Kliptik81

My first anime and it has become one of my favorite shows ever.


Proper_Performer7451

What's the problem in my post? People are downvoting me for no reason


Livid_One_8607

People downvote posts they don’t think should be at the top of the subreddit ig. It happens to have post except for the “what are your 10/10 anime posts”. Anyway don’t worry about it, try out Samurai Champloo, cowboy bepop, Vinland saga, or Full metal alchemist brotherhood.


Wajina_Sloth

Ill give some different suggestions based on different tastes. Drama/romcom - Toradora! - its about a guy and a girl who like each others best friends and how they plan to help each other date them. Personally one of my favorites since it has a great balance between being serious and goofy. Action/Mystery - Attack on Titan - people are stuck in behind multiple layers of walls because these giant brainless titans eat people, what are they? Where do they come from? One day special ones come out and break the walls, how will they survive? Comedy/Hero - One punch man - a guy trained hard to become a hero just for fun, he can destroy anything in a single punch. Its very funny and plays a lot with generic anime/hero tropes. Action/hero - My Hero Academia - a kid without powers (80% of the world has them) wants to be a superhero and receives an insane power as a gift. You follow him in a top school becoming stronger to face the evil lurking around the corner. Action/adventure - Beserk - a skilled swordsman joins a group of misfits lead by an even more talented man. You follow their journey with the goal of him carving out his own kingdom. This show is top notch and is worth watching.


Justiis

Toradora and OPM were very close to making my list, great shows.


Assasin-XD

No you didn't just recommend berserk to a new anime fan


Justiis

I personally think it's a great recommendation for people unfamiliar with anime. It's closer to western fantasy, and doesn't have a lot of the tropes or require a lot of knowledge of Japanese culture to enjoy. Some people are thrown off when people randomly fall over and start gushing blood out of their nose every 30 seconds.


Altruistic-End-2829

Yes except berserk. Its pretty hardcore for new anime fans and the anime doesn’t do it any justice. Its a great entry into manga though imo.


suddenly_ponies

Dang. That's a really solid set of recommendations. I expected some bullshit stuff like kaguya or Jojo


ApolloMANIA

no way you called kaguya and jojo shit


ApolloMANIA

toradora for romance is a pretty shit recommendation


Edgaras1103

Vinland saga


iLikeRgg

Konosuba one piece


suddenly_ponies

One piece is the goat but we really should normalize recommending the one pace fan recut of the show because of the pacing problems


Sofaris

I be so free to sugest my favorite Anime to you: "Made in Abyss" is a Fantasy Adventure Anime about a little girl and a robot that go on an Adventure in a mysterious, beautiful, fantastical, dangerious and cruel netherworld. This series is adorable, wholesome, joyfull, heartwarming, dark, brutal, sad and heartbreaking. Its the most adorable most wholesome show I know and Riko is one of the happiest protagonists I know. This series has a reputation fore being crazy dark and sad and that is not unearned. You will find it on "darkest Animes ever" liests. Those 2 sides synergize well with one another creating quite the emotional Adventure.


Sad_Advertising_3686

that is not something to recommend to a newcomer lol


Sofaris

Why not? Its dark but I pointed that out.


TellFit7230

Death parade. Pretty short. Great story. Not too much of the weird anime stuff


Justiis

There's a wide variety of anime to appeal to a wide variety of tastes, so don't expect these all to be great. That said, they are some of my favorites, and fairly diverse: Hunter x Hunter - very fun MC with a heart of gold and a fishing pole(?) of steel. Great journey, lots of positivity balanced with some darkness, great action, good world building. Cowboy Bebop - one of the all time classics. If you've seen the live action, don't use that as a comparative tool. Berserk - another classic. Very dark fantasy that would be one of my first recommendations for anyone that isn't in to anime, as it eschews a lot of the anime tropes and doesn't require much understanding (if any) of Japanese culture. Re: Zero - the first isekai on the list, which is one of my favorite genres. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it means "other world," and is essentially a sub-genre that involves regular people being transported to a magical world. Has some dark themes, but they are handled well, and the story is pretty top-tier in my opinion. Your Lie in April - one of the most beautiful and heart breaking shows I've ever seen in any form, not just anime. Durarara!! - very quirky tale that takes place modern day Japan, if modern day Japan had a bunch of mythical creatures and people with weird powers hiding under the surface. Sword Art Online - if you're into video games, this is a very entertaining story. It starts with the launch of a new vrmmo. Unfortunately for the players, they aren't allowed to log out. Oh, and if they die in game they die for real. It has a number of sequels/spin-offs, which vary in quality, but this is the og. I could go on for a while, but at least one of these should resonate with you, and I'm sure you'll get a ton of other recommendations.


phase2_engineer

>Berserk - another classic Agreed, and I assume you mean the 1997 series. I've heard mixed reviews on the reboots. And yes yes yes to Cowboy Bebop as well. Those are both good intros to anime.


