GitS original movie is pretty good choice Blue Submarine No. 6 and Battle Fairy Yukikaze both pretty easy to get to cool OVA. Gundam 0080 Gundam 08 MS Nadesico Old series that's pretty good choices, though not as shiny. Or you can try Ichigo Mashimaro... definitely try Ichigo Mashimaro | ||

And some things are a bit more sad than if you didn't know what was going to happen afterwards. I was thinking of getting my brother into anime, but it might be a tough task. Generally I'd think FMA or something to make someone get into anime, but since we watched Spirited Away/Howl's Moving Castle together a few years ago, Mushishi might be a good one. Thoughts? Also new Nisekoi pretty hilarious, looking forward to the next chapter :D I got my friend into anime by showing him LOGH, I would say it's a great gateway anime (even if it is cheating to start with arguably the best). | ||

Then I eventually watched more Miyazaki's films, went into gits and paprika and after that point i was already downloading multiple similiar animes. Then I found about all nice moes too. | ||

VN did it better though. I said I wanted the connection earlier. We're supposed to have a good idea of the person he is, and why he acts the way he does, before (or almost immediately after) he does those questionable actions. It doesn't work at all if you reveal his background + Show Spoiler + when the show is almost 3/4s the way done. By this point I had no longer cared about his motivations. Not to mention I know what happened in the episodes themselves, as I skimmed them, so it's not as though I didn't understand him. I just felt at this point it was too late. Also said I haven't watched the anime in years, so I've largely forgotten it. | ||

T_T Edit: Mushishi isn't that good of a gateway anime imo. Rofl I "discovered" anime the same way, watched Black Lagoon on ZTV  But yeah I'm uncertain of how to do it, hm dont really know what he might like outside of more ghibli films. On another note: 4 episodes of Nekomonogatari Kuro on New Years. So Jan 1st or so for me. What better way to start a year? :D | ||

Hanekawa AND Senjougahara (sorry Araragi fans if he has any). edit: of course we all love Arararararagi but I still liked White for not being from his PoV. | ||

Kabuki was the only book w/ Araragi narration in season 2 books. Makes sense that I didn't know then if you take a quick look at what is and isn't translated.... edit: omg some fansubbers are clearly genius. Yeah, of course the text of the song playing in the background is much more important than the actual conversation between characters... | ||

SOOOO excited for it. crowbar is supposed to be stuck in his bed the entire conversation. It's being blocked by some chair or they're just purposely leaving it out in preview. Can't wait for that Tsukihi banter though! Tsukihi crowbar better live up to my expectations. | ||
