So l'm thinking about getting into anime. What's a good starter pack?
Cowboy Bebop and JoJo. Don't forget to download every smug anime girl with MAGA caps as well.
Neon genesis evangelion + end of Evangelion. M
You can never go wrong with Oreimo
>>36414645
lmao yes post this thread on /a/. theyll love it.
If you are a robot watch welcome nhk.
Its required watching.
pico no roboto
literally just lurk more
there are so many resources out there. why are frogposters so dumb?
Try Squid Girl, Attack on Titan, Ghost in the Shell, Kanon, Serial Experiments Lain, Princess Mononoke, Sound! Euphonium, Azumanga Daioh and One Punch Man. For example.
Just remember it's a very big medium and a few of them don't represent all of them for better or worse. If you drew your conclusions about anime based on Akira it would be very different than if you drew them from Sailor Moon.
Just go with whatever is the animes of the season are and work your way backwards.
>>36415285
That's one way to do it, but then you have to keep waiting for new episodes, and we're only 2-4 episodes in.
How hard is it to google?
anything/everything by studio trigger
nothing else is even slightly worth watching
>>36414597
Watch VOTOMS
>>36414597
Here's a list of recommended anime.
I can give you personal recommendations if you wish.
Just say some of your tastes, stuff like your favourite games and if you like action/comedy/fantasy/scifi
Berserk, bubblegum crisis Tokyo 2040, perfect blue, Eva, Lain, Akira, Rose of Versailles, utena, penguindrum, gunbuster, LOGH, Arslan (1991-1995)
Definitely berserk though
>>36414597
Y tho?
Anime is like rap. Yeah some good stuff actually exists but it is 99.999999999% garbage
>>36415971
>it is 99.999999999% garbage
Meme.
>>36415998
Of the hundreds of animes I have seen, I have enjoyed maybe 3
>>36416027
That's because you don't like anime, not because anime is bad.
>>36416065
Objectively it is. It's not my fault you diefy japan you filthy weeb
>>36416117
It objectively isn't and I never indicated in any way that I'm a weeb.
>>36414597
Kodomo no Jikan and K-on.
Thats some top tier animu.
>>36416624
All the hate against K-On is a meme. Most people haven't even seen it.
>>36416790
Yea beside autistic main character its really funny
>>36414597
>thinking of getting into anime
That's bit like saying you're thinking of getting into brain cancer
Shin Sekai Yori
Baccano
Sword Art Online is the best intro to the medium
FLCL
Welcome to the NHK
Jojos Bizarre Adventure
Steins Gate
Mushishi
Gurren Laggan
Bakemonogatari
Cowboy Bebop
Toradora
Spirited Away
This would be my recommended starter pack. There's a good mix of genres and styles here, and each of this is generally highly praised inside it's genre. You definitely should skip Sword Art Online and ReZero if those get recommended to you
>>36417775
Let me guess: Re:Zero should be skipped because it's isekai?
>>36417312
Don't listen to this guy SAO sucks
>>36414597
Attack on Titan and Death note are the two primary novice anime. If you don't like at least one of them, anime isn't for you.
>>36415285
That's a bad idea as most anime this season are either season twos or trash.
>>36417312
I really really hope you aren't being serious. I don't know how anyone got past the first episode of that garbage show.
>>36417859
There's a lot of different anime and AoT and DN cover only a small part of them.
>le season is trash
Maybe anime isn't for you.
>>36417846
No, it should be skipped since it's shit. There are some good isekai shows like Konosuba.
>>36417882
This season is trash though. And how is that good for a novice anyway? They should go back and watch the best shows before sticking to seasonal stuff.
Also, I attempted to watch that terrible fucking animalgirl anime thing that everyone is talking about and it is FUCKING TRASH. Couldn't get past the first ep. People's standards are getting lower.
FLCL
Lain

