new to anime
 
Hiya so I want to start watching anime but I have no idea what to begin with so any suggestions? Oh and nothing inappropriate.

The typical Sword art online? You might like it.

Keeluah 04-17-2014 04:38 AM

Yeah Sword Art Online is the most typical starter anime. Especially since you haven't seen enough anime to totally pick out the flaws in the otherwise good series. Attack on Titan is another good anime, but it kinda makes your standard higher up for other series.

The two above is good to get into anime in general, but if you want to try some romance, ToraDora is usually the most popular as a gateway. You will have to get into Romance since it's the most used genre in anime.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. I wouldn't say it's inappropriate but there is a female character who wears short shorts and a bikini top as an outfit almost the entire time lol... but other than that the show is friendly and 10/10 would recommend as a starter anime.

Hadi 04-17-2014 04:42 AM

Also Soul Eater is a pretty neat one. It's funny at times and I think you would really like it! Would be an awesome starter anime.

Black Butler is a good one to start with. You might also like Persona 4 The Animation.

I've seen an episode or two of black butler and I'd watch it again

I just started watching toradora and its a pretty good anime to me (but what do I know it could be the crappiest anime of all)

Japanese cartoon fandom is the dumbest load of horse cap I've ever seen. Everybody has their own opinions and flavors for shows but noo if u watch the wrong Anime god forbid ur gonna get flamed for being an idiot cuz u prefer 1 cartoon over whatever the other one likes. Plus it seems that the more popular/ "BETTER" animes are the ones with girls wearing short shorts and unbuttoned shirts and people constantly trip fall and bump into one another and make repetitive noises for like 10 minutes cuz just saying "ugh" and shaking eyes once isn't enough. But no, if u say what I just said then ur gonna get flaming and told that they dont watch hentei which they probably don't but all the "better" animes are the same dam thing without characters actually taking off clothes.
Long story short, Japanese cartoons are trash, font ask for recommendations. Watch whatever you want and like.
Basically all animes the majority seems to like is like mild hentei.

Ps. I don't like anime. Never watched eny. Except pokemon.

Not all anime series are about Fan Service. There are quite a bit of Mature (No School girls with panty flash etc.) series like Attack on Titan, Fate Zero, Psycho-Pass and more. You don't have to watch all anime if you can't stand those types of fanservice, just ask some anime fans for some good mature series.

Plus I prefer Anime over Cartoon because most Cartoons are just episodic comedy filled series. Don't get me wrong, I laugh to quite a few of their jokes, but that's basically all that Cartoons have. There are anime that are like that, but there is also anime with a good storyline and amazing characters that just brings you to awe.

Mangsi 04-17-2014 05:33 PM

I only asked for recommendations because I've never watched anime before and I want to know some that graalians watch

Only one I have watched is the final fantasy movie. Apparently any anime fan kid at school thought I was the biggest ****** ever for watching it. And of course they were kind enough, like every other cartoon fanboy, to give me me no reason or evidence what so ever to why it was so bad. I liked it, I fast forwarded the boring parts, it was alright.

Oh no. Anime and Japanese cartoons are the same thing. And if mature means mild hentei then it's even more ******ed. Should be like immature cuz if ud be mature then ur go on red tube or whatever floats ur boat.

Thing that annoys me is when anime fans recommend animes that gives them a rise in their pants and not cuz it actually has anything interesting like plot twists or whatever.

You seem to have got me wrong. A "Mature" Series in the anime world has nothing of the sort close to a mild hentai, there is no half naked scenes and panty and bras showing. The people your asking for anime recommendations have horrible taste, or they are more likely joking to get you to watch some big fanserviced anime.

A good anime too watch is Attack on Titan. No school girls, no one if half naked. An intresting Plot, great plot twist, interesting characters and just incredible action scenes.

If you don't want any anime that's like Mild hentai, just check the genre and make sure it doesn't have Ecchi tagged.

And that is the problem.

Anime has a lot of negative stereotypes, but if you actually watch some quality stuff, then you'll realize that it is far better than the detractors would have you believe.

There is some awful stuff in any media, anime is no exception, but they do not define the medium.

You see people this is why anime at the moment will never crack the western market, too many people think anime is just hentai and tentacles. And besides the fact that the only anime you have watched is pokemon, on what does that give you any crediablity to voice your opinion?

Lol.

Might as well watch Cartoon Network.

But anyways, give Attack on Titan a try.

It's not super gory compared to some other series I've seen. (Hellsing Ultimate, Another, etc.)
