If you ever search for a comedy, I'd recommend Nichijou. It's one of the bests.
However if you do decide to watch it, please just forget the questions why? and how? and just go with the flow. :)
Ratatouille is a mecha 🐀👨🍳
Aot is in fact a mecha and I dont want to discuss why

I know its a meme but mecha is more of an aesthetic rather than "piloting something". Also mecha comes from mechanical so that shoots down "flesh mechas"

Noticed how he pronounced “Seinen“ like “Seenen“ at first but immediately switched to “Seinen“ after hearing?
shoutout to Golden Kamuy for being actually funny. the primary genre for it is seinen, but I think most of the funniest anime are actually funny because their humor isn't the primary point. like, a lot of them are actually more action/drama on the surface, and their jokes come up naturally over the course of the plot. that way, even if there is a recurring joke or two, it's more like a naturally formed in-joke, rather than a shoehorned repetitive forced punchline.
I feel like depression should be an anime genre. I still haven't fully recovered from technolyze and that was over a decade ago.
Mecha is a genre that becomes good depending on the story that is told with it.
for example, Gundam is so enduring because it's so much more than the mechs. a lot of the plots are about the inherent darkness of giving up your autonomy to a giant war machine. the characters may be in the pilot chair, but rarely are they really in control of their fate. it's about the characters suffering as pawns of a higher power, and the dehumanization of being sent to fight in conflicts where you have more in common with the soldiers on the other side, than you do with your commanding officer. anyone on the battlefield lacked the means to avoid being there... their primary stake in the game is simply not wanting to die.
I actually love Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team for this, because so often, the characters will fight tooth and nail against Zaku unit after Zaku unit... and truly, they look like these terrifyingly inhuman automatons that roam through the landscape and threaten the life of the mobile suits that are their enemies. but the instant you crack open the cockpit and there's a person whose face you can see... the dynamic shifts instantly. it may not mean that the fighting ends... but the humanity of the soldiers on the other side becomes instantly harder to ignore.
mecha anime is always at its best when it's actually about the humans that are in those machines.
Your first line is true for every single genre for story telling in any medium.
@@xcalixus sure, but that's why my first line proceeds the rest of what I wrote, so that I could elaborate on what I meant in terms of mecha, specifically. in the video, Nick was basically saying that he found mecha to be unappealing, and I think it's because he's seeing all of the mecha genre to be sort of like the old transformers cartoons, where the storytelling is kinda empty, and mostly in service of Put Big Robot On The Screen. my point is that the good mecha shows use the giant robots in creative ways to tell human stories. and giant robots are not a feature of every genre. they are a feature of specifically the mecha genre.
hence, mecha can be good, depending on the stories that you use them to tell.
What a beautiful explanation(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
@@volkanyavruturk1213 thank you ^_^❤
that's why shows like gundam, evangalion, and gurren laggan is so good its because the focus is not on the mecha itslef but the mechs is just a medium to shows the conflict
I am happy he included The World God Only Knows alongside The 100 Girlfriends as one of the few harem anime/manga to recommend to people. It really deserves it with how good the plot and MC is.
Sekirei is also part of that list.
@@evernightcg9081 true I’d stick with the manga version of it though. Same with The World God Only Knows. Rosario+Vampire falls under that category too. They made the anime nothing but fanservice pandering starting season 2 going with an anime-only season. The manga didn’t have much fanservice and had amazing fighting scenes and some great plot points to it as well.
Negima as well. After the first couple arcs in Negima in the manga, the plot begins picking up and although there’s still fanservice, the plot and action continues increasing even more and more becoming fantastic. So my favorite harem manga (staying as manga as the manga tend to be better) in no order: Negima, Sekirei, Rosario+Vampire, The World God Only Knows, and The 100 Girlfriends.
Light novel wise, I also like Tenchi Muyo GXP. I still need to watch the OG Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVAs. Oh, I also liked Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure the spin-off/parallel to Tenchi Muyo’s universe…
Hm…I watched and read quite a lot of harem anime and manga when I was younger…well at least they were good ones! ^^
Yesss
What " plot " ? Lol
@@NarutoTsunadefan1 everything you said about Rosario and sekirei is crap holy shit
Bang Brave Bang Bravern = best romance
Romance??
