nuclearwar Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Normally I convince people to watch anime by talking about anime I've watched. I really get into describing it so that people get a feel for what I'm talking about. Like, I'll talk about a specific scene and the things that happen in it, and maybe that segues into a conversation about what the anime is about it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A lot of people don't really like to give anime a chance for some reason, so you have to put a lot of effort in if you want to convince someone to watch. But once they watch at least one anime, that usually is enough to hook them. Then you can recommend at will and they'll watch practically anything. At least that's what I've found in my experience.

SenshiKeizu Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 You have to make sure they like cartoons, if they don't you're just wasting your time convincing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Hard to say, but you can't show them a series that the western has a habit of using as a stereotype of anime, that's for sure. I usually show them what I'm watching and I explain to them why, from there, it's up to them if they want to check anime out.

highland3r Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I just tell people why I love anime. It's because it's about love, family, friends, morals etc. I do not try convince anyone to watch it though.I'm surrised how there in most things I watch seems to be a real message behind the entertainment. I have not seen one yet that doesnot have a meaningful message behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Question Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Personally, if they're completely green to the anime world, I don't volunteer to be their inductor. If they're interested, I try to see what they know and if they're any anime that they're curious about, so that if they a have bad first experience, it was more of their own idea than my own. So far, if they haven't had any idea where to start, I've pointed them towards Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It hasn't failed yet.

Reijin Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 This might not work all the time, But... I would go to a mall. Find a food court Site down, with my laptop on the desk. Turn on what ever current anime is going on at the time. (mostly perverted ones [bonus]) Watch it and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverie Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Recently I get people into Miyazaki films, since often times it's a little like Disney movies. Then they are opened up to a whole new world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afternoon Nap Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Any form of convincing is useless if they don't have the coolness to watch anime. Cool kids watch anime. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanco Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I describe it like a middle age white woman would describe her soaps so it sounds interesting just with words coming out of my mouth. Then I improvise words while letting them know what I know about x-anime. I guess it would be kinda like being excited and the excitement is so exciting so every one else around you is pumped but you're not really saying much. A good third of the time I just pick a topic point of the anime and go "Oh! This and this! Oh! Let me tell you about this! Oh! I can't! Oh! You have to watch it! Oh! And that thing I just said! Oh! I can't tell you! OhHHHhhHhHHh!~ It's soooo good, I think it's on Youtube, you want me to check? OH!~ We'll watch it off the PS3!! OHHHH!OHHOHOHOH! Wanna smoke a blut while we watch it?! OH~ OH!" After watching like five minutes we'll ether keep watching or end up watching some thing that the other person wants to watch because I feel embarrassed.
