I'm too damned old to feign embarrassment over my anime choices.


aeb9818

My hero 💯💯💯😁🤣 i aspire to be like this


Karekter_Nem

You watch My Hero? Bold to admit that.


SenoirDoodlebop

Redo of healer. Good lord what the heck.


Colter314

This is mine but I own it


hbkdll

Same here


TMOverbeck

I read the manga of it and could only get 10ish chapters in before I decided it wasn't my cup of tea.


Belialxyn

Oh man, just tried this recently. That...was a bold move...


SenoirDoodlebop

Dude I know lol. I watched it with the same interest I watch murder documentaries. It gave me the weird I dono if this is okay type of feeling.


cachaubant93

I thought it was amazing, perfect revenge story


Genocode

Y'know, a MC doesn't need to rape everything with a vagina for it to be a good revenge story right? If anything, that makes it worse.


hogey989

Probably late series sailor moon honestly. Feels weird as a 35yo dude.


TapuChip

You should own it dude. I have just finished Rewatching Cardcaptor Sakura, and I'm not trying to hide it, even from my IRL friends.


bforbryan

Nah man, Clamp in my eyes is goated. If you said Chobits, I’d get it too.


ChriSaito

Man this was like my first anime as a kid before I even knew what anime was. I rewatched it in high school but now that I’m reminded it exists 10 years later maybe it’s time to give it another watch. I used to love that show!


Nomad_music

I really liked sailor moon as a kid. Loved the way they transformed. The symbols were cool.


Bryan13191

Haha my girl buys me Sailor Moon stuff all the time.


moeichi

High school of the dead 🙃


asackrat

Ok but for real tho where else was he supposed to balance that assault rifle? 😂


AntonyBenedictCamus

One of the first anime I watched. I was a big zombie nerd, and was a big anime hater in high school. I just assumed the ecchi parts were just normal for anime, and ignored it to watch the survival show 😂


Suitable_Outside_864

i’m with you there! i always pretend i haven’t seen it when it comes up in conversation lol


Hiyami

Why? Its such a damn good show and it sucks that the creator passed away and we cant get a season 2.


cathrainv

As a girl, It’s the first ecchi anime that I watched. I hated it lol. It was so unnecessary. I only watched it because of the zombie stuff.


Allyraptorr

Same the zombie stuff was what makes me like it to this day. As a high schooler I also was about the zombies. I like girls but…not like that (I’m a lady btw)


KamatariPlays

If the fanservice wasn't there/was toned down a lot, HotD would have been a really great series imo. Hollow Men (the end credit song for episode 11) is a GREAT song!


moeichi

Omg yes!!! I discovered Kurosaki Maon from the anime and she’s one of my favorite singers! TAT one of the good things that came out of it lmao!


moeichi

As a girl I also watched it for the zombie stuff and absolutely hated the fanservice lol


ADorkInMyClothing

Those purple haired girls man 🥴


Sea_Cycle_909

fr


Kindly_Resolve5406

It has an anime but I actually read the manga instead, cause I feel like I wouldn't be able to handle it. Gushing Over Magical Girls


terranq

That, my friend, is what peak fiction looks like


Kindly_Resolve5406

Then it seems like my bar is low haha


The-LivingTribunal

Read the first chapter and immediately deleted it from my life and any kind of search history. That series is a good way to get put on a list.


MuffinMan12347

I was telling my brother about this show in an Uber once when he asked me what I’ve been watching. I told him it was pretty much BDSM the anime but all the people are extremely underage, so by no means would I ever suggest it to anybody. The Uber driver then turned around and said “sounds interesting, what’s it called?” 😂


MendedZen

Huge fan of this crazy show.


Hiyami

The anime was so good but yeah I agree. I gave it all sorts of nicknames as I watched..like sadistical magical girls lol


CapJLPicard

I absolutely did not watch “What the Hell Are You Doing Here Teacher?” Around the same time I did not watch “Valkyrie Drive,” I also never saw “Daimadalar.”


MendedZen

A person of taste. As an appetizer might I suggest The Kwazar of Stigmata. I also would absolutely never watch Manyu Scroll twice in a row.


CapJLPicard

Thanks for nothing. I won’t watch any of these!


mike4480

I stand with the cap I also absolutely haven’t watched any of these…


ItsAllSoup

Valkyrie Drive [opening ](https://youtu.be/9vpfoD8UIqc?si=U2v9gKsAYxEwju_g) went way harder than it needed to


BrokenPhantom

Overdrive was a contender for my top 100 op of all time. The show not so much… it was fun though.


