i'm not asking as a hater I just don't know where to start

like i love game of thrones and all the other hype western shows but what is it about anime that has people so hooked

i'm down to get invested

only anime i've seen was death note for the first however many episodes until spoiler

about 25 episodes in

@ANIME

Cool art

I like certain kinds of animes where the animation is simple and doesn't get too rowdy with the characters like f***ing tentacles or eight gazilion eyes. That type of s*** freaks me out no cap.

Few animes I recommend though:

Samural Champloo
Cowboy Bebop
Hunter x Hunter
Ping Pong

My taste level is basic though, I'm sure there are other anime ass niggas that can give you a good place to start

Also, you gotta peep in Jap with Eng subs don't be a b**** and watch with Eng dub

since you said you like Game of Thrones watch Berserk, dark and violent medieval fantasy fantasy with incredible action, voice acting, animation, music, etc. one of the greatest animes ever created

"anime" ain't a genre, it's a medium like tv series, books etc. to convey art.

start with attack on titan and go from there

dorohedoro
magical destroyers

if u like chaotic and silly anime

Start with Monster it's on Netflix

Top 5 anime for me

y'all literally create this same thread every single year

The Sins of our Fathers.

@op they recommending some mid in here start with run with the wind and golden boy

i got all my friends into anime with AOT i think it’s a great starting point

This is the best starter honestly

Yep, I was gonna recommend this too

real

From what I gathered, it allows for more creative stories to be told because it’s animated and they take more risks because their animation isn’t aimed at only children like a lot of western animation is.

I’m no expert though I haven’t seen many past a few Ghibli movies

And a lot of them tend to be pretty philosophical and tackle deeper issues. They also can capture and convey emotions very well

Japan, infantilized women, animation

Co-sign Berserk tho

Starship Troopers without the satire

i’m half joking i just want him to watch my picks first

i know aot is considered a goat show and is a lot of ppls intro to anime

just not my typa thing

golden boy is dope but it's got too much fan service for noobies lol

can't tell if this is a knock or a compliment

it’s almost always a knock if it’s a @Rockman post
