Anime for not weebs

[Guest]

TL;DR

I hate anime but ran out of normal stuff to watch. I liked Deathnote cuz the story was interesting & made sense in the context.
I liked Season 1 of High School of the Dead because I thought the gun guy was funny & uhh... the nurse was pretty cool. Yeah
I don't like stupid over the top stuff. Higurashi was dumb because it was.

Deadman wonderland made no sense.

 

Long:
I'm okay with animations, but the style of animation that's anime has a lot of tropes like anyone with glasses is smart, black hair white guy is protagonist that's nice, blonde girls are , Red hair girls are sassy so on.

I can deal with that lazy writing if the story isn't rediculous. I want to say I like western TV but I don't, so I'm not sure I can phrase what I'm looking for.

 

Something good that isn't just anime cuz anime. Like I don't like TV/Movies just because there's guns, police & soldiers in it.

I hope that kinda gives you direction. I also hate time wasting shows like the wallking dead. A lot of it is just talking about nothing & nothing happening to make the episodes 40 minutes long & 3 million episodes a season & also not have an end. And then they kill a zombie in a SupEr CoOl wAy.
 

I liked deathnote because it was like a mystery for me. I liked how SPOILERS

Spoiler

The protaganist has a motive that can be justified by the writers. There is enough reasonable explanation to how things work.
"People are dying randomly? Why are they all criminals?" and so on where L kinda connects the dots & so on but then Light is able to outsmart him but then L does something unexpected. I haven't seen anything like it before & haven't seen anything like it since.... except Onesion's only good video where he spoofs it.

I liked High School of the dead because SPOILERS

Spoiler

None of the characters were wildly annoying. The gun kid was super over the top about being into guns & I thought it was funny. The sexuality wasn't THAT bad. Yeah there was that one bathroom scene but for the most part it's not bad.
The bad teacher was also kinda cool cuz he's like doing his thing to earn power & stuff.

 

Also I think zombie movies can be cool if they don't "What's a zombie?" for 3 hours before being like "okay zombie apocalypse. I get it now."

 

I didn't like Higurashi because SPOILERS

Spoiler

Spoiler

I only saw part of an episode and asked my friend if that's basically what the whole show was & I was like wow... that sounds really dumb.

Basically these teenagers fight some soldiers or something with swords or axes & they wear bright clothes in a forest night attack they commence on whomever they're fighting.

 

Maybe if I was 12, half stupid & never seen a good show/movie I could potentially see the appeal but... I'm at least no longer 12.

I didn't like Deadman wonderland because SPOILERS

Spoiler

Spoiler

I only got like 7 episodes in.
So the show starts out pretty cool. This prisoner dude can control his blood to make like swords or something iirc.
Then he competes in these ninja warrior games to get money so he can buy clothes & food.

If he earns enough I think he's allowed to buy freedom.

 

So the early episode he goes to do one of these competitions & then it was kinda dumb in how it was executed. It wasn't fun to watch him do this obstacle course at all & they mostly gloss over it.

There was some weird angel girl that made no relevance to me & prolly had more meaning with the fighting of the system that came about.

So then they're like escaping & idek what was going on. Why didn't they just make the show about the games? I felt let down by the whole introduction of the games & then they do half of one & chicken out on the idea.

 

I only read like 2 japanese manga

Robotech idk if it's the original. I didn't read all of it. It's good imo.

I read some weird thing about fish with legs from some guy called ito & that was quite possibly the dumbest story with the coolest concept I've ever seen. Worse than James Cameron's Transformers.

 

Any anime recommendations for normal people? It's okay to have stereotype characters, there's only so many ways you can write a character.

 

EDIT:
Links to show on crunchy roll or some other service is helpful.

Weeb anime:

Spoiler

Cardcaptor Sakura -> child obsessed with older boy in overly anime way. Little animal thing that talks all anime

Full Metal Alcemist: Brotherhood -> Everyone is over emotive to a cartoonish/anime extent. There's no professionalism presented by the professionals.

