I've decided to admit to myself that I want to watch anime. Where do I start? I remember people used to make flowcharts for getting into X, so those would be nice. So far I've downloaded (based on recommendations from others):Steins;GateSerial Experiments LainLucky StarAnd I like all of them if that gives you an idea of my tastes.
Steins gate is a good intro anime for sure.Lucky star and lain are more niche for sure.Lain is for tech nerds and nostalgia, lucky star is full of references to other anime.You can't really go wrong with the popular classics like Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Attack on Titan etc.Subs never dubs
>>1501958code geass is pretty cool. it could also be your entry to mecha anime mainly because the mecha isn't the focus, but it is there in the plot just enough that if that's your style you could go even further that path.gintama never failed me on the comedy side, seitokai yakuindomo if you like sex jokes every 30 secondsw4aw
>>1501958I would recommend a more grounded anime that doesn't require you to understand wacky anime tropes just yet.Some examples from different genres: Death Note, Frieren, Haikyuu, Apothecary Diaries, Violet Evergarden
>>1501958Ashita no Joe
>>1501958Boku no pico.
>>1501971retard, go slit your writs and rub salt in them
>>1501958Japanese culture is dead thanks to globalization and technology. Watching anime is like watching family home videos of a dead family member.
>>1501976Filtered
>>1501958Death note is a great anime to start with. If you like it, you could then go on to watch Monster. Both have a good english dub, so I suggest you watch them with it.
>>1501958Azumanga DaiohHaruhiK-On
>>1501958I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Cowboy Bebop yet, it's a classic.
>>1501958>Steins;Gate>Serial Experiments Lain>Lucky StarIt sounds like any anime works for you. Thriller/sci-fi, sci-fi sci-fi and moe.If you like fist fighting, Ashino No Joe is the bestIf you like sword fighting, Vagabond is greatIf you like comedy, call me a faggot but I half agree with >>1501966, at least manga. Half because around chapter 300ish the composition was getting messy for me, and I dropped it. I suspect anime is a lot better in that regard. Also Cromartie High School is greatIf you like romance, My Monster Secret/Love was nice. If you like thriller, 21 Century Boy is great. If you are even picker than that, ask chatGPT.>>1502038Samurai Champloo: only a single season too.
>>1501958It doesn't but that's not an issue.Go watch some staples, and don't be afraid to try new series. Death Note (definitely start with this one)K-OnHigurashiEvangelionMade in AbyssFMA: BrotherhoodMovies: Spirited Away, Your Name
>>1502045>Made in AbyssDamn you're starting him on the strong stuff
>>1501964>subs never dubsNever heard of DBZ?
>>1502048didnt stutter
>>1502048He's right tho
>>1501958watch good anime, not moeshit
Never been to this board, so sorry if mass-replying is frowned upon here.>>1501964I've seen Steins Gate a lot when looking for popular anime, I'll give it a watch. I am a tech nerd, lol. I'll check out some of those other ones. I studied Japanese in college so subs will probably help.>>1501966Sounds neat. I remember my cousin was into mecha anime a long time ago. I also played a Danganronpa game and it was neat
>>1502080>>1501968That's the kind of thing I'm looking for; I'll check those out.>>1501969Never heard of that one>>1501971>>1501976I remember that trick from years ago, lol.>>1502001Neat, thanks>>1502032Those look cute>>1502038That's one of the first ones I downloaded; the description makes it sound really good>>1502042It is a pretty wide spread, lol. Honestly I think I might like a romance anime; I'll check the others out, too.>>1502045Death Note seems like a popular recommendation. I'll have to watch it. I also downloaded Evangelion and plan to watch it. A lot of people I know like Spirited Away and Your Name.
>>1501958skip slice of life stuff until you're used to anime tropes otherwise it might turn you off. You're gonna want to watch some "normalfag bait" shows first like>steins gate>cowboy bebop>death note>jojo>full metal alchemist brotherhood (you can try the original but it deviates from the source material)>attack on titan >demon slayer>goblin slayer>kono suba >one punch man>mob psycho>samurai champlooyou can start with these but there are a lot better shows that you might now appreciate if you watch these first to familiarize yourself with anime
>>1502032I can't imagine watching the endless 8 as your first anime
>>1501958Here is a chart for mecha.
>>1502221No thanks spammer.
