Anime newbie here. What series do you guys recommend for someone's first?
>>737274277
what're you looking for?
>>737274277
Welcome to the NHK
>>737274277
find something that appeals to you. Don't base it off of what others recommend. That's the best way to start hating anime
Boku no pico
>>737274445
Agreed
>>737274440
this, anime doesn't get any better
>>737274467
This it will change your life
For all the beginers Death Note is always the best one to start with.
>>737274277
Cowboy Bebop
JoJos bizzare adventure
>>737274277
Clannad and Clannad Afterstory
you will fucking cry
Fullmetal Alchemist
>>737274573
Fuck off
Serial experiments lain
Hell girl
Vampire princess Miyu
Literally any gundam series
Persona 4 the animation(play the game too)
>>737274277
Boku no pico
>>737274277
Tokyo Ghoul
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann!!!
Just who the hell do you think I am!!!
>>737274373
Honestly I love horror and creepy stuff, but I also like elements of romance as well
>>737274277
JoJo
>>737274445
This guy, also,
THIS!!!
>>737274277
Boko no pico
>>737274833
Try Shingeki no kyojin
See if you watch any popular recommended anime this fags give you, for the next 1 year you gonna stick to overrated shit perhaps even 3 years till you start getting bored of the same shit and start looking for good underrated anime.
Oh and do not try Paranoia Agent if someone recommends, waste of time.
>>737274277
deathnote is honestly trash.
all anime is too much direct characterization.
american tv like breaking bad much better
Why not reading Manga instead?
how about Deadman Wonderland?
>>737274731
>Serial experiments lain
>>737274712
>>737274277
FMA: Brotherhood
>>737275272
This. Don't watch that FMA garbage, FMA Brotherhood is the way to go.
Naruto or Bleach
>>737275422
I fucking agreed with this
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
>>737275480
how about this
>>737275480
agreed. haven't finished Bleach yet tho. Lost interest around the Aizen arc.
Hunter x hunter.
>>737275480
None you waste your time in edgy shit (not so much bleach give it a shot if you want). Naruto is filter with bullshit, you waste your time if you even think about watching that garbage
>>737275161
>>one love
>>737274277
>>737274833
Try Erased, is more mystery thriller than horror I guess, but it can be a bit creepy.
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
One Punch Man
Death Note
Another
Leuluch Vi Britannia commands you to watch Code Geass
>>737274833
if you really like horror and creepy then check out Higurashi, that shit is fucking creepy and really good.
>>737276177
This with a couple fixes.
Remove Death Note and Another; you not missing much if you skip. Change it for Seven Deadly Sins and Evangelion and Psycho Pass (weird mixture but opens different tastes).
Also The devil is a part timer was pretty good to be honest, give it a shot.
Watamote.
You'll probably relate to Tomoko.
Good entry level anime
>My hero academia (fight me fgts)
>Bungo Stray Dogs
>Drifters
I feel like a newbie could enjoy these shows pretty easily. All fairly basic action type shows (though bungo stray dogs, especially the second season, definitely has more drama than the other 2).
>>737274467
Very good anime highly recommend great story and lots of action
HUNTERXHUNTER FAGS
>>737274277
Boku no Pico is great.
>>737276422
>skip Death Note
HERESY
>>737274277
Eromanga-sensei
>>737276836
>>737276805
i agree, death note is a must watch for all anime fans
>>737276524

>>737276805
Guess you guys right, correct myself
>>737274686

WATCH JOJO!!
>>737277233
Mojo*
>>737274277
Welcome To The N.H.K.! is a good one.
Code Geass. Dubbed on funimation
>>737274277
I'd say if you're actually trying to get into anime try watching either Death Note, FMA Brotherhood, Tokyo Ghoul, Bleach, One Punch, or Attack on Titan.
Personally I started with Attack on Titan and then got into some other anime. My favorite so far is Soul Eater.
If you want a life changing experience then I'd watch Boku no Pico. If you want more advice on that go to /a/
>>737277308
Lol
>>737274277
Read the Manga to fully understand
Jojo's bizarre adventure. It changed my life.
