anime for the anime n00b?

Absolutely nothing to do for the next 3 weeks, so I've decided for the first time ever to delve into the world of anime.
What's really popular out there?
What are your favorites?
How would I go about watching these animes?
P.S. erotic content is fine (appreciated =D) but only as long as it doesnt take precedence over the plot, so dont give me hentai please.

Keroro gunso

Hmmm, hard to give you something you like without any idea as to your preferences. the titles I'll name will all be significantly different from one another in style

Series:
Great Teacher Onizuka
Samurai Champloo
Cowboy bebop(same director as SC, but episodic)
Rurouni Kenshin
Card Captor Sakura
Fate/Stay night
Serial Experiment Lain
Ranma 1/2
Fruits Basket

Movies:
ghibli shtuff (Princess mononoke(spelling?), spirited away, etc)
Akira(classic, obviously)
Ghost in the shell (1 and 2)

As for picking one you like, search for plot summaries to tell the general genre, but I we can probably steer you better if you'll tell us what you're looking for, for example answer questions like these:

Episodic/epic?

Period? (past/present/future)

Target audience? (G, PG, R)

Humor (serious(completely), intermittant/mild, slapstick)

Action/drama/romance?(all shows have drama I spose, but some have no 'fighting' so to speak).

I dunno, there are probably better metrics for classifying preference, that's just a few off the top of my head. My point with that is that there's a whole lot of popular anime, and if you narrow your aims you might get better results.

Lastly, how to go about watching them... Do you mean how to get them? Well, since the 'popular' anime generally is all lisenced in the US, downloading them is possible, but not legal. Rent/buy/borrow? The movies and fruits basket you can watch with the english sound(dubbed). In general though, if you have an option, subbed is generally considered to be better(because the dubs are generally really terrible voice acting).

As for erotic content with plot, if you mean fan service (randomly seeing characters naked) that happens often enough, if you mean a full on hentai scene worked into an otherwise 'normal' plotline, nothing comes to mind (though I'm not the otaku that some are).

Rugrats

I actually watched Evangelion (+ EoE) first and while it did confuse me, its bizarreness got me interested in anime.

Had I watched one of those boring schoolkids comedy shows people here seem to be so obsessed with first, I'd never have given anime a second chance.

>>5
Well, Evangelion is basically schoolkid(targeted to angsty teenagers) show AND boring. End of Evangelion as movie is interesting and cetainly not boring, but we have to look the series as whole. Just another mecha-anime, but this time it's pseudo-artsy, better than Gundam or shit like that for sure, but not much better.

>>6
You could claim that pretty much 99% of all movies in existence can be enjoyed by schoolkids.

What remains then is some pretentious black and white French pseudo artsy stuff subtitled in Swedish. Enjoy your AIDS?

>>6

most anime is that isn't targeted to children is targeted to angsty teenagers.

>>8
japs arent angsty

>>9
Sure they are. Well, maybe not as worse problem as it's in US, but there are some.
>>8
Such as? Most of "teenager" shows aren't angsty.

>>1,>>3

Not bad, but I take some issues:
>>1 - The following shows will not be appealing if you have a penis or are older than like 15 (I assume you are male and late teens early 20's because you are here on 4chan)
Card Captor Sakura
Ranma 1/2
Fruits Basket

The others are fine.

Outlaw star is a decent low-budget CowboyBebop show.

FullMetal Alchemist was decent, though may be too childish-angsty at some points. Try the manga for that series.

Hellsing was decent, mostly flair, you won't find the meaning of life in it though.

There are some hentai that have coherent plots that aren't totally about sex, but, sex is typically a large part of it. These might meet your criterion, in that the plot isn't just stringing along the sex, there is not rape, etc.
Can Can Bunny Extra is a good "erotic anime" - (think AMG), sex is not TOO graphic

Kohime (I beleive that is the correct spelling) is a short (like 1hr) hentai with an actual plot. Sex is more graphic I wished they had kept going, since they managed to create characters that you might actually care about, but they still did a good job of wrapping it up in two sort episodes.

the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya.


and it's free, since it's not availble in the states, you can legally torrent it

>>12
DIE
DIE
DIE

SHOVE YOUR WEEABOO COMEDY UP YOUR ARSE AND STOP PROMOTING IT IN EVERY SECOND THREAD, BOOB JOKES ARE NOT FUNNY

Naruto= My favorite. (THE FUCKING FILLERS NEED TO END) The dubbed version is horrible, but the real subbed anime is great. There are about 60 episodes of fillers, but about the first 110 or so episodes are filler-free except for 1 or 2 in between. (for those of you who dont know, fillers are really shitty episodes that jump off the storyline for purposes that you dont speed up to the manga too fast.) I recommend this anime. You can watch this, and other animes, on youtube, just by searching "naruto episode #", or you can torrent.

