    I find that if you want good anime recommendations, the recommendation must come from someone that doesn’t like anime. Anime fans tend to be really out of touch with certain baselines… like not being an open pervert.(I’ve seen that hentai hoodie, don’t lie.) Also people who don’t like anime can distinguish between “good for an anime” and “good”.

    So I offer mine: Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Spirited Away.

      I completely agree with this.

      I’m not an ‘anime fan,’ but there is good anime out there like Paprika and Aku no Hana. They really push what the medium is capable of and don’t just rely on tropes to appease people with low standards.

      It’s tough to recommend anime to some people because their opinion of the medium has been tainted by anime fans that will accept whatever slop is shoveled in front of their face.

      As a not anime fan, mine were Samurai Champloo, Bleach (though I stopped 100 episodes in), Cowboy Bebop. Also all of Ghibli.

      After giving the medium a chance, not sure I wouldn’t call myself a fan anymore, but I certainly take issues with the typically associated tropes. So here’s my list of more recent shows with either very little or none of these.

      Solo leveling Hells paradise Chainsaw man Jujutsu kaisen Demon slayer

      Vinland saga Attack on titan

      Dan DA dan

      Bluelock

      Hunter x hunter Spy family Bocchi the rock Apothecary diaries
