What are your anime suggestions, I’ve been trying to get into it but I don’t really know what to watch

Hey there! and yeeesss, i’m so glad you’re gonna give anime a try! there are so many good stories and plots in anime which dont exist in western media so it’s a great mode of entertainment! so as for recs, lemme copy and paste my previous answer to this similar question and update it to answer yours!

As for starter anime, I think these are good ones you can start with and have received widespread acclaim:

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Hunter X Hunter

Gakuen Babysitters (feel good anime that has babies!!)

Yuri! On Ice (gay anime)

Madoka Magica

Cowboy Bebop

[last updated: 28 Apr 2018]

Currently watching:

Neon Genesis Evangelion - i admit it has a slow buildup but be patient because you will really find it intense and see how it’s not your typical mecca anime. so far, i think it seems to be a deconstruction of the genre and has alot of psychological themes

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - i dont know why my memory about this anime is somehow a blur. i’m sure i finished it but also not so i’m rewatching it and honestly i think this is a good starter anime. i know many people who do not normally watch anime and watched this

Boku no Hero Academia - it’s a recent anime and it’s really good! i think it’s on course to becoming a really big anime that will last many seasons at this rate. the story is about a world where majority of the inhabitants are heroes cause they have quirks (powers).. and the premise is that the main character doesnt have one but he wants to be a hero so watch and see how the story unfolds

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures (currently on Stardust Crusaders) - macho anime with an excellent plot! the guys are hot haha and many of the memes are in japanese so watch the original subbed but if you prefer not to read, the dub isnt bad. it’s very memey but the story is really entertaining and has unpredictable moments

One Punch Man - a parody of a superhero anime. tbh this isnt really binge-watch material cause it’s like a running gag and the story unfolds after episode 5 so i’ve just been watching this during my cardio days in the gym. but it’s a parody of a superhero anime

Hunter X Hunter - this anime is popular and it’s about hunters. so the beginning has the protagonist wanting to be a hunter and then he meets some fellow hunters along the way. it’s one of the highest rated anime in MyAnimeList (the RottenTomatoes equivalent of the anime world) so yeah check this out!

Tokyo Ghoul - the opening song is what captivated me to watch this tbh. although i heard the manga is better. it’s interesting though

Anime currently airing and I’m caught up on (just waiting for the next season to air)

Gakuen Babysitters - super feel good anime about babies!!!!! 

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - super funny anime. if you need a laugh, this will really lift you up. i watched the first two episodes in sub and dub back to back.. and i can vouch that the voice actors for the English dub are excellent. it’s actually even funnier.. but if you prefer subs, then that’s fine. it’s just the lines are more humorous, expressive and have more variety :) Nozaki’s voice is also attractive in the dub.. it’s still very Nozaki imo. this anime pokes fun at the shoujo manga yet still has romantic elements. it’s mostly comedy though 

Shingeki no Kyojin / Attack on Titan - it’s the Game of Thrones of anime imo.. like it’s so GOOD.. it will just make you gag after every episode!!! it’s so intense and there are really badass characters. and the plot is really brilliant. like if you think season 1 was like WHAT THE FUCkk.. wait til season 2! this anime is crazy and exciting. not for the faint-hearted tbh cause it can be graphic and disturbing (also dont get attached. they could die!) but yeah, this anime is popular true and some say it’s overrated but that’s because it really deserves all the recognition and success it has for its amazing plot

Anime watched/finished:

Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Battle Tendency) - SONO CHI NO SADAMEEE JOOOOOOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the type of anime that’ll get you wanting to go to the gym and lift. that being said, it has a really amazing story

Kimi no Na Wa - universally lauded and recently released! it’s the best film released in 2016 imo. i swear it’s really next level storytelling

Rurouni Kenshin - i think i watched this anime twice/thrice.. It’s so suspenseful. it’s about samurais. and this anime made me interested about Japan’s history. it’s kind of a period drama with amazing fight sequences. and it’s critically acclaimed. it’s my father’s all-time favourite anime

Rurouni Kenshin OVA - it’s a prequel. also more violent and tragic than its anime counterpart.. like it’s really different from the series. but it’s so good. you’ll find out how Kenshin got his iconic X mark from here!)

