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?

if you really like horror and creepy then check out Higurashi, that shit is fucking creepy and really good.

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).

Very good anime highly recommend great story and lots of action

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/

watch Death Note, then watch Code Geass

honestly was pretty shit (especially when they revived yue proving they wouldnt let any main characters die)

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.

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

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

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).
>>

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.

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.

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
