ok last night while watching a stream with ivan, ryan, jeremy, and some of the other geeks and gamers team i heard jeremy say something about how he just started watching attack on titan and how he had never really watched anime before. it got me thinking, for those of us who have and enjoy it we need to give him a list, a list of anime for him to watch in case he wants to continue watching anime. so i figured i would start a thread to help here is some of my suggestions.
- My hero academia(i know everyone watches this but for good reason)
- black clover
- hellsing ultimate (it is more horror than action but still great action also afterwards watch the team fourstar parody of this)
- cowboy bebop (it is like the mandalorian without jedi, and with plenty of guns)
- guns smith cats (like bebop but with more women)
- gundam series( i prefer gundam wing but the newest iron blooded orphans is pretty good)
- robotech (stick with season one as the laters seasons took a nosedive)
- hunter x hunter (yes the dub in a disaster but the story is pretty good)
- neon genesis evangelion (this is loads of action but will screw your mind up for awhile)
- akira (it was the anime that brought me in but i still dont understand the majority of it but it was fun to watch)
- shadow skill (martial arts mixed with magic yes please)
- patlabor (giant robots, world ending plot where do i sign up)
- new dominion tank police (police tanks yes, crazy plots yes, lots of stuff blown up yes)
- demon slayer( love this anime, swords, demons, bring it on)
- One punch man (superman is to powerful and life gets boring)
- akame ga kill (women, cursed swords. lots of fighting)
- kill la kill (yeah not even going to try and explain this one)
- angel beats (people killed now live in purgatory trying to cross over)
- soul eater(witch hunters, hunting bad guys with people who turn into weapons)
- code geass(boy who is a genius and wants revenge gets power and uses it to start a revolution)
- Sword art online (boys gets trapped in VR game has to fight to survive has best waifu in anime history)
- Sword art online alternative gun gale online(girls, with guns fighting it out battle royale style)
- berserk( oh so much blood and that ending)
- gunslinger girl (small girls trained to be assassins what could go wrong)
- ninja scroll (yeah lots of bloods, swords, and martial arts)
- outlaw star (rogue ,get starship looks for treasure with a eclectic crew)
- Fire force (attack on titan with firefighters and lost souls)
- high school of the dead (yeah zombies, guns, high schoolers, dont know what elese to say)
the next few are more slice of life i think he said that wasnt his thing but will include them anyways
- violet evergarden (woman doesnt know what i love you means lots of sadness with a bit of action)
- k-on (slice of live but with happy music somethign to make the blues go away)
- beck:monogolian chop squad (classic music with a guy wanting to join a band)
- your lie in april(yeah you will need ice cream and tissues to watch this)
- Love live (dont judge it is a guilty pleasure)
- clannad (yeah will rip out heartstrings)
Dude.
That list is way too big and way too varied in both quality, age, and completion for an anime newb.
I forget what stream is was, it might have been the gaming with geeks stream on Saturday, but I believe Marc the Cyborg gave the best advice for helping someone like Jeremy to continue watching anime. If there is any chance for Jeremy to truly become a fan of anime, he needs to be specifically directed at completed series that even when presented to a normie it would be accepted and lauded. He needs to watch something that has no filler and that has been adapted properly from its source material.
I totally agree with Marc that if Jeremy is going to try another series he should watch something like Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Watched with either the sub or the dub, FMA Brotherhood is a perfect show.
Or, give Jeremy a Gundam show to chew on. He likes mechs, he loves action, and there are tons of completed Gundam shows to choose from that are all of quality.
Throwing out a massive disjointed list like that consisting of a mish mash of different sub genres, imo, will only scare someone off.
@Roas , I didn’t read the manga so I went without knowing what kind of anime it was, and I was blown away by the badass fighting scenes and blood. For me it was awesome, but yeah, I noticed that the ending was a little confusing/rushed, but in my opinion, didn’t messed up the whole product, it was a pretty decent show with an awesome art style. ;) But I get it it might be different for people who read the manga (like many other animes).
I started with the anime too, but after that ending I realized something was wrong and investigated to see what the manga was doing.
I highly recommend picking up the manga where it breaks from the anime. The depth and the richness of the story is a drastic difference, as well as the action. Where the anime branched off, you did not even get to see half of what the Claymores were capable of in battle with all their different abilities, not to mention their antagonists. As I said, it was a masterpiece of ultra violence action.
These list are crazy. He likes action based anime because he likes AOT. I’d have him watch Afro Samurai – simple story with blood, guts, & action. He is also into space adventures so maybe something like Outlaw Star. We should just have a voting list set up if possible. One for old anime & one for new anime so he can get a feel for both time eras. The best of the best.