Gurren Lagann -> The characters are too over representative & over explain things like I can't see. Things in the air for no reason. Absurd explosions.

Hunter X Hunter -> Things in the air, over explaining.

Not that weeby:

Spoiler

Death Note

RWBY

 

[Letgomyleghoe.]

1. Code Geass

2. Code Geass

3. Code Geass

4. You might like hunter x hunter but it's quite long 149 episodes but there is barely if any filler?

5. Steins gate if you can get past the first half

Hey there. Recommendations below. Note that the list is kinda dated? Haven't been keeping up with anime lately.

• Blood+ (4 Seasons, 50 Total Episodes) (2005 - 2006): Action, Dark Fantasy, Suspense. Romance is important to the plot, but the plot doesn't just revolve around romance. It's also super serious, there is like... zero comedy. (Warning: Gore, Sensitive Off-Screen/Implied Content.)
• Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle (2 Seasons, 52 Total Episodes + 5 OVAs) (2005 - 2009): Adventure, Fantasy, Romance. Comedy is sprinkled in here and there when the plot isn't rolling around in fantasy drama.
• Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (1 Season, 27 Episodes) (2007): Adventure, Action, Mecha. Romance is important to the plot, especially in the latter half of the series. As you get deeper and deeper into series, there's less comedy and more drama.
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (1 Season, 64 Total Episodes + 4 OVAs) (2009 - 2010): Adventure, Dark Fantasy, Science-Fiction. There is romance, but the plot doesn't revolve around romance.
• Kekkai Sensen/Blood Blockade Battlefront (2 Seasons, 24 Total Episodes + 2 OVAs) (2015 - 2017): Adventure, Urban Fantasy, Science-Fiction. There is romance (or very deep friendship ), and it is sort of important to the plot, but the entire series doesn't revolve around romance. Comedy is sprinkled in here and there when the plot isn't busy being TOTALLY AWESOME. (Note: Personal Bias.)

Copy-pasta'd from this status reply asking for anime with good story and/or romance or comedy. Above recommendations all have plot that is explained throughout the series. How in-depth that explanation is will depend on whether you stick with it out to the end.

Well RWBY or avatar could count. Rwby is 3d with anime art style.

But you liked Death Note and that had guns and police in it. So is there a limit to how much it can have? 

 

You are missing out on a lot of great anime if you don't like those things. Does that rule out any mecha kind of stuff too? I can think of a lot of other good stuff without those things but since you don't like anime tropes or anything over the top, it makes it even harder. You seem like you still want something seriously though or at least semi-serious. I mean, you like High School of the Dead which is actually pretty over the top and definitely has some anime tropes in so I would think there might be a little wiggle room for recommendations?

 

Shows like Neon Genesis Evangelion come to mind but it has guns even though must are mecha related. It is one of the best anime ever made and pretty much required watching for anime newcomers. It has a ton of psychologically imbalanced characters, violence, a very interesting plot, great character development, and is one of those shows you will need to watch more than once to understand.  

 

Anyway, I'm just going to go through my list of watched anime and try to give you some to checkout. Mind you that I haven't watched some of these in years so there may be some tropes here or there or a scene with a gun in it. My descriptions will likely suck but I want to keep it brief.

 

Another - Pretty serious anime with mystery, psychological, and horror elements revolving around high schoolers. Expect a lot of characters to die. Most of the characters are interesting, especially the main two. 

 

Bakemonogatari - This is actually a series with a bunch of different names but it starts with Bakemonogatari - It's a very stylish anime with a lot of effects. Pretty much every character is likable. It has very witty dialogue and banter. Lot's of curt responses if you like that kind of thing. Quite funny at times but has a lot of very series moments, many will probably make you cry. Kind of over the top in its presentation and with some things but I don't think it is in the way you are trying to avoid. Has lots of supernatural elements.

