I cannot wait to see Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken no matter the mixed reviews and numerous spoilers. I'm thinking of going this weekend to the cinema. This, is for a very important reason:
Tumblr media
Chelsea Van Der Zee, is the reason. When I initially saw pictures of her, I was hyped to see how DreamWorks is going to poke fun at the live-action remakes. Because come on, production of this movie started 2 years after the announcement of the live-action Little Mermaid. BUT, there is another layer to the parody of her character that will fly over most people's heads: She's a Dutch mermaid. Her faux-Dutch last name is a proper sounding Dutch surname, it doesn't falls into the pitfalls of writing it as Vanderzee, and whilst on the nose it's a well-constructed surname. Like, the people who created her last name were aware of HOW our surnames were constructed and didn't end up creating a non-realistic surname that simply sounds Dutch like Gossip Girl did. I remember trying to playback a moment in the trailer several times, when Chelsea confronted Ruby about being a kraken in the trailer, she says a word at the end that I couldn't place and no matter how many times I rewinded it I didn't understood what she said. Until I came across the scripted version of the quote yesterday; “I know your secret. You're a kraken, hiding as a human. And soon, everyone will know the truth. Kusjes!” Kusjes is horribly butchered, but it's Dutch for 'kisses' and we actually do use that and XOXO, just like English speakers do so the usage of Dutch that I have seen so far is correct. Now, I have actually seen people speculate she's Dutch because of That's So Raven, but as a Dutch person myself I see it from a different angle: There's a phenomenon I like to call the 'Dutch Default'. Historically, the English had difficulties recognizing which Germanic speaking culture was which. You can even see this reflected in our English name, 'Dutch', when that's how the Germans refer to themselves, as the Deutsch. We calls ourselves Nederlanders in our tongue. Pennsylvanian Dutch? I was told the area was mostly Swedish. I can continue with examples. Whilst I noticed the UK has became a little better educated about the topic, this is still perpetuated by Americans to this day. When The Little Mermaid live action was announced, there were various people who actually confused us for the Danish. Some were harmless comments like calling the novel Dutch instead of a Danish novel. Others were not. When there were Danish people speaking on social media about how disappointed they were with how Disney treats one of their national symbols, there were hate comments from people defending The Little Mermaid, but various were directed at the Dutch because Americans were too lazy to even Google which culture they are hurling insults too. This, was all taking place during the production of Ruby Gillman. Now, how likely is it that Chelsea is a Dutch mermaid because of That's So Raven, and how likely do you think DreamWorks noticed Twitter and decided to use the Dutch Default as another layer to the parody of Chelsea's character? Because it's not like the entirety of Hollywood seems to be unaware of this phenomenon. The Umbrella Academy S2, actually has this scene with the Swedish brothers being called Dutch even though the characters were already told they were Swedish, and Five corrects them like, "No, they're Swedish." Paired with how Luther shouts at innocent Olga through the phone, it gives a perfect portrayal of how clueless Americans are about foreign cultures. There are people in Hollywood who do notice how little Americans know about other cultures and will harass innocent people on false misconceptions. For DreamWorks to poke fun at Twitter wars for doing so, makes me love Chelsea Van Der Zee.
If I ever see one of those stupid Americans again because this whole drama isn't completely over yet, I will summon Chelsea to drown them to the bottom of the Ocean.

Why have the Hargreeves not danced to “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge yet?? Petition to have the series finale be them dancing to that song before the credits roll. Bonus points if a disco ball is there somehow

The Umbrella Academy S4 but instead of good music they play bad song parodies from 2010-2016 YouTube and no one says anything about it.

hi i love your work!! idk if you'd be willing to write for an out-of-character danhausen, but i would love to see something where he and a female wrestler hooked up but she's lowkey embarrassed about it and wants to keep it quiet (not because she doesn't like him but because of his goofy character). then maybe the elite tease her about rumors that he has a crush on her but to deflect she joins in on making fun of him but he overhears it and is like "oh so you think i'm a joke :("
Ahhh thank you kindly. I try to keep things generally kayfabe as best I can so I hope it’s cool that I did it with in-character Danhausen! I think I made it work? :o The Elite are mean here and this is my first stab at Danhausen spice which was…an interesting experience. I’m a little rusty after my break so I hope this is okay. Thanks so much for requesting; please enjoy!
Pairing: Danhausen x OFC. Rating: M. Warnings/Content: Some spicehausen and angst. Word Count: 2017.
Tag List (asked to be added/removed!): @alyhull @boutmachines @chrisdickinson @lghockey @rubyred1980 @sillynilly27 @simoneinside