Re Life
Stick to short series and keep away from school girls blowing magic out the ass on roofs.
>>36414597
make sure to include a gun so you can kill yourself afterwards for watching anime
>>36414617
Don't watch EoE it's normie trash for people that wanted the last episodes to be OMG ROBOT FIGHTZZZ
lucky star nigga
>>36417923
No, I don't think anyone should skip a show just because Anon over here said they should.
>>36417941
>This season is trash though.
Well, you know, maybe anime just isn't your thing.
>Also, I attempted to watch that terrible fucking animalgirl anime thing that everyone is talking about and it is FUCKING TRASH.
Why is it supposed to be trash?
>>36417945
>keep away from school girls blowing magic out the ass on roofs
Why should anyone do this?
>>36415197
le lurk moor may may XD
Fuck off
>>36415998
Sturgeon's Law is a fact you pretentious weeb
>>36417969
There was one robot fight. It was the true ending you mong.
>>36418181
It's a meme, and I didn't say anything that indicates I'm a weeb or pretentious.
>>36417981
ReZero is worse than 95% of the anime recommended in this thread. While the show might already be liked by people who already have bad taste, I don't think OP with a fresh palette would like it.
I agree with not writing off all magical girl shows though, some are quite good like Madoka or Little Witch Academia.
>>36414597
It depends on your taste. Anime is a medium not a genre. Once you have that start with some classic stuff (late 70s-80s) and work your way up to now.
>>36418198
You've said plenty to indicate that you're a sperg, which is the same as both
>>36414597
Watch miss kobayashi's dragon maid really comfy anime
>>36414597
code geass
the robot fights are kind of autistic but the entire plot is such a spiraling trainwreck for every single character that you cant help but watch in awe
basically take a bunch of stubborn, self righteous people each with their own unique plans for what the future should be and lock them in a room together
thats code geass
>>36418204
>ReZero is worse than 95% of the anime recommended in this thread.
According to you.
>>36418241
Where did I indicate I'm a sperg? What does being a sperg mean and how is it synonymous with being a weeb and pretentious?
Go with Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood
>>36418190
Good point, that's really all that stuck out to me. I prefer the last two episodes regardless
>>36414597
This chart is fairly accurate.
>>36415264
Higurashi you gay nigger
Start with Inferno Cop
After that you've seen everything the medium has to offer
>>36414597

Why is Porco Rosso so obscure? I thought it was miles better than Totoro.
>>36419674
That's why I said it was only fairly accurate. I watched Porco Rosso on TV a few weeks ago, on a normie channel.
"Welcome to the nhk" is obligatory for anyone on this board.

i'm not an anime expert but i love these shows
attack on titan

>>36414597
Ghost in the Shell is the usual gateway anime.
After you get into it, I recommend Azumanga Daioh anime. Really comfy watch.
Initial D was my first, try it out

Nichijou
A poem in japanese to keep it original:
Furukiyoki kono koumon fumitodomaru koto ga negau.
Rokujuunenkan wa yoku yokatta da.

Furui kono koumon wakai iru koto ga negau,

Cowboy Bebop is THE entry level anime, and it represents everything good about this kind of media.

