Started watching Revolutionary Girl Utena, and holy shit Chuchu is FUCKING ADORABLE! Up there with Pochita from Chainsaw Man.

Who is your cutest anime animal? Bonus points if that anime is also really good.

I feel like this one looks so familiar, whats the anime its from?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's Kyubey, from Madoka.

You may recognize it as the clear inspiration (well, the face anyway) for Moopsey from Lower Decks.

Nobody's mentioned Kero-chan Cardcaptor yet somehow

I'd also like to mention Chikuwa Yurucamp

I would die for baby Laboon in One Piece

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hear OP is great (heh), but arent there like 1000 episodes? Where would I start if I wanted to give it a shot?

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would recommend reading it. It is way better paced. It took me like 3 months to read while the Anime took me like a year to get halfway. Also the manga atm is peak and getting better and better.

[–] KimJongFun@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The manga is way better paced for sure, and the anime pacing gets almost literally unwatchable ~700 episodes in. I do love the Japanese voice cast though, and there are moments I'd definitely recommend finding and watching the adaptations of once you've read them. You'll know them when you see them

If the length ever feels like a drag you can always take breaks after an arc, though I do recommend people first watch or read to the end of the East Blue saga at least (50ish episodes or 100ish chapters) so they can get a feel for when OP really starts hitting its stride

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The East Blue saga is episodes 1 to 50? I might do that after my current watch

[–] KimJongFun@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1-53 to be exact. Incidentally, OP also has a bunch of small filler arcs that are very skippable, the first one starting right after that in episode 54

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'll give that a go!

He is not afraid to fight for the cutest animal title.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everything about these series of images is hilarious

It's my favorite comedy slice of life sometimes Shonen anime. There's a few episodes that are kinda problematic with some cross dressing characters but for a 400+ episode series it's hard to get too shitty about it.

[–] SnAgCu@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

it's sakamoto

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nichijou. It's also the cutest anime

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sick, I'll look into it! Whats it about?

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's an absurdist slice of life that's done in sketches some of which are part of an overall episode story and there's a bit of a season arc (it only got one season). Azumanga Daioh is probably the closest but it's really doing its own thing.

Also every once in a while it animates super minor stuff in a super over the top way that reflects how the moment feels irl