 

Candy Boy - This is a bit more light hearted as it is a slice of life anime. It follows two EXTREMELY close sisters. Borders on the the line of the sisters being really close or actually having some romantic feelings for each other but it never crosses that line. It's a sweet anime regardless. It is a recommended show for those who like incest anime but I never felt like it really delivered on that front so if you don't like that kind of thing, you still might enjoy it.

 

Chobits - One of the classics and a personal favorite. It's sweet, touching, funny, and romantic. The main female is actually an android slowly learning about the things around her as she discovers her emotions. If you want good romance, this is a great one. There just aren't enough good android romance anime out there and this is probably the best.

 

Clannad - Expect to cry A LOT. I mean A LOT. Very touching with supernatural elements to it and a whole conclusive romance to boot. Has a lot of slice of life kind of stuff but really isn't strictly that kind of show. High school themed.

 

Dagashi Kashi - Funny slice of life anime that has a heavy focus on Japanese candy. It's one of those food anime that focus on a niche kind of interest. I think this would actually interest people that may not be that into anime because of its uniqueness and it not just being about huge anime action battles or school girls bending over in their bloomers if you know what I mean.

 

Plus, it has one of the top tier anime girls in it IMO.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/03/74/d2/0374d26bad41c63700817123ec40ad81.jpg

 

Eden of the East -  Great series as was the movie. I think there is at least another movie or two but I never got around to checking them out. I think it's better to just read the AP description on it than me try to describe it.

 

Ef A Tale of Memories - One of my favorite conclusive romance anime. Very beautiful and touching. It made me cry a few times. The main girl forgets the day before whenever she sleeps so there is a complexity to the romance and you really feel for her. Check it out.

 

Elfen Lied - One of my favorite but hard to watch because it can just be so brutal at times. It just makes you feel absolutely horrible for what happens to some characters. It has a lot of blood and gore but also a lot of nice calm moments that will really make you like a lot of the characters and feel like you are watching something really pleasant. Then the show will rip that away from you. There are guns in the beginning but I don't remember much of them beyond that. There is also a little cousin romance going on so I'm not sure if that bothers you or not. Doesn't bother me since I don't really think it's weird, especially since it's legal in most places, even marriage.

 

Full Metal Panic - I know you said no military but the military stuff here more lighthearted IIRC. This is a comedy after all. A very funny one. Great characters, some anime tropes but nothing extreme. Honestly, it's another classic that I just had to recommend.

 

Gosick - If you like mystery and detective stuff, this is a really good. Great mysteries and some good humor to go along with it. Plus, the chick is super adorable and likable if you like tsunderes. Good romance element IIRC. I actually watched this with someone who "doesn't like anime" and they actually really enjoyed it.

 

I just realized that I'll be here all day if I just keep trying to recommend you shows. I'm pretty much just going through my list in alphabetical order. I'm probably missing quite a few anyway since I probably have 30-40 shows I still need to add.

 

I'm going to skip to the bottom of my list because one show is one my mind.

 

Yurkikum Arashi - A personal favorite yuri (lesbian romance) anime. Probably one of the best yuri anime out there. I believe its average rating is due to people just not getting it. The whole bear thing is probably a turn off for a lot of people and a bit weird but it serves a purpose. It's really a giant metaphor but I'm not going to spoil anything.

 

This is just a perfect example of great anime story telling and how anime is just able to do things right. This show does a fantastic job of addressing gay/lesbian issues in a compelling, thoughtful, interesting, and emotional way without the SJW pandering, quilt tripping, and forcing issues that turns so many people off, even those who support LGBT rights but aren't part of the group or warriors/virtue signalers.

 

It's a pretty emotional show overall. Might be a good idea to keep some tissues handy lol.

 

There are some guns but it is not central to anything so I wouldn't let it turn you off.

 

Btw, the opening is one of my favorites.