Tumblr media
“Soooo, I heard a rumor…”
An inelegant snort scrunched her nose and put a pause on her pre-match ritual. Matt Jackson wiggled his eyebrows at her from the doorway. Uh oh, she didn’t like that. She smiled at him, the very well constructed image of unphased.
“Someone’s been watching too much Umbrella Academy,” she remarked. Boots finally laced, she laced her fingers behind her back and stretched forward. A deep pop pulled a sigh out of her and then she straightened up. “A rumor, huh? Alright, fine I’ll bite. What kind of rumor?”
Rumors in the business that they were skirted all along the spectrum from barely a concern to ah, fuck. Something in Matt’s face would surely tell her which one it was but then Nick stepped into the room, followed by Adam, and her heart lurched toward the deep end. All with the same, shit-eating smiles that she could only deflect for so long. Adam glanced between the two brothers then pointed at her and pulled one hand back in a bastardized parody of a…gesture, a trait that she was all too familiar with.
Her mouth went dry.
“A very nice, very dorky one,” Adam said with a too-loud laugh that hurt her ears. Hurt something else in her chest but with her mouth as dry as it was, her thoughts too frantic, she couldn’t put a name to what that was. “You really haven’t heard? Ostrich meet sand much, huh?”
Her jaw ached and the taste of copper took longer than she wanted for it to go away. It could have gone better but right then, everything just felt worse. She wasn’t unfamiliar with losses but this one felt different and it hung like a shadow over her. A chance to prove herself to The Elite, to go beyond where she was. And she had let it fall through.
“How are your teeth?”
She picked her head up and locked eyes with a man, or demon perhaps, that seemed to always find himself in her gravity. What to make of him, she never quite locked on to any one feeling. He sat down beside her and looked at her expectantly, eyes wide. He held a little black velvet bag in his hands and it bounced when he jostled his legs.
“They’re fine, all accounted for,” she answered with a slim smile. The one he always managed to pull from her no matter how shitty she felt. One day she would have to ask what magic, what curse, that was. “Why?”
“If you had lost one, Danhausen was going to give you a new one,” he answered simply, the corner of his mouth lifted into a crooked smirk. “Your smile is nice like it is, it would be a shame to–Ah, yes, the one you’re doing right now!”
She laughed and winced but truthfully, didn’t mind the ache. 
“I’ll curse the person who takes it away from you.”
“No kidding,” Matt followed up. The light of the room glinted off his dangling earrings and she squinted as she came back to the moment. “It’s the newest ‘hot goss’ and y’know, I usually walk right by the rumor mill but I’m just so baffled and fascinated by this one that I had to ask. We had to ask.”
Nick hummed an affirmative and watched her closely.
“What are you guys even talking about?”
Her brain stumbled over the possibilities and her hand curled into a fist behind her back. Focused on the half-moon pressure from her nails. Tried not to focus on how the bite of nail into flesh warmed her with memory, the way it elicited a response down her spine. It was their fault for reminding her of…of him. 
Between blinks, her eyes narrowed. A thought cleaved right through her.
Had he…? She couldn’t fathom that he had. Not with the way his hand entwined with hers and he smiled that goddamned smile that shouldn’t have done what it did to her head and her stomach and the damned heart in between. Her eyes cut away from the men in front of her and she burned a hole into the wall.
“I want to just…I want to feel good,” she told him. Nearly chest to chest with him, her fingers tight in the long dark shirt he wore. Another rough night, another smile he pulled from her. She wanted to know what else he could coax out of her. “That’s…I want that. You. Tonight.”
A brimstone heat simmered in his eyes and he traced along the angle of her jaw. Down her neck, over the hint of clavicle from her shirt’s lopsided opening. 
“Good, hmm? Danhausen doesn’t do good,” he said and his tone, a tease from a smoky corner, nearly buckled her knees. “But nice…I can do that. For you.”
His hands dropped from her face and slid under her shirt, to feel along the hot skin of her stomach that heaved and trembled from his touch. To squeeze her waist and thumb along the underside of her breast. His thumbs, softer than she expected, circled around her pebbled nipples and she caught his mouth in a harsh kiss.
Her jaw ached and she didn’t care. His fingers cradled the angle of bone and skin, his lips insistent upon hers as they walked further back into the shadow of his room. Every sound she made, he swallowed it and hummed with satisfaction. Then a noise, a growl, rumbled through him and he searched her mouth with his tongue. Hungry for more. 
His mouth hovered by hers when she pulled away, lips slightly parted as he panted.
“You’re not counting my teeth, are you?”
He grinned against her mouth and her shocked laughter died down when he gently pushed her back onto the bed. Stripped his shirt off and he looked at her with a seriousness, an attentiveness, she hadn’t expected.
There he was, always surprising her.
