faggots from /a/ redirected me here

---

i saw a few anime a decade ago and really liked them (Cowboy Bebop mostly). i'm trying to get back into anime so i watched Attack on Titan and it was great.

then i decided to watch some of the more popular animes on imdb

just finished watching princess mononoke and it sucked.

here are some that are on the list i'm about to watch:

- spirited away (looks gay as fuck)
- grave of the fireflies (looks good, but more "WW2 was sad" shit)
- My Neighbor Totoro (all my nerd friends like it but it looks gay as fuck)
- Howl's moving castle (looks gay)

Is this the best anime has to offer?

Don't watch anime if you don't like things that look gay is a good rule of thumb I'd say. It's not for everybody.

First of all, what genres are you interested?

Second of all, what regular movies, shows have you liked.

And please, stop trying to call everything gay. You have to give reasons why it sucked so I can better recommend you what to watch.

Just stick with shounen and you will be fine. Try to avoid films/series with realistic and nuanced characters with a heavy emphasis on emotion because it'd probably just make you angry. Alternatively kill yourself.

like i said, i really liked some anime like Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Inuyasha, The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball Z, etc.

but princess mononoke was cancer.

i just started on my neighbor totoro and it looks like the same type of crap. kinda bummed... =[

anyone have suggestions for good anime based off my preferences above?

All you're doing is listing extremely popular and mainstream titles. Stuff literally everyone has seen. People can't really estimate what your tastes might be from them. It's like asking people for movie recommendations and listing ten most popular movies of this decade as examples of movies you liked, you know?

So what exactly are you looking for? What kind of genres do you have in mind? What do you like?
Anime literally just means Japanese animation, aka Japanese cartoons. You have romance anime, comedy anime, action anime, mystery anime, "psychological" anime, porn anime, softcore porn anime, etc. etc. etc.

What sort of stuff do you generally like? What themes and genres interest you generally, outside of anime?

>what exactly are you looking for?
maybe some darker/more realistic type stuff. it doesn't have to be hyper realistic (some fantasy aspects are great like space travel in Cowboy bebop or using swords and crap in Attack on titan)

>You have romance anime, comedy anime, action anime, mystery anime, "psychological" anime, porn anime, softcore porn anime, etc. etc. etc.

i suppose action is cool. it'd be nice if it had a good story though

What about some Christmas themed anime, then?
Gundam: War in the Pocket ("0080"), is a pretty short series, only six episodes long, so roughly two hours of your time. You don't need to be familiar with the main Gundam setting or even be a huge fan of mecha to enjoy it, and it's generally considered to be one of the better entries in the Gundam franchise.