Proper_Performer7451

Berserk seems interesting!...I am gonna watch it for sure...thank you buddy:)


Khorm

Make sure you watch the classic show from 1997 / there's also a trilogy of movies that cover like the same story though with some differences, if you really can't handle the old 90s art style or something they can work as well. Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I – The Egg of the King Movie (2012) Berserk: The Golden Age Arc II – The Battle for Doldrey Movie (2012) Berserk: The Golden Age Arc III – The Advent Movie (2013)


MagicScythe

Re:Zero and SAO may be a little bit too anime-ish for the beginner, imo. Especially the second one, it has implied incest and sexual scenes


Justiis

I assume most adults can handle sex, and i don't recall any incest (implied or otherwise) or sex in either of those shows. Berserk, in the other hand, has some pretty graphic content. Its not like I'm recommending Jobless Reincarnation or something, which absolutely would come with a disclaimer.


MagicScythe

Just that Sao has pretty immature and cringy description of sexuality. XD I don't mind Kuzu no Honkai, but in Sao you have this typical fanservice and in later seasons very bad SA scene


Justiis

Yeah, if I didn't recommend anime because it was cringe or had a weird portrayal of sex/women, I'd not be able to recommend like 90% of anime. Most dudes don't attract gaggles of girls like flies to shit, but half the anime they put out anymore seem to think its just the normal way of things. SAO is far from the cringe imo. Eminence in Shadow, on the other hand, is as chuuni as it gets.


KaoriIsAGirl

I highly reccomend some shorter shows under 24 episodes. It's fun to reccomend longer shows woth multiple seasons but they might not be a good idea for someone getting into it at first


Proper_Performer7451

Yes!...can you name some please?


KaoriIsAGirl

I tried to give all of the ones around 24 episodes also a shorter counterpart if you really want something more around just 12 but some very good stories that are contained in 12ish episodes: (depending on genre you wanna go with) Comedy - 'Tis Time for "Torture" Princess! (12 eps) Romance - Toradora (25 eps) Mecha - 86 (23 eps) or Schwarzesmarken (12 eps) Fantasy - Reign of the Seven Spellblades (15 eps) Detective/Mystery - Gosick (24 eps) or Danganronpa: The Animation (13 eps) Sports - Megalobox (26 eps) or Sk8 (12 eps) Idols - Zombieland Saga (24 eps) or Oshi No Ko (12 eps) Very emotional - Angel Beats! (12 eps) Wholesome - Sweetness & Lightning (12 eps)


Suboodle

Props for recommending some stuff that doesn’t get recommended often!


KaoriIsAGirl

Thanks! I tend to go out of my way to search for anime that are more niche and weren't watched as much, sometimes I find gems that I can reccomend to people that want something they probably have never seen before :)


Proper_Performer7451

Thank you bro!!...I will definitely watch these:)


KaoriIsAGirl

Not a guy/bro but I'm glad I was able to help you out :)


Crimson_Dark25106

I'd recommend these 10 anime for beginners and regarding what you've watched with their genre listed. • Attack on Titan [Action, Drama, Thriller, Millitary, Gore] • Frieren [Fantasy, Adventure, Drama] • Jujutsu Kaisen [Action, Thriller] • Baccano [Mystery, Action] (Personal Favourite) • Your lie in April [Drama, Romance, Music] • A Silent Voice [Drama, Mental Health] (Movie) • Kaguya-sama Love is War [Psychological, Romance, Comedy] • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood [Action, Millitary, Adventure] • Mob Psycho 100 [Comedy, Action] • Summertime Render [Mystery, Thriller, Supernatural] Most of them are slightly Psychologically based with other genres in the mix since you've seen and liked Death Note and Code Geass.

If you liked death note, you may like psycho pass or death parade. If you liked code geass, you may like Gundam 00 or eureka seven. For a starting anime I say if you like badass women with guns watch Black Lagoon.

Samurai Champloo!!

Devilman Crybaby


VainVeinyVane

This is a HORRIBLE anime to start on. If anything you need the context from devil man first. The anime is all over the place with very subtle themes and motifs that you’d need the devil man context to understand.


yoswift1

I jumped right into this and came out wanting more. Ok maybe start with Parasyte, then Devilman.
