I loveee long hair male leads, and I was watching Horimiya but I got SO DISAPPOINTED 😭 when Miyamura cut his (granted he's adorable with short hair too, and I loved the series regardless), but i wanted to watch smth w a long hair ML the whole way through. Minimum shoulder-length, and romance theme (high school is best but not mandatory) please, if any has any recs? Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I've been watching anime for about a decade now and have probably clocked in somewhere between 600 to 1,000 shows.

Unfortunately, I only discovered trackers and list sites halfway through my journey. I might finally bite the bullet and log everything, but that depends on finding the right site for what I want to do next!

I recently realized that I've almost exclusively watched popular genres and mainstream hits. I usually just look up the "top ten" posts for the current season and follow those. Because of this, I know I’ve missed out on some incredible hidden gems and less popular shows.

My Request:

Could anyone kindly suggest the best sites or databases that can help me sort out anime for each year, starting from 2000 onwards (or earlier if a show is an absolute must-watch)? I specifically need something with great filtering options so I can sort by both year and genre/tags.

My goal is to go back through the years and pick out about 20-30 shows per year (more or less, depending on the season) that slipped under my radar.

I am already aware of AniList and MAL (MyAnimeList). Are those still the absolute best options for this kind of deep-dive filtering, or are there other hidden gem databases (like AniDB, Anime-Planet, or Kitsu) that you’d highly recommend for digging up older, niche series?

Any advice or site recommendations would be massively appreciated.

Thanks!

I’ve checked out a bunch of shows this season already, but most of them feel kinda avreage so far. Nothing really grabbing me.

I’m mainly looking for new series (not sequel) that stand out something with a strong hook, unique style, or just really well-executed.

For reference, I’ve already tried quite a few of the popular ones this season, so feel free to suggest anything.

This whole thing started last week, while watching the first episode of "The ramparts of ice". Since it starts with Koyun being scared to open up due to what happened in middle school (and because of the title) i thought we would get to see more of her past trauma, how it affects her now, and also maybe Minato helping her throught it because that's kinda what it looked like would happen in episode 1. I started reading the manga right away, and i've now reached chapter 101 (last chapter translated til now). Even tho i'm sooo hooked in the story and can't wait for the rest, i was kinda disappointed to realise it doesn't explore the trauma in detail. We do get glimpses of how everyone feels and thinks based on past experiences, which is great to understand each characters and their actions, i guess i was just hoping for it to focus more on the emotional pain of experiencing something traumatic in the past and having someone help you through it? Also, i think being a psychology student doesn't help either lmao

Anyways, does anyone have anime/manga recommendations similar to what i described? I would prefer if the female lead was the one with the past trauma, but whatever recommendations you have are fine

Every season i end up saving a bunch of shows thinking I'll keep up… then a few weeks later I've dropped half of them and forgot what the rest were even about.

I usually lean toward isekai so I've probably watched way too many of those already. But I'm trying to be a bit more selective this time instead of just jumping into everything.

For people actually keeping up this season, what’s been worth sticking with so far and didn’t fall off after a few episodes.

i need new reccos!!!!
