Best German media? Anonymous 12/22/25(Mon)05:25:44 No.217806475 Archived

I'm currently learning German, I already got the basics down but I'm trying to find good German media to get used to the language.

What kind of series/movies/books do Germans generally consume?

The German dub of whatever you were going to watch anyway. 95% of the media produced here is government funded trash

König der letzten Tage is a good movie with Christoph Waltz about the anabaptist rebellion in Münster. Bit long though.

>Books
If you are into reading fantasy books, The Dwarves Series from Markus Heitz and The Elves Series from Bernhard Hennen are some of the big german fiction works from the early 2000s.

In terms of youth literature, I'd suggest Krabat by Preußler