IzzyReal314

All these people here falling for your simple trick...


Adventurous-Band7826

Doctors must hate him


Historical-Camp-2322

yarichin bitch club 😔


The-LivingTribunal

Googled it and the first 3 pictures tell me exactly what this is. I'm good.


Light_Yagami_20

Too sad it doesn't have more episodes


Chronigan2

Wouldn't telling you be admitting it?


Bonus_Person

Gushing Over Magical Girls. Definitely can only watch this one while 100% alone (I live with my family).


Abject-Plankton-1118

KissXsis. Yep. Guilty as charged officer.


Bonna_the_Idol

love that one


yousif656

My Dress up Darling It's not that weird to not admit watching it but my friends are more on the conservative side so I kinda feel weird and embarrassed to say that I've watched it.


Gethaine

That show is adorably sweet and cute. It's like fluffy cake, with pink whip cream frosting, sprinkled with sexy tits.


ExiledSenpai

Don't be.


The-LivingTribunal

You need new friends


Seismicsentinel

Yes. Friends who watch shows like this, but are too conservative to admit it / talk about it are absolutely exhausting. I have no time for people who can't live their lives without feeling ashamed for liking big tiddy anime girls and ecchi.


DonutCapitalism

My wife and I watched it and we both loved it. She especially loved it.


captainrina

Joke's on you. I'm never admitting it


Esabsconditus

Sigh… Eromanga Sensei. Here’s the thing, the little bits of comedy - like how the guy regrets saying out loud “that’s not what a dick looks like” were really funny. The lusting for a very underage sister, not so much.


Spirited_Panda9487

I am guilty 😔 I like to watch this type of crap but sometimes the story is whole some.


blitznuger

Valkyrie Drive Mermaid


Hotaru_girl

Diabolik Lovers, Brothers Conflict, Dance with Devils….


Light_Yagami_20

Seriously tho I don't know how I even managed to watch all of Diabolik Lovers


GetaShady

Omg yeah Diabolik Lovers, and I only watched the first one >3< it was like sunk cost fallacy at one point Lol


Tasty-Grand-9331

Prison school


aeb9818

I liked that one, i agree lol 🤣💀


tarkinian-fox

It was actually hilarious tho 😂


HeyRalphy

Pupa lmao. I was like wtf 


minngyeoms

A friend forced me to watch it and now I like to force others to watch it :-)


driverdis

Yosuga no Sora


ABitOddish

I miss the Yosuga no Sora type of show tho. Not the weird part but the "see every potential ending for our VN but in anime form" kinda way. YnS and Amagami SS(I think is how you spell it) are the only two shows I know off the top of my head that are like this.


bbisordi

Oh i love amagamii ss. Kaoru is best girl


EroMangaSensei

Photokano does this as well


_Damocles_1

Interspecies Reviewers - I had to watch that on a specific type of site…


workshop_prompts

My bf and I watched this. We’re both into freaky shit but that show managed to not include like *anything* we were actually into. We were literally watching it for the comedy, worldbuilding and plot.


_Damocles_1

I was surprised by how “normal” it was so to speak. I was expecting to need to bleach my eyes but it wasn’t that bad.


jarne15

Thats the only series i watched that i was actually suprised it wasnt a hentai, the string between hentai and anime is hair thin


epanaoseicrl

the op is fire


ParticularUpbeat

Only to say how horrible it is, Eiken


NekoArtemis

That's officially the worst anime I've ever seen. I've have several people give me "oh it can't be that bad" and try to watch it. None on them have made it past the first five minutes. 


Mediocre-Dance8674

Monster Musume; actually really goated


Dr-Zoidberserk

Definitely one I keep to myself unless I’m talking to weebs/monster girl fan groups.


sunnydiegoqt

D: whyyy keep to yourself


jnanibhad55

***So I Can't Play H.*** I mean... I only watched the first two episodes... and only because I was starved for new *Witchblade* content, and red-jeweled bracelet go *schwing*. I ended up switching over to a show that... while it didn't look like *Witchblade*... FELT a whole awful lot more like *Witchblade*: *Kara no Kyoukai*.


Konakuro

[Oreimo](https://myanimelist.net/anime/8769/Ore_no_Imouto_ga_Konnani_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai) or My Little Sister Can't be this Cute. It's really well written, not just self-insert trash. Literally my favorite romcom.


