I’ve seen The leader, Sword, come and To be Hero.

Have watched older anime like HxH, Parasyte, Ranma ½ etc.
Recently noticed Donghuas and was curious about them.

    Link Click S1 is good, and also the only donghua I’ve watched. S2 is less good but still fine, and it resolves the cliffhanger end of S1.

    For anime, some recs by genre.

    Action:

    • Mob Psycho 100
    • One Punch Man S1 (S2 is fine but nowhere near as good)
    • Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
    • Chainsaw Man

    Fantasy:

    • Delicious In Dungeon
    • Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End

    Comedy:

    • Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun
    • Kaguya-Sama: Love is War
    • Nichijou
    • Bocchi The Rock
