out of every Shonen well what I think at this moment is the best blind recommendation is I don't want to turn the next slide man I don't want to I don't want I don't want to change slide okay if you're in America go to sleep uh Michael B Jordan did an interview with [Music] see uh where he basically recommended some starter anime because apparently the new Creed film is very heavily anime inspired and the interviewer asked him what some of his favorite starter anime was what starter anime would he recommend I have actually made a

editor Alan to make me a PowerPoint presentation I just told him what to put into it hey group projects am I right you just take the credit for other people's work come on yeah that's that's how you do things right that's how you do things number no matter what I don't really care what Michael B Jordan says is his starter anime because uh guys Legend already splashbang art deal with it guys deal with it I am sticking with light mode tell me though if you were a total Layman you've never here we go you know
Neon Genesis Evangelion you've not seen a thing what are your go-to here's what you start suggestions uh one piece no no okay no Dragon Ball no no okay okay okay Naruto okay actually I think Naruto is uh legit better still a no from me I'm bleach Hunter my guy just named The Big Three the biggest surprise of this was nothing that Michael B Jordan said it was the fact that the interviewer actually said Neon Genesis Evangelion I'm like what recommending anime for a starter list is totally different than just recommending an anime that you like
in my opinion instead of just judging other people's lists and other people's articles I decided to do my own okay so you can judge me every image in this uh was put in here by Alan I would have to say normally when it comes to recommending anime to someone who doesn't enjoy anime my best kind of method is to ask them hey what kind of movies and TV shows do you like because to me the best starter anime is an anime that's suited for the person there is no one anime meets all kind of like
presentation I'm sorry I got distracted uh because someone in chat said redo of healer uh we're trying to get people into anime we're not trying to scare them away from anime you know otherwise I just recommend enuguay's dog what other criteria do I think make for a good starter anime plus plus listen listen you better not be falling asleep I see you there in the corner okay you next to the window not sure not sure if this is obvious but hopefully hopefully what you recommend uh is a good show no no are you that guy
who just recommended redo of healer second criteria it needs to hit hard and it needs to hit fast there are a lot of good anime that might not have the best style it might take a few episodes to get into hard and fast okay third criteria it still holds up today um there's a lot of let's say people who like to quote some starter anime and they quote it because it was the anime that got them into anime back in the day we just saw that with Michael B Jordan remember the time when we just
kind of like turned our heads to filler and we just like okay so it's just it's just Anime doing anime things you know and as much as it pains me to say some anime don't look as good as what I remember them looking like this is kind of my own criteria four criteria no anime what do I mean by that there are some things that anime have in common that if you're into the anime Community you might kind of be immune to this kind of just because we've become so used to it and we kind
of brush it off as that ah it's just that weird anime thing you know oh panty shots oh that's just part of anime incest oh you know well she's uh not related by blood so uh it's uh it's uh it's it's anime which leads on to my next criteria is there an isakai in existence even if it's ranking good that does not have any anime in it and I don't think there is they look like Batman jeans right no they look good Capri I haven't worn these still like six you look like um alcoholic Mama
the barbecue kind of Vibes where's uh where's your wine I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding if you are below the age of 18 you're probably already fracking into anime let's be honest okay my kind of Target demographic for making this list is like late teens all the way up to any kind of like old age you want let's think about someone like your mum your dad your grandma your cousins that you see at your family reunion who have a normal nine-to-five job why are you thinking about my mom when you think of anime huh who
doesn't let's be honest bacon soldier who doesn't have you seen your mum let's start off with the blind pick this might sound like a normal answer but I genuinely genuinely do not think there is a better blind pick than Attack on Titan and I think it's the one that is most likely to get people into anime after they finish Attack on Titan there are some shows in my mind that I feel you watch the show and you're like okay I'm done um and that's how I feel when I recommend give me films to people because
when you recommend give me films to people they're like oh I'm an anime fan I've watched two give me films and I had no interest in watching the rest of anime because that shit's just weird there's only a few anime I think can rival Attack on Titan in how much of a hook the first two episodes are and it's one of the few anime that I think has actually matched the hype that it got moving on to next one [Applause] if I were to look at Shonen right now and pick out of the Shonen that
