I've somehow never watched a Studio Trigger(or gainax) anime.

Should I start with any specific anime? Watch them in release order? Which aren't worth wasting time with?

don't bother

Why can't zoomers do anything without asking for help on reddit?

None of them really require you seeing any of the other ones first except for the, you know, sequels.

Between helicopter parents and social media induced FOMO, they've never had to make a decision for themselves.

Start with Gainax, skip everything by Trigger.

>Should I start with any specific anime? Watch them in release order?
Nah. Just watch what seems interesting to you. If you really want somewhere to start you could watch Evangelion since that's so influential on everything after it.

I'd start with Dead Leaves. It's pretty short and it's one of Imaishi's first works that predates both Gainax and Trigger. From there decide if you like his art style and sense of humor.

But Trigger are a cartoon studio. They don't make anime.

That's a good thing, you haven't been tainted.

All of them.

I you do decide to watch any Trigger then make sure you don’t touch this one with a 10 foot pole.

Kill la Kill will only make sense if you get the subtext

>>280803787 (OP)
There's Gunbuster, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Evangelion, His and Her Circumstances, Kill La Kill, Otaku No Video, and Daicon Opening Animations.
I wouldn't recommend anything else.

>never watched a Studio Trigger
VASED

>>280803787 (OP)
FLCL, evangelion, kill la kill, Gurren Lagann and gunbuster
are the absolute essentials, the rest is up to you really
they're all well regarded classics, don't let /a/ convince you otherwise

>>280803787 (OP)
You don't belong on /a/ if you haven't watched Evangelion. You don't have to like it, but it's such a cornerstone of anime and anime culture that not watching it will leave you as a newfag of the highest order no matter how long you've been on the board.

Most Gainax shows up until PSG are at least worth a watch, but Evangelion (and arguably TTGL/Gunbuster) are basics you really can't skip.

>>280811021
What other shows (non Gainax) would you say are absolute required viewing?

>>280805633

I somehow completely forgot that eva was gainax.

I have watched it. it's okay.

Gainax:
>Gunbuster (Its sequel, Diebuster, is good, but not necessary. It has the same director as FLCL, so if you liked that and Gunbuster, it's worth a watch.)
>Neon Genesis Evangelion + End of Evangelion (If you watch one series, make it this. Ignore the rebuilds.)
>FLCL (ignore all of the sequels)
>Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (The compilation movies add some great new scenes, but save them for after you watch the series.)
I actually haven't watch a lot of Trigger originals but Kill la Kill is a must. It's pretty much the same team that made Gurren Lagann, so you if like that, you'll (probably) like Kill la Kill. In the realm of adaptations, SSSS.Gridman and its sequels are pretty good. Dungeon Meshi is fantastic but not finished yet (most likely getting its second and final season in 2026).
Fair warning, /a/ has a schizo who absolutely hates Trigger, specifically Dungeon Meshi. He uses the phrase "dung meshit" in almost every post. He'll deny it, but everyone knows about him because he's been doing it for years now.

>>280803787 (OP)
Skip FLCL (pseudcore)

>>280803787 (OP)
Evangelion is the most influencial anime of all time. You can start with this.
TTGL is pure testosterone if you're a man you have to watch it.
Kare Kano is great a lot of people forgot it because it's a romcom
Kill la Kill is a must seen.
Little Witch Academia is great.
Cyberpunk is good too.

Not as great but you can also watch : Mahoromatic, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, luluco, inferno cop (it's funny), Cutie Honey, Abenobashi
Don't watch Darling in the Franxx

>>280803787 (OP)
You ain't an anime fan if you haven't watch the Gainax core shows. To really appreciate Gainax shows you have to have a certain appreciation animation as a whole as the stories range from poopbrain to 2deep4me. For once I'll actually allow this rec thread.

>Daicon (just 2 short Opening animation pieces and a girl you'll see referenced a lot in a lot of Gainax shows)
>Gunbuster
>Diebuster the sequel to Gunbuster
>Diebuster movie(just a recap but with added and changed scenes)
>Fushigi no Umi no Nadia/Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water(been on my backlog for decades, just haven't gotten around to it)
>Neon Genesis Evangelion
>End of Evangelion (movie that ends the tv series)
>Rebuild of Evangelion (a 4 part movies retelling of the original Eva tv series but changes by part 2 and does its own thing, watch them just to form your own opinions)
>FLCL (just to repeat the other anon "ignore all of the sequels" they were made because american tv networks threw money at it)
>Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai/MagicalShopping Arcade Abenobashi (fun comedy)
>Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann tv series
>Gurren Lagann movies(recap movies but added some really great scenes)
>Panty&Stocking season 1(too soon to tell how season 2 will turn out)

As for Trigger, just ignore them. They're like Gainax but without the heart and soul. Interesting promises but fizzes out early or halfway into the show. That's all their shows in a nutshell.