@@saiyan_hashirama709 yup! if you don't know anything about it, just... trust me.
@@saiyan_hashirama709 (also, I highly recommend it, if you like fun and have 12 episodes worth of time on your hands)

@@rideawheelcardgamesformyhomela after episode 11, I think it really is just romance... in the weirdest way possible.
17:28 ive got 2 recommendations for mechas, Neon Genesis Evangelion to give you depression and then Gurren Lagann to cure your depression
currently watching the OG Gundam and it fucking slaps too, he should dive into THAT rabbit hole lmao
evangelion doesn't really give depression, just confusion
I am also around 30 ep for og@@user-ek3jz1io7e
Gurren Lagan makes muscles grow.
The Real Robot Trilogy: Gundam, Macross, Votoms
Ecchi is not the same as hentai. Hentai is anime that shows them actually doing it. Ecchi is just the fanservice scenes.
Also a lot of people use the word ecchi.
The funny thing is that some ecchi shows lately (Ishuzoku Reviewers, Redo of Healer, etc.) have depicted the characters doing it, but they avoided genitals shot to not make it a hentai 😂
Yes, but why bother watching ecchi when hentai exists. It's like why go watch girls dance and strip when you can go buy a prostitute for the same money.
The amount of times I see people, even people who have watched numerous mecha already and liked them, go "idk if I'll ever get into mecha" is kinda crazy.
And I was the same way, but I already forgot what that was like ngl.
Try not to be intimidated, there is no perfect starting point and no perfect path. Hot-Blooded or passionate Super Robot shows can be a starting point and so can comparatively more realistic Real Robot shows like most Gundams.
I personally enjoy the history and passion behind it, and watching older ones to then see the nods, similarities, references and even responses in other shows feels great for me. You can point to the some odd mecha shows, look into them and see the line/rabbit hole that made it come to be, it's sick!
But you can find your own favorite aspects!
Or you'll learn why you do or don't like mecha. That sits better with me than the uncertainty I see a lot.
For getting into mecha, I would recommend watching Gurren Lagann as you can tell from my pfp it's amazing lol
if you're becoming a shojo channel, jump into the deep end immediately by watching Revolutionary Girl Utena!
it might actually just kill you on the spot, immediately... it's like divers getting horrible physical ailments from sinking into the depths too quickly. you aren't ready.
Naah hed better go straith to Shojo Ai, like Citrus)
Holy shit, he'll definitely die after the first arc. The anime really gets brutally dark when it reaches the black rose arc.
@@KateBrod and confusing too! like, some parts of the Black Rose arc are 0% text, 100% subtext. I love it for that, but damn, you're not getting a single straight answer until at least a rewatch after you've seen the whole series at least once.
@@IDKLOL-qj7sl I agree. Once I got kinda over the Akio situation and managed to focus on the rest, I was majorly confused with everything that was happening on the screen and the fact that no one seemed to notice.
@@KateBrod yeah, and like, the whole Anthy to Mamiya connection is only understandable in hindsight. it's only after the (mostly visual, not verbal) reveal that Anthy was playing the role of Mamiya to manipulate Mikage, that we really even understand how much power Anthy has. up until this point, Anthy has played a very convincing victim role... so there's really not much precedent for the viewer to think that Anthy could be capable of this, even if a lot of her actions make way more sense in hindsight with that knowledge.
it's a really good story beat, but it's such a huge shift in your perception of a character that it almost takes a while for you to reorient yourself to the new information. it's great in terms of recontextualization though.
The Naruto spoiler was so far removed from what Nick’s watching right now that he didn’t even recognize it😭
I recommend Inazuma eleven! It’s a sports anime where the characters’ soccer moves are basically magic powers, and It includes antagonists taking performance enhancing drugs and even “aliens”. it was my childhood and I haven’t seen anyone react to it.
Yesss it was my first anime, I got super invested and I've also never seen reactions to it!! I'll say idk how much an adult could like it, I think it's very much something targeted towards a younger audience but I still love it in my 20s so maybe everyone should just give it a try and see for themselves.
