So what do the users of RPN believe to be the best anime(s) to show those largely unacquainted with anime?
Do you think someone not used to subtitles and Japanese can enjoy anime with them present?
And lastly, what are your own personal experiences with introducing people to anime and your favorite anime shows?
I've experimented over the last few weeks and saw that series with more serious storylines, that are well-animated, and a possess a widely pleasing art style generally make more people interested than sillier plots and perhaps not as good animation and art styles do. Whether or not it's dubbed is also a major factor, simply because not everyone is used to it or are willing to take the time and effort to read the subtitles. Occasionally I've encouraged people to check out shows and went out of my way when I was hanging out with them to broaden their horizons a little bit, and this usually goes well unless they've had little to no prior experience with anime before.