>They're like Gainax but without the heart and soul.
Actually they're nothing like old Gainax. They aren't even comparable. Just forget Trigger even exist.

>>280816014
>claims he's representing Gainax's core
>doesn't list the film that is the very reason for their existence
>thinks you're should watch Shin Eva
Gainax going from high minded art movie, to cynical otaku pandering ova, to realizing full circle they could even within the production of their otaku pandering mecha ova still strive to make something with some weight to it. That's the core of what Gainax was.

Trigger's fundamental break with Gainax has to do with their goals. The burger analogy. They don't have the same ambition Gainax had. It's an irreconcilable difference. In that same vein, Shin Evangelion is the very worthless money making enterprise that Gainax put behind themselves during Gunbuster's development. Khara is not Gainax and you should tell him to Ignore Them too.

>>280816014
>tells OP to watch the Rebuilds and ignore Trigger

>>280811021
True.
Not even just posting, but understanding references and inspiration in so many shows that came after it. Eva is was just that important.
It's like...you don't have to like it, but everyone should watch it at the very least.
It's like learning a language, but not bothering to learn a big part of the vocabulary. You might understand a bit, but you're missing out.

>>280805633
HAIRY

>>280803787 (OP)
Basically release order. Just watch Gunbuster and Diebuster first and see how you feel. You can skip Kiznaiver, but you can’t skip Inoe Battle.

>Its sequel, Diebuster, is good, but not necessary
Diebuster is absolutely necessary and so is GQuuuuuuX, because without them Gunbuster is incomplete.

>>280803787 (OP)
They all suck.

>>280803787 (OP)
Inferno Cop is short. You can finish it in less than an hour, so I recommend trying that one first.
If you like its type of humour, then you should definitely watch more of their comedies. If you don't, then you should try their releases in other genres.

>>280803787 (OP)
>Should I actually engage with my hobby and watch something I might have an interest in? Please tell me what to do so I fit in!

You retards make me sick.

>>280803787 (OP)
Gainax: Gunbuster, Nadia, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking
Trigger: Inferno Cop, Little Witch Academia, Kill la Kill, Space Patrol Luluco, Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

>>280822866
I meant "necessary" in the sense that you don't need to watch it if you're just going for Gainax classics that really impacted anime. I think it's fantastic and anyone who enjoyed Gunbuster should definitely watch it too.
>GQuuuuuuX
Haven't seen it but I sincerely doubt it.

>>280814161
>Evangelion is the most influencial anime of all time.
No, but it's probably number 10
Astroboy, Gundam, dragon ball, akira, and Inuyasha all surpass it easily.
Hell, Gundam and Akira directly influenced nge.

>>280825887
>Inuyasha
Inuyasha fans really are like Saint Seiya fans deluded on some inexistence greatness.

>>280814161
>TTGL is pure testosterone
No wonder this is one of the gayest boards.

>>280803787 (OP)
Start with whichever speaks most to you.

>>280803787 (OP)
>Gainax
Just pick at random, is all good.
>Trigger
Basically >>280803801
You can try Luluco maybe.

>>280825915
Without Inuyasha, you wouldn't have any number of sengoku and folklore anime.
Oh and i forgot lodoss war, which literally set an entire genres world building themes

>>280825887
I would disagree with akira and Inuyasha but in the end it doesn't matter who's more influencial. Astroboy is a bit old, as influential as it get it's almost unwatchable nowaday. We can also say bambi if we want to get far into the past and I wouldn't recommend all of your list to anyone.

Triggershit garbage is a waste of time.

>>280822866
True. All the original reviews were saying "Top wo Nerae is okay but unsatisfying, it's really needs a tonally inconsistent sequel and a shitty Gundam spinoff to feel complete."

>>280803787 (OP)
Trigger is pretty shitty, Gainax is fun and experimental anime, Trigger is just stealing shit from other IPs.

>>280811021
>You don't belong on /a/ if you haven't watched Evangelion.

You're a retarded, yourself.

teen shit

>>280809372
>FLCL, evangelion, kill la kill, Gurren Lagann
All of that ranges from mediocrity to outright trash. Gunbuster is quite good though, I'll give you that.

>>280814161
Counter point: Watch Darling in the FRANXX up until episode 15, then get the last volume of the manga and read that for the ending.
