crybaby''.

but the first edition/run of the manga is actually from June 11, 1972June 24, 1973. making it one of the oldest Shōnen in the game. it also inspired a lot of my other favourites, such as evangelion and berserk. Here is a snapshot of the first edition of the anime:

I personally own the following editions of the manga:
1. Devilman, original box set
2. devilman vs hades
3. devilman grimoire
And i aspire to own devilman lady. i also own a couple old figurines brought out in i believe end 80s to begin 90s!

Now, my second favourite.. and previously mentioned favourite: Beastars!
Beastars is an anime/manga surrounding animals... i once saw somebody describe it as ''zootopia for adults'' and i find that pretty accurate lol. it is also a Shōnen...
see a trend here?
Anyhow, i dont own any of the physical manga copies yet.. but i find the artstyle so pretty! And at times super cute. See here:
Its so goofy lol.
Unlike devilman, it is pretty new.. and there is only one manga adaptation. The 4th (and last) season is yet to be published... i do love the way they did the anime, even though its not always entirely true to the manga.

Such cuties! legoshi on the right and louis on the left.

Now for one of the first animes i have ever watched, and very much set the tone for the rest... evangelion. I think most people that even watched just a BIT of anime, know this one. it is pretty infamous and also pretty old. and again... it is a shonen. My favourite genre... you wouldn't have guessed it.
The manga and anime are both wonderfully drawn. i'll just include a couple snapshots!

There again are, because of its age, multiple series, movies, and spinoffs... and i can only recommend them all.

Then a last for this post, and one i keep rewatching JUST for the soundtrack... cowboy bebop! It again is an old shonen... whowee.. guess i only watch 80s shonens. not very original.
But it is GORGEOUS. from the hand painted background to the wonderful jazz... its worth every second. and its so good! I love it to bits! Again... snapshots!


To give america a little shoutout, and to show i CAN and DO watch things made earlier... and not just the furry stuff.. i have to mention: Castlevania.
Insanely smooth artstyle. lovely aesthetic, and some of the best english voiceacting i have ever heard for an anime.


Anyhow.. i'll end it on that note. maybe i'll make a pt.2 about animes, or another post including books, movies, games?... or maybe i'll update this one!
If you watch any anime at all.. feel free to throw that in the comments! Ciao!

An ex loved Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop so I watched both. I remembered liking Evangelion but couldn't get into Cowboy at the time depsite it giving me Outlaw Star vibes, and I really enjoyed that show.

Evangelion's opening theme is still a banger.

So so so agree!
You should try cowboy bebop again, especially if you enjoy jazz… the opening and all the music in the anime is really good. Its a bit of a different vibe from evangelion, but i really enjoyed it.
