| What anime show would you recommend to someone who despises the anime medium in general? |
 |
| A Ghibli film, a Watanabe Shinichiro work, and something like Monster or Death Note. |
    beep boop bop pow |
| Akame Ga Kill is one example for me. One of my friends thought anime was childish and he actually genuinely changed his mind when he saw AGK episode 1. As for what to recommend, show them something super dark and fucked up. Most of the time it's because they think it's for children or they can't get into the animation (even though they loooooove Disney movies) |
 |
| Grand Blue, a good laugh can make you forget about the negative things on your mind. |

| Gintama and Grand Blue... both shows can make you laugh out loud.. |
Linux_2020 said: Gintama and Grand Blue... both shows can make you laugh out loud.. But doesn't Gintama's comedy rely heavily on referencing other famous manga and anime shows? I'm sure some people who generally dislike anime wouldn't get most of its jokes because they watch less anime than the average weeb. |

| Probably something on the lines of Cowboy Bebop, The Great Pretender, Violet Evergarden or something by Ghibli. Since they "hate" anime, I wouldn't recommend a show that is too battle shoneny (like My Hero, Demon Slayer or AoT) or something moe (like K-On or Yuru Camp), but rather something with has a great sub/dub, something that isn't exactly "Japanese" and would be popular enough to talk about and not feel like they are a weeb. |

I have a friend that likes comedy variety shows, then I recommend Gintama to him as his first Anime, He really enjoyed it though... Anyways, it's up to a person whether he/she likes the anime that I recommend or not, all I can do is recommend. |

Gintama is intended for cultured viewers and is not suitable for newcomers who haven't seen enough classics. |

| Boku no Pico to seal the fate of hatred. Make sure they understand that it is a typical anime nothing out of the ordinary. We have enough haters around here do we really need more. If you want to bring them to the anime lover side then I would start with something like Ghibli movies, stay away from shounen shit and anything too cute, also avoid typical anime romances they can be tedious. I usually start with movies since they are shorter. Death note is great but 35+ episodes is a lot to commit to a series for a new person. Stick to shorter series with good endings and stories. |
| "hey bro i know you hate anime and all but you should check out cowboy bebop" yeah no that probably wouldnt work. even a ghibli might be a little too much for someone that hates anime. I think i would recommend some thing crazy like Mad bull 34 or one punch man |

I'm sure Boku no Pico's notoriety as an infamous meme is what turned some people into anime haters who believe anime is only for perverts and paedophiles. |
|
| Probably a studio Ghibli film? or something like Your Name? |
| so what exactly is a signature? |

| My husband doesn't like anime but he likes Baccano!, Ghost in the Shell: SAC, FMA:B, and Violet Evergarden. He also likes Ghibli films. Well.. He likes Totoro. |

|
| Monster Code Geass Death Note AoT FMAB is also a great show to start hooking with anime, but I always recommend watching FMA 2003 first if you haven't seen FMAB yet. But for people who hates anime, I don't think they would enjoy both... |
| Something mainstream but really interesting like AOT. Then, moving onto other mainstream that are really cool like One Punch Man maybe. |
 |
| It really depends on the person, but so far I've had the most success recommending MHA as their first |
 |
| I wouldn't recommend any anime to someone who already hates it. That's how you annoy people. That said, if such a person asked for a recommendation, I'd have to consider their age and preferences (also, which anime do they hate and why?) to suggest something that might be enjoyable for them. Could be anything from a Ghibli film to Texhnolyze or Little Witch Academia depending on who it may be. |
| Anime with broad appeal especially for common westerners like Cowboy Bebop perhaps? |
 |
| Unless that persons hates animated content in general it's pretty much guaranteed their hate of anime is based of stereotypes or just a few experiences. You always consider what someone enjoys in other media when introducing them to anime rather than just going for a few popular "normie" shows and films. Ultimately though again depends on the willingness to try if they are just openly antagonistic to the medium no point in pressuring them. |
| Definitely Studio Ghibli movies, Deathnote, FMAB, AoT, and Monster. |
 |
| In general i would suggest: Non non Biyori For a gamer who hate anime: Net-ju no suzume or wotakoi, some sport anime such like kuroko no basket. |
 |
| a ghibli movie, either howl's moving castle or spirited away |
 |
| Vinland Saga I guess , when I was first watching it as a newbie I think it has horny fanbase, classic moe kawaii trope, naruto-esque characters but actually it isn't .I'd recommend it to older people . For a teenager I would recommend Fate/Zero |

| "What anime would you recommend to someone who hates anime?" Little Witch Academia (2013) |
| No anime. What's the point of forcing someone into something when he hates it? Especially if you want to show him something that is different (normie friendly/aimed to westerners) than general anime. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |

|
| I think most people who say they hate anime hate the exaggerated emotions and battle shounen. So anything that's not that. Maybe Cowboy Bebop |
 |
| it depends on this person’s interests but i think everyone i recommended hxh started watching anime everyday so i think thats the anime i would recommend. fmab is also a good choice. |
| Death note. Perfect beginner anime. No weird crazy anime concepts that need to be explained. No extreme artstyle . |

Ultimately though again depends on the willingness to try if they are just openly antagonistic to the medium no point in pressuring them. Yeah, most anime haters dislike anime because of a few anime stereotypes that lead them to generalise certain mediums and genres; for example, slice of life anime have no story, mecha is an excuse for plotarmour, ecchi are soft borderline porn, sport anime are slow-paced and dull, hentai is about rape and tentacles. Moruna said: Nothing. Why would you want them to do things they hate? No matter how amazing the show is, they will despise it just because it's the anime show. Leave them live their life without anime. Instead if you are the more open-minded one, do things with them which they like to do. It will be more fun for both of you. rsc-pl said: No anime. What's the point of forcing someone into something when he hates it? Especially if you want to show him something that is different (normie friendly/aimed to westerners) than general anime. That is a reasonable response, but some people dislike anime for the "wrong reasons," which include anime stereotypes, common art styles, common target audiences, or judging the anime medium based on its mainstream titles. Which brings us to the point of this thread: some anime lack the aforementioned reasons, and thus may appeal to people who despise anime but have never tried titles appropriate for them.

I guess then they confuse the word "Childish" with "not R Rated or above" or "aimed for children". |

| Something that isn't long and doesn't have much childish stuff since most of the people who hate anime think only kids watch it. Also stay away from fan service. So the usual classic, Death Note would be a good start, and if they think the animation sucks then Jujutsu Kaisen. |
| It's pretty hard to go wrong with a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex rec. |
| "If it's not big, it's only a bust," some guy on the internet |
| I’d say erased. It’s short, enjoyable, Non-action and gives them a glimpse of what anime is. Also no fan service so they won’t think it’s weird. |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| Anime haters seem to like Death Note from my experience. |
 |
| Since most of us agree on an anime led by a psychopath, can we add Redo of a Healer to the mix? |
