Sorry, but I just find it very immature that people go on an anime topic just to state how much they hate anime and support others who hate it.

Lighty i know your passionate about anime but fucking hell your going a wee bit ott (over the top) are you not

Aaaaand second giant post! Here, have a good anime, Here, have a bad anime. Lots and lots of anime (disclaimer: only 5 in this new post).

Since people seem to enjoy my sacred tactic of learning people into anime by "writing a huge-ass post, have everyone who barely read it appreciate my work, my blood and my tears, and thus take control over all the anime-watchers in the thread". It worked.

This time around, I decided to go for the more intellectual shows. Actually, I would argue that 3 of the shows I listed before are quite intellectual, but I digress. There are some action shows in this, even if they aren't labeled as such, but this is more of a battle of the minds than with fists. Because that just gets boring after a while.

Since I wasn't clear enough with what I meant with "Don't watch anime like <em>so, so and so</em>", here's a small list of well-known anime that get all the high scores, despite it being shit. Just like movies directed by Michael Bay. Basically, people praise them as masterpieces because they a) haven't watched a lot of anime and really liked said anime (completely ignoring all the bad things about it, like a million and one plotholes), or b) simply like anything as long as it has decent animation, gore, violence, tits and a decent soundtrack. Surprisingly, most fall under the latter reason.


Ofcourse, there are many more, but if you want full confirmation on whether or not a show is one of those, you can always look up a couple of reviews or ask me.

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya

Keep in mind that Shoujo Ai means that there are Lesbian undertones in this anime. You can watch the first season just fine, but second season is when this starts kicking in. You've been warned, even though this anime is pretty amazing regardless of it being there.

I wouldnt recommend the monogatari series for beginners

Even tho they might be not good at all but these animes as sao and mirai nikki should be perfect to begin with.
I got alot of friends to start watching anime by letting them watch those.

I'd personally recommend

• Psycho Pass season 1
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
• maybe Death Note ?

Keep in mind, I'm suggesting these to start with.
