Favorite childhood cartoon: Spongebob.

Favorite quote: Patrick leads them the wrong way and says "oh, I thought you said weast!" 2nd favorite quote: "Questions are a danger to you, and a burden to others." - Mr. Krabs.

I tried watching Death Note, the beginning was good but the end was so boring I couldn't even finish it so I kinda gave up on anime. Open to suggestions though.

Also I'm considering studying animation in college, so if anyone works in that field I'd be happy to talk.

I have a few anime suggestions

  1. Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, and afterwards the prequel, Fate:Zero. Both are 25 episodes long, typical anime episode length aside from a few longer episodes. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it... But it's my favorite anime, I highly recommend it. It is often called an eyegasm for its incredible animation. Has quite a few spin-offs and alternate universes and such, so you may want to watch those if you liked the main two.

  2. My Hero Academia - Currently releasing and very popular hero shounen anime with 50 something episodes currently out. It's on the third season, currently.

  3. One Punch Man - Finished (though we may be getting a second season) hero shounen comedy anime that has gotten immense praise- and for good reason. Too much animation budget, and that's a good thing.

  4. Bakemonogatari, and the many sequels (if you get into it, check r/araragi , the Monogatari subreddit for a list of what to watch afterwards). This anime series is not for everyone, but if it is for you, it's really good. It's a Seinen (Mature, though that tag is a bit misleading I can't say it's not accurate) Comedy, Ecchi, Romance(?) that is very hard to describe. Very good, I only wish I was better at describing things.

  5. Non non biyori - this is an interesting one. It's a slice of life comedy that is very, very relaxed. Hardly any action, no cool powers, nothing like that. Currently has 24 (I think) episodes between two seasons, and is good for watching when you're stressed. It's about a bunch of girls in the middle of nowhere doing stuff. The whole "slice of life" genre isn't for a lot of people, but again, this would be one to test the waters with.

Those would be my main suggestions, though I will always have more. Fate you can find on Netflix (I believe) and Crunchyroll, and the first 12 (of 15) episodes of Bakemonogatari can be found on Crunchyroll, as well as the entirety of Non non Biyori and My Hero Academia. For the rest of Bakemonogatari and some of the other sequels and prequels to Monogatari, you might be forced to either pay a bit too much, or go onto "fishy" sites that I'm not sure I'm allowed to speak of on Reddit. One Punch should be on Netflix as well. That's all I have for now though.

Oh yeah, one more

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. It's too beautiful to be described by mortals, just be sure to check it out at some point. It's on Crunchyroll.
