What are some good starter anime?

BakerMan · May 9, 2024

I've only seen Pokemon (and not the entirety of that either), Sonic X, and Kirby Right Back At Ya, what are some good starter anime other than those? Maybe I'd start with a shonen outside of the big 3. Like Dragon Ball, One Punch Man, Chainsaw Man or JJK. And hey, maybe if someone else is looking to get into anime, this could help them like it may help me.

(also, obviously, no horny, I'm BakerMan, not PsionicRoshambo or Skelletonlike)

Well shounen is a massive genre but if you wan some old classics I always love to suggest Yu Yu Hakusho. It's a bit slow at the start but man it gets great. So much fun. Also one of the few shows I 100% suggest the dub of.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles is a pretty fun shounen that's pretty easy to enjoy. Similar vibes to One Punch Man about a guy who has to attend a magic academy but has no magical prowess at all, so just punches his way through everything with abnormal strength. It was one of the shows that had me interested enough to read the manga when it finished airing at least, and has a decent enough dub if you prefer that.

If you want to try something that's airing now that you can stay up to date with weekly, Kaiji No 8 is also pretty fun and easy to follow. Plenty more to recommend if you have a better idea of genres and what you'd want to watch. There's really an ocean of great stuff nowadays, I don't really think the gateway series of olde are necessarily the ones folks need to watch.

you know what? i was just about to say that i decided to get volume 1 of the manga at when i was at the library

only read volume 1 so far (i picked up only volume 1 and not volume 2 because i thought it would be longer lmao), but it was great imo, can't wait to watch the anime
(btw if you're wondering which one i meant, i meant mashle)

tbh i've also been considering cowboy bebop, is that a good one?

It would be very easy for me to list a bunch of more accessible titles, but honestly I'd suggest just investigating based on character designs/art style and synopsis that appeal to you.
Initially, avoid anything that's more than a couple of seasons and perhaps stick to movies or series/ova's that are wrapped up fairly succinctly.
Obvious recommend; Akira

Cowboy Bebop is a good gateway anime. Digimon is also a good one with a pretty nice plot compared to pokemon. I'd also suggest Yu Yu Hakusho(dubbed). It's probably one of the best dubbed anime in my opinion.