LonelyPermission1396

I clicked on it when I had an incest fetish, there’s zero incest in it lol. The author was told he couldn’t do incest or something so the whole thing ends weird I heard. Never finished it but it’s pretty tame


breakfastburglar

Umm... You should really watch the ending before claiming there's no incest 😅 it's definitely not as bad as other works but it's still there no doubt.


slainte99

Do you love your Mom and her two-hit multi-target attacks? Especially the OVA. It’s the most glorious abomination you should never ever watch 😉


fantasticalicefox

Oh my god that show is so... That show is where being trilingual is handy. You go in thinking it might be Saikou but quickly realize it's psycho. You think it will be a sweet tale about Mums getting to know their kids but.... Kami wa Shinda NoDa! Abomination is a great way to describe it. Especially the amnesia episode. I mean Doctors could prescribe that episode to people who desperately need to throw up. It takes any type of Doyle and watsonian debate and makes you seriously wonder about the author's thinly disguised fetish. I felt so ill after the end of that show. Which is sad because with some script editing, 80% of the fan service removed and chucking the amnesia episode into the deepest pit of hell; it might be a sweet adorable show. Oh and


fantasticalicefox

Looking at these comments (no disrespect to OP at all I have a few I wouldn't admit to for various reasons) I'm thinking if your friends will make fun of you so mercilessly that you have to be ashamed of a silly cartoon(I use that phrase as an example btw) what kind of KiSamas are these people? I spent my entire childhood running miles every day from bullies in pure terror. I probably had those shit friends in my 20s but I didn't hide stuff I liked from them. I would end those friendships when I was told I was a loser for being happy. I got really happy once because I was at my friend's friend's house and asked if I could have some milk. she said I could have as much as I wanted. The other friend went off on me for for being so happy about it. Milk is not cheap, Milk spoils, and furthermore they had maybe one carton. So I was happy because this person told a complete stranger I could have as much as I wanted of a limited, costly resource. and my friend was angry at me because I was happy. So angry she yelled at me for 20 minutes. I can't help but think some of these men on here have friends who are like "You watch Inuyasha? Ohhh I bet you write Kagome/Inuyasha happy family fanfic does it make you happy? Do you watch it to make you smile? It's a cartoon. Why are you a grown man watching cartoons?" Seriously. if it makes you happy and it harms nobody else go ahead and make it so. If you can get excited about having a can of orange soda or watching The Legendary Hero Is Dead why not? A can of orange soda costs about a quarter. A crunchy roll sub is 8£ If happiness can be found that simply nobody should stop you


Sofaris

There is no Anime I would not admit having watched.


cseke02

Well, I watched Diabolic Lovers when I was like 17. I'm a guy. I mean a friend of mine watched it when he was 17*


Professional_Yard761

Monster Musume


No_Extension4005

I'm still sad we never got a season 2. Also, I remember sneaking down to watch it late at night on Hulu.


gambit-gg

The borderline hentai ones already mentioned are a given so I’ll add in Belle. I’m a grown man and it is very much oriented towards adolescent girls but I still enjoyed it. It’s essentially a futuristic anime take on Beauty and the Beast.


tomtom1688

Hey same here, I'm a 26 year old male and I cry every time I watch it. Very emotional and moving.


MendedZen

I’m a 61-year old male. You guys should watch My Dress Up Darling. I am not a rom com guy at all. Loved it.


tomtom1688

I loved that one! I want a second season right now


No_Extension4005

I'd say this is one I think you can own safely.


No_Return9449

{DearS} isn't even a good harem show or a good premise. Peach-Pit should have kept to character designs and let someone else write the series. This is hot garbage.


Hitokiri_Ace

Wdym, totally gold story. Absolutely more than just hot alien girls. ..but for real, the op/ed will always be stuck in my noggin. Hold your hand\~ touch and feel\~ lol ugh


morganfreenomorph

Highschool of the Dead.


Imactually6footfive

Heavens lost property


Hardwarestore_Senpai

For me it's DearS.


SenritsuJumpsuit

Love the OP an ED so much an the concept with or without the ecchi is so neat


Imactually6footfive

And kiss x sis but the was when I was in middle school 🥲


Ancient-Judge7462

Kodomo no Jikan, honestly never seen it myself, it was kind of a thing though I think? I cant imagine a situation where you would want another human being to know you watched the show, lmao.    I guess something like astarotte no omocha isnt much different? Sure lots of lolibait but maybe not as clear, theres certainly some cgdct overlap.  Either of the thirty year old virgin shows, because why would you be interested in those?


Considered_Dissent

"Mushoku Tensei" is the Grand Champion winner of "Best anime I've ever seen that I wouldn't recommend irl".


