New to anime, where do i start?

[ReQTeCH]

i've never watched a single episode of anime, or atleast, not that i know of. the amount of shows seems a bit overwhelming. if someone could send me a couple of good ones to start watching that would be perfect.

Just like other fictional media, we have genre you know.
Perhaps you could share other fictional title that you like?
If you're more of a fan of myths, try Fate franchise.
If you're good in history, try Hetalia: Axis Powers.
If you like sports, try Captain Tsubasa (2001) or Yowamushi Pedal.

If you like robots, try Gurren Lagann.

You can try the top anime from MAL if you don't know where to start,

Exclude Gintama tho. That one is just a mess of parody, you'd only find it funny after having like 500 anime under your belt.

First of all welcome to kametsu and anime in general! You didnt mention what kind of genres you like so ill offer a few from each.

If you like:

actiion ish --> fullmetal alcehmist, darker than black

comedy ish --> the devil is a part timer, one punch man (more action but i did burst out laughing a few times)

thriller ish --> erased

shonen ish--> my hero academia (prolly in my top 3), you could try naruto but thats like 500 episodes

sports --> prince of stride

random choice --> yona of the dawn

hey it's the flowchart!

 

Use this updated one instead that I helped out on. It has more series and includes markers for people looking for dubs (some outdated information though).

My first anime experiences were 2 movies I didn't even know were anime - Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind & Princess Mononoke. I highly recommend them. If you like then check out Castle In The Sky and other movies produced by Studio Ghibli.