One missing genre is "BL" or "Boys Love", which may be categorised as Shojo or Rommance
Also referred to as Yaoi & could be classed in Ecchi, rarely as a harem.
Its opposite referred to as Yuri (GL = Girl Love).
@@OfficialSailorDeimos BL and Yaoi are not the same thing
@@laurainathunderstorm 1 is soft another is hardcore. Both are guy x guy.
@@OfficialSailorDeimos I don't need to, you have the correct difference, but the point was that they're not the same thing so saying "also refered to as Yaoi" isn't true.
They were originally classed as the same thing until ppl split it into 2 sides.
I generalize guy x guy as yaoi reguardless of soft or hard.
"Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is a shojo, but at the same time it is also an extremely "depressing" anime.
*slaps show* this thing can fit SO MUCH mental trauma per episode.
20:20
I mean, *Bakarina's Harem is technically a Mixed Harem.
(* My Next Life As A Villainess All Routes Lead To Doom)
Dungeon Meshi is probably my favorite comedy anime/manga right now
"Why is she sitting on Ichigos head?"
I actually laughed at that lol
Nick your brain is a meat computer piloting a skeleton wearing flesh armor, full of numerous working components. We are mechs.
By extension-Titans are mechs
You have to watch Grand Blue if you want to watch a good comedy anime, I am 100% certain that you will love it
I have been a fan of Slice of Life fan for almost 15 years now. It's the anime genre that I vibe the most with. With that said, I have enjoyed the rest of the genre mentioned here. There is an anime for everybody, it's awesome.
K-On and Yuru camp being my Top2 animes of all time (I watched over 700 shows) is a testament how down bad I am for SoL
@@mirai7233 That's awesome. K-on! is in my top 10
Ping Pong the animation is GOD TIER sport anime
That was a timeless masterpiece.... it was just perfect.
I can see Nick being in G Gundam for mecha genre tbh. It's basically Dragon Ball with giant robot, they even their own Kamehameha.
Also I'm just ranting here.
Nick you said mecha might be too much for you. My brother in christ, you are willing to watch hundreds of episode of various shonen animes.
Holy shit Nick would fucking Love G Gundam, especially the English Dub! It’s literally Street Fighter with badass mechs and some of the coolest characters ever.
The fact that anime has entire genres revolving around being sent to alternative world or mechas is kinda crazy. I mean it's crazy how commonly those themes are used to make them into whole genres.
Isekai is my favorite genre
21:55 I hate harem genre,and the ONLY exception I give is if its a comedy harem. But, The World God Only Knows,is another exception, cause you THINK its a harem and romance, but it gets ..serious cool plot in s2/s3
We need Nick to react to Konosuba, him and Kazuma would probably be friends
Edit: He also needs to see the Deer fight from Nichijou
I think if Nicholas watch a shoujo it should be the new one called A Sign of Affection, they don't fuck around too much in this show, so it should be a good one to start
There's 5 anime that made me laugh out loud
Bocchi the rock
Kaguya-sama
One Punch Man
Nichijou
Eminence in shadow
8:59
The best example of this is the 'ecsta-pee' scene in 100 girlfriends.

Harem: The World God only knows
D.Gray-Man doesn't get anywhere near enough love.
Holy shit, I think it's the first time I see someone mention ACCA. That anime was so interesting and so underrated.
If you want to start a comedy watch Grandblue dreaming
The World God Only Knows is actually the only harem anime that I enjoyed, and all the openings are bangers.
I love that anime, just a shame that many will not see it due it being kinda old
Sekirei?
@@evernightcg9081 Never watched, but seems like the average battle/ecchi stuff that used to come out every season few years ago.TWGOK managed to be a harem series with barely any ecchi on it, relying solely on comedy and actual plot, so don't even bring this kind of stuff in the conversation.
@@andrepacheco4046" plot"
Lol
I watched The Quintessential Quintuplets without realising it was harem😂
He's wrong, there was Isekai's prior to that like Shurato is actually also a shounen type show with multiple heroes, in the veins of saint seyia. But the main characters are transport into another world.
Another anime that comes to mind is Fushigi Yuugi where a girl goes inside a book and another world.
But it wasn't a theme like it's today.