Her fingertips learned the intricacies of the tattoos down his arms, her mouth the juncture between his neck and shoulder. He didn’t tease her. Every moan from her lips and squeeze of her muscles around his fingers, his tongue, told him exactly where he needed to be and he never relented. Never strayed. He watched her, dark eyes on the heave of her breast and the twist of her bottom lip between her teeth. The way her breath hitched and she said his name.
She had never met anyone like him and swathed in bliss from his tongue alone, she had told him as much with soft breaths. Fingers in his hair as he trailed black kisses up the curve of her body.
“Hmm, was that nice? It sounded like it was nice but Danhausen can never be sure,” he said as he pressed his hips against hers. He angled her head back and kissed along her throat. “What’s the saying, there’s charm in the third time?”
He asked her and she huffed, a blush on her face as she smiled with her lip between her teeth. On instinct, her thighs cradled his hips between them and he placed his hands beside her head. Her half-lidded eyes slid along him. His pale, expressive face. The dark of his eyes and the wicked, crooked curve of his mouth still slicked with her…
“Keep being nice to me.”
Adam’s grin grew and his eyes sparkled and she fucking hated him for it when her gaze snapped back to him. He widened his stance a little, arms folded. Smug and almost satisfied.
“The company’s resident gremlin has a crush,” he said. “On someone in this room and way more elite than he is or could ever dream to be in whatever hole he calls a house. And it’s not me, it’s not Matt, it’s not Nick. So, that leaves only one of us.”
A…crush? Was that it? He said, she said around the office? Her fist loosened behind her back and slowly, with every confused breath, air refilled her lungs. She found her words.
“Really? This is so juvenile,” she said with a furrowed brow. Anything to get away from this line of questioning. “I have a match to get to, guys, come on. You’re really going to make me late because of what, Danhausen rumors?”
“We know, we know, but hold on a second,” Nick said. He didn’t grin the way the other two did. Instead, he frowned some. “That’s not the only thing we heard. Not by a long shot. We also heard that you just might like this dorky gremlin back. Is that true? It’s not, right? Tell me it’s not because wow, that would be…Something else. I’d be embarrassed for you.”
“Worse than embarrassed,” Adam cut in. “Do you know how that would look? You going for the biggest clown in the circus?”
The loss of the Elite, the loss of the status she had earned, where she had climbed to. The possibilities crowded her and she needed to breathe. The way they looked at her, the accusation, the confusion, and regretfully, the shame, had her mouth moving before she could stop it. Anything to get away, anything to get them off her ass. Time slowed and her teeth weirdly felt too sharp in her mouth, a poisonous flavor on her tongue that twisted her stomach as she brushed past them to get to the door.
“Are you serious? Of course it's not true,” she said as she teetered precariously on the knife edge of calm. She turned on her heel to face them.“Like you said, he’s a…” She hesitated. “A dorky gremlin and I don’t waste my time with the jokes this place likes to throw money at. Seriously, guys? I thought you knew me better than that and that I have a thing called standards. Happy?”
“Are you?”
A voice decidedly not Adam’s, Matt’s, or Nick’s, sounded softly behind her and she sucked in a breath. Danhausen, arms loosely folded in front of him, came into view as she turned around. His quiet, dejected look wounded her and pinpricks crawled across her eyes. Before the others could throw in their opinion, she stepped out and shut the door behind her. Less than a foot between her and Danhausen, paralysis locked her where she was. From fear, shame, regret. Want. She didn’t know.
“What?”
“Your smile,” he said and weakly gestured at her face. “It’s gone.”
“Danhausen, there’s–”
His hand dropped then rubbed the back of his head as he looked back and forth down the hallway. The tired look in his eyes almost stopped up her throat.
“How much of that did you hear?”
A smile wobbled on his face then fell.
“Gremlin isn’t new for me,” he said with a shrug and a thoughtful look to the side, eyes slightly narrowed and nose scrunched. “Dorky gremlin? That one Danhausen doesn’t think he’s heard before.”
“Shit, I’m–I’m so…There’s just…”
She couldn’t get the words out. Panic began to set in.
“Danhausen came here to wish you good luck in your match,” he hesitated. “So, good luck.”
“You don’t have to do that,” she said, her voice tight. “I shouldn’t have said that and, and…”
“You told me to keep being nice to you,” he said in that simple and honest tone of his, the one he had had when he sighed into her neck. Had made her feel so damn good. “So there’s no taking back the good luck. Danhausen already gave it. It’s yours. I…I suppose I will see you around the circus.”
Another moment of hesitation, another heartbeat or ten where their eyes held one another, and then he was gone. As if on cue, the three in the room funneled out into the hallway just as his form vanished.
“What the hell was that?”
Adam stood beside her and watched down the hallway where she looked. Danhausen was already gone and she counted down her breaths. Forced that smile that made her jaw uncomfortable.
“Nothing,” she said quickly and subtly wiped under her eyes. I feel like nothing. I don’t feel nice. “It’s nothing. Let’s just go.”

