| She has never watched anime before and I have one chance to get her to join us. She watches a ton of movies with her favorite genre being thriller and second favorite being drama. Best movie of all time in her opinion was Taxi Driver if that gives you an idea of her tastes. Please help me everyone, I don't wanna screw this up heh. |
 |
| Perfect Blue Get her started off with a movie. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| He posted exactly what i was going to say, perfect blue is perfect(fucking puns) for this situation. Also just saying if you even do get her into trying show, rec monster. Also just saying for a drama rec sword of the stranger, its more of an action than anything but it does have great drama and while not a thriller, it does have thrills. again just shooting blanks here |

| Uh... Steins;Gate, but given the first half, it's kind of a long shot. Mirai Nikki *glares at negative opinions* is a definite recommendation. Btooom! seems to fit everyone's recs, as usual. |

Getting non anime viewers into anime through reccing a show is a bad idea, movies are great cause they are quicker and easier to watch, especially since you can say "hey try out this movie" rather than "hey try out this anime" And in all honesty we should be saying the former anyways |

I'v heard from a decent number of people that the author's other work 20th century boys is better Strictly a matter of opinion. I've read the manga for 20th Century Boys and I didn't find it to be anywhere near as good as the anime for Monster, but honestly, it's so hard to draw comparisons between two different series when they're already on different mediums. |
| I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| I will watch Perfect Blue later tonight to see if that one looks good for her. As far as a slower starting one I know she would not mind that, however Monster would be too long to start with, I would say around 24 episodes max, though 12ish would probably be better. Thanks for the recommendations so far. |

EVB said: Watched Perfect Blue last night, and I dunno, it was ok but nothing special. I don't think it was good enough to get her hooked. :/ Well, when she's up for a longer series, Monster is the best choice. Paprika can seem to be out-there but is a fantastic thriller. Death Note is a good into for anime newbies, very popular and a decent thriller. Gankutsuou: the Count of Monte Cristo is very good, but after the first episode (which definitely hooked me) there are for or five eps where nothing much seems to happen. Then the intrigue starts. Baccano! is full of action and mystery. However it's a marathon anime for at least the first three eps because the storytelling jumps around a bit. After that things make sense. |

Checking out Paprika as soon as it finishes downloading. I may end up settling on showing her Death Note if I can't find anything else, though I'm worried about her zoning out during the weaker second half. I am also considering throwing the thriller idea out of the window and showing her 5 Centimeters per Second. |

| >ctrl + f "nisemono" >0 results Disappointing, all of you. |
| Well, I don't know if you're trying to show her something you like and think she would like as well or putting aside your own taste and showing her something she might like. Ask yourself the question, "do we like the same kind of stories?" And ask yourself how much you like thrillers. Perfect Blue and Paprika are top tier movies when it comes to suspense. Anyways, I second the notion that you show her Death Note. It's the definition of "entry level." |

DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: Yes, that's exactly what it means. I'm assuming of course the person in question here has some kind of decent taste, these people usually are able to grasp the beauty of monogatari. Two friends of mine actually started with Bakemono (nise wasn't out yet) and of course they were confused a bit at first, but they soon could adapt to it and cherish it as the gem it is. Just cause a anime is good doesnt mean its a good gateway anime You don't have to show people some shitty entry level stuff to get them into anime, at least if you hope for them to develop some kind of decent taste. Bakemonogatari gave my friends at least something they didn't see in live action stuff thus far, and therefore really got them thrilled after a short while and hooked on anime in general. I wasn't quite serious with Nisemono obviously though, someone just had to say it. Bakemonogatari would be the way to go, otherwise I actually agree, it'd be too confusing. |
bNq said: I don't think that the problem would be that it's confusing, but rather that you need to watch Bake first, and the anime is extremely ecchi with tooth brush rape/sex scenes and incestuous undertones. It would fortify the prejudice that most people have of anime being cartoon porn.I wasn't quite serious with Nisemono obviously though, someone just had to say it.

See the key word was "YOUR FRIENDS", you cant generalize with what your friends do to some complete stranger casual you never met and likely never will meet. The reason your friends have a higher chance of liking that was cause you guys would have to share some similar interests to that of you and naturally would be a bit more comfortable with getting into the show than others Also not all entry level anime are bad, thats just ignorant to think that. Just cause things like bleach and code geass have very poor track records especially since there are differant gateway animes than others, and for thriller bakemonogatari is far from one, go watch a movie like Rear window or a Hitchkock movie, those are thrillers, now comapre them to bakemonogatari, in comparison BM looks more like a comedy/parody than a thriller as well a sbe a huge turn off from its blatent ecchi moments that only get more frequent as the show goes on to even divulge into outright nudity which to a casual female like op's sister will likley be turned off by cause the monogatari series does not help the stereotype that all anime is peverted As said before, it is possibly one of the worst things to show to someone as a gateway anime. What the op needs to show to his sister is something thats more serious and if theres comedy it should be less immature and more on the dark comedy/witty side, doesnt rely on blatant fanservice and has suspense. It wouldnt need all of that in one but still its best to be looking for. Also op i suggest getting something with a good dub Since thats more appealing to watch something in your native language than read subs the entire time to someone that likley isnt used to that, Baccano may be a great pick, its short, has the best dub ever, doesnt follow stereotypes, and is pretty western. |

bNq said: Yes its ok for me to generalize because i use a little word called "Likley"(I'm going more with what the higher probability would be rather than just go off faith in my fandom like you) as well as admit things that are more fitting from the op's description than just whatever i think personally is goodDJIzzyIzzyHitler said: But it's ok for you to generalize and say that it's a bad gateway anime, because... well because you say so?

Feel free to have the last word if you like. For example the one i think is a perfect rec for this was perfect blue.....I dont really like perfect blue much, what your doing it just building up a show that you really like not really using your head as to how someone else who ahsnt been so well adjusted to the tropes and feel of something like anime will view it This thread isnt about what we like and how we should shove its "greatness" down the throat of a casual cause our friends can recognize its "genius". Its about trying to find the right thing to show to a casual based off info from the op regardless of its subjective quality in our eyes. |

| Ok thats good if she doesnt need dubs, that does make things alot easier to fidn that fit. Anyhow my rec sitll stands that Baccano would be a good fit, especially if your sister has ever liked a tarintino film. Not because of my previous statement but if you do show her Baccano make sure its dub, more than any series watching that in any other language just feels......wrong. |

| Basically everyone's been saying this without actually saying it: ANYTHING by Satoshi Kon. He's the master of awesome drama and thriller. Millennium Actress is phenomenal, though more on the drama end. And yes, Perfect Blue is the quintessential smart thriller (though you've already ruled that one out). Other movies that might work: Memories (series of three shorts. The space one with the word "Rose" in the title is the one to watch, ignore the other two) Princess Mononoke (It's more fantasy, but serious and with good action drama) Kara no Kyoukai 1 (Weird but drama and thriller-y) Kakurenbo (Suspense/thriller fantasy) Ghost in the Shell (I hated it, but it's drama and highbrow/arty) The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Not as much a drama or a thriller, but interesting time travel piece with some dramatic elements) 5 Centimeters Per Second (Drama with an interesting backdrop) The Place Promised in Our Early Days (Drama with an interesting backdrop) |
