Best MGTOW anime recommendations

[AwakenedMGHOWParticipant 100]

I wanted to put together a list of great MGTOW anime. Others can contribute as well.

My current list is:

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Two brothers search for a Philosopher’s Stone after an attempt to revive their deceased mother goes awry and leaves them in damaged physical forms. (Even though this plot is some what gynocentric the main two characters are about MGTOW men trying to regain what they lost)

Cowboy Bebop
Cowboy Bebop takes place in the year 2071. The crew of the spaceship Bebop is a partnership of bounty hunters, called “cowboys,” who travel the Solar System trying to apprehend various criminals and lawbreakers.

Hellsing Ultimate
Hellsing, a secret organization of the British government, has long been battling supernatural threats to keep the people safe from creatures of the night. The current leader, Integra Wingates Hellsing controls her own personal army to eliminate the undead beings, but even her highly trained soldiers pale in comparison to her most trusted vampire exterminator, a man by the name of Alucard, who is actually a powerful vampire himself.

(This anime involves a female boss, but we all know Alucard runs things around the organization. Without him, Hellsing wouldn’t have survived for the long if at all)

Overlord

The story begins with Yggdrasil, a popular online game which is quietly shut down one day. However, when the protagonist Momonga decides to log out as the server shuts down, he found himself trapped in the world of Yggdrasil as his in game character, a powerful skeletal wizard. The world continues to change, with non-player characters (NPCs) beginning to feel emotion and becoming life-like. Momonga becomes cold and calculating, while having his emotions suppressed, as if he was not an actual human. Having no parents, friends, or place in society, this ordinary young man Momonga then strives to take over the new world the game has become.

(This anime is a little bit gynocentric, but the main character forms a relationship with an obedient NPC that will do anything he says. Which is pretty awesome)

Hunter X Hunter
Drawn to the mystique of the unknown, Hunters travel the world in search of terrifying creatures, incredible riches, and unexplored lands.

Other mentions: (I’m too lazy to put the plot down for these, so I’m just going to list them here)

Afro Samurai

Monster

One Punch Man

Hajime No Ippo

Attack On Titan

Gintama

Black Lagoon

Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure

Magi The Labyrinth Of Magic

Baccano!

Berserk

Trigun

Assination Classrooom (The teacher is a badass MGTOW)

Soul Eater

Gurren Lagann

One Piece (Debatable, but, many of the main characters are MGTOW)

Naruto (Same as One Piece)

I’m not well versed in anime, but I really liked Berserk because I found the story mature and dark in nature. IMO Gutts started out MGTOW, when he was freelance mercenary, but after he joined up with the band of the hawk and started having feelings for Caska he turned into an uber mangina.

Yeah. That’s the only thing I hate about certain anime. They start off the main character as a MGTOW and then end up making them a mangina. I still watch anime on and off, but I lost interest in it for the most part.

Awakening, you listed pretty much all of the MGTOW style anime series worth watching. Except Outlaw Star, and a few others. Such as the Street Fight II V series. A buddy series more than anything else. A lot of martial arts action. If you liked the original Street Fighter games, you will likely enjoy this series. Also, the original Street Fighter animated movie is a good anime movie of the same franchise, though different timeline from SFIIV.

great list!!

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

Great list of animes. I will say Luffy from One Peace is a good example of following your own path. He becomes stronger and stronger by pursuing his dreams.
I think Naruto has many of the same qualities than Luffy but he is move around too much for the characters around him.

[The Moth Attracted to the FlameParticipant 2982]

Samurai Champloo. I think Jin and Mugen are MGTOW in a way.

[Tiga KParticipant 1693]

Rainbow

This is one of my favorite anime series. It is about the strong bond between seven young men. I highly recomend it. Warning: you will shed many manly tears.