JoJo and Berserk
>>737274277
Cowboy bebop
Trigun
Samurai champloo
Space dandy
One punch man
Also watch in dub dont go full gook on me
>>737274277
One Punch Man
There is no other answer.
>>737277567
Better read Berserk manga
Op if you dont watch jojo your mother will die in her sleep tonighy
>>737277733
Dubs have spoken
Also this anime is good too
>>737274445
this
Ghost Slide
POKEMON IS THE BEST ANIME EVERR
bible black is really good, but it's kinda scary. I wouldn't watch it without friends and family around.
>>737275709
/thread
>>737274277
Code Geass could be a fun starting point.
Cowboy Beebop if you're lookng for a classic
>>737274277
What >>737274445 said
>>737274833
try Mirrai Nikki, has decent horror to it as well as some good romance (yandere romance but a romance nonetheless)
yuno
fucking
gasai
>>737276422
>seven deadly sin
fuck yes do it OP
No particular order, but these are all great series
>Steins;gate
>Cowboy Bebop
>Attack on Titan
>original Berserk
>Hai to Gensou no Grimgar
>Log Horizon
>Sword Art Online
>Erased
>Danmachi
>>737279560
Forgot
>Kill la Kill
>Gurren Lagann
>>737277596
trigun was my first ever anime and it will always hold a place in my heart, i remember years ago watching the showdown between vash and knives like "this is what i want to do for the rest of my life, just watch chit like this"
>>737274277
watch Death Note, then watch Code Geass
>>737279560
>sword art online
honestly was pretty shit (especially when they revived yue proving they wouldnt let any main characters die)
whatch the abridged sword art online though its amazeballs
>>737274277
Kill me heal me
I'm sorry I love you
Page Turner
A Gentleman's Dignity
King of High School Savvy
What's up
Marriage Contract
>>737279992
It's kind of a guilty pleasure for me, I really enjoy that series. I didn't know there was an abridged SAO
>>737279560
Fuck Log Horizon for getting my hopes up. It started off so well and just ran flat. Otherwise, good list.
Shinsekai Yori -- it's short, self-contained, and just an awesome story. It's an intelligent story, but it sucks you in and moves along as well as any action anime.
>>737274277
Korī in za hausu is pretty good, but it's very political.
Boku No Pico has a great plot but it takes a little to get to the "meat and potatoes" of it.
>>737280081
really didn't like the pacing of this one. felt tedious and slow, and the story was up it's own asshole very frequently. loved the art style though
>>737280081
I dunno. It's a really solid anime, but I'm not sure it would be good for someone's first. In particular, I disagree that it has fast pacing. It is very slow paced with a lot of build-up.
Naruto
YuGiOh
YuGiOh Gx
Crushed Gear
Beyblade
Yakitate Japan
Air Gear
Samurai X
Crush Gear
Doraemon
Ranma
Code Geas
Shaman King
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Just watch the TV series. Don't even bother with the movies. The way the series ended is how they should have left it.
>>737280062
dude FUCKING WATCH IT
it literally takes the same storyline, ads a touch of dark humor and a shit ton of sarcastic assholery and actually has more character development than the actual series, they just finished the first arc this month and stated they plan to abridge ALL of it
>>737280189
>>737280191
Maybe you kids should up your Ritalin if you thought this was slow pacing.
>If you would like an interesting story with lots of second guessing your own judgment then watch
Monster
>if you would like a very calm and interesting show that does nothing more than expand and explain its world then watch
Mushishi
>If you would like a true representation of what is shonen, with the main characters and the opposition continually becoming more powerful to best each other in combat then watch
Gurren lagon
>If you want to watch a show that answers the question of what if the hero was too strong, then you should watch
One punch man
Btw my personal recommendation
Katanagatari
>>737280062
I enjoyed the art, but Kirito was such a bland character.
>>737280194
Holy shit it's like this is a 13-year old's idea of quality anime.
>>737280436
Code Geass is the only not-shit anime in that list.
>>737280264
Nigga doesn't even get the magical girl setup yet you want him to watch a show that deconstructs every idea of it? I mean its a good show weather you understand the point of it or not but I don't think they would understand as much naw mean
Boku no Pico is a masterpiece.
