Feed Me Your Wretched Anime Suggestions

You could watch a season of Natsume Yuujinchou to see if you'd like it.
It is a slice of life, mystery and paranormal.
It is very...japanese? In a more natural-cultural sense. The stories are both intriguing and calming at the same time, the general premise is great, the music is top tier for anything that is calm.
Oftentimes when I watch an anime I think - hey, why am I watching this adaptation when the manga will give me the same experience with less time wasted? Here, however, it feels very different. The music, the color palette, the overall breezy feel of it just makes me relax and forget about all the cares in this world.
It is a very special anime to me and even my family so I think not recommending it here would be a mistake.
 
Hey Bambu, would Halo Legends count for this kind of selection process? Technically most of it is anime but not all of it.

well that's the secret, ain't it

all of it is an excuse to give anime it's fair shot, to not be close minded to a style of art I generally dislike

I am given recommendations for whatever content people deem as good, I give it a cursory look over and say "sure, looks great" or condemn it

Overlord passed the cursory look over, I ain't even need to look hard to tell you Re:Zero doesn't

You just completely ruined his chance of watching the funniest anime of all time. No one is watching off of this description 😭

Yeah the comedy and action is pretty great
But Idk how to describe it other than that.. It's literally just the show lol
Edit: Oh also it's from the same guy who made Cowboy Bebop, but considerably different from it besides the fact that both have good animation, fights and comedy.

Probably some flavor of fantasy. I don't really judge from genre, any genre can dip into my tastes. I enjoy the macabre but that isn't a defining property of what I'd enjoy- if you knew my favorite movies you would get it, but I don't wanna belt out a bunch of those right now to the anime fans. I've also been considering just taking the best slice of life piece for a long time now. I don't hate simplicity. Simple can be nice. But I'd want it to be something that goes against the standard tropes- no arbitrary isekai stuff, no dumb protagonist who is inexplicably attractive enough to get a harem despite us being told he's a "total loser" or whatever. I don't need hyper-intelligent content but I think most anime is written with horribly bad dialogue, like practically only worth watching as a kid. The dialogue means a lot. That's all I got right now.

Precure season 20 (Hirogaru Sky) has some of that. Mostly untwists, though.

I'd suggest Looking Up to Magical Girls/Gushing Over Magical Girls, but I think you'd hate the MC more than I do.

... Why the hell is  that your first idea to recommend to someone who doesn't like anime? Actually, why is  that something you try to recommend to people at all? You should, at the very least learn someone's tastes and tolerance for... very uncomfortable scenes first before recommending something like that.

Can't imagine that I would? Manga hinges a lot more on the art style of the given thing being very good, and the only one that has ever really impressed me was Berserk.

But the style/how well is the drawing or also the comics?

If you've never read Webtoons or Manhua, I recommend picking one up, just to have the experience of reading it from top to bottom.

In moments of fight/high speed it's really good, because they use top-down strokes to give the impression of movement/speed.

Although sometimes you will have to read with your head on one side.

Have you seen the One Punch Man art? It's actually amazing I'd say

I would view manga as something of a fallback if the given anime is just bad, and never once does it justice, aye? Berserk, I've only ever heard that the anime has failed to properly portray it. One Punch Man, people seem to like the anime. If I were to consume One Punch Man as a suggestion, I'd see little reason to consume the manga rather than the anime (especially when it's like. just so silly? better to consume silly as a video)

I don't mean to be mean but webtoon stuff is maybe the ugliest format available imo. I don't read stuff for the fights, I don't enjoy the concepts I have heard from webtoons (we're talking stuff like The Gamer and Tower of God, right?), it's just not my cup of tea at all.

If the topic must shift to "what can we maybe get Bambu to read in terms of graphic novels", I've only ever read one, that being The Marquis (which is incredibly, very good, great art). I do want to get around to reading Kill Six Billion Demons, too, but I never have mustered the energy. You guys know my tastes aside from these, so uh. Stuff like that, ig.

Me when "The Boxer" solos
 
maybe it will be taken as a boon to the genre that I dislike it (this is frequently the interpretation, one figures) but the Boxer looks little different

revel in my hatred, interpret it as a blessing, and should the day come when YOU want a suggestion, watch Mad God
 
From what I'm observing here, let's take the Fate franchise for example, for someone like Bambu, I would recommend a single anime out of quite a few movies and animes, and that is Fate/Zero.

Why? It just flat-out dodges the failings of other Fate works(Confusing story, OHMYGOD amounts of horni, etc) and instead focuses on the story it can tell without making you question was King Arthur is a chick here.

If it is Anime that is good BECAUSE it is anime and flashy, I wouldn't give it to Bambu to look at. This is a guy who likes Dungeons and Dragons and pre-WoD World of Warcraft, most of that crap doesn't have pretty lights and explosions to look at and instead focuses on it's story over the effects-- Overlord has somewhat infamously shitty CGI, but the story is what makes it good, not how big of a crater Ainz can make.

That is to say don't ******* recommend him One Punch Man that is a recipe for disaster, it's story in the anime in no way holds up to, let's say, Arthas' story, what makes people really like it is that it gets the effects right, but that splatter of blood Saitama just made of this rando monster isn't telling a story other then emphasizing to you that Saitama is bored of being overpowered for the thousandth time.

TLDR: I'd go for story-based anime here, flashy does you no good.

Side note: I wouldn't recommend Ghost Stories Dub either, because while yes, it is funny, there's no real story to tell and you have to apsolutely be on the edgy end of a sense of humor to care for the jokes.