Ghost Stories - THE DUB IS A MASTERPIECE! THE SUBBED IS SHIT. TRUST ME. the DUB is the popular one too cause it’s the superiour version. You really have to see this one. the anime bombed in Japan so the english dubbers got all the rights for the anime and they gave the go signal for the dubbers to do whatever the fuck they want and the end result is fucking hilarious. it shits on the Scary Movie Franchise tbh

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - i swear do not be deceived.. it is a really intense and surprisingly dark anime with excellent plot twists

Jigoku Shoujo / Hell Girl - angst, tragedy, philosophical anime analysing humanity’s hatred, need for vengeance, and suffering. Futakomori or the 2nd season is my favourite but it’s worth finishing the entire series. 3rd season is very painful to watch though and you dont have to watch that one tbh if you dont want to lol

Love Live! School Idol Project - i honestly just watched this like out of curiosity and just for kicks. i was not expecting to love it but after episode 3, i was like wait??? wasnt this anime supposed to be fun?? why am i crying?? so yeah, it’s super good, touching, entertaining and sweet! and the songs are really catchy and good.. TBH this anime is like so gay since there are no men (except Honoka’s dad) so yeah it passes the Bechdel Test with perfect score

Love Live! Movie - the conclusion to the anime!

Love Live! Sunshine - i watched this like a few months after finishing the original series cause i loved the original girls and i was worried i wont like these girls.. but honestly, you will appreciate them. and it has more gay subtext. btw tell me who your fave girls/best girls are after watching Love Live and Sunshine. my best girls are Umi Sonoda and Kanan Matsuura :>

Yu Yu Hakusho - occult, spirit world, ghosts, and fighting. you most probably have heard of this

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters - 1st series starring Yugi is iconic. it might seem juvenile though so i’m not sure if you will like it but the anime is really good if you love the card games

Digimon - can be very intense! better than Pokemon imo

Cardcaptor Sakura - this is also suspenseful. like the premise is essentially that Sakura has to catch all the “monsters” that were freed from this book. and it’s up to her to “capture” them and put into cards. magic, fantasy, and beautiful animation

Ranma ½ - this was so funny but the ending was disappointing cause it got cancelled apparently.. i really hope this will go out of limbo and give us a proper ending like InuYasha did but i doubt it

Danganronpa (murder plot twists, intense and despair-filled storyline. click this to know more about the premise. it’s like Battle Royale meets CSI meets How To Get Away With Murder. btw i highly suggest you play this game (it’s available on Steam) instead of watching the poorly condensed anime. so buy it on steam or you can download it how you like cause it’s one of the best games ever. and if you plan on watching this, there is no Danganronpa 2 anime so yeah just play the first game tbh. here’s a trailer of the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwJeZPMhdUk. if ya dont wanna play the games then you can watch the anime. and after watching this, here’s a link of the playthrough of the 2nd game. it’s super fun, full of plot twists, and interactive) 

Yuri On Ice - it’s a really cute gay anime. people will argue it isnt and its queerbait but i’m gay and alot of the things which happen are too much for just bros to do so yeah, i believe it’s canon gay or mlm. and i enjoyed it so you watch it and be the judge

Blood+ - vampires and sword fighting

Ghost In The Shell - it’s a sci-fi movie

Yakitate Japan - baking and cooking!

Getbackers - still up to debate if the duo are gay but if you google art of them, there have been official art released and it’s so gay lol. but yeah it’s shonen genre and it’s not canon gay

Cowboy Bebop - a CLASSIC. the dub is great!!

I don’t remember if i finished these but I watched a lot of episodes enough to recommend it and will rewatch them soon to relieve memories. I’m pretty sure I tuned in though and watched like 80%:

Fushigi Yuugi (i think this is shoujo but it has a nice adventure storyline)

Gundam series (i think i finished the first Gundam and the second)

Tsubasa Chronicles (it’s like a spin-off of Cardcaptor Sakura but they’re like all grown up and the plot is different)

Naruto

One Piece (i watched like the first four seasons)

Bleach (i remembered watching until episode 40 omg)

Great Teacher Onizuka (this is so funny tbh. i think i watched almost all of it)

Studio Ghibli films I watched:

Spirited Away

The Wind Rises

Ponyo

Tales from Earthsea

Anime I plan to watch (many suggested this to me and i plan on watching them so i’ll write them down here) :

Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice)

Anohana The Flower We Saw That Day

Re: Zero

Your Lie in April

Shin sekai Yori

Gintama

More of Makoto Shinkai’s movies like 5 centimetres per second, etc.)

More Ghibli films too

Final Fantasy XV: Kingsglaive (after i finish FFXV game im watching this one)

Persona 4

Here you go!!!! I know it’s an extensive list. I’ll probably make this a masterpost of anime recs and will update this list, and add more soon. If you have any questions or anything, don’t be shy to message me! :)

What is Danganronpa about?

Hey there! I’m so glad you’re interested! it’s one of my fave game series/franchises. so to start, it’s murder mystery, adventure, and suspense so if you’re into that, then continue reading as i’ll try to talk bout it as briefly as possible.