Definitely watch Nichijou. You can't go wrong there.
Also, Dragonball (the original 1984 one) will always be a timeless classic.
>>36417969
>normie trash
Normies hate eva lol. They watch rebuild instead.
Fucking weeb trash
>>36414597
Bump my dudes and it's original
>>36414597
Dragonball
Dragonball Z
Dragonball Super
Digimon Seasons 1 and 3
Avatar the Legend of Aang
All other animes are unironically trash, don't fall for the meme op. Only watch what I listed.
Monster
Space Brothers
Grave of the Fireflies
Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Dead Leaves
The last three are movies, but still top-tier, IMO. Also, I haven't seen it, but Barefoot Gen seems neat if you're into that kinda thing (post-nuke Japan).
>>36418301
This. It's an excellent entry anime, that tends to get overlooked now that it's not relevant anymore.
>>36417945
>>36417775
>>36419241
>>36420336
Good lists.
Im not a lot into anime, here is what I Watched/read and enjoyed:
Monster
20th Century Boys
Pluto
Steins;Gate
Detective Conan
What Should I watch or read next?
Kaiji! The great lord and savior of all anime!
Cowboy bebop,JoJo,Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood,Evangelion,Steins gate is good too
Berserk is a pretty epic series but the anime sucks.Read the manga instead.Trust me,its great.
Lads, how are Mushishi, Usagi Drop, Tatami Galaxy and Angel's Egg?
pls respond
take other peoples recommendations with a pinch of salt because theyre just giving you whatever shows they like when you probably have a specific taste of your own. you'd probably love a show that only a handful like. so take the recommendations here as rough guidance for what the different genres feel like.
>>36423076
adding on to this,
just start with the popular ones.
>>36422981
>Mushishi, Usagi Drop,
pretty good
>Tatami Galaxy and Angel's Egg
never saw these
>>36414597
R.O.D. -the t.v.-
Maria Holic
Arakawa Under the Bridge
Stand Alone Complex
Darker Than Black or Wolf's Rain
Honorble mentions are Eva, Mitchiko, Electromagnetic Girlfriend, Flcl, Haruhi, Azumanga, and I can't understand shat my husband is saying.
>>36417969
Disappointed anon.

>>36418439
>that's really all that stuck out to me.
Even more disappointed anon.
Cowboy Bebop and Baccano are essential starter series. After that, move onto some more "experimental" stuff like Mononoke (tv series) and Kino's Journey. After all that, give Evangelion/End of Evangelion a try to ease yourself into more typical anime tropes. Further on, watch some cheesier stuff like Fate/Zero and Hunter x Hunter.
Anime is a slippery slope. You'll start out looking for good action/drama, but by the end of the ride you'll be a jaded piece of shit who only consumes Slice of Life. Once that happens, try out Maid Dragon and Daily Lives of High School Boys. ALTERNATIVELY if you're already a jaded loner and don't mind a bit of melodrama, skip all this and watch Welcome to the NHK.
>>36415971
99.9999% of everything is garbage, you fucking moron.
Also I wonder why I don't have you filtered already, you cancerous fucking tripfag.
Take this handy chart
>>36417969
>EoE
>Normie trash
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>36424182
It's on the "I'm not like other normies"-tier.
>>36424198
Kek, you must be really far gone if you think that's true. That or you literally are one of the "I'm not like other normies" people.
>>36424395
Let me guess, you also like Stein's Gate, Serial Experiments Lain, Psycho Pass?
>>36414597
Watamote and welcome to NHK are fantastic robot animes, but if you want something that doesnt hit so close to home anything by Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle for example) is comfy af imo.
>>36424422
I enjoyed them for what they were, doesn't mean I go screaming about how good they were and I mean they are decent. There's not being a normie and then there's not enjoying things that are actually decent because of your made up social status. And trust me anon EoE is not normie tier at all.
>>36414597
30 years down the line it'll just be another portion of your life that you regret
fuck all of you autists
>>36416027
Which 3?
You have been muted for 2 seconds, because your comment was not original.
Start with something short and then go with the longer shows if you end up liking anime.
I really like the shorter 12-13 episode shows. The first one I saw entirely was Watamote, since you're on here I assume you'd like it a lot. Madoka Magica was really dope too.
>>36414597
Look into genres you already appreciate, don't fall for the "my favorite anime is the world's best starting point" meme. You should maybe look through /a/'s genre charts or at least describe what you're searching for here.
>>36424179
are you shitting me!?
no Jojo's bizarre adventure!?
>>36426005
The chart was probably made before 2012.
>>36422981
gib more answers please
>>36414597
My personal recommendations are: Black Lagoon and Full Metal Alchemist (Either Brotherhood or not doesn't matter, i found them both just as great)
