Anime recs

Are you looking for anything in particular?
Go watch Madoka Magica.

Just something I like. I haven't really seen enough anime to know what genres I like (or what the genres are).

Generally speaking though, I'm looking for something where the characters feel authentic and are well written.
Generally not a fan of action for action's sake, I want it to be important to the story.

Psycho-Pass isn't an action series...

Try Ghost in the Shell.

I think I only watched the first episode tbf. Didn't really click with me.
I'll check it out, thanks!

>>245116 expanding on my response:
Ghost in the Shell is excellent in terms of writing and character presentation. Watch the original movie and the series (Stand Alone Complex) and ignore the Arise/live action bullshit. Keep up with the dialogue. I hope you enjoy it.

I also recommend giving Psycho Pass another chance. It's a dystopian/sci-fi/crime drama about a concept that I think is very interesting (psychological crime coefficients) and there really is only action when there needs to be (i.e. the task force taking down the bad guy).

Furthermore, check out YT channels like Digibro, Mother's Basement, Under the Scope Reviews, etc. for great analysis/discussion of anime and plenty of ideas for what you could watch next.

Fuck it just go watch everything in pic related.

>>245123
I dunno, I felt like Psycho-Pass was trying a bit too hard with all the cool terminology. Also the way concepts were introduced by way of the protagonist (who has supposedly been trained) not knowing anything and having others explain them to her felt a bit clumsy.
And also the fact that she's getting so shocked by these things that are supposed to be standard in her world is a bit unrealistic.
Might give it another go but not sure.

Cheers

not OP but I heard Madoka was refering a lot to the mahou shoujou settings. Don't we need more than 5 anime completed to go into it?

>>245128
Nice, genres are a welcome touch too
Thanks

Might as well post the wiki.

You're welcome.

The only thing needed is a vague notion of what is a "magical girl". If you ever heard of Sailor Moon then you are good to go.

You should probably watch some of Hidamari Sketch first.

>>245115
>Erased
watch Parasyte -the maxim
>Inuyasha (finished watching it because I'd never seen it through to the end as a kid)
try Samurai X (specially the OVAs) and Samurai Champloo, both are 'must watch' imho
>Kids On The Slope
try Planetes and Great Teacher Onizuka, the characters feel 'real' and they get you hooked within the first minutes
>Ping Pong The Animation
for something more artsy and experimental try Kaiba or Mononoke -not princess mononoke-, for sportsy watch One Outs and Kuroko
>Steins; Gate
try with The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (similar in the sense of the characters plus both have 2 seasons and a movie) and maybe Serial Experiments Lain

some favs worth mentioning but not necessarily recommended for newbies

Don't bother going back to it, just watch minority report

>>245082
Cardcaptor Sakura.

>>245128
I realize it's in alphabetical order here but having Diebuster listed before Gunbuster as a separate show could be misleading to someone who is still very new. OP, absolutely do NOT watch Diebuster before watching Gunbuster.

This is a good list though.

Thanks to all, I've saved your recs and will go through them, really appreciate it

The ef series. The second one is better than the first, but all in all It's a really introspective romance series with an interesting visual style.
