Recommend me an animé? - ♂ Elektrisk ♂ - Sep 3, 2009
Hello.
I've never really 'disliked' animé, but I never really got totally into it. The only animé I've watched is Pokémon, Digimon, Card Captors, and Sailor Moon, all of which were when I was really young. I'm open to pretty much anything, except for an extremely feminine-like animés aimed at little girls =b
I've seen one episode or so of Bleach and really liked it, but I want to consider more options before beginning a whole series.
Thanks a lot.

I never watched anime in my life (except a bit of pokemon ...) till a few weeks ago ... I started watching Naruto just for curiosity and i loved it!! I'm addicted to Naruto now ^^ You should try it!
- Ŀucien Lachance - Sep 3, 2009
Cowboy Bebop.
that's where I started(many years ago)
- Beta - Sep 3, 2009
Cowboy Bebop is a good start. I recommend
Afro Samaurai <3
Youll thank me l8

Trigun also, and for really funny ones trying Cromartie Highschool or Dokuro-chan. Ooh and Samurai Champloo is excellent.

Cowboy bebop
Trigun
Samurai Champloo...maybe you should tell us what kind of genres u like to watch things in and we can suggest some
- Rainclouds - Sep 3, 2009
watch dbz or trigun or be a bleach /naruto whore :D

Dont watch Naruto, Dragonball Z, Bleach, or One Piece as your first anime, they have hundreds upon hundreds of episodes and the people who watch them arent really fans of anime, more just fans of those single shows. Watch a normal anime season with like 13 episodes, or 26 episodes since then you can actually finish an anime and know if you want to continue from there. And theres not as many fillers which you might get bored of like in more common anime on cartoon network.

Thanks all for your help :)

When you get going though a few good beginning ones are The Getbackers, yu yu hakusho, and fullmetal alchemist

This. If you actually get involved with these make sure its the manga of them at least. But I highly suggest cowboy bebop. Great show, good soundtrack, nicely animated and only 26 episdoes.

I am dissapointed no one else suggested Afro Samaurai.

Also avoid watching these comedy flicks as you won't get the Otaku gags:
Lucky Star
Azumanga Daioh
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Zaku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
PLEASE AVOID WATCHING THESE ANIME if you are new:
Dragonball Z
Dragonball GT
Bleach
Naruto
One Piece
they may have good ratings but they are mostly overrated and long, too long that you'll grow bored, if you want to start with these I recommend getting/reading the Manga/Comic book version...
Have a nice day... 🤝

Oi, you r 2pro black sun.
But, srsly? DBZ + GT I found enjoyable. I think it would be a good anime to people new to it. I started watching that + Cowboy Bebop.
Also, Afro Samaurai is crazy, and I loved the resurrection movie.
