    Question Anime You Would Not Recommend to Newbies

    We started talking about anime we would recommend to somebody who never watched anime before. Now let’s talk about anime you would NEVER recommend to a newbie.

    I am not talking about anime which is crappy, awful, or just plain bad. I am talking about good anime. Maybe even classic anime. Maybe even one of your personal favorites. But for whatever reason, and I want you to give the reason, you would not recommend to anyone not familiar with the genre.

    My choices:

    Elfin Lied. This is a popular anime series. Some consider it a classic. But it contains graphic nudity, violence by and against children, and at least one scene depicting pedophilia. I’m afraid a newbie will watch this and come away thinking that all anime, and its viewers, are sick. Actually, I know quite a few people who would draw this conclusion.

    FLCL. There’s no question that the two sequels, FLCL Progressive and FLCL Alternate, should not be viewed by anyone. They are that bad. But the original FLCL is one of the great series of all time. It is one of the best, if not the best, "dumb but fun" anime series ever. Why would I not recommend this series to a first time anime viewer? Because one of the things FLCL does so well is that it spoofs anime itself. I don’t believe anyone can fully appreciate FLCL unless they are already somewhat versed in anime. I would, however, highly recommend this series after our inexperienced friend has about a dozen anime series under his/her belt.

    Boogiepop Phantom. This series is one of my favorites, but it may be too much for many experienced viewers, let alone a first-timer. Not only are the episodes not in chronological order, but the scenes within each episode are not in chronological order. It took me more than a half-dozen viewings, with the original dub and subtitles, and the English dub, to figure out what was going on. It was well worth my time to stick with the series, but I doubt a newbie would have that much patience.

    What are your choices, and explain why. Re-read the second paragraph above before you post.

    So you have an anime virgin on your hands, and you would like to introduce him/her to the world of anime. You show them Elfin Lied, a popular classic anime, and you come across this scene:



    Your newbie will probably come away thinking that anime is sick, those who produce anime are sick, those who watch anime are sick, and you are sick. If this is their first frame of reference, who can blame them.

    Although, I remember growing up with kids who are not too far removed from what we see in this scene. No kidding!

    Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

    Gintama, it is very funny but has too many references to other anime series that newbie obviously hasn't watched.

    That's similar to the reason I would not recommend FLCL. It spoofs anime and manga quite a bit, and I feel the uninitiated would not appreciated so much. I would recommend it later on. I would guess you would do the same with Gintama.

    I have never seen Gintama, but it looks like what I call Dumb, but Fun. I would ask what the plot is, but somehow I get the feeling that is important.



    Did I see at least three visual references to Dragonball Z?

    The story, if you can find it, is not important to FLCL either. That may throw a few newbies off.

    Boogiepop Phantom is one of my favorites because of its darkness. But even anime veterans, let alone newbies, would have a hard time following an anime with such an unorthodox narrative style. Only newbies may not have the patience to view and review several times over.

    One of many slice of life anime shows. I love them, and they do help me reflect an ideal world. Basically, they are quite calming. But sadly, it is not everyone's cup of tea.

    I guess you would not recommend a slice of life to someone who is into violent action movies. But what about someone like yourself?

    Not without knowing in advance, at least. I do recommend Hitori Bocchi, for example, and more or less quite often! But usually I am used to being in the minority. That's fine, still! With this answer I leave an example as well, Bocchi is a must protect girl, after all. Recently read the manga as well, and I keep my word. It is very pure in all its shapes and forms.

    Nooo... nothing I enjoyed. There were some that sucked, but nothing I liked would I not invite newbies,. random strangers, children... but then I have very low moral fiber.

    Its one of those ultra violent OVAs from the 80s and 90s. "the first OVA is centered around a young girl named Elaine, and details the development and creation of a "Genocyber", an ultimate biological weapon created by combining the powers and consciousness of two psychic sisters. The project is directed by a mad scientist and funded by the Kuryu Group, a huge Japanese corporation that is a world leader in military research."

    KonoSuba. It's such a fun anime, but as a parody series, it's a lot better once you've seen enough Isekai anime for some of the jokes and tropes to hit right.

    Most other stuff I'd recommend from what I've seen, aside from stuff that's bad in a way that isnt even entertaining *cough* absolute duo *cough*

    If I understand what you are saying, you would not recommend KonoSuba for the same reason I would not recommend FLCL to a newbie. You need to be more familiar with anime before fully appreciating it.
