The fourth wall – it is what separates characters from reality. To an anime character, their reality should be the world that is created. However, it can often be fun when they become a bit self aware that they are, in fact, an anime character. Whether it is talking shit about what is going on around them or even how they are animated or written, fourth wall breaking can be fun if used sparingly. However, if you are looking for particularly meta anime series, there are quite a few. Gintama Likely the most famous fourth wall breaker, or at least the series most well know for it, Gintama knows how to do it without taking away from the show. As a primarily comedy-oriented series, being meta works really well in Gintama. They do a lot of parodies so having a character jump through the TV and murder the author for making a gorilla that is more well-liked doesn’t seem out of place. Bleach Super surprising, right? If you were more of a manga reader

I know each and everyone of you has a list of anime characters that you love. You admire them for their deeds, their personality, or their strength. Let me tell you, at least one of the characters on that list is probably a badly written character. A lot of times, main characters can be propped up by things that happen around them, meaning the anime was good, but they as a character can be as bland as white rice. Goku From Dragon Ball Z I’m going to come out the gate going right for the jugular. Many love Dragon Ball, myself among them. However, putting all those epic fights and beloved childhood memories aside, when you look at Goku as a singular entity – he kind of sucks. The only thing that grows about him in Dragon Ball Z is his physical strength (and his hair in SSJ3). His one notable character flaw is that he is kind of a terrible father and husband, but that is never given any focus, you just kind of notice it. That aside, Goku as a kid

It’s our 3rd birthday! Recommend Me Anime is turning three this year, and across those three years, we’ve covered tons of anime series. Just over 475 articles, half of those recommendations for series you watched and liked, the other half are lists to help guide you towards aspects of anime that you’d like to watch more of. Within all that are hundreds of different series. However, while there is indeed a lid for every pot, so to speak, not all of these anime series we have watched are great shows. In fact, many of them we wouldn’t personally recommend to friends because we just didn’t like them that much. So I thought it would be fun to cover our personally not recommended anime on this, the day of the site’s birth. Kodomo No Jikan The honest truth?
