>watch western show >its just boring cliche, mindless action and meaningless twists for the sake of it
>watch jap toons >thematic, deep, it makes you question yourself and the world around you, original works of art and well written Why can't the west do ANYTHING good even when they have such a huge buget?
Start with DBZ so you can befriend any Latin American you meet

Death Note is a shitty anime for people that don't like anime that completly falls apart in the second half

Most anime is pretty shit though. When you aren't subjected to a lot of it, the writing and themes will seem fresh and original, but most of it really isn't; it's just a new perspective to you. What are you in to usually? I find Watanabe's stuff to be really easy for people to get in to due to its Western influence, and the dub quality is typically solid. So maybe start with Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo or Kid's on the Slope. Neon Genesis is okay but I think if you're over a certain age as a first time viewer it's a bit lacklustr e
movies are simply a garbage medium made to sell tickets through marketing hype and social pressure
of course they could remake a long TV series but the anime already exists so why bother
Michael Gomez
Watch Mad Men you fucking pleb
Gabriel Brooks
It makes the NEETlife bearable
Josiah Bell
depends on what type of anime you like. I would read up on the genres like adventure, seinen, isekai and so on to figure out what your type is. Then you watch the most popular anime out of that category. Most popular is mostly the most normie/entry level stuff. Or you simply choose a random/popular anime and see how it goes.
is this bait? you do realize you are on a anime website
Logan Allen
Better than anything the West has produced in the last 50 years desu

Yea Forums threads are done outside Yea Forums because they just only talk about BnHA, SnK generals, waifu flavor of the months or manga who nobody cares. They also make back retarde shonen genenrals as Boruto and Dragon Ball Super, when Yea Forums had always hated shonen shits. Current Yea Forums should be purged and /ag/ - Anime General board should be made to make a cleaning to bring back regular discussion.
I love japanese humor, japanese acting and japanese plot. anime is all of this rolled into one.

Carson Perry
the only anime I've enjoyed aside from stuff as a kid is welcome to the nhk
that is a legitimate work of art
Justin Gomez
you can't fight it man there all younger you don't like the same shows as them such is life I'm just glad I can talk about AoT I wish poeple talked about Evil Tanya though
Jacob Garcia
Daily reminder the only acceptable anime is Shonen and Jojo
Yea Forums threads are done outaide of Yea Forums because anime is Yea Forums culture, wether you like it or not.
Evan Robinson
Yea Forums is too slow to warrant a generals only board. It's funny it's even slower than Yea Forums these days. I tried to tell them to not allow the cancer of generals on that board and they didn't listen. Many other anons did too. Even Yea Forums is smart enough to keep generals to a minimum and they get deleted when the show is off air, for the most part. Now Yea Forums board has shrunk, many anons moved on and the only ones left just talk about shonen shit in generals. They basically became what they hated the most. People go on Yea Forums and spend the entire day in literally one thread. Not to mention the absolute shit tier jannies that deletes any and everything.
Luis Gomez
I miss the old days so much, it's because anime became a trend for zoomers all ended like this? This is why hobbies should be sheltered in small communities. Massification was a mistake.
Yea Forums has literally always been shit, but even then the current state of it is terrible. Really no better than the cute girls doing shit phase they were in though.
Benjamin Butler
zoomers have it to easy with crunchyroll and shit giving them direct access to endless catalogue of basic shounen garbage
Start with death note, full metal alchemist, attack on titan, berserk(1999), HunterxHunter). These are all good and not too long. What ever you do DO NOT get memed into watching evangelion.
Death note is unironically extremely boring and overrated
Michael Turner
You’re dumb.
Henry Brown
Metal Gear Solid 3
James Mitchell
Not completely apart. Besides death note is too tier but 90% is the same pedo fantasy, falling on the girls tits, embarrassing weeb shit. It's incredibly childish and not deep at all to anyone over 16.
Grayson Stewart
I hope this is a bait thread because the full run of Death Note isn't any of the descriptors you mentoned. It's a show made for children.
William Gonzalez
>What ever you do DO NOT get memed into watching evangelion. why not?
Josiah Bell
watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood first.
Levi Campbell
>Most anime is pretty shit though. well yeah, but that goes for western media too.
Oliver Sanchez
evangelion is better than most of the shows you listed, especially death note.
Isaiah Reyes
death note attack on titan fate zero steins gate code geass high school of the dead
>death note >fate zero >code geass >high school of the dead why do people keep recommending this garbage?
Jose Thompson
because their good, its just Yea Forums contrarians like you that troll hate them
Aaron Lopez
Cringe
Zachary James
I'm not Yea Forums, nor am I a contrarian. Some of my favorite anime is more popular than any of that shit.

Jeremiah Cox
it is unironically the best echii show out there, you cant tell me with a straight face the ending of episode 11 isnt pure KINO, also same directer as attack on titan and death note
Andrew Richardson
Death Note is pretty basic when it comes to delving into morality, capital punishment, and the idea of the ends justifying means. It was pretty much geared to have Light win (before editor influence), there's nothing compelling that can gleamed from Light winning because he doesnt offer a compelling reason beyond recognizing social ills based on what he sees in his surroundings. This really was written as a shonen and it shows.
William Taylor
Start with Death Note and a few classics and just end it there. There are a lot of gems but they're buried so deep under a growing mountain of shit that it's barely worth looking for them.
Samuel Adams
Watch Legend Of The Galactic Heroes and nothing else.
Jose Walker
this shit belongs on Yea Forums
Benjamin Mitchell
>it is unironically the best echii show out there Not even close. Monogatari and Kill la Kill are leagues better.
Cameron Ross
>There are a lot of gems but they're buried so deep under a growing mountain of shit that it's barely worth looking for them. You could use this logic for film too, and it's even more extreme there due to the sheer volume of films that get made compared to the relatively small number of anime.
Levi Anderson
Also lmao at unironically calling death note a "gem".
Joseph Stewart
>muh democracy the cartoon why do Yea Forums poster have not only consistently garbage taste in anime, but also insist that others arbitrarily limit themselves to the one or two anime said Yea Forums posters have ever seen?
