>>
No. Now kill yourself.
>>
no
people will post some anime but they are weebs in denial
>>
kids anime like pokemon or digimon
>>

Death note, it's kinda emo but not very weebish at all, it's like a supernatural Dexter, it's known as a good introductory anime as it's basically a western TV show, just animated. Also btooom, but that doesn't look like its getting a second season...

I think the correct question is "Is there anime that would appeal to normal people?" And the answer is yes.

I would start with a classic like Cowboy Bebop and go from there.
>>
Most animes made before the 2000s
>>
>>65363
Almost everything that was on toonami
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell
Samurai Champloo
Space Dandy
Outlaw Star to a certain extent
Monster
And I guess that galactic heroes thing that every weeb praises so much, but I haven't seen it.

Cartoons are regarded differently in NA and are seen as more necessarily juvenile. Stuff like the Lupin III movies are normalcore in Japan.

That said, some of my normalfag friends have voluntarily watched Attack on Titan on Netflix and loved it.

Now and then, here and there.

Space dandy and Cowboy Bebop seem like they're trying to be western

Yeah they are called gateway drug animes, be wary of them, son.

Afro Samurai was decent enough.

He said anime for normal people, I won't recommend K-on and Kiniro Mosaic If he asked for that.

There are but only the shitty ones, all the best anime is weeb:
Belladonna, Angel's Egg, Cat Soup, Yuasa works, Eva, Lain, Utena, Haibane, Texhnolyze, Kon films, Miyazaki films, Takahata films, Ghost in the Shell, FLCL, Beautiful Dreamer, Mononoke, Bebop, Wings of Honneamise and anything by Dezaki.

>Nobody posting "Legend of the Galactic Heroes"
>The most normal anime around
>No cutsie girls with big anime eyes
>No beta or clueless male protagonists
>Discusses the ideals of Autocracy versus Democracy
>No trashy dialogue
>The books and anime was the very definition of "space opera"


It's time you treat yourself to the best anime ever made, OP.

Naruto
Except the anime sucks, read the manga instead

It used to be, but ever since Otaku-faggotry started, the industry has been focused on that target demographic. It has attracted the lowlife faggots and so has been populated by them, which is why it's difficult to make something other than pedophile or cuck shit.

No you dumb /a/ reject as even the so-called "great" series do not so much as graze the aesthetic and philosophical heights of cinema and literature. It's a trash genre made for East Asian teenagers and white manchildren with short attention spans.

Plenty. The only weeb garbage is harem/waifushit and other shows that are super japanese for no reason. That cuts out about 75% of them but there's still plenty left over.

Berkserk
Jojo
Bebop
Shamploo
Trigun
Gurren Lagann
Etc

Check up Black Lagoon.

That's wrong though.

The pirate anime?

what's the anime called where people have special powers and they tend to have horns and colored eye shadow, there's like this chick who has telekinetic powers? I saw a clip once and fucking loved the music but lost it
>>
>>65424
Elfen Lied?
>>
>>65434
naw it was like a team of people and at one point there was a fight scene in a city where one guy is about to hurt another and this woman and guy come to his rescue, they are like jump at him and the guy throws a car at his and the girl swings a light pole before he jumps back and then just smashed into a building by another girl with telekinetic powers

What ever airs on TV and is easily accessible by idiots

The original Hellsing anime is good in that regard. It doesn't have any of the retarded super deformed shit and needless anime-isms that most shows do. It's not as good plot wise as Hellsing Ultimate, but that does have anime-isms and I can't stand those.

Otherwise I'll also recommend Cowboy Bebop. It's essentially an anime that tries to be Western and largely succeeds.

Didn't read to see if it was posted, but, I've always thought Gantz was pretty down to earth. Without spoiling much, and don't get me wrong here, it is very much so a battle anime. But it's got a very dark and relatively somber tone to it. If memory serves (it's been years) the ending is akin to many television series that air today, in a very non-anime kind of way. It's dark shit dude, check it out.

I found it. Also, that's not telekineses she's using, it's more like a Power Word, she uses the name of something as a shortcut for materializing it with magic.