I'm warning you, don't listen to >>14. If you watch Naruto, it will ruin anime for you forever.

Decent shows with decent storylines don't have 100+ episodes.

>>15
usually but not always.
fist of the north star.

FLCL

it was like a gateway anime for most of my friends who watch it now

>>17
FLCL is just confusion and childish humor if you're not used to shit like that.

Fullmetal Alchemist was pretty much my first. I like it quite a bit.

>>13 if you look at Haruhi as a comedy, you're a fucking idiot.

Hmm, let's see...

Outlaw Star got me into anime. It's like a poor man's Cowboy Bebop, but it's fun, simple and great fun. It would be a fantastic show to start with, or you could just go with Cowboy Bebop if you like.

I'd have to say that OS has more of a "Star Wars" feel to it whereas Cowboy Bebop seems to owe more to American Westerns and gangster/mafia films.

Commercially wise
Trigun
Kenshin
Cowboy bebop
Full Metal Alchemist
Anything made by Miyazaki
Ah my goddess
Fushigi Yuugi
Fruit Basket
Evangelion
Slayers (all of it)
Hellsing (was ok)
Escaflowne
Gunsmith Cats
You're Under arrest
Full Metal Panic
Bubble gum Crisis
Vampire Princess Miyu (Do not watch the tv series)
Akira (yes good and bad)
so many to list.. ^^;

Fansub wise.. You can download via bittorrent
Ah my goddess season 2 tv
Ergo Proxy
Fate Stay Night (though it got licensed)
Blood +
Eureka Seven (got licensed)
Bleach (can miss gap fillers here and there)
Naruto (gap fillers must DIE!)
The Third
Le Chevalier D`Eon {looks very good)
Inukami (ecchi comedy)
Kiba
Tsubasa Chronicles
Utawarerumono (or people on 4chan call Underwater Ray Ramono)
Zegapain

Anime to avoid
Naruto Gap fillers
Me My I strawberry eggs
Blood movie
DBZ (any show where it takes them 5-10 eps just for 1 fight has problems)
Soul Link
Cluster Edge
Gasaraki (it was cool when they talked about their past lives but when it got to the modern time I kept falling asleep)
Vampire Princess Miyu tv
Alot of 1 shot movies tend to be horribly bad.
Anything Based on a video game is often horrible.

I´d recommend Azumanga Daioh.

Ichigo Mashimaro

oh and Full Moon wo Sagashite.

Taboo Charming Mother

Why has nobody mentioned Makoto Shinkai's movies yet .(

Watch Voices of a Distant Star (Hoshi no Koe 【ほしのこえ】) in Japanese with subtitles. Cry. 30 minutes.
Then, watch The Place Promised in our Early Days (Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho 【雲の向こう、約束の場所】) in Japanese with subtitles. This one didn't make me cry. 2 hours.

The OSTs to both are very nice

popotan

Genshiken. Perfect first anime since it's an anime about anime and I'm pretty sure it hasn't been licensed so it's legal to torrent it.

Alternatively, FLCL, Azumanga Daioh, or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Bible Black

+5 points if it has tentacles...

Urotsukidoji, an awesome eroanime based on the manga by Toshio Maeda.  One of the anime masterpieces of the 80s.

Avoid the new one unless you are a sick furryfucking bastard.

a Italia arreglo 15 partidos de liga , 5 clubes importantes involucrados, altos funcionarios involucrados, resultado a la fifa le valio monda no los castigo internacionalmente , y como premio se les ayuda contra australia y se les da la copa mundial , a los involucrados como fabio cappelo se le da la direccion tecnica del real madrid y al equipo que coincidentemente habia tenido como presidente al ex primer ministro de italia berlusconi no se le deciende ni se le hace nada,esa es la mierda de justicia italiana

Um, it's a little bit hard to answer your thread considering the topic is "anime for the anime n00b?" then asks me for my favourites which most likely wouldn't be all that appropriate for a newbie but I'll just say what I like anyway:

