Really real answer is that I usually just describe Death Note to them, since that usually suckers people in.

I show them that but tell them to watch deathnote.
It is easier to show them an anime about a relatable thing like sports instead of giant robots.
That is why the eva angle is not consistent. Cowboy bepop is good since it is not easy see what it is about but maily focuses on the characters and their goals.

 

[MncPsycho]

How about Pokemon?

No you gotta throw them in the deep end. Obviously use Gurren.

Spoiler

Don't use Gurren. If they don't know anime they'll hate it.

Alternatively, you can use something like Clannad. That shit makes people melt into puddles of tears.

 

[mike0dude]

How about Pokemon?

just watch One Piece tho.

 

[Zenfalcia]

Attack on Titan is my other go to, usually because they ask about it and I just show them the first episode. If you're not hooked by the end of the first one you probably won't like it, so that's worked out pretty well so far.

Though, now I'm also gonna throw Monster into that mix, since it's fucking super approachable to non-anime viewers.

One piece is probably a safe choice too..

From what i've heard, it could've been a TV live action drama. You know what's super approachable? Madoka.

Spoiler

Xiraiya/Beloved/VS my friend wants to read Gintama instead of watch it, how crazy are they?

I've been reading it. It's been fun and still entertaining.

I'd never recommend Eva to someone who hasn't watched anime, it's similar to Gurren in that an existing appreciation for the tropes being represented is very crucial to liking it to its fullest potential.

I've also had good luck recommending Durarara and Another, since one is stylized and unique and the other is just a fun mystery and is short.

 

[Numb]

How about Pokemon?

Some people dont even know it is anime to begin with and assume it is a cartoon. So there are many who know about it but have never seen other anime.

 

[JooseBawcks]

Manga's way better.

Probably not crazy, 'cause manga's better than anime.

Alright never mind then

 

[Banana Aeon]

If their familiar with anime, I'll recommend Eva, but if they have no anime experience, I ain't recommending shit. You get into that pitfall on yo own.

Frienders! Where is a good place to watch Ippo super legit?

Because Cruncyroll is being a shit by not having the older series.
Why do I give you my money Crunchyroll? You always betray me.

I got someone to watch Sakarasou(the pet girl of sakurasou) or something like that... So there's that... But that was because i was watching it and he got curious and started watching it with me.

Crunchy roll is a fantastic deal and I have pretty much exclusively watched all my anime on there since subscribing

Might not want to link that.

Ask her if she has any Battln boxer cards, I need some.

What's that?

Just go straight to Kiss x sis, Ladies vs butlers and Quenn's blade

High quality JoJo, Kuroko, new Ippo, KLK, and a myriad of other "okay" shows makes me keep the subscription. I need my 1080p, ad-free, simulcast, fabulous JoJo poses.

I have a friend who watches anime but not alot and about the time the new eva movies came out i watched one with him and he was confused and but then we watched that strong world one piece movie and loved it. It seems as though you need to be a little bit into anime to go near eva.

So around the time SMT IV was being released i got hyped and tried to play Nocturne to prepare myself. little did i know that Europe is the dark continent to ATLUS and the game was delayed and with it my hype for noctrune. But since SMT IV just came out should i jump into Nocturne to get ready for it? Is nocturne even required gameplay or storywise or should i jump into W101 right now?

Nocturne is its own universe, and is arguably better than IV by some people. I like the better designed boss encounters and steady difficulty, though I still prefer IV for its callbacks to the earlier MegaTen games. They can be both approached separately.

But forget about that bullshit, play Wonderful 101 NOW!

The quality of the videos are garbage but it usually has just about any anime you would want to watch. I found another that has better quality but not as big of a catalog.

The point I'm at now because I have fan fucking tastic internet, I either buy my anime or just download it. Streams have become useless to me now, especially with how shit quality their videos are.

I was using Nocturne as a stepping stone for IV even though i knew it was good too but i didnt know it could be better aswell. Know i am more hyped.

But that can wait ill jump on W101 instantely. Wish me luck.

It's not about the usage, it's about posting bannable sites.

I think they're bannable? Correct me if i'm wrong..

You said you didn't watch anime, but would you watch one about mechs playing basketball?

I don't anymore, it was just the first site that came to mind since I bought Ippo from my local anime store instead of streaming it.

It's not about the usage, it's about posting bannable sites.

Yea I know, that was directed to the people who were saying the video quality is garbage, which it is I won't deny that.

Oh finally got the chance to Finish the First World Tournament Arc of Dragon Ball. Such a satisfying conclusion to an arc even I Goku lost. Hell, even though I think Dragon Ball Z has worse writing, I'd still put how they finish out their story arcs far above a lot of recent anime just because each arcs ends really well.

I played Virtua Cop 1 on a Saturn semi-recently and had way too much fun with it,

Virtua Cop 2's first boss throws crates and barrels at you, and at the very end when he has one hit point left throws a goddamn coffee truck at you. It's so silly.

It's not a nostalgia thing, but there's just something about the aesthetic and music with Model 2 games that makes me happy. It makes me excited to play a video game. When all these pixel art indie games have all been expended, I hope the next old graphic style to emulate is something like this. It's either that or PS1 graphics with the textures floating and warping in space or some shit.