I've seen what I think would be the best blind recommendation in the modern day and age I don't want to turn the next slide man I don't wanna I don't want I don't want to turn a nice slide okay Jiu Jitsu Tyson I I said it like that now we get the salt out let me cook let me cook okay because this this can be a long second out of all of the modern Shonen airing right now I think it's the perfect balance of kind of everything uh you look at chainsaw man which I think
does hit the ground running I think that's a very very good Shonen but I think that's a little too weird you know if I knew the person and I and I knew they were into like edgier and weirder stuff I'd probably go you know check out chainsaw man something like my hero Academia is a little too safe it was basically between Jujutsu kaisen and Demon Slayer and I just think Jiu Jitsu Kaizen gets there a little bit faster it shows everything that a good Shonen should show in its first few episodes it gets running pretty
quickly while still being safe but not too safe how's that did I save a voice did I did I save it next we go into psychological we can't all be about punches and fights it's still going into this day it's Death Note okay I don't think anyone would argue about this pink monster no no come on man come on monster that's a slow burn it's amazing but it kind of is almost like a novel Death Note comes out of the gate storming like Attack on Titan it's still to this day has one of the best
hooks in anime tetsu araki who is a famed action director directed death note and even in some of the most see some of the scenes where they are over explaining stuff he manages to direct it in a way that is still compelling and catches your attention moving on to action obviously uh people got ticked off brains man sometimes you just need to watch someone punching each other [Music] and uh it's one punch man there is no better than uh who said boruto who the said boruto one punch man I feel works the best in this
modern day and age just because of how oversaturated superheroes have become in modern culture so I really wanted to put mob psycho 100 here because I think that mob cycle 100 is a better show in my opinion uh but again going into something blind I feel like one punch man is just easier to get I'm just gonna say you actually need less IQ to understand one punch man so uh I think one punch man is an easier recommendation I wanted to put gear and Lagan and kill the kill but holy POV you're talking to your
mum mum I'm gonna put on Garen laga and uh yo and your mom's like oh why why are you so why why why are the girls not wearing any clothes uh why is that sniper in a bikini I think if you were to recommend anime to like a young horny teenager yes a girl are gone kill a kill all the way Get Hype get horny moving on let's go to drama EastEnders [Music] my drama pick uh that I would recommend to someone if they just want to feel something if they just want to feel emotions
it is silent voice silent voice is not only one of Kyoto animation's best work it is not only one of the hardest hitting anime I think I've seen um but it's such a human story without going overly melodramatic the main girl emotes more while saying the bare minimum more than most light novel characters who have 10 pages worth of dialogue um and I think the character animation in this is some of the best character animation um in all of anime just because of how many emotions you feel just by watching the main girl boruto has
emotion too man another one I think Kyoto animation is kind of goaded in this category because I really narrowed this down to a silent voice and uh Violet evergarden uh Clan ad no I tried watching Clan ads and I couldn't get into Clan ad you know okay it goes good and Clan and after Story and I'm like bro that's like with us like one season away unfortunately I also really wanted to put anohana on here as well uh I think that's a little too anime as well uh especially with the whole menma at the beginning
uh it definitely pulls on the heartstrings but it's a little it's also a little too yeah emotions too damn it okay okay I get it okay thank you Charlotte that ain't no way ain't no way I'm putting Charlotte on there man oh gosh I think you can get any more emotional than Bucky then Bucky I mean I was an emotional during balcony I don't know if everyone else got emotional during Bucky uh July and April also could have been in here again I think I just I just think silent voice is just the top tier
Contender so my pick goes towards Violet's evergarden moving on sci-fi [Music] having a good Sci-Fi pick would be pretty good for a general audience and my pick for scifo goes to [Music] what wait wait wait [Applause] I don't want to be done group projects am I right am I right guys this is uh this is Alan's little moment he wants to he wants to recommend Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway if a new fan watches it they can just quit anime straight after because nothing else will ever live up to Hathaway's flash alright thank you thank you
