Blood-C.

starts off like a girl in a small town setting

ends up going completely off the rails with demons tearing people in two

Literally any Ghibli film. I recommend Laputa Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away. Watch Only Yesterday too, it'll give you a good idea of how great an adult drama can be in animated form.

the very first one should be death note imho after that watch cowboy bebop and samurai champloo they have good action/plot/artstyle and bebop is very western-oriented so is good for beginners

definitely don't watch this >>222560 the only decent episode was the last one

>>222575
I like these.

Death note is for fucking autismos OP if you really want to enjoy anime with more than 2 brain cells watch this anons picks.

I got my friends started on anime with Fate:Zero. Battle Royale premise, with magic and heroic/antiheroic historical figures, so there's a good bit of action/fights, but there's also ideological/moral conflicts between characters, both from the present and the past. Despite what your friends might tell you, you 100% do not need to watch/read anything else in the Fate universe before Zero, it gives you what you need to know.

hunter x hunter 2012 is a good starting point

don't watch highschool dxd
or highschool of the dead

Maybe try Redline or Tiger and Bunny to break in

Watch jojo xD

I would also add the Miyazaki-but-not-Ghibli "The Castle of Cagliostro", which is a Lupin III story (but it's not necessary to know that to enjoy the film.)

>>222575
Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are probably the most recommended Ghibli titles, and My Neighbor Totoro is probably the most recognizable.

However, if you want something really easy and slow that will give you time to appreciate Ghibli's incredible attention to detail, I recommend Arrietty, which was dubbed for English release in 2010 as "The Secret World of Arrietty".

>definitely don't watch this >>222560 the only decent episode was the last one

you mean "there wasn't any gore until the last episode and i got bored". foreshadowing, little boy. look it up.

If you like over-the-top action movies, watch Black Lagoon. It's also a good starting point if you don't like reading subtitles, since it's one of the very few shows out there where the dub is better than the original Japanese.

hi! thx u for all the answers can't watch all :° and for answering urs question, i'm more like mystery and psychoogical stuff. what's ecchi btw?

>>222860
Some people claim ecchi is just really softcore hentai, but it's more like the worst kind of raunchy comedy films, except it's shitty anime aimed at permavirgin neckbeards, so it's even worse.

tl;dr: don't watch ecchi.

>>222860
Softcore porn basically. Lots of sexual content, but nothing explicitly pornographic. So bare breasts, heavy petting, etc, but no on-screen genitals. Ecchi can range from mild in sexual content (like many seasonal harem shows) to very heavy (Kiss x Sis, High School DxD etc).

Casuals often over-apply the term, calling any show with sexual fanservice of any kind "ecchi," because prudes cannot tolerate any kind of sexuality in their entertainment.

>>222860
how old are you?

If you are legitamately interested in getting into anime, there is stuff like fullmetal alchemist and neon genesis evangeleon, if you just want something to throw on to make your friends never mention anime again, the 4kids dub of one piece

>>222549
Everbody here is stupid
D-frag
Sabagebu
Kiss him not me
^ Funny and hardly plot to care about

Watch Tokyo ghoul. I thought it was a really good show with some interesting ideas and conflicts. The manga is pretty good too.
