In a popular forum of Reddita user opened a quite interesting debate that soon attracted the attention of the participants: «What anime would you recommend to someone who does not enjoy anime much?». The user in question explained that it is not that you detest the anime, but that he does not like the common tone and style in the most popular anime, but that he enjoys experimental and out of the common aspects.
This single request unleashed a lot of user responses who shared their ideas about what anime could be suitable for someone with those interests. Instead of focusing on recommending popular series, many discussed the narrative elements that could attract someone with a taste much further from the average in this industry. Important elements such as a good story and well developed characters are not things that are usually found in short -term series, especially now that most only reach twelve or thirteen episodes.
One of the ideas that came the most was that the anime industry has many series that go far beyond the visual and the superficial. Although the latter is what currently predominates and serves to keep most of the spectators entertaining, it can also become a stereotype that moves another sector of potential fans away.
Precisely because of this, it seems a bad idea to recommend the most popular anime to someone who is just beginning in these hobbies or who is little interestedbut it is better to resort to options outside the mainstream that can be equally exciting, deep and entertaining.
- «Vinland Saga is an excellent anime for beginners».
- «Monster».
- «Friean».
- «My friend hates anime, but he really liked Spy X Family Because he likes beautiful things».
- «Avatar: The Last Airbender… Before they “throw me” for not being an anime, let me explain it … it's not technically an anime. Art style and characters are similar to anime. But it does not have the typical topics of the anime. There are no dramatic transformations that take entire episodes, we do not see the reaction of all the characters before a fight, the female characters are well written and the secondary characters fulfill important roles. I describe Avatar as an “Americanized anime”».
- «Proof Death Note, Monster, Attack on Titan, Hellsing Ultimate, Parasyte, Vinland Saga either The Great pretend. All have different “vibes”, but they are great for those who hate anime, in my opinion, they are only good shows in general».
- «Here are some good: Death Note, Code Geass or maybe Black Lagoon. They are usually the ones that least resemble the average anime».
- «I was in your situation just a year ago, I ran into chance with an animated Show in IMDB that sounded really good, so I tried it. I ended up obsessed with him and only then discovered that it was “anime”, and then I had to learn what the anime was. Now I have become obsessed with the format in general. The show was: Frieren Beyond Journey's End».
- «Ghibli movies, probably starting with Spirited Away either Princess Mononoke».
- «I think anime films are an excellent gateway in general to anime series».
- «How are you Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo? Monte Christ It is a classic novel and the anime adaptation of this is an interesting vision while maintaining the feeling of classical literature».
- «To your eternal. People who hate anime love».
- «The arch of the chimera ants of Hunter X Hunter It will leave you breathless if you like writing. It has many “anime topics”, but for me the arches and the development of the characters make it worth it. It is also the best anime to see when you are well relaxed».
- «Edition: also Attack on Titanif you haven't seen it yet, it's really good. Personally I didn't like the final half, but many people enjoyed it. Super detailed plot».
- «In fact, I made my parents read and then look Death Note. My dad also liked The Big o».
- «Sometimes, when people are new in anime, I recommend not so much a series, but rather a good movie, easier to digest and do not take away so much time if it is not yours. I would recommend anything from Ghibli, as Howl's Moving Castle, Secret World of Arrietty, Spirited Awayand something more conceptual like Jin Roh (A solid interpretation of Red Riding Hood)».
- «Monster It could be the most realistic anime I have seen, I sincerely surprise me that they have not yet made an adaptation in Live Action».
- «I think that many people are recommending things that will probably only move you away from the middle, based on what you mention in your publication. Death Note, Code Geass And things like that are definitely full of clichés and topics that you probably don't like if you are already familiar with anime. Aot I could see it as something you could appreciate around season 3 or 4, since it has a much more intricate narrative and world than it seems at the beginning, but it would still be a risky commitment, so I would leave it out».
- «So I am one of those elitist fans of the anime that hates 90% of all anime for the same reasons of “Vibe”».
- «I recommend watching any movie Satoshi Kon. Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, Paprika. I recommend them a lot, they are absolutely excellent for an experimental and interesting narrative and with good direction».
- «The series are much more difficult to think. SERIAL EXPERIMENTS LAIN, Paranoia agent, Monster. These are some of the most “non-anime” anime that you can see».
- «When the specification is “anime recommendation for someone who is generally not an anime fan”, One Piece It is a lousy suggestion. Not only is it incredibly long, it is also not a show that catches you immediately. I am not saying that it is bad, but it is not something that I would recommend to someone who wants to try something different. You need to be quite invested to see such a long show».
- «My brother, who doesn't like anime, enjoys The Fable».
- «Black Butler It was the first thing that came to mind when reading your publication. I receive hate, but I really enjoyed it».
- «I am not an anime fan either, but I think Odd Taxi It was a really original detective story, in the style of Tarantino».
- «My favorite anime: Samurai Champloo, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood».
