I got one.
How about Shrek?

Oh man! You are like some nickname wizard!

 

[Soul.]

Oh I know. If you want to watch an anime for the first time, watch Naruto and Sonic X.
...I didn't say that, did I?

 

[Trick or Treat]

I disagree. lol

You should start with something in the middle-road. Something that isn't terrible, but that isn't utterly fantastic like FMA Brotherhood or Code Geass.

Some of my recommendations would be stuff like Assassination Classroom, Soul Eater, Blue Exorcist, Owari no Seraph or World Trigger. Those have action, some comedy, start out slow and take their time to introduce the characters and setting before going into the main ride, getting more serious and developing the storyline and characters.

They're all shounen and are good ways to get into manga and anime.

Then you can get into the to the likes of FMA Brotherhood, Code Geass, Kill la Kill, Attack on Titan or Death Note.

This is my opinion, though.

Is Kill la Kill really that good? I knew it was well liked, but to put it up there with FMA:B and Death Note (and AoT to an extent) is a little unexpected. I can't say anything because I haven't watched it, I'm just stating that I never realized it was THAT good.

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

....WTF THAT THEY DID TO YOU KEN?!?! No, seriously, this isn't Ken for me! It's his evil clone right? Well i will see Maximilian reaction about that.

Ken looks the best he ever did. And the more they try to make him less of a red Ryu, the better.

Kill la Kill isn't amazing in story, but it's definitely is not for starters because of how zany and fast-paced it is.

Not to mention the fanservice. lol

It's definitely not in the same level as FMA:B or Death Note in regards to story. That, I very much agree with.

 

[Luggy]

Those "DO IT" parodies are my jam.

 

[Deleted member]

Oo! Oo! Give me a nickname! If ya want...

"Shrek_is_love"
Sil.
Done.

 

[FalKoopa]

Sure. But if the anime is mediocre, it's mediocre. Brand names don't always equal quality.

I think the Indigo League and the Hoenn ones are still okay-ish. Others, I dunno.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Oh man! You are like some nickname wizard!

Um T-Thanks. I try.

Meh, Kill la Kill is all right. The ending was rushed though, and the OVA afterwards wasn't really "exciting".
It's good, it has good references (Hokuto no Ken and JoJo), excellent animations but not a great story.

It's good I guess. Not the "anime" of the century, but it's still nice to watch.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

"Shrek_is_love"
Sil.
Done.

I was gonna go with that, but it just doesn't have a ring to it.
Unlike Shrek.

I had weird dreams again lol

Hello humans, what I missed?

I love the detail in his eye movements

Exactly what I'm saying. It isn't amazing in regards to the story.

It's good, but it's not a brilliantly written story or anything, but that isn't the appeal in the first place.

It's the kind of anime that is so absurd, it's enjoyable in its own way. It parodies a lot of common anime tropes and it's pretty much a satire of anime clichés overall.

Waait! I have see a trailer "leak" on Maximilian channel. (who is pretty happy by the way) And he look way better that the image that i see. But man, THAT face tough! (On the image)

How dare you call me that. I'll have you know I'm a merman, thank you.

Not much.
What were your weird dreams?

 

[FalKoopa]

My first anime was Lucky Star and it completely sucked me into comedies. Lol.

I also learnt anime basics from there - the big companies, voice actors, other big animes, generic anime character archetypes, etc, with a little help from TV Tropes.

Wanna see the trailer for it ?

Ken Master is far from his old self now. And it's good.

 

[Frostwraith]

Still on the topic of anime and manga, another amazing series is Parasyte. A must watch/read for any anime/manga fan.

Jesus! Did you at least have insulin with you? That high of a blood sugar is not healthy.

Emphasis on "old" isn't Ryu like 50 in-universe

@ Substitution

You have a soft spot for the Ballonicorn of TF2, yes?

I tried watching Lucky star I just got annoyed at the "moe"

I would rather watch bloody/sports/non romantic animes.

 

[Mythra]

What were your weird dreams?

I got stalked by a girl to the point I was shaking in fear because she tried to enter to my house by force

Now that you mention it, my addiction to cute and sugary stuff, as well as appreciation of snark can trace it's beginning to there. Yep, I'm a diabetic.

 

[Frostwraith]

I wouldn't be surprised if the character Nui Harime from Kill la Kill was a subtle jab at the moe stuff that is so prevalent in anime nowadays.

Sounds like the girl Shia called the cops on

My first anime was Bleach. For a year or so, it was the only one I watched, and I got so sucked into it thinking it was the best thing ever. It actually had a good suspense plot going through the first 3 arcs, and it got better when the Soul Society arc started when new shinigamis were introduced with all their crazy zakpakuto superpowers. I was a sucker waiting to see them all in action.

It's aged and nowhere near as good as I used to believe, but I still have the first 3 arcs in boxsets.

I saw the word soul and immediately thought of Soul Eater

huh?

Soul Eater is miles better in comparison. ^_^

I'm gonna use one of your favorite gifs as a reaction...

Please, don't "speak" french out of nowhere for nothing.

Soul Eater is what got me into the anime/manga craze. lol

The manga, especially. The anime was good until they diverged from the manga and pulled a rushed ending.

I'll tag @aldelaro5 to accurately know what are you saying

I didn't know I had the ability to believe that the worst will happen. Y'all should stop with that nonsense.
I say something and, oh wait that's believing in the worst. Clearly.