very much Alan thank you very much all right let's uh let's give Adam the round of applause there let's get rather than a round of applause but my pick for sci-fi is a psychopath to me the first season of psycho pass has still aged wonderfully uh as a grow World grows more and more uh reliant on social media I rewatch Psychopaths and I'm like Frank me this this is here this is hitting different because I'm like some of these stories and some of these ideas presented might seem more relevant today than they did when it
first came out kind of like Lane in that sense you know how no Bebop bro okay we'll get we'll get to that because that was that was also a contender I did not put Cowboy Bebop on my list not because I don't think it's good I think Cowboy Bebop is a bait pick in this modern day and age for a Gateway anime okay with streaming platforms with Netflix with the whole Advent of the modern media landscape people want ongoing stories episodic shows have become the outlier there's still a space for them but there ain't nowhere
near the same amount of space as they used to be when media was dominated by television what about Neon Genesis Evangelion get the Franco get that guy come on come on that's a hard enough recommendation for anime fans Joey moving on two of course Romance [Music] is a good romance that fits all there's a lot of harems out there and there's just a lot of teenage romances in there that kind of just are like eh I I tried to pick something more mature uh so of course my pick is domestic girlfriend baby let's go let's
go uh what can I say mature romances where they sleep with each other the dramas that your mom dad it's not the best girlfriend it's actually your name um I'm still not 100 happy with this pick your name's not all about romance there's still like a romance aspect in there which I feel could get people interested to explore the genre a bit more chill bits bro we all want to ride dog our gamer rigs no not show bits have you forgotten how they uh turn uh how Qi gets turned on who beats the romance in
Bucky SMH okay actually actually kind of cooking there uh powering up with sex all right but your name is kind of just the most inoffensive romance pick I could think of it's got a lot of pretty colors and some absolutely beautiful scenes and I and I think I just wanted to pick something that was not too not too anime Central don't bully me nagatoro ain't no way man ain't no way romance is already hard enough to sell for someone that's into anime you try to get someone uh who's into Shonen into romance and it's like
you know that Meme where it's that guy talking to a brick wall that's what I feel like sometimes when I'm trying to talk about my favorite romances golden time to me is not only my favorite romance but my favorite romance that I feel could appeal to a wider audience that aren't interested in high school romances and want a bit more of an adult take onto it but ghost boundary man ghost binary is such a big ball to overcome that I I I was like oh oh no I don't know if I could my way past
ghost banary moving on two [Music] sometimes you just need something that is just a safe pick all around something you can watch with the entire family okay think about it um you're at you're out no sore alone okay okay you you guys need to stop now you guys need to stop so picture it you are you're you're at a family gathering or something you're at a family dinner it's Christmas or something and you just want to put something on TV and it's just inoffensive to all ages um it's spikes family it's it's got Spike's family
is out of everything D safest and most inoffensive pick it's got a cute anime daughter in it and every episode you come out feeling this warm fluffy feeling that no one can actually complain about is it the best anime of all time no but is it an anime that you can put on at any time any day in any situation and have the same effects yes prison school though my favorite family friendly show oh Oromo another family-friendly show thank you very much having a cozy time with all the family around watching Bucky together thank you
very much moving on one of the hardest things that I had growing up was trying to convince my parents that anime was a medium worth getting into so I've split up the next category into two one for mum and one for Dad [Music] what dads would not fracking love Finland Saga not only because it's a freaking goaded show man but number one Vikings it's who's not going to think that that's cool but uh you know having interviewed the creator of villain Saga myself as well there are so many themes of fatherhoods in villain Saga thorofin
himself has like basically multiple fathers uh Prince Canute as well we could see the Father Figure in his life as well which definitely was not his own father is this the new I work for the BBC yo I've said that once I said I've said that once or twice at most guys come on obviously the Creator said that he he himself is a father and that's why he's put a lot of themes of fatherhood in the entirety of Finland Saga even though I'm not a father yet some of these scenes made me want to pick
up the phone and call my dad and just wanted to uh wanted just to make me say Dad Frank and appreciate you man let's uh let's go share a point together let's uh play some footy die in the life of a true brexit Gaza uh which brings me to all the mums out there it came between two and I had to pick between the one that hit Me Harder uh but to me it's wolf children Allen's tried to troll me here with the one scene of uh the mom getting with the wolf but I'm not
