Some shows to check out I think are very good and very anime: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Azumanga, Chihayafuru, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

None of those things seem in any way controversial. Watch genres you already like doesn't make much sense for people who have only seen one show ever. Three episode test is more aimed at people who are following new seasonal anime where the quality is unknown. In general for existing shows that are good you can probably know if a show is for you or not after one episode, unless someone tells you there's a definite shift after three episodes. (And those I typically won't recommend to a newcoming) 'Watch popular stuff' is dubious, given there isn't a lot of good places for finding out what is 'popular'. A lot of the popular stuff on things like MAL are gigantic time investments or ongoing shonen series. For instance, FMA, Gintama, Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, Clannad AS, I'm not sure I'd recommend any of those, even when I like them. I'd kinda suggest for newcomers to anime to watch 1 shortish, good series across each of a spread of genres. Watch a Ghibli movie, watch Dennou Coil, watch Ping Pong, watch Hyouka, watch TTGL... Something like that.

Hello dude. I got into anime about 3 years ago because of a little game called Persona 4 and knew absolutely nothing about it other than Dragonball and Pokémon which I watched as a kid. I think this is a good idea for a thread and am interested to see where your anime journey takes you. One of the things for me that makes anime series more enjoyable for me than, say, western media is that it generally ends after 13 or 26 episodes and has a contained and full story. If a western show gets popular you know that poo poo is gonna be dragged out for as long as possible. This isn’t the case with anime generally outside of the mega popular shonen series which does go on forever. So I’ll just say watch whatever sounds most interesting to you whether it be a new or old show. If you are looking for recommendations later I’d be more that happy to give some though my tastes more skew towards talky dramas that focus on character development. Cheers.

since the OP may not know and take my not entirely serious post earlier deadly seriously, and some posters got mad about it, I should elucidate that Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a high quality show, and Ghost in the Shell is also a high quality show, and School Days is not a high quality show and should be avoided! Please do not watch School Days. Some googling would likely have shown you why quite quickly, but this is just in case. Thanks and gobbles. edit: watch the stephen universe anime that endorph's avatar is from next, OP. Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Feb 27, 2018 |

I dunno, when I first started getting into anime, I just tried a little bit of everything and watched more of what I liked. I remember browsing the video section of the local library or video rental store. I recall watching Azumanga Daioh just because the library had the DVDs and it looked kind of cute. Some shows I just got into from seeing AMVs and being like "Hey, the animation looks pretty neat, let's try this!". Try a scattershot approach and sample a little bit of whatever seems to strike your fancy - even if it's like a Google search for "top most popular anime". If something starts to seem skeevy, stop watching! Enjoy yourself!~

My introduction to anime was seeing Akira late one night on the SciFi channel. I started renting stuff from the local video store after that, but it was mostly trashy poo poo like M.D Geist, Genocyber, etc and occasionally stuff like Crying Freeman, Perfect Blue, etc I was in middle School for most of this btw. My parents thought they were just cartoons

Though the point of this thread is for me to sorta selfishly share my own thoughts and reviews, I’m happy to see that it has generated spirited discussion. So long as the general context remains anime, I don’t really mind where the tenor of the thread’s discourse goes. I’ll keep posting reviews 😊 In that context, I will only point out the sweet, sweet irony that anime was recommended to me as a diversion from the world’s antagonism and, yet, my first discussion of it has generated antagonistic debate. As an outsider, I will say that the vigor in which some points are being expressed here and the fans' passion that it reflects, makes me think that the anime at the source of it must be pretty good to warrant that sort of emotion. Okay, since recommendations are coming in, I might as well tell you about my preferences. Though, to say that I have preferences is really a stretch. Seriously, I’m bookish to the degree that I’m uncomfortable even mentioning it because I sense it comes across as obnoxious. I seriously have not watched a single television series with any consistency in a decade and couldn’t tell you the last move I went to see. I listen to CNBC on TuneIn; it’s literally that bad. Haha. So, I can’t stress how out of character this step into anime is for me. In that sense, I’m probably open to anything, but to provide the most modest of guidelines, I’ll say I probably only have one basic rule: I definitely want something that requires emotional investment. I’m one of those “go big or go home” type of people, and I don’t really do anything just “in passing” (I can’t even post on a message board concisely; clearly!), so I think I want a show that leaves me emotionally fatigued at the end of each episode. So far, Bebop has been pretty successful at doing that. Though, the more intensity in that regard, the better. (Also, as a glimpse of my next review, this sentiment is why the Ballad of the Fallen Angel was so compelling to me while episodes six and seven, which seemed more emotionally moderate in nature, were less so). What I’m trying to say is: You can’t make me cry! And I hope your recommendations take that as a challenge. Thanks for the guidance and discussion.

drat dude you're pretty cool also if you want more emotional stuff, sound! euphonium is probably the biggest of the ones i recced, though cinderella girls has a lot of emotional payoff too, and haikyuu has a fair bit too. (it's a sports anime)

If you want something with lot of emotion and also you like sports and want something you'll only find in anime, check out Chihayafuru.

bogoodski posted:What I’m trying to say is: You can’t make me cry! And I hope your recommendations take that as a challenge. Erased is a good and easily-accessible choice that's part time-travel thriller and part family drama and starts with a strong hook. 12 episodes. Also, I mentioned it in passing earlier, but Madoka Magica is a really tightly-written fantasy horror story with a ton of heart to it, striking surreal visuals, and a fantastic soundtrack. Its bubbly surface appearance is intentionally very misleading (and I don't think it's a spoiler to reveal that). I'm pretty sure it will manage to make you cry. Also 12 episodes.

If you like sad stuff keep on your old fart favorite tear with Neon Genesis Evangelion. (definitely pick it over Madoka, also) If you're gonna watch anything Ghost in the Shell you should start with the 1995 movie. Someone recommended watching Yokohama Shopping Trip (YKK) and highly agreed but it really deserves to be read instead. Kaiba's good for the sad stuff. So is Devilman Crybaby, though it's probably my least favorite Yuasa overall. It's all on Netflix though which is convenient.

They got compared a lot back when I was watching them and I think NGE's the better show. I have zero affection for either one at this point though so. Every animation fan should see EoE at some point though.
