I'm sure you get at least a dozen threads like this every day /wsr/, but if you'll have the patience to hear me out, my situation is this:
I haven't watched any anime. Ever. Well, I do remember watching some Pokémon, Dragon Ball and possibly other stuff when I was very young, but I can only remember disjointed scenes now.
I would like to try out some anime shows, possibly avoiding the ones that are outright crap, to see if I like them. I've flicked through some recommendation charts on the /a/ wiki, but there's so much stuff it's quite hard for me to make a choice given that it's a field I know next to nothing about.
I vaguely understand that things like Evangelion or Madoka are supposed to be good, but I don't know by which standard, or if they're any good for a beginner.
Here are some general guidelines for things I might like, but don't feel too tied down by them:
1- Ideas: I'd like something with imaginative sci-fi and/or fantasy concepts that inspire sense of wonder. Bonus points for interesting settings and compelling internal mythologies.
2- Characters: Well-developed characters are always good. I don't care if the cast is predominantly male or female or whatever, as long as the characters are interesting and empathetic, and evolve over the course of the show.
3- Plot: Something with a good strong plot is always appreciated. It would be nice to avoid shows that have really unsatisfactory endings or leave dozens of loose ends dangling (the 2000s version of Battlestar Galactica is a good example of a show that I mostly enjoyed, but whose ending I really hated).
Thanks in advance.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's something that I feel is basically the best for anyone that's just coming into anime and it fits all three of your "guidelines". It's 64 episodes long, but it's got everything from great animation to a loveable cast of characters to great world-building. Highly recommend it above all else.
If you don't want to jump in head-first into a 64-episode show, definitely watch some of the Ghibli movies. Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, Spirited Away, The Cat Returns, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, and others are all fantastic watches. They all have really interesting worlds and great characters. They're basically the Japanese equivalent of Disney.
Evangelion and Madoka have deeper and more symbolic ways of telling its story and its characters, but if you've watched more than a few movies in your lifetime (and not the Michael Bay kind), then you should be fine watching either of them.
Some general recommendations that are good, but might not be "newcomer friendly" that I don't want to write a paragraph about (I love them all though). The ones that are probably newcomer friendly even though all of them probably are, I'll star just for convenience:
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Steins;Gate
Cowboy Bebop*
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (Specifically Bloodlust, the first movie's not so good.)
Steamboy
Tokyo Godfathers*
Gurren Lagann*
Code Geass
Redline*
Sword of the Stranger* (This one's pretty violent.)
Enjoy.
>>129988
just start by watching naruto
>>129988
>something with imaginative sci-fi and/or fantasy concepts interesting settings and compelling internal mythologies.
always a good start is Neon Genesis Evangelion and after that watch the movie The End of Evangelion.
more sci-fi classics
Akira (movie post-apocalyptic)
Ghost in the Shell (movie sci-fi future & artificial intelligence)
Cowboy Bebop (futuristic bounty hunters tv series + movie)
Samurai Champloo (hip-hop style + feudal japan samurais from the director of bebop)
although i started watching anime series that most people consider "crap" (stuff like elfen lied, amagami ss, claymore, etc) i still think that was very clever since once you get into the "high-quality" series it gets difficult to enjoy the low-tier ones.
I have a few questions about this program Easy Binder 2.0. I understand that is program is specifically about creating malware and merging viruses with other legitimate files. Are these programs legal??? I have taken an interest in "Ethical Hacking" learning about how malware is created, and I cannot for the life of me, find this program anywhere. If it was uploaded on Mediafire to download, it immediately gets taken down. The only downloads that I do find are loaded with viruses themselves. I am not looking for where to download, I kind of already gave up, I just want to know now if the programs by themselves are illegal or not.
Yeah I kinda figured I wouldn't get a response..... This is completely out of your IQ level...... The only thing people seem to care about on 4chan is anime and porn.... and more porn.... and porn.
>>130005
wow aren't you pretensious. gtfo of 4chan and never come back
So... Where can I watch this?
I want to get into the monogatary series. I've been looking around trying to figure out where to start, and it seems that this is it.
I've tried to find it subbed but so far I've only found the preview in places like kissanime and such.
For those that have seen it or that know where to do so, please help. Thanks!
It's not subbed anywhere because it's only been showed in theaters, the BD will come out in like four months, then you get to wait another week and watched it once commie subs it like they always do.
Also that's not the place to start the series, watch Bakemonogatari.
The Kizu bluray won't be released until the 27th July, so there's 2 months left.
Can someone change the red eyes to a nice blue shade? Will post pic of what I want, Plus Minus

So im trynna chop and screw some old memphis shit on FL Studio. How do i use fruity parametric eq 2 to bring in the bass at a later point in the song that isnt the beginning? Also, how do i slow down the tempo correctly so that all the lines match up? I guess i just gotta find the tempo of the whole song right? How would i do that then?
Could someone answer my goddamn fucking question for one singular fucking time jesus christ
>>129151
i'd like to help, but i'm still trying to work out what "trynna chop and screw some old memphis shit" means. is there anyone there who speaks english?
>>129199
Shut that mouth of yours man the only slang i used in that whole sentence is using shit instead of some other word. If the entire sentence all of a sudden doesnt make sense because you cant figure out how to associate shit with the rest of the sentence then fucking slit your throat.
Chopped and Screwed is a style where you slow down the tempo of a song and add dj effects and/or add some more patterns to the song.
Heres an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en89kwc-_tk
I've tried the first 20 pages of google to no avail. I cannot for the life of me find an english translation of Marmalade Boy Little that goes past chapter 14.

Tell us more about yourself/the on who wants to watch anime. We need to know more, to provide better recommendation.
>>130028
i like adventure and a long, confusing plot
>>130029
Confusing plot is in Code Geass. Pretty nice.
If about adventure, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the shit you are looking for.
I dunno if they are on netflix tho. But should be.
I'm looking for anime along the lines of SoL, boy meets girl -> drama -> love type of animes.
an example would be chuunibyou
So I guess Comedy Romance Drama Slice of Life genres
This is gonna be pretty silly if I hit, but did you watch toradora? It's pretty fun to watch, and plenty of drama.
Strawberry Panic.
Because yuri a love.
