It starts in a literal version of Plato’s cave, which escalates into fighting with giant robots powered by manliness.  Lots of senseless fighting happens, and at the end the protagonist goes MGTOW.

The protagonist, at the beginning and climax of the series.

Self-confidence.

Here’s a few quotes:

Advocating for masculine toughness.

It is rather over the top, but fun to watch due to the sheer absurdity of it all.  Especially when the robots are so large they throw galaxies at each other.

I am a pretty big fan of Anime, and there is definitely alot of s~~~ shows coming out currently. However, I find JoJo to be a good MGTOW type show, the men are manly and independent and know how to avoid the stupid things in life. The few characters who do get married and so on (its a show that spans multiple generations of protagonist) always end up in a rut because of it though.

JoJo is another one of those over the top shows like TTGL, it makes fun of alot of stereotypes of the shounen genre as-well (long winded attack explanations and so on).

Great watch for anyone looking for a show about manly men doing manly things.

One of the manliest animes I’ve ever seen , and I watched quite alot. Since the OP did not post the name I’ll do it. It’s Tengen toppa Gurren Lagann.

Dangit, knew I forgot something.

A great manly anime is def “jojo’s bizarre adventure”

I ended up dropping it for some reason.  An IRL friend recommends it, so I’ll give it another go.  I enjoy the cg for season 1’s opening.

Anyone watch “Tokyo Ghoul”?  The protagonist ends up becoming a great example of PTSD after season 1.  If you ignore the crazy superpowers, its like a gangwar show.  Could say the protagonist (kaneki ken) swallows the red pill.

Though a manly anime in my oppinion is Dragon Ball Z. I recently watched Dragon Ball kai and man it is good. It just got rid of all the useless filler and all on battles which are awesome.

I tried to watch jojo’s adventure but it was just too dark for me from the start. I mean I don’t mind a good villain but he had no like real reason other than just wanting to be evil . And that scene where he burns the dog alive and the dog jumps out in flames out of the furnace really put me off. Though a manly anime in my oppinion is Dragon Ball Z.

Methinks JoJo is parodying masculinity by amplifying it to ridiculous extremes, including the villain’s motive.  By portraying masculinity as ridiculous, it will discourage young men from aspiring to be masculine.
I’ve never watched more that a few episodes of Dragon Ball Z.  Seems like I have less and less free time as I get older.  I mean, I watched a solid month’s worth of anime in 2 years.  For the past 3 years, I’ve probably watched maybe a dozen 24-episode series…

The sideburns and eyebrows are unmatched! LOL!
