I think we're going to do cowboy Bebop

My partner is still thinking on his end, but out of everything mentioned ITT that seems to be the only one that has a chance of me liking it
Honestly I think it's throwing people off because you said you don't normally like anime, but then you liked some of the most trope filled shonen out there.

So then people recommend more shonen and none of them looked interesting to you. I love recommending anime to people, but I'm not really sure what else to recommend to you

the thing with shonen is, p much everyone after yugioh is awful. the art style is really ugly and its always full of annoying fucking kids

Akiba Maid War is literally mafia shit but it's centered around maid cafes

The Case Study of Vanitas has a good story and a great artstyle so it's also easy to get into

The art style varies by which studio picks up the anime adaptation though. I love the work that Ufotable (Garden of Sinners, Fate/Stay Night, Demon Slayer) and MAPPA (Vinland Saga, AoT, JJK) do with their animations.

And yeah, you're mostly going to have young main characters with Shonen, because young boys are the main demographic for those.

So the animation style and the characters not being kids are some of what you look for? Maybe you'd like some seinen, since that are geared more towards young men. Attack on Titatn, One Punch Man, Death Note and Cowboy Bebop are all considered seinen.

But what else do you look for in the shows you enjoy?

Oh if TC likes Yakuza, then I'd also recommend The Way of the Househusband. It's about an ex Yakuza that gets married and does all of the household chores while his wife works. It's hilarious.
Too bad the animation is, well, barely fucking animated. Might as well just read the manga.

Anyway, my one true recommendation will always be Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

I see you're going with Bebop. If you end up liking it that's even more reason for me to double down on Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy as they all share a common link of being directed by Shinichir Watanabe. All shows feeled with their own very unique character. I think they do a great job standing out from your typical animes. Especially Champloo

Yeah, that kind of annoyed me at first, but it's not too bad. It was an artistic choice to "Make an animation that looks like a manga"

Actually, Death Note and AOT are shonen. Bebop is anime original.

OPM started out in shonen but moved to seinen later on.

As someone who doesn't care for anime all that much, I did like Bebop, Trigun, and Detective Conan quite a bit.

One random ass anime I watched that a friend suggested was School Rumble, about a bunch of bunch of badasses in high school being melodramatic about their love lives in high school. It was cute as shit and charming as all hell.

I never watched One Piece, but the Netflix show was fucking amazing.

Well there's a whole power fantasy genre, full of badasses who never struggle. Although you may dislike a lot of them depending on what "looks super badass" is to you

  • The Irregular at Magic High School
  • Overlord
  • Eminence in Shadow
  • Solo Leveling
  • Cautious Hero
  • Black Summoner
  • I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in The Real World, Too
  • Hellsing Ultimate
  • Noblesse
  • Black Butler (the butler is OP, not the MC)

I think Black Lagoon is the prime example of anime for people who don't like anime. It's basically an American action movie on anime form. Hell, the setting is basically an island where all of the American action movie tropes all happen at once.

It even makes more sense to watch the dub because all of the characters are actually speaking English. Otherwise you get a scene where a woman from NYC is in Japan, complaining in Japanese that she doesn't speak Japanese.
