Is it too late for me to get back into anime? I used to gobble

Who gives a shit it's just entertainment


"le quirky nerdy anime/capeshit" people are just insecure normies. If all you wanna do is fuck a cosplaying qt you don't need to watch shit. Just go to a convention and don't be ugly.

Also, it's not too late. There are 60 year olds who browse /a/.

Who gives a fuck. Most people who say they like anime don't know actually know shit all about anime--Cosplayers in particular.

They tend to know like 5 or 6 shows they think are cool and that's it.


On a side note, I probably started watching anime 15 or more years ago, and I've watched hundreds of animes, it's still the same shit and hasn't really grown much.

It's all just rehashed amalgams of the same subject recycles ad naseum. It's just that every like 3 or so years what's popular to become a clone of changes.

But I could probably say the exact same thing about video games.

At the moment I think the current popular trend tends to revolve plotwise around do-overs (characters that get to do something over, or restart in some way) and trying to blend 3D CGI in to anime is what gets animators visual rocks off.

I'm 30 and just started getting back into it; I stopped watching it when I was about 17 so it's been many a moon.

Then again, it's mostly due to having tons of free time since I didn't go to school this semester.

Anyways, I watched Initial D, Hajime no Ippo, Knights of Sidonia, Gundam Wing, Death Parade (SO GOOD), Another, Death Note, Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night, Monster, Legend of the Galactic Heroes and a few others.

I know a few of those series were for plebs but they were what I grew up with in high school so I used them to get back in the saddle.

There's some good shit out there.

Good luck, comrade.

Oh and check out some good Visual Novels.

There's some fan translated ones that are fucking amazing.

If someone is hostile to you showing an interest in their hobby then that's not a person you'll ever want to deal with anyway. Take everything on this site with a grain of salt. That said, you'll probably get roasted a bit for not knowing or watching 'bad' series. I don't think much of it since we all have our guilty pleasures and 'popcorn' flicks that we know are dumb but love them anyway.

I've been in and out of anime since the 90s. Don't like the cute trend shit. You might check on recommended lists and just get a feel for what you like. You'll have to sift through shit but you'll find gems.

I'll just toss out the last few things I've watched. Maybe you'll like them

>Mushishi
>Redline (movie)
>Memories (multiple short animations, specifically the 'Magnetic Rose' part. Awesome and chilling.)
>Mindgame (very odd film)
>Little Witch Academia (a bit cutesy but both short films are so goofy and charming I couldn't hate them)

There's also Jojo, Initial D, other popular series etc. If someone legitimately gives you shit for your choices just ask them for recommendations.

Most of the people who are "in" watch whatever is on toonami and the most popular things on Crunchyroll. Just look up seasonal charts, and pick what you like to watch, watch some classics, and browse /a/. Don't ask for recs either, just lurk until you understand things.

Honestly no point, every fucking anime is about highschool
