Puella Magi Madoka Magica blew my mind when I saw it just a few months ago. I put it on for background noise to fall asleep to, I ended up with no sleep that night and a completely new favorite show. If you are into dark themes, and can handle triggered-response subjects, id recommend Redo of a healer, it's the darkest I've seen yet.

Also, no isekai or fantasy animes? Really? I'd say Jobless: Reincarnation should have made this list, though it is still ongoing.

It's sad when people enjoy shows but use piracy webmbsites to watch them. If the show doesn't make money, they cannot create more content. All you're doing when using piracy sites to watch your favorite shows is ensure that no more seasons will get made. What happens when studios can no longer afford to make any shows. We will have nothing new to watch. I encourage people to soend the whoppi g $15 a month on crunchyroll in lieu of eating one extra mcdinalds meal a month to help ensure the writers and artists and studios make their money so we can continue to get new content from these studios. I also encourage fans of shows to buy non-bootlegged merchandise if you really enjoy a show cuz the more money the writers and animators get, the more they make. Kinda like musicians, they make their money from concerts and merch.

Encouraging g children to reas is never a bad thing, so long as age appropriate, but ulti.ateky kids grow up to become adults and it's ever-inc4eaingly obvious when kids have been overly sheltered their entire childhoods they end up as dysfunctional adults because kids need exposure to the realities of life, just in ways that they can learn and process from them instead if being scarred from them. If Manga in the school libraries gets kids reading, then that in turn helps them becoming critical thinkers, the thing America is lacking the most right now. People can't think 5 steos ahead when making decisions anymore snd then shift the blame of their poorly thought out de visions on to the other side of their belief system. I'm at a loss, when an unforseen consequence happens to me because I wasn't thinking 46 steps ahead and stopped at 45 steps in my decision making process. Si when people stop at 2 or 3 steps in and are bewildered at what happen to them, it makes me sad since this is obviously an education issue that is almost impossible to correct at this far gone a level in our society. Thry should have Manga in high school libraries, why not. If it gets them reading and iff social media, I'm all for my tax dollars being spent that way. As the other commenter said, a majority of our public education is funded by lottery proceeds. Those 220,000,000 payouts would be 440,000,000 but 1/2 goes to education. They are relying on the publics desire to gamble at impossible odds just to find our education. What happens when gambling becomes illegal and all the elites can afford private school and have been able to withdraw their tax dollars from public schools. We end up with a mass serf population, uneducated and once 1st amendment rights have been revoked, they will no longer be able to inform others, practice any religion other than what the state wants, will get state funded news and won't be able yo protest publicly and will make a great nation of s1aves for the elites

Oh and the anarchist cookbook was written by a kid who was 19 at the time and since then up til his d3ath in 2016, has himself tried to get his own book banned, unsuccessfully I might add since he no longer own the publishing rights. There are close to 2 million first edition print out there in the world so it may not be the easiest book to find and might be pricey, but it is available. The big problem is an arachost group unhappy with how their ideology was viewed after the book got published, wwmt on ti publish their own version of the book in a striking similarity with an intent of changing the recipes and formulas that would create non working abd non dangerous outcomes in the event someone went on to use the formulas contained within the public with an intent to commit violence. Ironically, a good chunk of the formulas in the original book were wrong also. Im.not sure how you had a hard time finding the book, in the mid 90s as teenagers we found it pretty easily. Living in a larger city definitely helped because niche items are harder to sell with smaller population. If you really want a copy of the first edition, messagee on here and I'm sure my friend would be willing to sell it, but plan on spending several hundred dollars