Grand Blue will make you addicted to comedy anime
Akatsuki no Yona is actually really good. Great female main character 🎉
Nana, fruits basket, and horimiya are some of my all time faves
Gintama here we go
Chihayafuru is a sports anime, don't get it twisted!
2:40 Dr.Stone. I need not to say more.
🚨🚨Wee woo wee woo🚨🚨 hater alert 🚨
What gag are you talking about? I watched Sr. Stone and I don't remember a repeating gag
not Dr Stone blud💀💀💀
Spy X Family makes a lot more sense once you realize that it's a sitcom.
I could see you getting into G Gundam. It's a self contained story so you don't need to watch any other Gundam shows and it's basically a giant tournament arc in giant robots. It's fun.
Rose of Versailles could just be a Seiren anime, the first half of the series is very misleading, heck the main characters are from the aristocracy before the french revolution, no brainer that s***t gonna hit the fan lol
12:16 rose of Versailles. Holy shit I feel old.
One of the best anime out there
There was an Attack on Titan musical in Japan fairly recently.
They don't have musical theatre. They have Kabuki YOIYOI!
Isnt the sailor moon author married to the hxh author?
yes.
You like the song the background is because it Guiles Theme from Street fighter
Finally, a video that gives credit to Zero no Tsukaima for coining the modern isekai.
If there is an anime that I want Nick to react to, it is Gintama. I have a feeling he would love it.
フルーツバスケットは少女漫画原作ですが男性でも楽しめます。私は何度も見て泣きました。
ダイナミックコードやヒプノシスマイクは多少おかしいことを承知で楽しめるかもしれませんが、たぶんニックは嫌いだと思います。
おすすめは「ハンサム学園」です。
Given that you liked Attack on Titan I imagine you could feasibly enjoy the Universal Century (the main timeline) Gundams. Hardest part is just figuring out a watch order, which I'll admit is annoying but it's easy to google and half of them are optional side-stories anyways.
Where's horror?
Nicolas, picking up some shojo was unironically a great idea. There are tons of amazing gems down there!
Well you can call shounen as anime for tourist too
Try Grand blue, the first two episodes will give you a good idea about comedy anime :D
Please post your reaction to every anime trope explained
Sit and listen quietly. Isn't that right? I can still talk.
As much as I liked Familiar of Zero, I think Digimon should get an honorable mention as one of the early isekai animes.
Familiar of Zero feels like a fever dream tbh, I watched it when I was very new to anime, the tropes confused me and I never see anyone acknowledge it's existence 😂
21:18 is Team 7 vs Kaguya or in this case more specifically Naruto and Sasuke vs Kaguya. This is also Naruto using Shadow clones jutsu and then using transformation jutsu at the same time. in other words his "sexy" jutsu is being used in "reverse" so u get a ton a naked guys instead of women. 😄
alright imma edit this with the famous "PREWATCHED" because at 22:16 Nich went back saw the naruto shit then skipped forward hahahahahahahaha, saying he didnt know anything xD
Konosuba is a great comedy anime, in many ways. Perfect for reactions as well!
So Gundam all i want to say its a hell of journey, every tittle your ever heard or seen before mostly about 12-50 run episode. I started with this franchise when new Gundam announce which is Witch from Mercury (2022). Its worth it? YES and maybe kinda hard to atract new audiance cuz the very first anime Gundam were 1979. Zeta is peak.
Just curious if anyone knows how many anime’s has Nick done?
"I'd rather ride on that man than any snowboard anime ever" Pause...
Dragon Maid is HILARIOUS.
hell yes, where are the gay and/or bisexual harems?!??!!!! this is what my bisexual ass really needs. like, come on now, we live in 2024, do we not?? there is so much untapped potential there, like, all the fun of a good yuri or BL, plus the straight harem dynamics we all know and love, but freshened up with the way they'd interact with the gay side of things... harem authors could get so inventive with this type of thing, and it'd actually make the harem protagonist more interesting, or at least give them more interesting things to contend with.
tbh, this is why Haruhi Fujioka still reigns supreme as the crown prince of harem anime. she's a nonbinary icon, she's got boys smitten, girls smitten, and all the confidence to not give a shit about any of the drama that could've caused for a protagonist that was any less of a chad about it. Ouran High School Host Club stays winning. I just need a story with a similar ethos that is about like... actual adults. please, we've progressed as a society, we can do this, I need it. T_T
I think the closest it gets is My Next Life as a Villainess all Routes lead to Doom? It's a mixed harem anime.