gonna make any judgments Maybe maybe your mom might like that who knows the reason I picked wall children was because of one seed in general it's just it's just a montage of when she gets pregnant and uh all the all the events leading up to her pregnancy to her birth and the family trying to take care of them I think it's one of the most beautiful montages and I'm gonna ignore that and it's one of the most beautiful montages in anime I've shown my mum wolf children and my mum cried multiple times during it my
backup pick was machia um both amazing amazing amazing films and I'm sure any Mum would appreciate you showing either film to her is this inukai but worse oh my God bro bro you can leave couldn't really think of any more categories so I was like I was like wild card baby why not [Music] foreign I wanted to recommend I've showed this to a lot of non-anime fans a lot of my mates who are not into anime and they loved it it's freaking bacono bacono goes past that anime the one thing that makes it a little
bit of a harder sell is that they need to use their brains for this because it is pieced out of order but as soon as you mention imagine this is either Quentin Tarantino film or a guy Richie film that's been spread out into a whole TV series and are like okay I get it that was my 10 blind picks for someone if I knew nothing about them we have we have some bonus rounds I could have done way more genres in this but I honestly just didn't have the time say you've shown them the first
tier of anime you might want to get them into some genres that might be bring them down with you into hell and to me isakai it's re-zero it's it's gotta be re-zero it's got that whole like time travel Loop aspect which I feel a lot of the times people need that hook to get into a new genre and I feel re-zero has the strongest hook out of a lot of Visa guide that I've seen next we have high school um it's kagia summer you're going to have to encounter High School whether you like it or
not at one point in your anime watching time and I feel like Target Summer Love is War is the best introduction to that as the series goes on it kind of feels like you're emulating having friends and hanging out in a high school setting and you're just feeling and and you're just seeing your friends doing dumb shits yes I did just say I was parasocial to the cargo Summer Love is War cast but so help me God cute girls doing cute things I can only recommend what got me interested in this genre and that's a
place further than the universe it has cute girls doing cute things but it also has an ongoing plot line as well there is a goal it just makes it easier to recommend than a lot of other shows that might just be like completely completely Slice of Life Bocce The Rock could also take this place and last of all all right my boys you want to check how how close you are to your mate all right they might seem like a normal functioning member of society on the outside but uh maybe uh maybe they have a
little degenerate side to them you know maybe in the sea of degenerate anime if you want to see if your mate can appreciate degeneracy cause the classic baby High School of the Dead it's the goat uh guns and boobs and it's aged wonderfully it still looks better than most etchy shows airing nowadays Alan I don't know why you put this GIF on because we're probably gonna need to censor on YouTube man obviously my family now know that uh I'm I'm into anime I'm an anime fan I do anime content and I think about five six
years ago my cousin who is an absolute Normie and I've tried getting him to anime so many times I've tried sitting him down but we've never had the opportunity but he's tried twice attempt one I recommend this show called Attack on Titan and he's like oh okay I'll give that a watch do you know what he does you know what he friend does he goes the cartoon version wasn't available on Netflix at the time uh but I saw like the live action version available so I just watched that and they're just like no no why
would you do this you were this close you're this Frankie close how could you be so close to scoring but miss so freaking bad and I was like no no please please give anime a chance please and Becky bit of background of my cousin um he is as much of a normal person as you could be he loves Marvel movies but at the time he was into HBO series and he was really really really into The Walking Dead uh sorry he was like let's uh try and find an anime that's also a zombie show what
do you think pops up oh he comes to me and he goes yeah I watch I watch High School for the dead um it's all anime like this I didn't get why all the girls were like that why why why was like the animation like that on all the girls drawn like that I don't get it and I was like I'm not gonna I'm never gonna get another chance yeah if you're watching this on YouTube look uh please subscribe smash the like button and stuff good starter anime yeah yeah High School DxD yeah on a
scale of my opinion on Cross to Joey's opinion introducer guys in uh to Conor's opinion on jojo where does it land on the scale foreign
