What anime would you recommend to "normal people"?

Yeah, that's right! Heil grammatik!

Yeah, I'm relatively new to anime. Also, it wasn't really an advice, it was more a warning that this show is really damn weird and may traumatize you, and you shouldn't make my mistake of watching it without knowing what's it about. Ah, or maybe I'm just sensetive..

Of course, you even spelled English with a lower-case letter. How dare you insult the language?

Just kidding, heh.

english... come at me bros! In Portuguese it is portugues, no big deal. The english have a perverted sense of righteousness when it comes to their bastardised nonsensical language, so please by all my means take every opportunity you can to cunt them by spelling it with a small e.

I've enjoyed it, too, actually. But the last, say, 3-4 episodes basically destroyed the entire plot the show had until that point and what happened in the end I can't even describe.
I prefer it when the ending reveales everything, not the opposite!

I've already heard it doesn't really reveal anything and is as much mind screw.

Don't know why I didn't mention it the first time around, but I think the Monogatari series would be a very good recommendation for someone new to anime.

mmh, tough one, I must say that I feel like I'm being trolled in some parts anyway try these: Mirai Nikki, Black Lagoon, Elfen Lied, Hellsing Ultimate, Gokukoku no Brynhildr. Shiki is a good one but I can't be sure you'll like it, it seems you like more straightforward action and less the convulted mind games and verbose parts.

Robotech (first generation) was a translated version of Super Dimensional Fotress Macross: my first taste of anime. At the time it amazed me because I had never seen cartoons were some of the main characters die. Still get a bit of a lump in my throat when I remember. Watched it years later with my daughters and they loved it too

And of course I have to recommend Ghost In the Shell(1995), loved that movie. Also the TV series Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 1st and 2nd GIG is great too.


And in no way do I consider myself an anime fan, so these should be good for normies I reckon.

ok I've got one too (not Urotsukidoji [sic] as I have been tempted to post in this thread several times)

"The Promised Neverland"



I thought this was great! The concept is a bit anime -- a bunch of kids in an orphanage find out that they're actually being fattened up to be fed to demons and have to escape -- but other than that this is pretty normal person friendly: no over-the-top violence or upskirt shots or annoying 'cute' characters, and most importantly, IT SUSTAINS IT'S PACE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON!!!!!!! One of the big obstacles (other than the weird sex stuff) to widespread anime adoption is the willingness to get distracted by overwrought emotional twaddle, but this is laser focused on the attempt to escape and the kid's attempts to outsmart their overseer. It even has a satisfying series ending with very few unresolved plotlines!
Actually despite the horror setup this is more like an old sci-fi thriller, with the dystopian setting and smart people trying to trick each other plot. Lots of thriller-style cliffhanger episode endings too. Sure, the kids are much more together and organised than they really should be, being like 11 years old at the oldest, but fuck it there's demons so strict realism is kinda optional. Next season's coming out in January iirc, please please don't fuck it up.
