I still dont get anime. There are like 2 or 3 that I've watched, but I can't really get into it.
That's like saying you don't get movies, or cartoons. You're just not watching the genres you'd like.
Ok, what would you recommend? If it helps, the stuff I did like was the promised neverland, chainsaw man, and some of full metal alchemist.
Start with cowboy bebop.
I see this recommended all the time to people just getting into anime, but I've found that if someone doesn't get anime they really won't mesh with a hyperviolent and slow paced slice-of-life. I think it's the same thing as people that insist Akria (or buckaroo banzai) makes sense - once you're on your 30th rewatch, have the manga and read enough reviews about it, you lose the perspective of someone new discovering it for the first time.
Said as someone who dismissed anime for years because I figured it was all self indulgent wank like bebop (I love it now, but boy is it not a great intro to the genre)
Why is this so good?
One punch man, samurai champloo, cowboy bebop, and trigun are great action shows
I'm not a huge anime buff but try more mature ones. Gantz and Tokio ghoul come to mind.
The Tokyo Ghoul anime post-s1 is a rushed mess lol.
Which is a shame cuz the manga is fucking fantastic
Darker than black is a real good one along those lines, full dub too
I feel it's same way with people that enjoy series for example, different strokes for different folks, I grew with dbz it was huge where I lived to the point kids would skip classes to watch it, so watching anime grew from that, I don't enjoy shows like Game of Thrones or things like Family Guy, but there's others of the same genre that I do watch, again preferences do matter, maybe you won't enjoy an anime series but maybe you will just a movie something like Redline, Spirited Away...
What I'm trying to say is don't feel pressured into liking it, do you.
I don't feel pressured, ive just tried it a few times and could really get what made people like it so much.