Deadman wonderland is incomplete, you should look to the manga if you wanna continue with the story but if you wanna that I spoiler you for that so it makes more sense:

Spoiler

The albino girl is the first that could manipolate it's blood, actually she is a experimental guinea pig

Ganta the protagonist should have been himself a guinea pig, but her mother got affectionate to him, so she couldn't experiment to him, and choosed the girl as it

That prison was an experimental lab

Ganta and shino were friends, but ganta forgot she a cause of a child trauma

 

 

Also I would suggest you:

Redline

Koe no katachi

Kizumonogatari (subdivided in three films)

They are films, but are amazingly animated

Redline is something really amazing, thinking that it took like 7 years to animate it and that are all drawn by hand is austonish

Under spoiler some trailer of those films:

Spoiler

Ps: I have no idea on how to delete spoilers from mobile

 

Meanwhile if you are ok with series:

Attack on Titan

Zankyo no terror

The promised neverland

Monogatari series

Mekkaku city actors (similar animation of monogatari)

Texnolyze (is pretty sperimental and depressive, don't look it if you cannot take suspense)

No longer human (same thing of texhnolyze)

Orange

Kiseiju

Ergo proxy

Bounen no Xamandou 

Dororo

Monster

Steins gate

 

And if you like comical stuff:

Grand teacher onizuka

Grand blue

Prison school

hate anime but ran out of normal stuff to watch

Hi

Your just like me lmao 

Watch dragon ball if you want and Yu-Gi-Oh imo they are the only ones that dont try to be Japanese

[Thorium19]

My recommendations come from getting other friends interested in anime, some ofthese have alreasdy been mentioned but warrant another comment.

 

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - it's an action packed, kinda wacky, but also emotional rollercoaster of a show. It's only 27 episodes, and besides 1 episode has some of the best animation of its year IMO. It's a mecha, but not like your gundam mecha shows which are super serious, the mechas have a personality linked to each character. Yes there's definitely fanservice, but it's actually done in a really entertaining way (beach episode anyone?) and it's a bright, colourful show, with gainax tropes at its peak. It was my first "proper" anime, and the one I like to use to introduce people, because it's not edgy in any real way, and has some real curveballs in it. Each of the main characters is distinct, and most characters have immediately recogniseable silouhettes. There's also some really hard hitting quotes from the show that carry weight and significance in the real world for helping you as a person improve.

 

Lupin the third - A classic show, the more recent series, part 4 and part 5, are really well animated, but I think it's worth first learning who each of the characters are, then watching the movie, the castle of cagliostro. You can go back and watch lupin from the beginning, but it's a very different art style to today, which might not be as enjoyable.

 

My hero academia - If you like superhero stuff, this is a must. Imagine 80% of people have some form of power, it can be strong or weak, who knows. Because of this, there are inherantly superpowered criminals, so ther must be superpowered heroes, registered with the government, to help prevent crime. There's high schools built to help train the next generation of superheroes, and our main character wants to go to the most prestigious of them all. There's jsut one flaw - he doesn't have any powers.

worth a watch if you want to see character development over a number of seasons, it's still running too, with the most recent series finished couple months back.

 

MEGALOBOX - it's a modern show, where the art style has been done to look like a 90s anime, and it pulls it off well. If you like a gritty story about an underdog rising up the ranks against all odds, then this is definitely the show for you. It's only short, about 13 episodes, but in those 13 episodes you get attached to the story of this dystopian future, where boxing with mechanical equipment on your arms is the main sporting attraction.

[Dr0y]

I concur with steins gate, one of the best I've seen.

 

Infinite ryvius if you like science fiction

 

Space dandy if you like writer acid trip

 

Bakuman was great.

 

We watched violet evergarden recently and I think it's really good.

but it's quite good and worth watching. 

 

Also if you don't mind movies I would suggest you take a look at Perfect Blue and Akira.  Old but gold like they say. 