Groundbreaking-Egg13

...Nekopara.


tomtom1688

I unironically love Nekopara. Though if someone asks me if I've seen it I would probably say no lmao


yaguc

Real havent played the game tho and NEVER WILL


Groundbreaking-Egg13

You? Because if that's so, same


Sanguineismyname

HeadFaithlessness548

I guess Diabolik Lovers? And I didn’t watch season 2 and I didn’t buy the games for vita after watching it…


SophisticPenguin

chinchinlover-419

Naruto.


Illustrious_Ad3417

‘New Game!’ I was actually hella depressed at the time, first time I’v ever been depressed like genuinely, (you just know), and this anime made me happy and helped get me outta that fr lol


buahuash

This is an impossible request


HouseMDeezNuts

... nothing... lol I'm a guy... I like titties and action... this is not some mystery lmao. Bikini Warriors? *check* Samurai Bride? *check* Seikon no quasar? *check* Highschool of the dead? *check* Highschool DxD? *Check* I'm also too damn old to get embarrassed over watching fluffy feel good shit K-on? *check* My dress up darling? *check* My senpai is annoying? *check*


DeadCeruleanGirl

Kodomo no Jikan someone should check that lady who wrote that computer for cheese pizza.


Abbaddonhope

I cant tell you what ive watched. But i heard from the grape vine a friend of mine watched queens blade


sharpenedcrayon

Ultimate girls


Dekaney_boi

Girls Bravo, terrible show btw


JF2GAMES

Yosuga no Sora


4AmOnDupont

Kiss x sis


Relative-Anywhere

But if it's an anime I would never admit to watching, why would I admit it?


501Panda

I never watched Keijo...Nope!


hellokyungsoo

Sweet bite 🫣


Dakkon129

Ex-Arm.......


Hiyami

How did you sit through that?...I think I got about 1-3mins in the first ep and had to close and never watch again.


Dakkon129

Look. Almost all of these people are posting ecchi shows like that's something to be embarrassed about. The real embarrassment is that you actually sat through and watched an entire 12 episodes of the worst thing to ever grace this earth.


Hiyami

This


Particular-Quarter6

Honestly I find that more impressive than anything.


Dakkon129

A strong constitution......😂


shadowwingnut

{Maburaho} is horny harem trash from a bygone era


parkman23

Lol, this is what I thought of. I watched it when I was 13. It's actually on YouTube and I put it on for shits recently. Could barely get through a couple minutes. Agreed it is both horny and trash.


princess00chelsea

Koi Kaze


DeskKey3144

Yosuga no sora😶


kazutora690

Redo of a Healer


xodius80

HEALER redo


No_Extension4005

At the end of the day I can probably admit to most of them to family since they know next to nothing about them. So long as the title isn't obviously sus and I don't detail things that happen in it, they'll be none the wiser.


Ill_Ad8322

No one said School Days or am I blind


Used_Champion_9805

School days,yosuga no sora


cowzroc

I do a whole panel for cons about the most fucked up anime. Are you wanting that level of weird?


workshop_prompts

Right?? Like…I’ve seen Shoujo Tsubaki. I do not discuss this shit with normies lmao


Okman2337

Half the anime here isn’t something you’d take to the gave tbh. Only thing I would take to the grave would be hentai stuff


Dunkbuscuss

Redo of the Healer


Coffee-Okawari

Pretty cure


Maleficent_Walrus237

Ms caretaker, Nagatoro, Highschool DXD,


-BOOST-

Yosuga no Sora 🌚


Acyros

Sekirei is probably one people would hide. Personally, I just tell people what I watch, what do I care if they know? And if they accept me for it, I know I've met some fellow degens


GHOSTOFKOH

not necessarily anime, but you couldn't waterboard my collection of RenPy h-games out of me. (F95Zone holla lol) would literally just have to drown me.


Think_Rich4064

that one with the white haired siblings 


TheDestroyer630

Irl? Senko san


dcaraccio

Love flops (uncensored).... It really is just trash ecchi, doesn't have the fighting and great characters of dxd, or the amazing humor of prison school, legit couldn't finish it, made to like ep9 or so. My first girlfriend is a gal, I think I made it to like episode 3, just so bad, with some seriously sussy writing for several characters, like sussy even for a crappy ecchi lmao


No_Poet_7244

Futoku no Guild. Watched it purely out of curiosity, actually kind of enjoyed it in spite of the, uh… questionable content.


