>>212064090 (OP)
Anime for /tv/ and anime for /a/ are two entirely different standards. For example, whilst the average /tv/ lurker might enjoy the fanservice in Black Lagoon, half of /a/ and online anime fans in general are perverted freaks that watch ecchi unironically. It wouldn't be so bad if they were honest about it but they're not, if their show about horny cartoon teenagers even remotely has a superficial plot about politics they'll claim it's a political thriller and a masterpiece, even if the plot is retarded to anyone above the age of 13.
>Code Geass
So when you mean kino, don't include the shit you don't even need rule 34 to nut to, or those tryhard wannabe elitist shows that are braindead like NGE or Lain. Recommend something that would pass /tv/ standards even if it wasn't a Japanese cartoon, something that normies can enjoy without being creeped out like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad.
Undeniable hits include
>Attack On Titan
>Death Note
>Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
>Pluto
>Berserk 1997
>Monster
>Vinland Saga
>Perfect Blue
>Sword of the Stranger
Now once someone has watched the above you can recommend stuff that isn't undeniably kino due to flaws in the writing or the anime not being as spectacular due to modern advancements but still enjoyable like
>Cowboy Bebop
>Black Lagoon
>Perfect Blue
>Parasyte
>Erased
>Terror in Resonance
>Steins; Gate
>The Great Pretender
>Psycho Pass
>Akira
>Paprika
>Paranoia Agent
>Samurai Champloo
>Odd Taxi
But eventually there comes a point when you're no longer a casual, you've watched the above and you're looking for that high again. Unfortunately, they're a needle in a haystack for the rest of your time watching anime. Sometimes you'll come across them but you'll never be able to discuss them since no anime fan has watched them like
>Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet
>ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept
>Baccano
No, the rest of your time will be watching shows like Frieren and never understanding the hype.

I watched the 1995 film and it didn't really hit for me thematically. A lot of Japanese sci-fi just doesn't resonate with me, I'm not exactly sure why. It reminds me of Akira, I can appreciate the influence it had on the genre and understand the appeal it had at the time but I just don't feel anything with it. I do understand the themes, they're interesting things to discuss and read about but something is missing. I'm watching the TV series now and it's initially pretty episodic. Maybe the story having more time to unravel will help. I didn't particularly care about any of the characters.
You'll probably shit on me and say I'm too low IQ to get it, that I don't understand Descartes, the symbolism of the damage caused to the tree of life in the third act, or get that the existential dilemma that there might be no soul. I do. I just never felt anything watching it.

>>212076528
Since it's no longer available on any streaming service, normies don't have any access to it and at least for zoomers like myself, it's fucking rare to find someone irl that has watched it. I've met more people that have watched Legends of the Galactic Heroes than Baccano, both of which have major flaws. LOGH with the Phezzan plothole and Baccano with the silly fight scene musical towards the end. LOGH's politics is honestly midwit tier but the aesthetics were on the ball so I can let it slide. Baccano does also have some annoying characters but the ensemble diluted those annoyances to tolerable levels. They both are still the best of their respective genres but the room for improvement gives me some degree of hope that someone will eventually create a piece of work that will persist in the cultural zeitgeist and not be excluded to niche message boards. That reminds me, there was a Lord of the Flies inspired anime set in space, Infinite Ryvius, while not having an original premise started off great but failed narratively. To no one's surprise, it's been mentioned 5 times in the last 3 years on this board.
A lot of shows just fade away from public discourse for various reasons, sadly Baccano has too.

>>212077508
Are any of them bad? Am I wrong that most animes beyond that list are mid at best? At least based off the suggestions I've received from irls, anons online and anime lists, I've had a really shitty experience. Shonenslop like JJK just has horrible writing, OPM, HXH, MHA, etc were all dropped a few episodes in because I didn't even bother investing in stuff that childish. Similarly, stuff like Summertime Rendering with decent premises jump the shark so fucking hard with silly shonen-esque big bad boss villains that you just can't watch it.
Maybe they'd have hit if I was a teen but I'm past that now so characters like Deku are too annoying to bear for longer than an hour. Btw if your anime needs dozens of episodes before it gets good, it's bad. It's as ridiculous as fantasy /lit/ fans that promise that the story gets good by book 3.
There's a lot of animes that can be described as "Meh". You can watch them but it feels like mindless content. Eden of the East is a good example.
Others like Darker than Black are just...I'm not even sure how to describe it beyond exhausting for anyone that is trying to feel immersed in the world. Not due to information overload but the ommision of necessary details whilst simultaneously flooding you with exposition you couldn't care less about. They're good first drafts, a lot of anime feels that way, it's a symptom downstream of the issues of the weekly release structure manga has.
Its not the worst issue from the industry, the business model of trying anything and milking the few successes for decade long runs leads to bloated stories like Bleach and One Piece that could honestly have been told in a fraction of the time if they were released in larger chunks.