what media do you like to consume sleepy
You know how my music tastes are all over? So are my media preferences.
I like cheesy, bad Chinese dramas, but also I like really well acted, compelling storyline dramas.
I like anime, though I've only been watching it with friends of late.
I like close knit found family or other variations on friends/coworkers, especially with action or hurt/comfort.
I really, really like emotional gut punches sandwiched in between shenanigans, i.e. the umbrella academy, mash, Ted lasso.
I like silly nonsense, like parodies or bad movies.
I like fan films. Bonus points for blood that you can tell is red colored corn syrup and fantasy settings with power lines in frame.
I like some procedural crime shows, 'cause they're not all made equal! Or have likeable casts! NCIS and Bones are my first choice, but also ncisla or l&osvu.
I like British crime dramas too, like Midsommar Murders and Father Brown.
I like superhero stuff, but it ain't all made equal either. Justice league and young justice were pretty fantastic tho.
I like fantasy stuff, like Merlin or Shadowhunters (but I have THOUGHTS) or The Originals or One Piece!
And I like to snoop out adaptations, whether they're of things I am familiar with or not.
I like movies like a knight's tale and ladyhawke and master and commander and lord of the rings and mission impossible and stardust and top gun and star wars and casablanca and lots of other ones.
And other stuff, too.

I really really really love superheroes and im not sorry, ill talk about some of my favorite stories and concepts in here :)
This is something ive talk about with my bestie and now that i saw that post of how the mcu handles heroes ,i wanted to share it.
HERO SOCIETIES CAN WORK IN DIFFERENT WAYS!!!
BNHA - if you want to be a hero you become a hero and help
Umbrella Academy - If you dont want to be a hero,you retire and do other stuff to help (or not, but friendly reminder that the world is ending in 7 days )
Tiger and Bunny - Heroes help,but this job is fucking ecpensive and hard so you need to get money somehow and you risk being controled which is an empediment to help
The boys - sometimes getting controlled might give you money and status and that could change your ego so you are no longer a hero for the same reasons other heroes exist
And there's other pieces of media and stories who explore other aspects and ideas of heroism liiiike:
Freakazoid! : A parody who comments on popular tropes and nerd culture from the 90s.
Doom Patrol: "yeah, you might be an asshole and suck at stuff,but this is your chance to do something. You dont have to act amd pretend to be a hero to be one."
Ok yeah i love superheroes and i can go on for a while but this is basically all i have to say at the moment.