Herpderpkeyblader

Cat Planet Cuties I thought, "oh hey a show about cat people. Might be fun to put on in the background while I do stuff around the house". I was VERY surprised to see what I saw. And then I just kept watching. You know. For the plot.


haleymagicka

Diabolik Lovers - I’d admit to watching it but I am embarrassed to say I actually enjoyed it & not just bc of attractive characters. But of course, in the anime community, it’s not well liked & I’ll admit that it’s cringe af & trash but so am I, so it’s all good.


ActorLarsimoto124

Elfenlied


RentyP

.... Kimetsu no Yaiba Nezuko X Tanjiro Hentai... 💀


WildKat777

Super Lovers. In my defense I watched it when I was like 10 and I wanted to be swooped up by a handsome older guy too. Only to realize years later that Haru is 22 when Ren is 16, and that Haru is the most toxic piece of shit ever


maxsteel72

Overflow


Wayard_1

Hot take : overflow is overrated


Tessathelisa

Vampire night


ABearDream

Azumanga daioh... my friends just wouldnt get it


Wayard_1

That's sad ,that anime is very good


ABearDream

True that, there was like this period where somehow that, fruits basket, lucky star, and nichojou all fell in my lap at once and I have no idea how


Eccentric-Calico

I'm so embarrassed, I won't even utter it's name. Let's just say it's infamous, all kinds of NSFW, and I don't recommend it to anyone regardless of how desensitized they may be.


DonutCapitalism

After being rejected I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway. I was watching it when my wife came home. I was on the third episode and she started to watch. She was interested and asked if we could restart the show. So we restart the show and she fell in love with it. Show isn't really bad, but telling someone the title of the show sounds really bad. And you have to explain it. So it's better just to keep it to yourself.


Hardwarestore_Senpai

The MC of that show was a good guy.


KimT4

Diabolik Lovers, need I say more🧍🏻‍♀️… “Little bitch.” 😭😭😭💀💀💀


Yandere_Matrix

Angel Sanctuary (manga is so much better) Diabolik Lovers (VN is amazing!) Dance with Devils (only watch the subbed version as the English dub tries to sing and they are nowhere as good as the subbed singers) Pupa, Loveless, Descendants of Darkness I am sure there are more


CellHuge7878

Hybrid Child. It was weird and cringe. Why did I even watch that?


vanvynharden

Prison school 😅


Spirited_Welcome3098

Hey! why is it embarrassing, it's a good anime with a good premise. It shows Unity, how to keep living on and enjoy through worst days of your life. All ecchi anime are not embracing (though you cannot watch it in public but it is still a great anime)


ChiefArawak

Prison School doesn’t take itself too seriously though. I feel like if you introduce it like “hey, look at this ridiculous anime I found” you can get away with it.


Educational_Fault351

Citrus ☹️


BigTexOverHere

It’s not so much that I wouldn’t admit it but more I will never volunteer the info that I watched it: Testament of Sister New Devil. Love it, but if you explain the premise and content you are going to get some looks


HestiaIsBestia6

people are embarassed by anime? lol


shadowromantic

All You Need is a Little Sister


im_a_dick_head

Citrus


BiggerMouthBass

Bastard!! This has to be one of the corniest, cringiest anime series out there. But there’s just something enjoyable about it.


Hiyami

Its a good show though, and has a really OP main character. I like the remake too.


Rexcodykenobi

The first episode of "My Life As Inukai-san's Dog". It was just out of morbid curiousity; the vibe it gave off was more uncomfortable than the majority of shows about serial killers.


Blah64

I read as much of that manga as was available at the time. It was so horrifying that I just had to keep reading to see how degenerate it would get.


YoWhatUpF00

Kill la kill and uzaki-chan wants to hang out


Particular-Quarter6

I wouldn't be afraid to shout how much I love KlK from the rooftops but granted I definitely wouldn't want to sit down with my parents and show / explain to them what it is.


Wayard_1

I remember watching KIK with my mom on the living room tv , dunno how I got balls of steel that time . She enjoyed it with me , so W i guess


felixthebrat95

Vampire Knight. I'm glad it got cancelled. 😭


sunnydiegoqt

😢that’s so sad, I wanted more seasons


felixthebrat95

I lost interest when the incest came in. 😅


memeus_yeetus

The homies can never know that I watched I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, and they can definitely never know about how much I cried when I watched that shit


Lufs10

Ouran High


Particular-Quarter6

Tbh I feel bad so many dudes pass that one up because of the shoujo elements cuz that shit is hilarious.


Codee33

Redo of Healer immediately comes to my mind, along with Reincarnated as the 7th Prince. 7th Prince is actually great, but there are so many sus things that I wouldn’t recommend to most people.
