Anime hater's worst nightmare?
Trying to create a list of anime for people who have tried anime before but weren't really into it.
Looking for recommedations that would convince someone who didn't like anime at first to change their mind. Probably something less anime-y if that makes sense? We're assuming they already got the "AOT, HxH, and Death Note" treatment. And a show that would get you hooked within like 3 episodes before they get turned back off. I'm looking for BANGERS y'all, any ideas?
Cowboy Bebop
Afro Samurai
Cyberpunk EdgerunnersAll with amazing dubs (imo better than their respective subs) if they're not into sub yet
YESSIR this is good, appreciate it!
Afro samurai was made in English
Ok, ok I see the vision, these are solid!
Thank you! They’re each amazing in their own ways!
At first I didn't think csm was a great answer for this thread since it's shounen and MAPPA, but it's really a lot better action and first episode than the "AOT, HxH, and Death Note" treatment
Ofc Code Geass and Neon Genesis Evangelion would be great answers, however they both have a slower hook as you need to learn about the characters and world before you are truly invested in what is happening
Let em stay filtered
We gotta share the love though, imagine if someone's first anime recommendation was eromanga sensei lmao
True, you cant recommend peak too early. Otherwise theyll hate every other show
Fuck you're right
I think you can appreciate these without having watched anime
I made a more humane and dramatic selectionMarch comes in like a lion Season 2
The Tatami Galaxy
A Silent Voice
Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju
I was also going to say Rakugo, I think it's great for people who don't like anime specifically because they think it is too "unrealistic" or "immature". also great for lovers of live action dramas and historical fiction!
That's right. Rakugo has a realistic approach, so everyone can relate to it, to some extent.
Wait I gotta catch up on these myself, rakugo looks like a hidden gem, I'm excited!
Tatami Galaxy will be way too much for a new anime watcher
@Sluee Yeah, maybe you're right.

Hm~. . .the thing is I do not know if there really are anime that would universally convince anyone to give this sub-medium another chance because of the fact people have different preferences in what they enjoy. The fact that in your scenario the person who hates anime were already expose to Attack on Titan, HunterxHunter, and Death Note, anime that are highly regarded by many, shows this as despite those three reaching popularity, they are not universally liked. So what exactly is going to be banger to anyone is more of a case by case bases. For this reason if I was going to convince someone to give anime another try I would take into consideration of their preferences such was "what is their favorite genre," "what tropes do they typically enjoy seeing," what themes are they interested in exploring". Something along those lines.
This is a good point, even if I was able to make the perfect list for beginners it'll never be a 100% chance that it'll convince someone to get back into anime. What I'm looking for though is more of a starting point so that once I get to know what they like and dislike, I can refer to this list to see if I can find something they might enjoy. You never know though, some people just don't like the idea of animation, but at that point I'd just give them some regular shows they might like.
A great starter for all :)
GOBLIN SLAYER
Kinda surprised no one recommended Redo of Healer or Boku no Pico, but yea this one wins.
thank ya
02 gif just screams degen

I’m laughing so hard
If only her finger was bleeding, that’d be so hot
People keep missing out on these, like One Punch Man is enough to get you addicted to anime.
One Punch Man
Dr STONE
Saiki Kusuo no nanHere's where it depends on taste. I was formerly an anime hater, tried the "AOT, HxH, and Death Note" treatment plus a few others, Promised Neverland, and the one is still dislike, One Punch Man
Idk how I forgot about one punch man I loved that show bruh
Monster
Perfectly fits the description of less anime-y, however not sure if anime beginners would sit through the entire 74 episodes, but if they did they are in for a real treatSteinsGate
This is definitely filled with its own share of fanservice, but the main premise and character development of it is less anime-y and will make a person cherish it
Honestly really the only mature anime i could find.
I'm assuming they've also tried FMAB. Kaguya Love is War, and Spy x Family bc I think these are better for beginners and have a better first episode than the ones you mentioned.
86 EIGHTYSIX
CYBERPUNK EDGERUNNERS
Bungo Stray Dogs
Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai
^These are still beginner anime, but with more unique plot and characters
lol
use these tips
group watch
dont watch dub
try to blu ray or torrent
go for the more extreme examples of anime
understand that some people will just be filtered
DARLING in the FRANXX
This one worked with me
I apologise if I didn’t get the prompt had to go thru the other replies to understand aLSK
From what I understand, I would rec shows that are abit unconventional from the norm whether in terms of artstyle/animation, plot, setting, storytelling/narrative etc. (and not the typical top 5-10 titles we always hear eg. JJK, MHA, AOT, HXH etc..) here are some shows that peaked my intrigue in the few eps & quite convinced me that anime was worth it :DOuran Koukou Host Club
Death Parade
Shadows House
PERFECT BLUE- any Ghibli film tbh especially for that SOL feel
i strongly second monster as a recommendation ; the writing and the expressions felt more like a psychological live action series i would watch on netflix than an anime, to me. (but the length can be offputing, i guess)
Hajime no Ippo THE FIGHTING
^ i feel like it's easy to watch for anyone, and anime sports are quite captivating.JUNK HEAD
^ cause it doesn't feel like a japanese anime at all and it's unique enough that it can speak about anime range. (+ nobody would recommend it since nobody has seen it, which can help seduce people who are not seduced by the usual tropes in japanese animation)LUPIN ZERO
^ lupin zero, as an introduction to a big (gigantic) anime series that never stopped to be popular in japan ; but also because it's short, and it's kind cartoony in some of the scenes so i feel like someone that likes cartoons but doesn't like japanese animation could enjoy it. also it's very recent but the art looks like old anime which makes it charming.Here you go brother, here's your bangers and mash
Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
Neon Genesis Evangelion
FLIP FLAPPERS
Claymore
Elfen Lied
Gantz
KADO The Right Answer
DARLING in the FRANXXIgnore the prior 5 seasons
My Hero Academia Season 6
this no doubt, its stylistically similar to western animation and its just perfect in every way.
