OP, ignore all these terrible suggestions. Most of these might be to over the top or incredibly overrated. What you want to be watching is: Cowboy Bebop Akira Ghost In The Shell Ninja Scroll (Film) Princess Mononoke Berserk Outlaw Star Metropolis |

Me too. Who knew cartoons could be this good, huh lol? I stumbled on it from exposure to gaming (which my roomates played but I never did--Final Fantasy, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.) and being struck by the soundtracks more than anything. Realized I was after more than just cut scenes, and walla...anime lol. I'd recommend giving the members here an idea of the niche you prefer. There's a lot of knowledge on these boards... |

Prepare to either start doing bad in school or work because you slept late watching 1324324356 episodes of anime you need to catch up on. Since you just started, you sir have been missing out on a lot of anime. |

If you think anime is good, wait til you watch Breaking Bad. Everything else will feel second rate afterwards. |

ona said: I think everyone should give controversial but popular anime a try though, and decide for themselves whether they like it or not. There's little sense in hating a series simply because the haters are so vocal about their rage for it.Sword Art Online is a very polarising anime. I'm one of the people who hate it and I would advise you to stay far, far away from it. I, too, was drawn in by the first episode, but it all goes to shit from there. |

Thanks Proust! It's great to finally find people that I can talk about it with. Hardly anyone from where I am from watches anime. I really appreciate it guys. I love action and drama and I enjoy romance too. Character development is important to me. And humor is great too. I'm really new to this so I'm seriously open to anything. |

Yea, I would stay away from: Chaos;Head Highschool DxD (Might like if you're into ecchi) Yosuga no sora Boku no pico Here's anime across a variety of genres, since I'm not too sure what you're into. Shingeki No Kyojin (Action tragedy) Steins;Gate (Mystery, Sci-fi, Drama) Rec (Short, romance) Seitokai Yakuindomo (Comedy) Denpa teki no kanojo (Crime, Mystery, psychological) Kore Wa Zombie Desuka (Harem, comedy, action) Also If you enjoy SAO, you might want to check out Btooom! |

Just recommend whatever show you want him/her to watch. Don't have to fight over which show should be watched or not in this thread. Let the person asking for titles to be the one that decides to watch it or not. Watch all of what GReeeeN_ORangE mentioned, but just drop any you don't like. That means that I'm telling you to also check out Chaos;Head, Highschool DxD, Yosuga no sora and Boku no pico yourself. Chaos;Head = contains gore, and a lot of horror and supernatural twists. Highschool DxD = Ecchi and a numer of sexual innuendos... Yosuga no sora = immoral love, their story is actually very memorable, only thing that's bad is the ero-content in the anime. Contains short stories and tragic backgrounds for each character. >> Boku no pico = boyxboy love, any guy would tell you to stay away, but any yaoi fangirl would contaminate your mind by making you watch this. Your choice! |

Baccano Code Geass Death Note Steins Gate These are all a good place to start. |
5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

Your choice! I have valid reasons for suggesting op to stay away. Chaos;Head. Not terrible, but bad. Easily by far the anime with the most cliches. Too many plot holes. Juxtaposition between his normal life and other life way too sudden. Highschool DXD. Like I said if you're into ecchi, by all means. Yosuga no sora. "immoral love" For the last 2 episodes of the whole season ;). The rest was the MC fucking every female in this anime. So please. "immoral love," please. 0 character development for the 2 protagonists. Only character development for the supporting characters. Now, let's elaborate my point a bit.First let's talk about one of the supposedly two protagonists in 'Yosuga no sora' the sister. She appears completely arbitrarily and randomly to fulfill her role as the MC(As the MC should appear predominately throughout the show, am I wrong?). Whether that's appearing for 10 seconds to say the line " I hate mosquitoes" or to convey the imperative message to the audience of how bored she is.I believe It's paramount to put 5 second segments into each episodes to portray how mundane and dull the MC's life is. I mean. After all. She is the MC. But wait. That is what accounts for her character development? I mean. All of a sudden. Through all those scenes. We. Understand. Just how powerful the developing affections the two protagonists feel for each other. The hatred of being bored and being hungry. The ramifications of being home alone. The tragic life of the MC. So emotional. Deep. Sad. Sorrow. Now let's juxtapose this to the brother's character development. Which leads up to this beautiful meaningful forbidden relationship. Root. Root. Root. Root. Okay, run out of chicks to root, I'll root my sister. Boku no pico? Please. |

Here's what people talk about, getting into anime you might need those to get then into more stuff. Cowboy Bebop. Sword Art Online (yes, its trash, but you might still enjoy it and its talked about, so get an opinion if you care. Won't type this to other trash in this list.) Shingeki No Kyojin Mirai Nikki Guilty Crown Neon Genesis Evangelion Akira Ghost in the Shell Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Fairy Tail One Piece (that is actually kinda worth the 600 episodes if you like the beginning and have some free time) Naruto Steins;Gate Baccano! Durarara!! Hunter x Hunter Fate/Zero Kara No Kyoukai Haruhi Suzumiya K-ON (Oh god, I'm kinda crying inside while typing some of these.) Go for Berserk manga btw, the anime is kinda choppy and not for the new generation of anime fans that are attracted to glorious visuals and artstyles. Mizayaki and Satoshi Kon films' Highschool of The Dead Mushishi Inferno Cop Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Redline Sword of the Stranger Akira Monogatari series ToraDora Death Note Code Geass Angel Beats Hyouka OreGairu Welcome to the NHK Soul Eater Higurashi OreImo Black Lagoon Clannad Legend of The Galactic Heroes Ergo Proxy Great Teacher Onizuka Hajime no Ippo Kuroko's Basket Bakuman And that's pretty much it, not all of them are great, but they're quite good for getting used to anime and all of its genres. Plus they're still talked about and its a nice way to meet people as well. |

OP, do you enjoy Tarantino movies? Then watch Cowboy Bebop & Samurai Champloo. You'll love this. Do you enjoy Sci fi films like Blade Runner & 2001: A Space Odyssey? Then watch Ghost In The Shell & Akira. Do you enjoy Dark fantasy like Game Of Thrones? Then watch Berserk. Whatever you do, avoid trash like k-on, one piece naruto, bleach, lucky star, clannad, haruhi, is this a zombie, etc. Death Note is also good, but massively overrated. Possibly the highest level of over hype. Same with attack on titan. Or forget anime, and watch Breaking Bad. The greatest show ever made. |