So for the premise without giving spoilers.. the story of the first game (Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc) begins with the protagonist entering his first day of high school and this high school, Hope’s Peak Academy, is not an ordinary one cause only the best of the bests are accepted! Not grades-wise but talent and skills-wise. So all of these students are ultimates and they’re scouted across the world to study in the school cause only the #1 in that skill get in. So for example, there’s an ultimate swimmer, ultimate gambler, ultimate baseball star, ultimate programmer, etc.

And as soon as the protagonist enters the school, he blacks out and then finds out that there are like 14 other students there who also experienced the same thing. They have no idea why they’re all there. So to cut to the chase, a mastermind in a form of a mechanical bear named Monokuma has kidnapped all of them and they’re all stuck in that school with no way out.

BUT there’s a catch, the only way they can get out of there is if they “GRADUATE” meaning, they have to KILL one student.

It doesn’t end there! Because if a student kills one student, they HAVE TO GET AWAY WITH IT.

So if a student gets killed, all students investigate the scene of the crime. Then a class trial will be held where you will all debate who’s the killer, how they were killed, etc.

The catch is: IF everyone accuses the wrong person and the killer gets away with it. All of the students except the killer get punished (executed) while the killer is the only one that gets out.

But IF everyone makes the right accusation, only the killer will be executed.

So you can see why it’s a survival game and you will also see why students would end up killing each other even though from the beginning, no one wanted to kill a student. The story then goes from there! Now many questions are raised like:

Where are the other students?

Who’s the headmaster/mastermind?

Why are they all trapped in a high school?

Whats the mastermind’s motive?

What happened to their families and loved ones?

WHO WILL SURVIVE???

It is a super logic-based game. Has a lot of thinking involved. And yeah it’s super exciting, tragic, sad, intense, and HAS MANY CLEVER PLOT TWISTS.

The gameplay is a visual novel type of style so it’s like you’re reading with moving pictures and it’s really interactive and fun. It does have a slow start but once the first killing happens, more actions appear and the class trial is very interactive more than the usual click this and that.

The game also allows you to select a difficulty level when you start it. I strongly suggest you set the LOGIC to MEAN level. And the Action, you can do it in whatever level you think is appropriate for you. If you’re a seasoned gamer, you won’t find the “Mean” level of Action too difficult but if you’re not used to games then you can set it to “Kind”. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, don’t set the Logic to Kind because it is insultingly easy and you will get bored and have to start all over again if you decided “Mean” is for you. And trust me, it will be. Also, a good way to stimulate your brain and use of logic.

Here’s a trailer of the first game (i can only see the English version.. but you can play it with Japanese audio and English subtitles if you prefer that. The English isnt so bad though) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwJeZPMhdUk

So if this got you sold, then you can certainly purchase the bundle Danganronpa 1 and 2 on Steam for a good price! BTW the sequel, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is truly a level up of the first game. it’s one of those NECESSARY SEQUELS and my fave so far from the franchise. 

There is an anime for the first game but the anime is poorly condensed.. it doesn’t do the first game justice. So i strongly suggest you play it instead AND ALSO since there is no anime for the second game (thankfully).

When you finish Danganronpa 1 and 2, there is an anime called Danganronpa 3 which completes the whole series. While i have strong opinions and criticisms about the anime objectively, i still think it’s worth watching since it’s a conclusion to the series. So if you’re gonna watch it, you’ll have to watch it in a specific order cause there are two arcs: Future Arc and Despair Arc. so you start the series with episode 1 of Future then ep1 of Despair then ep2 future then ep2 despair then follow that pattern til you reach the final episodes then watch the Hope arc which is one episode. 

There is also Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls.. the gameplay of this is different from the DR games (shooter game) so if it’s not your thing then you can just read what happens here or watch a playthrough. 

In theory, you can skip that and still “complete” the story but it does tie some loose ends and it’s still worth at least reading about since there are characters that get developed. This also goes with reading the side novels Danganronpa Zero and Danganronpa Kirigiri (these arent games or anime but literal short novels so yeah)So unlike other gaming series like Final Fantasy (also an all-time fave gaming series of mine; it’s RPG though!), you have to play Danganronpa in order because it is story-based and each sequel connects to the last!

However, the DR Despair train doesnt end there because a new story unfolds. New Danganronpa V3 is getting released on September 26, 2017 which im so hyped for haha. 

TL;DR: Danganronpa is a murder mystery game with incredible characters, iconic plot twists, amazing soundtrack, and outstanding writing. 

It’s like Battle Royale meets CSI meets How to Get Away With Murder if i had to like link the feeling of the game to some popular media. 

But Danganronpa itself is a unique experience and like no other! If you started the game or like this recommendation got you to play the game, then please tell me! I also would love to know who are your fave characters! :D
