Yeah,,,same on Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler. It's really the only manga I keep up with, I tend to only watch/read complete series otherwise. It's got some fanservice and I tend to avoid the fandom in general, but I appreciate the character relationships as they are in canon, with all their chess games and scheming. Granted, I'm rooting for a "bad ending" because I want Sebastian to win, but he's the closest demon version to myself in media I've seen so there's that.
I think, many fans would call Sebastian winning a good ending, but that might be because the majority has no concept of soul/ self being like: "Yes, Ciel owes him because he employed him as butler." Which is actually a quote from the manga/ anime. Fun fact: Obviously, there's something about my aura. I was told, I was Sebastian. Well, I'm not. But the remark has helped me a lot with questioning. 😎 Tell people, you don't like that demon butler, and... (Team Undertaker/ Shinigami)
I won't say them because they are def 13+, but for some reason a monster girl themed manga/anime is a big comfort of mine? I have 0 idea why it's definitely not "good" and there's some... questionable content ahah. " Y'all got me interested in some of yours tho.
definitely hetalia. i've watched it since i was a kid (and had not much involvement in the fandom or even knew what it was doing then, thank you). its funny and nostalgic to me, what else is there to say i second black butler also. its definitely aged, but i genuinely like the story and the characters
any anime thats super over-the-top and dramatic is a guilty pleasure of mine too, like jojo's. anything shounen is typically not the greatest but i love them nonetheless
Shep has a love/ hate relationship with “Seven Deadly Sins” and “Bleach”.
[Shep] Aw man the big secret is out. I did indeed subject myself to over 200 episodes of Bleach
*perks up* What's "wrong" with Bleach? I've started reading the manga about two weeks ago and considering watching the anime too. Like the story so far.
I have a tendency to find anime that I have to describe as "tw: everything" Name something disturbing that could happen in a show and there's a high chance it happens. So far the shows I've described this way are Kaiba, Brigadoon: Marin & Melan, and Wonder Egg Priority. Do I recommend them to anyone? No. Do I love them dearly? Yes.

It starts off great which is how it earned it's spot on Jump! as part of the big three, but Tite Kubo was eventually squeezed for ideas to make money so what you end up seeing overall is repetitive arc/ plot structure and specific to the manga- a decay in quality of art. When you compare the backgrounds of the first few volumes to the last few, you can see that backgrounds and overall details became slowly obsolete. It also suffers imo from useless female syndrome side protagonist who always needs saving, so after 200 episodes, hearing Orihime yelling for Ichigo to save her gets annoying. Overall the reason why it's my guilty pleasure though is because the OST is great, world building ideas are amazing and give you plenty to work with for si/ oc's, and removed from plot there are some genuinely fun characters. - Shep
Uhhh, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid definitely springs to mind lmao. I haven't seen it since it aired but I remember really liking it despite all the questionable content. Still think it was a goofy and fun time overall and kind of hit pretty hard in the 'dragon in a human world' feelings.

Mayoiga (The Lost Village), probably. It's pretty terrible; cheap horror that basically loops around to seeming intentionally bad for the purpose of comedy and to make fun of the horror genre, a story that solves absolutely nothing throughout the entire plot, mostly-flat, overemotional, dramatic characters running around, a cast too huge to actually develop in the time given... I recommend it to absolutely no one. However, for some reason, I go through random periods of fixating on it, thinking about it a lot, rambling about it, and there's a character I got pretty attached to when watching it who my brain just can't abandon, it seems. It actually has an interesting premise—a group of people who have their own personal reasons for wanting to escape society end up in an abandoned village where their traumas take a physical form and attack them—but the execution... no, that's not how you do it.

Our guilty pleasure anime is watching whatever horrendously questionable(said with affection) 'fanservice disguised as plot' show we land on with our platonic partner system. The weirder and dumber the plot, and the jankier the animation and dub, the better.
Notable highlights include that monster girl doctor show, 'Keijo!!!!!!!!', and High School DxD.
Wolf's Rain. Not so much for the show itself but for the way some of the fandom is (talking specifically the wolfaboo side). Second-hand embarrassment galore.
high rise invasion comes to mind, it's a recent netflix production and it's?? weird???? a lot of it m8de me go 😬 8ut the good parts are REALLY good!!!!!!!! they try really hard to do fanservice and fail misera8ly, 8ut the story and characters are really fun and i honestly couldnt stop watching. i showed it to my girlfriend and we 8oth agreed that this show shouldnt work as well as it does lol
i gotta say tokyo ghoul, the anime. i'm literally just here for cool kagune/nonhuman designs/kin reasons that's it. i've heard that the manga is wayy better and that i shouldn't watch beyond season 1 (i haven't, i've finished s1).
