No friends either. I barely remember what it was like and I'm not sure I want that IRL these days. On the Internet though, why not. I've always wanted to explore anime but never really got around to it. I've watched, like, two and a half shows and that was that, so I wouldn't mind to have an online friend to explore anime with. I'm into ~serious stuff~ y'know. Murder, rape, war, suffering, enemies everywhere... Just like in real life:)
>>197 Anon, I don't and never had IRL friends (always the weird kid), but watching anime about grim topics like that all the time can't be good for your mental health.
That aside, I can list you some recommendations:
>Boku dake ga Inai Machi
>Dance in the Vampire Bund
>Darker than Black
>Haibane Renmei
>Jin-Rou
>Soul Eater (Not particularly a grim anime, but it has some dark themes. Art style is in tune with Halloween. This was my first anime and I remember enjoying it a lot.)
>Zankyou no Terror
Something like a jabber conf but I'd evaluate modern stuff like Signal/Matrix/Ricochet/Tox/whatever first.

You're probably right but I don't intend to watch it that often, I still have some physics and category theory lectures to go though. The thing with lighter stuff is that I have too many moments when I just roll my eyes. Like Atack on Titan. I liked the general setting which reminds me of how weirdos like us are surrounded by normies and I liked some of the gore, but c'mon, it's just rebranded high school stuff which is a shame.

Thank you, I'll check them out when I wake up.