3, 6, 9 📺
Hey love ! So sorry i'm extremely late to this i'm having a bit of a depressive episode as the kids say lmfao. Tysm for asking and also i really really wanted to be asked 6 & 9, we're so connected !!
3. have you ever quit a show before it finished ? why ?
oh yes so many... the thing about me is I watch a lot of mild to bad tv shows intentionally, like i find it extremely relaxing for some reason (i's a lie i know the reason, the reason is adhd), so my number one reason for quitting a show before it even finishes airing is it went from entertainingly Not That Good to truly shitty and nonsensical. Here are some examples : Elite, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, The Umbrella Academy, Sense 8, Dear White People...
6. which shows do you think are underrated and need more love ?
Ok so the number one underrated show on earth is Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and i could write a whole essay on that but i will try to keep my composure lmfao. But yeah it's one of my favorite shows, i think it's absolute fucking genius, and so it's sooooo frustrating to me that it's SUCH a polarizing show, like, most people just don't get it apparently, i know a total of two people irl that have watched and liked it (aka my now ex-gf and a friend of hers). And I mean i know why it's such a misunderstood show. It's because, as my ex used to say, it's built like a trojan horse : basically the entire thing is satire but it's not made obvious right away so most people just quit before they get it. And it's also like a very specific type of humour i guess, like you gotta love satire, parodies, dark jokes about mental illness and trauma (and just generally that "hit it where it hurts" type humour), and you gotta also be pretty knowledgeable about pop culture (especially musical genres and romance tropes). But yeah it definitely needs more love, i mean it's like it was made for tumblr specifically, more people should give it a try or retry it, yadiyadiyadah.
9. what’s one show you thought you’d hate but turned out to really enjoy?
So there's this little swedish teen drama on Netflix called Young Royals. I don't know if I expected to hate it but i thought "this is gonna be meh for sure, cause it's, you know, a teen drama" but it's actually really good and i'm obsessed with it ?? The thing is the plot is sooo predictable and basic but the actors and directing are so good that it somehow works and you're like "yup this is real life". The main couple has the most insane chemistry i think i've ever seen on TV, the actors all look like real teenagers and real people (they have like acne and fucked up teeth and real bodies and greasy hair), it's just really immersive and super touching. If you like the (gay) romance genre give it a try honestly ! (and even if you don't i think you would agree with me that it's good tbh, i made my ex watch it and she is even pickier than me and doesn't really give a crap about romance and she was into it !). So yeah basically i've watched a lot of teen dramas in my life and it's the only one i genuinely first degree consider a good show. Heartstopper wishes it was even close to that level honestly lmfao.

Just curious what Live Action Tv Shows and Movies do you prefer Crimes,Drama or Mystery or etc mine will be Crime And Hospital shows and movies
Live action? I can’t say I stick to one specific type. I watch Criminal Minds every now and then, and I’ve been binge watching the Walking Dead lately. I also like watching parody and comedy movies, and I love action and fantasy such as Maze Runner, Hunger Games, Wednesday, Stranger Things, and Umbrella Academy. Horror movies like IT are cool too.

(Also Gerard Way too if possible)

The Umbrella Academy Season 3 Episode 1
Why is the CGI so bad in the bit with Marcus on his rooftop working out. Oof.
The first big telling difference between TUA and TSA is that the Sparrows are, for the most part hanging out together.
Wait... did some poor, unsuspecting woman birth Christopher? Or was he just a small cube? Some things aren't worth thinking about.
Poor Mom 😔
When I first saw the dance sequence before the season dropped I almost thought that it was like a parody thing, but I see how they made it work. I also was wondering why the put so much focus on Jayme's weird spit on Diego's cheek.
Poor Klaus just trying to get Ben to remember him. And then to have Luther land on him 😆
Wait so everyone can understand Christopher?
"This haircut was era appropriate!" Oh my god Diego I love you and your unintentional goofiness.
"Who's your daddy?!" Diego please there are others around 😏 BRB gotta go write a fan fic or 12
Ok but Jayme is the bitch I aspire to be.
Are we gonna find out what happened to Alphonso or is he just... like that? He is hilarious in a really deadpan way
"Which one are you? Scruffy? Fatty? Sad girl? I forget the rest." Oh no the person I hate was funny.
Luther do not trust her!!!
I liked the "The Birds" moment
Oh I forgot the umbrella title thing!!
"It's like here you go, here's your ass" lmao omg
Don't go into the light Mom!!
Lester Pocket, hmm
"Smug... smugness" "Keep working on it big guy, you'll land one... eventually"
Still don't understand why they changed it to Hotel Obsidian instead of Hotel Oblivian. Like why can't they leave it the same as the comic.
Why does Alison think that her kid and ex husband are like... as they were pre-timeline fuckups?
Oh god the contents of their pockets 😆
Oh what's up Ben 🥵
The fact that Marcus thought Viktor was number 1 is making me so happy
Oh so they don't trust Marcus? Interesting 🤔 this Ben is evil, but I still love him.
Diego and Luther with food hanging out of their mouths 🤣 like I don't have siblings, but I feel like I understand siblings so much more watching this show
"Spit it out Boomer!" Oh my god 🤣 Diego lmao
"If you see your doppelganger-" "Kill them" "Sleep with them" and that is the characters of Diego and Klaus in a nutshell
Lila!!!!
lmao noo I do not believe Stan is their son nuh uh no way we gotta get Maury on this stat
What does a robot know of God?
No not the dog!!!!
Oh shit Marcus!
What the fuck?!
Holy shit lmao ok episode 2 let's go!!

