Tryna watch anime for the very first time. Anyone got recs for a good starter anime?

Genre doesn't really matter much, I'd want a broad range and not just one lane. I'm a sucker for good cyberpunk but honestly anything goes 😭

Niche pulls welcome too. Weird experimental stuff, unique aesthetics, also classics. I like things that are interconnected and narrative more than episodic.

the save-the-peak thing has never once worked on anyone. whatever hits you first becomes the bar and everything after gets measured against it, order doesn't save you. i'd hand him Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, it keeps building on itself which is the exact thing he said he wanted

Nobody's said films yet. Start with Your Name or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, you get a finished story in two hours instead of signing a contract with 200 episodes

Genuinely what do you watch outside anime though. films, games, whatever. that narrows it way more than picking a genre does

@dungeonfable OP 4d ago

films and games mostly. i'll sit through something with a strange look to it way longer than something with a tight plot

@luciakapoor 4d ago

then Sonny Boy is your one, but put your phone in another room for it, it does not wait for you. and five people have answered without touching the cyberpunk part of the ask, Terror in Resonance covers that lane
