"I'm new to anime, what do i watch???" Megathread.

backagainst · 02-04-2021, 08:27 PM

Hello everyone, this is my first "megathread" explaining on how to start watching anime, so I decided to make one single thread for all of these questions. If you're about to make a post something like this:

"What anime do I watch?","Anime recommendations?","____ kind of anime?", this is the thread where you can ask me or someone else for recommendations.

I'll write down a few examples, and you can ask your questions here. I or someone else will try to reply in a timely manner.

(Keep in mind I'm a lazy ass, so the list probably won't be as large as you're hoping.)

EDIT: Spoilers seem to be broken. I've changed it.

My recommendations.

I WOULD SYA WATCH PARASYTE ITS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE

Zedrix28000 · 02-04-2021, 08:50 PM

They are my favorite characters!

adamh98 · 02-04-2021, 08:53 PM

I think Cowboy Bebop is the "least anime-like anime" i've ever watched, meaning, it's not that intense like a lot of other animes, becuase let's admit it, some animes can be a bit too much for someone who is new in the genre. Let's just say that Cowboy Bebop is much more American/European style than Japanese, so it's a good start. And, it's a cult-anime, so everyone should watch it at least once who watch animes regularly.

That's a great and thorough selection - I think I'll definitely find a lot of inspiration in this list, even though I've seen quite a lot of anime already, so thanks a lot!

Do you think you would ever find the time to make a small selection of, like, the three best out of each genre or something like that? That would be really helpful as well.

This is indeed a megathread.

How about you just put all those into a MAL account to have it more organised?

LeoDusset · 13-04-2021, 05:14 PM
