I tried watching Yu Yu Hakusho on Hulu because that's one of the few animes I remember liking growing up.
Holy crap, that show aged like milk. Nostalgia can be bitch sometimes. I'm not sure why I'm in an anime mood, but what animes do you show people when you're trying to get them into it? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Cowboy Bebop and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I actually like anime and those are still my favorite shows of all time. Btw I'm recommending the 1980s-90s OVA series for LotGH, I still haven't watched the new anime yet.

You're objectively wrong with your bumass Yu Yu Hakusho take but I agree with Death Note. That's about as casual as it gets for anime with a good story.

Don't force yourself if you don't like it, but your classic Miyazaki stuff would probably be the best place to start. Otherwise pick a Shonen du jour and see if it suits your taste.

I especially love the dubs for the first two Parts because it had goofy accents. Like Johnny Yong Bosch trying to sound British sometimes, and Bryce Papenbrook trying to sound Italian. It's the most goofy sounding shit ever and it really embodies how camp this series is. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

At this point it feels like if you want good advice you could start with saying what you've seen and what you thought about it. Seems like you've watched a fair bit? But I second Detroit Metal City, it's very funny.

My hero academia is easy to get into if my sister-in-law is anything to go by. Its based on superheros, which is still the in-thing movie-wise so if they like that stuff, they can probably get into the my hero academia dub.

I want to reiterate my recommendation of Legend of the Galactic Heroes because it really is that good of a show. One of the my favorite scenes in all of anime is the two lead characters meeting face-to-face for the first time and spending the whole scene civilly discussing the merits of their opposing ideologies. And really it's worth watching just for some of Yang's antics, like arguing that humans have been drinking alcohol for thousands of years, which makes alcohol a friend, and he can't abandon a friend; or giving this really half-assed speech about only being able to drink good tea while still alive, and using that to rally his comrades because he's bad at giving speeches and he has to say something just so he can get out of that situation as quickly as possible. It's a sometimes really amusing and often thought-provoking show, and it's well worth powering through all 110 episodes of it.

He kind of broke it down to me ina way I can only remember it as each season being their own contained story while still maintaing an overall narrative for the series as a whoke. I forgot which season, or arc or whatever it's called here, we started with, but it definitely wasn't the first one. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I absolutely despise anime and cant get behind anything weeb whatsoever, only the stuff I have nostalgia with like DBZ/Naruto.
That being said, I took a leap and saw the first season of One Punch Man, and I really liked it. So I recommend that one. Its almost kind of a parody of anime in a sense, so I really liked that aspect about it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Naruto and DBZ, on the other hand, are actual garbage. Naruto was at least somewhat okay when it first started, then it got stupid after a bit. DBZ was/is bad from beginning to end. --- ...

The first anime TV show that clicked for me was Samurai Champloo. The second was Berserk (1997). Not many other than those 2 have I really loved or even been able to get into.
As for movies, as others have recommended, all the Ghibli films and especially Princess Mononoke. --- "If you wanna grow your business you need to exploit more." ~Austin_Era_II "Out of those two? Racist for me... easily." ~Vicious_Dios ... Copied to Clipboard!

So it was interesting to go back and get that nostalgia feel checking them out, but I definitely could not stand watching more than 2-3 episodes. They are filled to the brim with all the anime tropes/mannerisms/qualities that make me hate anime in the first place. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gurren LagganHell nah. I saw one episode of this show that solidified me not liking it. First of all, it was one of those obligatory beach episodes. In it a girl -- who looks to be a young woman. I don't know how old she is. Anime would literally draw a college student but say they're 14, so I don't know. She looks like a young woman. Anyway -- she's on the beach competing with what looks like a 10 year-old girl for the attention of a bunch of guys and she's losing. Shit was so dumb. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
