i can count on one hand (hell, maybe one finger*) the number of high-school-set anime that i would recommend to an anime newcomer. most of the shows that got me into the medium — a good chunk of which are on this list — had a much more international perspective that didn’t depend on japanese cultural knowledge.

..do people just not take anime seriously if it isn’t violent or full of suspense?

Bebop is mentioned at the top of the article as the show that everyone recommends to newcomers, so I assume it’s the article’s de facto ninth recommendation

I first watched it with a group of friends that included a major anime-skeptic, and he audibly cringed every time Edward did his whole “don’t call me short” yelling schtick. It was a shame, because he said he was repeatedly getting into it, only to be taken out of it by another screaming jag.

If I had to introduce a show to somebody who doesn’t watch anime and isn’t a fan of sci-fi or action, Kids on the Slope is probably the only one I’d be able to think of. It’s gorgeous, it treats its characters seriously, it has the jazz thing going on which keeps things familiar to westerners. Super heartwarming, too.…

in this case, i would say it still refers to psychotic fans

you people are fucking deranged

literally nothing you can do during a screening of sonic can ruin the movie. honestly, if the movie is getting drowned out by adam sandler complimenting jim carrey, then at least you’re experiencing a single iota of human connection, which is a significant improvement.

a true samurai would know there is also peace and serenity in the mastery of the blade

I’m not necessarily intrigued by the combat/mission loop — I’m a bit bored by “clear the enemy outposts” gameplay these days. But I appreciated how much of this preview’s emphasis is on just vibing. It looks and sounds gorgeous, and the exploration feels a lot like BOTW, which is great. I will never fast travel
