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

Berserk, bubblegum crisis Tokyo 2040, perfect blue, Eva, Lain, Akira, Rose of Versailles, utena, penguindrum, gunbuster, LOGH, Arslan (1991-1995)

Definitely berserk though

>>
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.

>>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.

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

According to you.

Hazukashikunaku kaiten da, yorokobi no tame ni.
Betsu no nijuusen no koto wa shiranai kana,

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).

20th Century Boys

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.

just start with the popular ones.

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.

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.

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.

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.