-Legend of Galactic Heroes
-any of the original Gundam series/movie/ovas i.e. set in Universal Century, has Char Aznable, not filled with Yaoi crap, etc
-Kimagure Orange Road
-Touch
-Urusei Yatsura
-Maison Ikkoku
-Ranma 1/2
-FLCL
-Excel Saga
-Puni Puni Poemy
-Captain Harlock
-Most of the Lupin III stuff
-Akira
-Super Dimensional Fortress Macross
-Otaku no Video
-Bubblegum Crisis
-Cowboy Bebop
-Serial Experiments Lain
-Boogiepop Phantom
-Guu
-Patlabor

...and that should be enough for now. I think you'll find that a lot of the stuff I mentioned there are mostly either ancient/a bit dated or somewhat confusing for a casual viewer. If you want something that's popular at the moment you should probably go watch something like Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece or Inuyasha. Watch them if you're the type who completely bypasses great anime just because it wasn't made within the past 7 years or so. Oh and I don't want to start an arguement or anything but watch subs unless you really want to be an anime n00b in which case you might prefer dubs - only anime n00bs watch dubs.

Full moon wo Sagashite.

Lunar Legend Tsukihime

I don't care if its licensed in the usa. I live in europe and I can download whatever I want legally as long as its for personal use.
I love swedish law :)

My advice is....

Azumanga Daioh <<-- slapstick in middle school
Serial Experiments Lain <<-- mindfucker
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien <<-- Drama (made me (guy) cry, THAT good)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya <<-- just good/mindfucker
Rozen Maiden <<-- made me wake up out of my bedroom and actually started going back to school.
Rozen Maiden Traumend <<-- 2e serie of above
Elfen Lied <<-- Serious Action
Haibane Renmei <<-- created by Yoshitoshi ABe (says enough IMO)
Hellsing <<-- Vampiric drama
Kanon <<-- romantic drama
My Hime <<-- Drama, with fantasy and a tip of romance
Princess Mononoke <<-- Adventure drama


Well, there are more but I can't be arsed to copy/paste them :)
ow and look in this site for more information about the anime
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php

>>41
Hellsing = Vampiric DRAMA and Elfen Lied is ACTION? Hellsing had many dramatic elements, but it was more action oriented and often those dramatic elements were used to enchange action. Elfen Lied on the otherhand is kind of like drama, harem and action(although not so much). I would describe bizarre mix as harem series for gore lovers and I liked it.

>>42
Seconded. I was just to lazy to post it.

>>41 Rozen Maiden <<-- made me wake up out of my bedroom and actually started going back to school.

I lolled so hard.

does anyone use www.animedvice.com ?

Watch Urotsuki Doji, it's the best OVA made in the 80s.

>>46
Not really, but it's certainly one of best if not the best hentai movie ever.

>>47
In fact, it is the hardest hentai movie known to man. What would happen if it collided with End of Evangelion at 400 mph?

Why not go to the AniDB site - you can list animes that users have rated the highest quite easily, and sort by genre etc.  Being a n00b or not doesn't make much difference after you've watched a couple of shows

>>49
Of course, the point of that other site seems to be "find anime liked by people who also liked x".

Trigun is a pretty good one.

Trigun is mainstream trash

>>47,48
I WATCHED IT FOR THE SUPERIOR ACTION (NOT THE KIND OF ACTION YOU SICK FUCKS WILL THINK OF FIRST) SEQUENCES YOU SONS OF BITCHES OH AND ALSO THE NUKES LOOKED BETTER THAN IN AKIRA THERE I SAID IT

ALSO IT IS CALLED EROANIME NOT HENTAI YOU BAKA

>>53
yet another idiot using japanese in the middle of a english sentence to sound cool, and it IS called hentai, so YOU'RE the idiot asshole

>>54
No, you.  Our Japanese overlords laugh at us when we call eroanime hentai.

>>54

Baka.... hentai....... eroanime.... whatever, yu0 assinine Otaku. go back to tokyo on the bum train and sleep out with Shinjuku bums

How about some pointers for a fansub noob?   I see all those torrents on dead frog and have never heard of any of the shows so don't know where to start. 

>>22

Thanks for this.  Can any others suggest some?

>>57
Hokuto no Ken, just recently finished!

There's a massive 28GB torrent on boxtorrents, and probably something else somewhere else.
