Cool, I'll look into it. I actually saw Akira years ago and liked it, but I can count on one hand how many others like it I've watched.

Wife is getting into it more, shes watching something called Demon Hunter, so I figured I may as well explore it a bit if she's getting into it.

Demon Hunter is cool but it is peak anime. Like all the cliches, it has all of them.

There's a genre of anime called "shonen" (which technically is more of an age/gender group than a genre, but anyway) - and that is what most people think of when they're talking about anime. Things like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Demon Hunter, etc. Cool teenagers defeating monsters with their chosen one abilities, the power of friendship, etc. It's usually some self-insert fantasy story.

You might like the seinen category, which tends to be a bit more mature in its themes. Monster is a great example of this.

Still a lot of cliches in that genre though.