>>737280639
It was the first magical girl series I watched. Really didn't detract from the experience at all. I doubt this dude would want to watch a real magical girl series first, when this is the best of them all.
>>737280351
Don't get mad cuz your suggestion got called out. It's not bad, it's just a slow moving, semi pretentious show
>>737280568
I tried re-watching Code Geass a few days ago. I cringed at how bad it was and the fact that I ever thought it was good.
>>737280898
Why would anyone want magical girl anyway?
>>737274277
Beelzebub.
>>737281109
Why not?
>>737276836
Maybe not entry level, but definitely good.
>>737281107
Don't get me wrong, it's one of the worst I've seen in a long time. But, compared to any of A-1's productions/adaptations, it's a masterpiece (given the time period it was made in).
>>737281040
Lol, not mad at all. I just think you boys aren't mature enough to appreciate a good anime without pew pew. You think it's pretentious because you're just not old enough to understand the psychology and politics of it. Watch it again after your balls drop.
Homestuck is the best anime.
>>737281308
>>737281109
Because it's an iconic anime with a great story?
>>737281444
But that's an over-generalization, not all magical girl animes are great. Also, it's an oddly specific genre compared to fantasy, comedy, horror, ect.
>>737281308
I'm 26. You're trying to play the age card and act hard.
>>737281604
What part of "it's", referencing the single anime in question, made you think I was referencing the genre? Anyway, I got trips so you lose. Don't watch it. It's your loss.
>>737281635
Lol, you think 26 is mature? Come back in 20 years, child.
>>737277436
You have shit tier taste
Welcome to the n.h.k
Psycho pass
FLCL
>>737279608
Both of these are Naruto levels of autism.
Like watching a fan made youtube video for the "lulz zomg so random" crowd
>>737281758
Nah, I've seen Madoka Magika.
>want to watch a real magical girl series
This is the part I was referring to.
>>737281818
Neuroplasticity is over at 25, he's mature, now he just needs to post-mature.
Ferment, perhaps.
>>737280290
I second this. It's. Balls out satire that is all around better. The main character acts like the douchebag he should have been all.along.
>>737274277
psycho pass
>>737280436
STOP BULLYING ME, ALL OF THOSE ANIME IS GOOD, AND YOU CAN'T JUST SEE IT
>>737281758
Why are you Madokafags so obnoxious?
>>737280194
nice b8 m8
>>737281308
You can't play the age card forever. The show was really slow going and plodding in pace. As a result it gives off the air of gravitas but ultimates came off as a self indulgent exercise.
Depends. Like know many like action anime but personally it does not appeal to me at all. I love comedy anime like yamadas first time and heavens lost property but many dont because its immature or what evers. So it depends on what genre you like.
>>737274277
c l a n n a d
do not watch anime; it will suck you in and make whatever self-confidence you have slowly drain away
The Monogatari series
Start with the Kizumonogatari movies
>>737282497
This is true. My sister has barely left her room in the last 4 years.
>>737282497
Not true just like any tv show . just dont get addicted and bench watch thats the problem with most shows
>>737282436
You should watch Shimonetta if you haven't yet. It's basically one giant dick joke.
>>737275422
To be fair Melissa is the best OP though
>>737282628
Not only anime . i see ppl sit in a couch for hours watching breaking bad or orange is the new black. Addiction to shows is common not just anime
Eden of the east
Samurai champloo
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni
Hataraku Maou-sama!
Try these out
>>737282436
Sounds like you just like hentai
>>737282929
Not hentai get your shit right
>>737274277
guess ill go for variety. no particular order.
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Death Note. YuYu Hakusho. Hellsing Ultimate. Koboyashi Dragon Maid. Higurashi No Noko Koro Ni. Mirai Nikki. Hero Acadamia. One Punch Man.
fuck me theres too many. go to MAL and see whats on there.
Death Note
Angel beats
Mirai Nikki
Evangelion
Kill la Kill
just some popular shows, if you watch a few and start to think about it. basically this is what you're gonna get from anime.
bonus: try Elfen Lied out if you get a chance, it will get you used to the edge if you don't take it mega serious
