My mom has watched Ghibli films with me, but I did get her to watch Maquia, turned to me during the emotionally pivotal moment at the end of the film and said “I hate you” with tears in her eyes. Still very proud of this moment lol

Gigguk's editor is always putting in some fantastic work

[Flash-FireCC]

Hearing the words "Are all anime like this?" just pierces through the heart unlike anything else

Edit: Holy smokes thanks for the likes! May you guys who experienced the tragedy rest in peace.

My dad was older (just passed at 85) and he mostly watched anime with me just because I commandeered the tv. His 3 favorites were "Gunslinger Girl", "Spirited Away", and "Nana". No consistency but damn good taste.

Thank you including a japanese dub of "never gonna give you up" in the romance pick, didn't think I needed that lmao.

[Nachocheese]

Moment you said A Silent Voice, i got flashbacks to when I recommended the movie to my parents and my mom went "it's so horrible, the things that happened in the movie were so messed up". I was like, "yes, that's the point, but that's the beauty of it, learning and growing from the mistakes of it". She did not listen lol

I didn't expect Garnt to make a video specifically for new fans but I like it.

I"m quite surprised that Horimiya didn"t got mentioned as a starter romance. I find it to be the most inoffensive and sweet romance show.

Considering I just recently heard the "oh those are those weird japanese cartoons right?" the 'no anime bs' rule definitely is a good one to include

[goyo_heh]

Aot is a very safe but fair pick, I don’t know a single person that hasn’t gotten completely obsessed about it since they’ve watched it. It’s so good.

[uddaloknag]

A Silent Voice is an excellent movie. It is such an excellent movie that I find it hard to convince people to read the manga, which believe it or not, is even better. Not because Kyoto did a bad job in any way, but because they had the thankless job of adapting 64 chapters into a two hour long movie, and they pulled it off far better than I could have imagined. But I would still suggest people who are into reading manga to give this one a go, even though you have watched the movie.

Easily one of the easiest animes to get into for a veteran or a new person in the scene or someone who is skeptic towards anime has to be Vinland Saga. It's easy to understand, has a coherent story, nice animations, a historical inspired story so it's pretty good with it's world building and the characters will grab you quite fast and change overtime very nicely.

Personally I introduced my mom to anime using Arcane since it’s got some of the "codes" of an action anime while still being close to a regular live action show - you know, so that she could slowly get used to it - and then I watched Cyberpunk with her.



Oh and I once caught my dad watching Food Wars in the living room, so I guess my family was pretty easy to convert.

[ronelwynne]

I always use fma brotherhood for shounen because it fully represents the balance of the action, emotion and comedy

[mightnotmagic]

A silent voice is such a perfect pick for drama i couldnt agree more, its the best romance anime ever made imo. id give horimiya the romance spot tho.

[chatonneish]

Your list is so spot-on!! I love your emphasis on keeping "anime bullshit" to a minumum when recommending shows to newcomers. Some shows are awesome, but they really shouldn't be entry points because anime bullshit can be really off-putting (even for seasoned fans).

[FGTutorials]

I love when editors add in tracks you'd never expect, the one from Hellsing OST was a great pick ^^

[Karol___]

not sure if my dad got into anime, but last year when I was visiting my parents I put on Vinland Saga wanting to rewatch it, he saw like an episode or something with me, but when I woke up next morning and I saw him watching it by himself I was super surprised. We watched it together and he was disappointed when it ended cuz 24 eps wasn't enough. Can recommend VS for all the dads out there.

Gotta love Garnt's audience trolling him at every opportunity while he's trying to give a serious presentation on why he picked each anime.