[Eigenvektor]

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. It may seem to start out like a typical "magical girl" series (bright and colorful) but it's really not. I'd probably classify it as psychological horror/despair. Some of its art style can seem a bit crazy at first. I'd suggest watching the first three episodes (12 total) before making a judgment call. Its music is also very good.

 

Elfen Lied. If you want more action and lots of blood and death. Probably has more of a typical anime feel to it with some (partial) nudity.

[Bitter]

Ghost in the Shell, the original movie and the SAC series were enjoyable. The movie is kind of a classic/required watching in my opinion, as is Perfect Blue. They introduce you, easily, to a lot of themes and basics that are repeated throughout more shows and movies, the dialog is easy to follow if you're watching subtitles (please watch subtitles), and the action is good.

[Commodus]

I like One Punch Man for how it continuously skewers tropes for both superheroes and anime.  Those over-the-top personas like Genos (a stereotypical cyborg warrior if there ever was one)?  Yeah, they're nothing compared to a guy who's more angry about missing grocery discounts than the villain du jour.

If you've not seen and aren't familiar with those tropes then they're not really jokes that you'll get so I don't categorize One Punch Man as a good starter anime.

[Zodiark1593]

Death Note gets some flak, but I think it a very approachable series that can cater to a fairly wide audience. The world, for the most part, readily makes sense as do the characters. 
 

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is pretty approachable. While there are some purists out there that would shun anything but Japanese, the English dub in this series is very good. 
 

Cardcaptor Sakura is probably one of my favorite series. While there is magic and the like in it, it’s actually a relatively minor part of the story compared to the characters and their lives. Would recommend only the Japanese language though. The Nelvana English dub performed about every sin you could make in the course of localization, including changing parts of the story (most notably, instances of same gender relationships). 
 

Avatar, The Last Airbender, while not technically an anime, is close enough where I don’t care. It’s one of the few American cartoons that actually tells a cohesive, serious story, and so I think it worthy of consideration. The series touches upon political issues that resemble some of what we see today. 
 

There are also anime movies to look for as well. Studio Ghibli has made some fantastic movies. Those I’ve watched include My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away. A couple other movies I like outside the Ghibli Sphere are Okko’s Inn, Wolf Children, and In This Corner of The World. The emotional impact of some of these movies has rivaled or surpassed anything Disney.

Police & military are fine. It's just that like well... Police shows can be cool but do you know how many NCIS tv shows there are? How many "He's the best cop we've ever seen... but he doesn't play by the rules."

Transporter or whatever was a good movie. Yknow "I will find you & I will kill you."
Now there's a thousand movies & TV shows where the protaganist gets really angry & just shoots everybody. That's the character's personality trait. I can watch explosions and CGI compilations on youtube yet it doesn't make it any more satisfying if you get what I'm trying to say.

I didn't watch game of thrones but I saw the first 3 episodes & they have sex a lot. I can just watch porn instead, yknow? Nothing felt like it was happening & everyone said

"And there's alot of sex."

"okay? There's sex on porn websites."

If you've not seen and aren't familiar with those tropes then they're not really jokes that you'll get so I don't categorize One Punch Man as a good starter anime.

I saw one punch man. It was good. Some of my friends are/were hardcore weebs.

one wore a costume of an anime character everyday.

There are also anime movies to look for as well. Studio Ghibli has made some fantastic movies. Those I’ve watched include My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away. A couple other movies I like outside the Ghibli Sphere are Okko’s Inn, Wolf Children, and In This Corner of The World. The emotional impact of some of these movies has rivaled or surpassed anything Disney. 

I saw their Spirited away & castle in the sky.

They were okay.
Many people rave over the company. I didn't think they were particularly stellar. They're decent movies though.

Just took a look, it doesn't look like Blood+ or Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles (also Chronicle of the Wings) are on Crunchroll (there are discussion pages, but no videos). I am both sad and appalled. 

 

Happy that you're considering the other three series I suggested, though!