Nothing to do with harem but a romcom with very much bisexual vibes is Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, but you'd probably have to read the manga afterwards bc the anime didn't get a second season and it's been years.
@@laurainathunderstorm oooh! I've watched Nozaki-kun and that one is also really good! I need to check out the manga still, I had a ton of fun with the anime. I've also checked out Villainess, though i was watching with a friend who got really busy, so we didn't get too far past a certain point before dropping it by accident. I might have to go back and just watch it on my own... I remember liking it!
@@IDKLOL-qj7sl wow! Rarely see someone that has watched Nozaki-kun, I really enjoyed it as well. Can't say I have any other recs for the topic, I'm not big on harem or harem-ish anime, and it's been a long while since I've watched any romance.
@@laurainathunderstorm yeah, tbh, I'm not that much of a harem centric fan myself... I just like ensemble casts mostly. so for example, right now my main new favorite anime is Dungeon Meshi. but it feels like I hear about harem anime a lot in anime community conversations, and they tend to have so many of the same tropes, premises, and complaints from the audience, that it just feels like the genre could benefit from being shaken up. and this conversation has basically covered all the mixed gender harems I've ever heard of, which feels like an oversight. ^^;
@@IDKLOL-qj7sl true true, I feel like I'd enjoy harem more if the MCs were more interesting mainly, I rarely find anything wrong with the harem members except for their overall bad taste 😅and the occasional extreme tsunderes. If we go by ensemble cast then Horimiya is pretty good but it's really big so my guess is you've already watched it? I do love me some sports anime tho, so I'd rec Tsurune, it's not really well known but I enjoyed it, I heard it got new content recently, a movie I think but I haven't had time to check it out.
On a completely different vein I liked Buddy Daddies a lot, if you want found family feels give it a shot.
Day 1 of asking Nicholas to watch (Grand blue)
fr its funniest anime I have ever watched
at this rate Nicholas Light will know everything there is
He's a ween already
the world god only knows is a fuckin masterpiece harem
you dropped vinland saga right???
As what do we clasify keijo!!! ? It's a weird but still intriguing show, with hints to other animes
Yes TWGOK is actually good. Not just about harem . U’ll get it 22:00
The best mecha anime is eureka seven, watch it with the wife it’s a romance too
Tsurune one of the best sports anime, focusing more on the MC mental health more than the sport itself
Surprised that they didn’t recommend Gundam 00 for modern type, bruh the genocide and the conflicts are relatable even at this point of time
God only knows have a banger op
While not an exact genre here, time loop's or death loop's I love, re zero the obvious example
dude if you wanna see an amazing mecha watch 86
Its pretty mid
@@AtomicZamurai your face is mid
@@AtomicZamurai I agree with deenman, your face is mid
Snow White with the Red Hair mention!!! I loved that anime (never finished it now that I think about it 😅).
Nicholashojo tv = yes!
Rose of Versailles is the best shojo anime
Nicholas reacts to Sailor Moon? YES, PLEASE!
What is this okami ost on fantasy genre?
Gintama is by far the best anime of u want comedy and mix of serious emotions
Saiki Kusuo best comedy, and this is a fact
For comedy, give Yakitate!! Japan a try. It's based around becoming the best baker and the mix of seriousness and comedy are golden.
22:11 "Naruto spoiler" 😂😂😂
No link to the sauce in description? Guess i'll have to look for it...
SEINEN rules
86 the best Mecca imo,You should try watching it
You need to watch prison school , saiki k, grand blue before gintama
I always hear people say things like Prison School is the excessive amounts of fan service but imo its still one of the funniest animes ive watched
Nick watch hajime no ippo its goated fr
You should definitely do Sailor moon reactions
Yamada Kun and the seven witches is your bisexual harem nick
As it is my favorite manga, I 100% agree. Plus the ending works so well with the characters
WHY DID YOU DROP SPY?
How is not Gurren Lagann in the modern gundam recomendations?
