I should write a non-weeb, non-degenerate's guide to anime.
"So you want to watch Anime but don't know where to begin? What is best tailored to your preferences? Simply put: What you should see?

Just follow this simple step-by-step guide and you'll find out!


Step 1. Reconsider your life decisions."

TTGL is probably going to be you're best bet in terms of shōnen-y type anime, but it's by far the worst of the bunch, in my HUMBLE opinion.


Meme reactions aside, the only thing I hate with TTGL is how they mange to make Yoko badass, but still subject her to the same fanservice crap. The story, characters, and almost everything else are still far better than the other animes you listed. Far better.

There's also Fullmetal Alchemist, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and uh... Death Note, if that counts. Those are all considered good, despite being retarded.

The only things it might be better than are DBZ and Deathnote.

The animation is lovely (I like the artstyle it has), along with just the whole Mass Effect thing it has going on (at least in the 2nd half). The action wasn't too bad, the ost is fantastic (that one you'll have to listen to on your own), the top of the line moments were climactic. It captured a good feeling of despair and hopelessness when it needed to.

I feel these things DBZ easily never did. It was always everyone getting ass kicked, Goku coming in to save the day. All the time. One Piece is just something I never got into, the characters were obnoxious to me along with the way it looked. Apparently the manga is fine.

Naruto drags on for way too damn long and is riddled with so much filler you'd want to kill yourself. TTGL tells a story quickly, easily, and powerfully if you ask me. Plus Simon's (Yuri Lowenthal is amazing) speech at the end was great.

I just felt it did an amazing job at people discovering a brand new world, full of all sorts of mysteries, life, and adventure, very very well.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Maybe we'll watch other

or Kill la Kill tomorrow.
What can you learn from KLK other than obscene fanservice left and right?
Culture.

hmm agreed
I didn't mind it at first when watching, but after thinking about it, yeah. She easily plays one of the most vital roles, if not THE most vital one aside from the main protag, and yet they made her even worse when she pops back in with the 2nd half of the season. That space suit outfit was a horrible fanservice mess.

Her character and actions easily could have carried her beyond just the looks the animators were so intent on flashing in our faces.

Really? I felt the post time skip was fantastic. If you want a bad drop off, try Sword Art Online. I thought TTGL's pacing throughout the entire thing was great.

I started watching SAO when toonami first aired it. The first two eps were pretty cool, except for me yelling at the TV because NOBODY IS EVER FUCKING GENRE SAVVY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST GUYS, YOU'RE LIKE THE FUCKING PEOPLE IN HORROR MOVIES WHO HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER SEEN A HORROR MOVIE IN THEIR FICTIONAL LIFE... but then halfway through episode 3, I turned to my brother (who had watched the subs way back when) and asked if Kirito ever stops being an edgelord. He said "No, he's a pretty static character". I said "dropped", and went back to playing some shitty VN.

Your first problem was watching it dubbed. It sounds so awful.

Didn't bother me that much.

I can't remember the last dub I heard that physically annoyed me since... Elfen Lied.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
yeah same