Am I a newfag for not liking Trigun, it would be a really nice weekly anime to watch back in the day but it's not for me since I prefer serialised storytelling. Do I not count as a real anime fan until I invest in Gundam or some other series you grew up on and enjoy?
At the end of the day, who gives a shit, judge the merits of my arguments. Am I wrong?
>>212078806
Wheel of Time according to my friends. The excuse that the genre requires some time before you are truly interested is cope. GRRM managed to do it in the prologue of Game of Thrones. Diehard genrefags of various degrees have blinders, the amount of anime fans that said I have to watch hours worth of HXH or MHA before considering dropping it is ridiculous.

All parts contribute to the whole. Wanting a Planetes that is exclusively hard scifi political intrigue with nothing else is like wanting a Thin Red Line that's 2 hours of the battle and Woody Harrelson blowing his ass off. Surely you must recognize that tonal contrast and character development makes for a better total experience.

You being oblivious to this is hilarious, you either don't interact with normies at all or your social circle is so atypical that your perception of normies is warped.
The other two recommendations are probably good according to /a/ standards, this is /tv/ so the pedobait stuff isn't going to resonate with the average person.
>>212079540
>stuff that isn't undeniably kino due to flaws in the writing or the anime not being as spectacular due to modern advancements but still enjoyable like
What about this is difficult to understand? Did you skim read it or are you referring to the first batch? If so please elaborate. Even they aren't perfect. AOT dropped in quality in later seasons, Death Note part 2 was horribly adapted, Vinland Saga is a work in progress, and FMAB although the superior adaptation did have a few weaker arcs than the earlier adaptation such as the Nina Tucker episodes. They're still close to peak by /tv/ standards. If you're going to name some 80s series you'll just come off like those pretentious cinephiles that tell you random black and white films are peak. Don't tell us about horribly paced expansive IPs with varying timelines and adaptations that take 10 days 24 hr non stop runtime to complete. Even if you truly believe they're superior, pound for pound, they're not worth the investment until you've watched the comparatively short shows that I listed.
Does anyone have an issue with Sword of the Stranger? It's probably THE most accessible action heavy samurai anime film for an English speaking audience. My list is for people that have never watched anime.

I am. What I especially take issue with is the two major criteria you set forth of being kino as
>meeting /tv/ standards
>not creeping out normalfags
Despite both of the aforementioned groups having, on average, the worst taste imaginable. The 2nd part I take issue with is that your first batch doesn't even meet the general criteria of what you put forth. AoT and especially FMA:B are complete weebshit in their content and the only normalfags that could stomach it are younger generations already predisposed to nerd content. Someone who has never watched anime should start out on the cliche answer of a Ghibli film, not an edgy shonen of teenagers that do nothing but scream and watch their superpowered friend have a brawl with down-syndrome zombies.

That's where I'm at, unfortunately. I've seen all of the anime that people consider "great"... But now I feel like I've seen all that anime has to offer, even though I've only watched maybe 15 shows to their entirety. I've heard of probably hundreds of anime that I have zero interest in because 90% of it is shitty, trend chasing flavor of the month bullshit. I do not care for your isekais or your shonenshit. I do not care for your slice of life or your mecha. I can't even ask for recommendations either because I know it's either going to be something I've already watched or heard of and discarded. It's really disappointing, I feel that anime has a lot of potential, but it's wasted on making a quick buck and creating bottom feeder content.

Those points are fair if you're suggesting anime to anyone born before the 90s. However, if you're talking about someone who's touched grass and been engaged with popular culture hits of the last decade or two, AOT is not too much for them to stomach. Game of Thrones showed several kills and the attempted murder of a child in the first episode. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul had some gruesome scenes. Snowfall, The Wire, True Detective, Dexter, etc are all R Rated and really popular. Unless you're suggesting anime to a Mennonite, the stuff AOT shows is honestly normal.
What normies are not accustomed to is pedo bait and creepshots. The kind of nudity Code Geass has was enough to make people feel visibly repulsed if brought up in conversation. How do you think they'll react to shotta stuff, even the blandest pantieshot, upskirt or accidental boob grab is too much, and although they're fine with adult incest, the sort of creepy underage stuff animes include is far from ever being normalised.
Anyone under the age of 40 will have no issue watching AOT, the range of ages for the initial recommendation is decent. If I listed a bunch that fit the clique of being set in a high school, it might have scared a bunch off or given the impression that anime is for edgy teens.

do people still like Monster on here?

>>212080483
It's by the same creator as Planetes which everyone ITT is jerking off, so maybe.

>>212084454
>or heard of and discarded

>>212084957
No. It's shit. Only "people" who are afraid of being seen as weird for liking anime say they like Monster because it's seemingly grounded.

>>212084827
I like it better than Zero. Zero is a mess structurally and its characters aren't likable.

>>212081439
Endless trauma dump: the anime. First Subaru, then everyone else. It's a show based on flashbacks showing the horrible things the characters have done or experienced with minimal plot progression.

I'd compare it to Lost, but it's fantasy characters instead of real people.
>same focus on flashbacks and very flawed people
>same overarching sense of mystery

>>212084913
You are delusional to equate quasi-grounded western shows like (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Snowfall, The Wire, True Detective, Dexter) with the equivalent of a superhero show. AoT being "gruesome" was never a factor in why it would turn people away.

