Complete Guide for Anime Beginners!

anime-for-beginners Complete Guide for Anime Beginners!

Welcome to our Beginner’s Guide to Anime! Hopefully, you’ve come because you have a slight curiosity about this art form. We’ve got you covered! We’re going to skip the long explanations of anime or manga-specific vocabulary. Instead, we want you to experience what this animation style has to offer. This guide will ease you in with some great and accessible shows.

We’ve broken it down into five simple sections for you. Each section covers a specific genre and contains three recommendations. We wanted to have a decent selection, in terms of numbers. However, it needed to be a short enough so that it didn’t feel overwhelming. We felt that fifteen would be a good starting point for you guys.

The series were chosen on three specific criteria: overall strength, mass appeal, and series length (most important). We tried our best to recommend shows that didn’t extend past 26 episodes (an average season). However, exceptions were made for shows that were clearly better than almost anything else in their genre: Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and K-On! (to a lesser extent).

But enough about our thought process. Explore through our recommendations and you’re sure to find something that’ll suit your needs!

Hey guys! I'm a huge fan of anime and video games. I used to be a competitive fighting game player (search my name in YouTube). So, I guess it was natural for me to make my way over here to Japan. I teach English, write anime articles, and put together videos when I have time. I hope you enjoy the content we've created for you here at Honey's Anime!
