"Feel free to return the favor and come up with annoyingly specific requests for me to try to figure out, I will do my best as well." ~ Warpuppy, 2021.
Alright, then. I'll call your bluff!
So, here's a list of requests that I need in my life right now. Hope you guys can help out and I'll watch and review anything that I manage to get through.
1 - Dudes in distress: Absolute favourite trope! Similar to damsels in distress but obviously with guys instead. I've watched a lot of these but always on the hunt for more. Most notable examples would be Karneval, Nabari no Ou and Natsume's Book of Friends. I think it's the fujoshi/fudanshi side of me but I really do just love it when the guy's in trouble and someone needs to save them. (Doesn't have to be the main character in distress, I accept side characters so long as they have enough screen time)
2 - Something like Wolf Children: I really loved the countryside/farming aspect of Wolf Children where this single mother is just trying to figure everything out on her own (obviously she gets help later, but still). I think the best way to describe this is iyashikei? Like really soothing and satisfying and you're learning alongside them while also experiencing all the other problems going on in their lives. I saw Silver Spoon is a farming anime but I'm not sure if it's going to have the same vibes as it. But who knows! Something with the same vibes as Ascendance of a Bookworm works as well.
3 - Fantasy with female lead: I've recently started getting back into shoujo and female leads and whatnot and finding them really refreshing (for obvious reasons). Would love to hear if there's any good ones that I haven't checked out yet. Extra points for romance, minus points for bland reverse harem (i.e. fully fleshed out characters and not just whatever personality or character trope they're representing).
4 - Ye olde isekai: So, I recently watched El Hazard and it was awful, but I loved it. Was hoping for some recommendations of other classics (male or female lead). I prefer it if the main character isn't op (because I like the suspense) and for there to be minimum fanservice (I know this is a lot to ask but the title does say 'annoyingly specific requests' (and also by fanservice, I specifically mean boobs)).
5 - Soft boi but op: I don't mean completely op (like I said before, I like the suspense). I'm thinking more like with Rurouni Kenshin where he's super strong but just the sweetest person in the world. Doesn't have to be a samurai, can be any kind of fighter. And once again, would appreciate the lack of harem.
Anyway, that's my list. Hope you've all got something to contribute. Also hoping that I've lived up to Warpuppy's level of specificness but time will tell. Thanks in advance xxxx

I've seen some, but not sure they'd fit this request.