>>212064090 (OP)
I tried getting into this because the snail girls is hot but there was too much dialogue and I'm autistic about reading it all so it was simply too much to bear.

>>212084454
Yep. Shonen slop is very boring to watch as an adult, even the ones that aren't clique battle shonens like Dororo are so weird and annoying that I dropped them a few episodes in. I can handle weird fine, Redline was a decent anime movie for the animation alone but these things are creepy weird in ways the average /a/ poster can't comprehend. I tried sports anime with Ping Pong and stopped w once they started using fucking dragon power animations to exaggerate the games. I dipped my toes in isekai and was fucking annoyed.

I'd try out some of the movies before you quit anime. Outside the obvious ones you might enjoy Patlabor 2 but even praised ones like Jin Roh and Ghost in the Shell are meh. There are a lot of half decent mid ones that I've watched like Genocidal Organ but that's about it. They're okay watches. It'd be easier to find good anime if retards didn't inflate the ratings, I still can't believe Frieren is 9+/10
>>212085414
AOT is relatively grounded. The complaints I heard were mostly that it turned away from a show about killing titans to a political drama, something westerners would enjoy even more explaining its higher popularity in the west. We can argue hypotheticals, but western audiences are incredibly receptive to AOT to a degree that you suggesting otherwise is honestly laughable. We aren't even talking about kids here, I'm well aware that shonen fits much better with the 9-16 age range which is why Bleach and Naruto are favourites for anyone who's been introduced to anime at that age.
This is the equivalent of saying morally grey leads are not great for TV. Sopranos and the shows that followed proved otherwise, we don't need hypotheticals anymore.

Relatively grounded compared to all media as a whole? Fuck no it isn't; caricatures of teenage soldiers that act swing around on steam-engine webslingers to kill giant zombies with their biggest hope being a guy that can turn into a special giant zombie (with their biggest foes being people that can do the same) is about as fantastical as you can get (and that's not even getting into the future sight shenanigans)

You can pretty much frame any show with a fantastical element this way if you're doing this in bad faith, Game of Thrones is an easy low ball. In reality, AOT is mostly grounded, only a handful of characters actually have any powers and the ODM gear has realistic limitations such as a gas supply that can run out, requiring tall structures like trees or buildings to be of any use and swords that can dull or run out. It's a lot closer to a young adult story than a superhero show when you consider the cast and the apocalyptic setting.
>future sight shenanigans
Sure it starts to get out there once the Marley reveal is done, but this isn't out there for your average normie. Everyone was fine with Bran or Dr Strange pulling these things off.
>You are vastly underestimating the amount that makes up the entirety of the western audience.
I'm my extended social circle, the only people that are yet to touch anime and AOT specifically are the women that watch Love Island and K Dramas religiously, and a few guys that still haven't watched anime because they think it's a cartoon or had a shitty experience with regular shonen slop their friends recommended. 90+% of the guys and 60+% of the women have. Even your local gang banger has watched it. Idk maybe I'm seeing some sample bias since I'm a 24 year old in a major English speaking city. Maybe it's not as popular in small towns or in non English speaking western nations since dubs in their languages are rarer. But at least for the metropolitan zoomer Anglosphere, basically everyone has watched anime.

I hear people praise this all the time and I don't know if it's worth watch because I also see it compared to Rick and Morty.

>You are vastly underestimating the amount that makes up the entirety of the western audience.
Arguing that AOT is bad is one thing but arguing that it's not popular is just retarded.

Having a handful of characters having powers at all is already moving away from realism, especially if you consider the scale of what those powers are (turning into literal Kaiju that also have powers tacked on). ODM having limitations based somewhat on reality does almost nothing to mitigate the fact that the functional usage of ODM gear is a complete fantasy that cannot work. I was being hyperbolic in calling you delusional before, but you sincerely are if you in anyway think AoT is mostly grounded.

You are.

It's better than Rick and Morty.

I'm not arguing that it isn't popular, I do argue that it isn't as normalfag friendly as what some people may claim.

>>212087598
that's not saying much

>>212087650
Okay fine, it's much better than Rick and Morty. It has the ability to be serious and tell a more engaging story using time travel.

>>212087166
>only a handful of characters actually have any powers and the ODM gear has realistic limitations such as a gas supply that can run out, requiring tall structures like trees or buildings to be of any use and swords that can dull or run out
Forget any of the shit about the titans entirely. The maneuver gear alone puts AOT firmly in capeshit magical fantasy land no different from Raimi's interpretation of Spiderman. The idea that people are using the maneuver gear for anything beyond belaying down walls or the facades of buildings, rappelling up them, or making low slope ziplines with them is pure fantasy. I've got my issues with AOT but even so I won't sit here and try to argue it's a bad show. That being said to characterize it as in any way grounded in insane. Then you add the titans into the mix.

Then why do they waste so much of your time in maid cafes and trying to make the main character likeable when he's clearly not?
