Heya fellas. Just as the title suggests..I am a total anime newbie. Got hooked after a friend of mine showed me a couple Studio Ghibli films and I fell in love with anime as an art form. I'm kinda kicking myself for not getting into the hobby sooner, since I'm a big gamer and have been playing JRPGs since the late '90s...heh. Anyway I'm all for recommendations so any anime (doesn't have to be a masterpiece, heck I'll watch anything these days) you got, feel free to tell me about it.

Hello and welcome to MAL! Hope you will enjoy your stay.

On the other hand you can still quit anime, before it's too late...

You start watching anime for the sake of girl with nice design you saw on the cover image, then get excited because she did something cute. Or you start participating in waifu wars. Or having waifu in general. Or when you start using word deconstruction towards every show you encounter. Or... you get the idea.

As you can see there are many red flags.

Obviously, it's just a meme. Don't take the community too seriously and watch what you like ;)

Whoa, intense. Ironically, Waifu Wars sounds like it could be an actual anime. lol

Thanks for the (meme) words of encouragement, Barnald. Haha. :D

If you want recommendations, could you tell a genre you are interested in.

Also some general recommendations cowboy bebop, one punch man, fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, koe no kotachi, death note, kimi no nawa.

Sure, no problem. I'll watch anything as long as it's good but some specific genres would be action/supernatural/mech/sci-fi. Anything like that. Thanks for the recs, mate. :)

Welcome to MAL! I'd recommend Hyouka, (slice of life, mystery, and romance) Hunter x Huner (action) Tsubasa Chronicle and Haikyuu!! (sports and comedy)

I would also recommend Toradora!, but only if you like a bit of drama :) KoboSuba is also hilarious, K-On! is a very nice slice of life, Darker than Black is a great action anime, Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is a fun action/comedy, The Deadly Seven Sins is also a nice action, Death Note is a good mystery about two geniuses who battle each other, a classic. Flip Flappers and Redline are both eye candy material and Shelter is a very nice short music video what accomplishes a lot in a few minutes.

I hope you'll enjoy your stay here! ^-^

Welcome ^~^ add me if you wanna chat sometime.

I recommend Toradora for a great romantic anime, Plastic Memories if you want a lot of OOMPH and DAWWWs over a small dose, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia if you want romance and mystery sprinkled with horror.

And for just some gool ol Shounen time, Hokuto no Ken.

I'd recommend you start with the original 1979 MSG. Then progress to Zeta, ZZ(first 10 episodes aren't that great), and then CCA. If you want a less complicated story go for SEED.

Welcome!

Actually I am also still quite a "newbie" at MAL. I don't see much people with less than mine "29 days" of anime. But one of my first anime was Psycho-Pass, it is a great start and great series overall. I discovered it also on the forums;)

Have fun in the anime world!

Haha no problem! I think 100 people will recommend you 100 different animes, you should just decide for yourself and do not rush whole animes in 1 day, you wont feel attached to it otherwise. Have fun!

Hiya, welcome to MAL, hope you'll like it here lol

I personally recommend JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to everyone, though it might be off-putting to a newcomer (and only gets good a few episodes in). If you try it and don't like it, try one of these (since you seem to love films):

Koe no Katachi
Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda.
Karigurashi no Arrietty
Hotarubi no Mori e

Feel free to send a friend request if you want more recs!