Top 5 anime for first timers
If you are considering watching anime for the first time and don’t know where to begin, this blog will give you some options to get your teeth into.
Over the past couple of years, anime has become considerably popular outside of Japan and thanks to streaming services such as Netflix, Crunchyroll and Funimation, it has also become easier for people to access and enjoy. The rise of anime is upon us and people are wondering where to get started with it all.
With the increase in popularity, we have also found that some people are hesitant to watch it, thinking it is simply for kids. But let’s get one thing straight, when it comes to anime, age is not a factor. There are many genres of anime and some are marketed at an older audience. Seinen for example is a subset that is generally targeted at a 18–30+ year old male audience. Josei is the same age group, but towards a female audience.
But if you are looking to start your anime adventure, I wouldn’t put an age to anything. Most of us here at Anime Manga UK are in our thirties and we enjoy shonen (which is intended for a slightly younger audience). In our opinion, genre labels don't matter. The only thing that does matter is that you enjoy it.
There is something for everyone if it's a nail biting thriller, a trip to a fantasyland or even a good laugh.
If you are looking for something to watch with breathtaking storylines, vibrant characters, amazing back stories, fantastic action scenes or simply something that will leave you satisfied - then get on the anime bandwagon. Below are five anime that I would recommend for first timers:
1.   Death Note
Tumblr media
So, the first one on our list is the iconic show Death Note, which is full of twists and turns and is a nice short one with only 37 episodes. It is intelligently written, smartly paced, and consistently engrossing. It follows high schooler Light Yagami who discovers a mysterious notebook that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written in it. With this new power, Light tries to ‘cleanse the world from evil’, and effectively plays God. But hot on his heels is a fantastic detective named ‘L’. If you are looking for something to binge over the weekend, this is the one to put on. 
Watch if you enjoy shows like Dexter, Sherlock and Ash Vs Evil Dead.
Watch if you love suspense, supernatural, and psychological thrillers.
2.  Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Tumblr media
If you are looking for adventure and a taste of Shonen, then Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the perfect mix of action, character development and a little bit of the feels. Only 64 episodes, it pulls you in as you go on an adventure with brothers Edward and Alphonse as they try to find the Philosopher’s Stone to restore their bodies. However they aren’t the only ones seeking the stone. Just be aware that there are two Fullmetal Alchemist shows; the first is Fullmetal Alchemist released in 2003, the other is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, released in 2009. I would suggest watching Brotherhood as it follows the source material (manga). Sadly the 2003 version isn’t as good.
Watch if you enjoy shows like Shadow and Bone, Merlin or High Dark Materials.
Watch if you love fantasy, adventure, and action.
3.  One Punch Man
Tumblr media
Now when we first saw the title, we were instantly put off, but this parody show does not follow your usual anime stereotypes. The synopsis of the anime is simple. A superhero who can defeat any opponent with a single punch. It is a hilarious series which is filled with monsters doing stupid things, silly named heroes and full of dialogue that will make you laugh at every corner. If this is your first attempt at the anime genre and love superheroes, I highly recommend watching this show as it is simply brilliant and it might even draw you further into other shows like My Hero Academia or Tiger and Bunny.
Watch if you enjoy shows like The Tick, The Umbrella Academy and The Boys.
Watch if you love comedy, action, and superheroes.
4.  Fruits Basket
Tumblr media
Originally, we were put off by the romance element in this anime, but we're so glad we gave it a chance in the end! Even if you aren’t into soppy stuff, this is just beautifully written from start to finish and you will end up falling in love with all the characters. It is the perfect mixture of supernatural and fantasy with a dash of mystery, romance and drama added in for good measure. The anime follows a recently orphaned girl, who gets caught up in the drama of a strange family who are possessed by the animals of the Chinese zodiac.
Watch if you enjoy shows like  Charmed, A Discovery of Witches and Grimm.
Watch if you love supernatural, romance, and mystery.
5. Naruto
Tumblr media
We weren't going to include Naruto as it has over 700+ episodes (if you include its second part Shippuden). But as this was one of the first shows to get us into anime, we thought it should be included. Naruto is a show that has an amazing storyline which is motivating, inspiring and entertaining. It follows the story of a young kid who wants to have recognition from her peers and to follow his dream to become Hokage (leader of the village). The show is full of amazing characters, adventure, bad-ass fight scenes and has something for everyone.
Watch if you enjoy shows like  Iron Fist, Wu Assassins and Into The Badlands.
Watch if you love martial arts, adventure, and fantasy.
Thanks,
