Thinking about getting into anime finally, recommendations?

What would you guys recommend?

@vvoodst0ck:

• Death Note
• Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
• Code Geass
• Ghost in the Shell

Good starter options, and they're not hundreds of episodes and overwhelming like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, or Dragon Ball.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

• Ghost in the Shell
• Inuyasha
• Naruto
• xxxHolic
• Bleach
• Sengoku Basara
• Tokko
• High School of the Dead
• Helsing
• Ghost Stories
• Trinity Blood

There is a lot of great anime out there....

FMA: Brotherhood. My favorite anime ever.

@vvoodst0ck:

Cowboy Bebop is honestly the easiest anime to start off with. Nothing to crazy and just one season, also it's considered one of the greatest anime's.

Trust me..... ALL VERY GOOD ANIME! and not super long. That Monster though.....have fun with that. Crazy story with possibly the best villain in fiction in my opinion.

Vampire Hunter D Bloodlines

Cowboy Bebop

Death Note

Trigun

Samurai Champloo

Tenjou Tenge

@guardiandevil83: I wish they would have completed the tenjou tenge anime to the end of the manga.

Monster City

Vampire Hunter D

as a person who doesnt like much anime,

i freakin love jojo's bizarre adventure

@gamiz7: While Jojo is fantastic.

Please don't have someone pick that up as there first anime. lol

@the_dark_void: Part 1 is the worst and most unoriginal part in JoJo. At least recommend the entire series.

Anyways:

• Samurai Champloo
• JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
• Ghost in the Shell
• Samurai X
• Space Dandy
• Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

These are good, yet easy anime to hop onto.

Do NOT watch Ghost in the Shell.

Magi:Kingdom of Magic and Magi:Labyrinth of Magic

@thekillerklok: why not its fantastic , it never gets boring

i also recommend attack on titan

Gurren Lagann

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Cowboy Bebop

Code Geass

Well, I haven't watched anime since like 2011-2012 but here's some anime's that I really enjoyed

• Eyesheild 21
• Gintama
• Claymore
• .Hack//Roots
• Angel Beats
• Initial D
• Gundam 00
• Amnesia
• High School of the Dead
• Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere (honestly I don't ever remember watching this at all but it was on my CrunchyRoll history)

Listen to this man, only thing I would add is Durarara and Cowboy Bebop.

boku na pico

@mad_titan: You are a very mean person. >__>

Code Geass

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Hunter x Hunter (2011)

Naruto----->Naruto Shippuden ( There are alot of episodes due to filler episodes watch with caution still really enjoyable)

Tiger and Bunny

Kiba

Hellsing

Death Parade

The World Only God Knows ( Be warned the anime skips some of the interesting chapters from the manga)

Eureka Seven

Also the others alot are recommending like Cowboy Bebop etc..

-_- don't make the poor guy go through the same torture I went through after I was forced to watch it.

On topic, go check out Hunter X Hunter (2011). Critically acclaimed series (and rightfully so) although it is a tad bit slow and generic at the start. It honestly turned into one of the most well thought out and developed shounen series I've ever watched.

What are you into?

• Code Geass
• FMA: Broterhood
• Death Note (stop at episode 25)
• Hellsing Ultimate

I'd say those are good choices.

Death Note

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Code Geass

Hellsing

Ruruoni Kenshin

@vvoodst0ck: Most Important Rule of Watching Anime: Stay away from schoolgirl/ecchi/harem/magical gIRL/generic shonen shows.

They are cancerous and are a disgrace.

There are many great anime out there, so dont let the bad ones ruin it for you. Some of the best are:

- Code Geass (GOAT)

- Death Note

- Gurren Lagann

- Ghost in the Shell

- FMA Brotherhood

- Cowboy Bepop

- Samurai Champloo

- Hellsing Ultimate

All are excellent shows on par with some of the best western comics and shows IMO.

I don't really watch anime, but I really enjoyed Naruto and the first part of Sword Art Online

Steins;Gate if you like brilliantly-made time travel mystery. It's slow at first for character building but I liked it because its humor fit mine

@etheral_dreams: How could you? You would deny him this? Never know he might like it.

@vvoodst0ck: watch cory in the house

or King of the Hill

2 of the most underrated animes ever.

Samurai Champloo.

@micah: Highschool DxD...

Not for beginners. Not for sane people. Not for anyone.

But I respect your opinion.

@vvoodst0ck: what do you watch usually or prefer? What are you generally looking for? I'd say you have heard a little about anime before, what would you like to see or avoid?

Action/suspense/gore/school-students/darkness and what not.

Either way, if you're not sure,

Death note

FMA: brotherhood

Code Geass

Or more recently parasyte are safe choices. Not too long, not too weird either.

@vvoodst0ck: Yu Yu Hakusho, trust me it's BA, also if you watch Naruto make sure to also watch SD Rock Lee

If you like zombies and The Walking Dead, give Attack On Titan a try. It's not a zombie anime, but the concept is similar.

I can't bealive that this one is not being recomended more. It was the only thing anime-lovers talked about for an entire year.

it depends on what you're looking for...

try watch Toriko if you want comedy and fighting

HxH if you mostly like fighting and don't care much about comedy (but it's still in it)

try berserk if you want something serious and badass

try death note, kaiji, one outs or Akagi if you like psychological things

try kuroko's basket if you like sports, (or search for the sport you like and there should be at least 1 anime about it)

there are also many other genres so look for something you may like

@beaconofstrength: What? It's unoriginal but it still has the best JoJo.

@the_dark_void: But Jonathan ... Was ridiculously boring compared to the other JoJos. Heck even Jotaro had an awesome Clint Eastwoodish vibe and epic one liners to help him.

My lisf for people trying to get into anime:

Cowboy Bebop

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Samurai Champloo

Death Note

The Devil is a Part Timer (hilarious)

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

There's also a new anime that just started called "Charlotte" and it's pretty good so far.

it depends

there is normal anime like death note, and aot and full metal alchemist

and there is weird as hell stuff

stuff only hardcore, no life weaboos would watch

im talking real weird, tuff that could scar you for life

haha yeah that's the stuff i always end up watching when i'm bored and looking for new anime!! some of them are actually good

@the_dark_void: Jonathan is the worst JoJo; he was just one big cliche. The best is Johnny, followed by Josuke, Jolyne, then Giorno.

@masker: i saw parts of corpse party and elfen lied

now im never the same

Because people began to realize that Attack on Titan was just overhyped. It has some good parts, yes, but overall, it's just... okay. It gets really boring during the middle.

Elfen Lied.
