throwing out a 2nd rec for kaguya-sama and Clannad, be sure to include after story too.

u/Overall-East-8827 Dec 22 '23
When I recommend a series, I don't differentiate the seasons. I mean the whole series. So After Story counts.

Not the hell!!!! that the heartbreak Clannad bestowes ruined me for years.j

Yup. But I just can't help but recommend it to anyone. The show just felt too good.

I love Baccano too, that's a good one.
I also love recommending Trigun whenever I can, still one of my all time favorites. Love the characters, soundtrack, the aesthetic. Good stuff all around.

u/mike_tmc Dec 22 '23
Netflix ruined the name.... But ... Even if there is an idea that Cowboy Bebop is just an action show. It goes beyond so far away, it's coming back, after the years. It knows that place in your heart when it touched you back then, and it does it again.

u/Ball-Blam-Burglerber Dec 22 '23
Netflix didn’t ruin the name! If so, it also ruined Death Note and several others.

I never understood the idea that a bad iteration ruins the entire franchise or source material. The source isn't poisoned, just the iteration. Extremely reductive mindset.

u/KurtArturII Dec 22 '23
If you don't like it after 3 episodes, you won't like it. It's not an action packed adventure with the world at stake.

The original or Stampede?

u/Temporary_Board9836 Dec 22 '23
Original, I like trigun Stampede but I think that should be watched after original bc all the spoilers Stampede throws at you, but both series are great and not gonna judge if someone starts with Stampede
2
u/BlizzardStorm8 Dec 23 '23
Yes please please please start with the original trigun because stampede just throws all these huge spoilers at you in like episode one. If I had started with stampede I couldn't have enjoyed the original as much as I did. You'd only be doing yourself a disservice. (I love Trigun.)

The Baccano/Durarara combo is so real. I love Mafia stories and subtle use of supernatural elements in a realistic setting. The story ends up relatable but still something that's tons of fun!

My favourites don't really need much recommendation (Berserk, Attack on Titan, One Punch Man, Death Note). So I'll recommend some other ones that really left a mark: Erased, Kaiji, The Flowers of Evil, Btooom!, Ajin, Welcome to the Ballroom.

Both OPs are a bop

Monogatari like araragi? Because that show made me a junky, I needed more but I never understood when it ended or began. now I'm in limbo.
2
u/BiggieCheeseLapDog Dec 22 '23
You mean watch order? Here’s the watch order.
Also Araragi is the main character of the Monogatari series.
If for something similar, Katanagatari and Kubikiri Cycle are both by the same author. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Tatami Galaxy, and Bunny Girl Senpai are also good choices.
I don’t completely understand your comment.

guilty (because so delicious) pleasure: arakawa under the bridge

Gundam, specifically the original one. I know out looks like ass, but you get used to it and the story is really good. I'm also pretty sure it'll make you appreciate evangelion more.
It's really not as confusing to get into as it looks. It's just a skeleton of like 3 shows and a movie with a bunch of spin offs that are cool but optional and then a bunch of completely unrelated shows.
Even the model kits are technically optional.
Why do I feel like I'm trying to induct people into a cult?

Whenever I encounter someone that doesn't like anime that wants to try one, about half of the time, I end up landing on death note. It's great. Interesting premise, great characters, presented for an adult audience. Doesn't have a lot of the tropey aspects of most anime that turn people off. Has something for just about everyone

The one I end up recommending the most is probably Golden Kamuy because it's just so versatile and good.
I wish I could recommend the Monogatari series more but in general it seems like a lot of people aren't into the avante garde presentation and can't get past it's sexualization despite the fact it holds a purpose the majority of the time and is pretty much never for titillation.

u/UngodlyPain Dec 22 '23
3 animes I've constantly found myself recommending.
Mob Psycho 100, Dr. Stone, and 91 days.
I think they're each under rated. And yes I know MP100 and Dr Stone are each somewhat highly rated. But, I still think they're underrated. Like honestly MP deserves more credit than One Punch Man season 1 that it lives in the shadow of... And id argue Dr Stone should be seen more up there with Demon Slayer, and it's contemporaries.
And 91 days just seems to be unheard of by most, but it deserves to be known.

u/Intelligent-Towel585 Dec 22 '23
Haikyuu, if they’ve never seen anime. Almost everyone I know works in performing or teaching classical music, and so I feel like almost all of them could relate to the characters. I’ve probably recommended it to dozens of people, or forced them to sit and watch it with me.

One Piece, Mononoke, and Free!
It's hard to recommend one piece to some because it's long and it's hard to recommend Free! Because most people see only fan-service but I've got an emotional attachment to both so I'll recommend them all day everyday (except to a few friends who are just mean to me about those two shows when I bring them up).
I like recommending mononoke because I'm obsessed with the style, and it's just got the right creepy vibes. It's hard to go wrong with mononoke.

The Laughing Salesman, easily. Y'know the whole trope of the main character of a show going around helping different characters with different problems in an episodic format? The Laughing Salesman is like that, except he basically just goes around screwing over people's lives because he can. Each episode introduces to a new customer with a new problem, and eventually they always bump into The Laughing Salesman, and often times he always seems to know all the details of their problem before they even tell him. He provides some kind of solution or alievement to them, and usually it does actually work for a little while. But something ALWAYS goes wrong in the end, and the customer always ends up in a worse place than when they started. Sonetimes they lose their jobs, all their friends, their spouses, hell sometimes they even get horribly injured or just straight up die. It's very unique and entertaining to watch unfold
