Just to clarify, he hated anime for the whole first year that I met him, and then after 5 weeks he's openly watching it.
What should I recommend to him, /r9k/? He still hates overly cute stuff, so no Moe blobs just yet.
Also yes I did just copy this entire post from /a/ after someone told me to post here instead.

If he's never watched anime, run him through the basic shonen jump shit. Can't go wrong with dbz, yuyu hakusho, etc
>>27123053
One Punch Man is a fun one. Blue exorcist. SAO. Most of the Miyazaki movies are good.
>>27123053
>No moe blobs
Daily live of highschool boys is a good gateway to blobs.

Solid idea, thanks.
>>27123102
I actually forgot to mention that he's watching OPM. I'll show him Blue Exorcist and Ghibli. Also >SAO
>>27123105
Good idea, seems like his style of humor.
>>27123125
Oh and Berserk. You know because manly gore fest.
>>27123053
Force him to watch the single greatest Japanese animation created in our time.
Chunibyo demo koi ga shitai.
Obligatory JoJo and Berserk
oh and Welcome to the NHK
>>27123171
Anime, Movies, or Manga?
Honestly I couldn't stand the Anime because of how many times it went into fucking powerpoint presentation animation mode so I never finished it, but the movies cut a lot of stuff and look bad. :/

>>27123188
Solid recommendations, thanks. I have no idea how I forgot about JoJo.

Berserk Golden age arc. looks better than the old one, and they're still making them. Manga is superior, 350+ chapters, and they're still making them.

Only good way to ingest berserk is reading it tbhwyf
>>27123269
I agree, my biggest complaint with the anime is that they didn't just follow the manga.
>>27123200
oh also Parasyte the maxim
>>27123288
The anime was made in 95
It followed what the manga was up to at that point didn't it?
>>27123053
berserk
any edgy shit out there
Reminds me of one of my closest friends, who used to hate every and all anime for years. Then just a couple of years ago, he got gate'd after watching a certain series I introduced him into. That anime, my friends, wasGirls und Panzer
But yeah, recommend anything from current top-10 and season hot topics. Also, Death Parade.
Psycho-Pass, KilllaKill and Gurren Laggan are all pretty entry level besides shonen like this anon suggested >>27123086
>>27123795
Don't forget Hajime no Ippo.
>>27123722
he must READ if he watches that
>>27123269
>Reading it
Only if I can listen to this while I do so

I think that author got bored with Berserk. Practically plot leads no where. TIme between chapters is extremely long.
>>27123992
You can listen to basically anything by this band since the majority of their songs are literally about berserk, especially their new album
