Anything from Studio Ghibli for films. Spirited Away is a personal favourite. My Neighbour Totoro is another good one, especially with kids.G-Man wrote: ↑Thu Mar 29, 2018 12:26 pm Is there any way to ease into the world of anime? For instance, what are some quality feature-length anime films I can test the waters with? My wife and I have watched every Disney animated film made except for Coco and Cars 3, so that more or less informs our understanding/biases of the animation genre.
Death Note or Full Metal Alchemist are good series to watch, but for the latter you want FMA Brotherhood.

Re: The Anime/Manga Topic
I wasn't too big on Grimgar, though I don't read manga/LN's so maybe it's more in depth. The art was great but I just had so many unanswered questions or things that left me wanting. Maybe a second season would be good in that respect.Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 29, 2018 12:13 pm There is another light novel I read currently, it's called Grimgar. This one is about an RPG game (apparently most Japanese LNs are about that theme). It has an anime that covers the first 2 books, and then it has another 9 books.
It's different from most fantasy stories because it's realistic as fuck, for all it is. It's about teenagers who have no training or skills being made to fight monsters, and the realistic results from that (read: death, poverty and drama).
The anime is great, the LN is a little inferior. Like dialogue is pretty bad, but the way battles are described is even better than seeing it animated, and the main plot is still good. You have a party of weak adventurers who have to use strategy to survive in a videogame setting and the story describes their effort with a lot of detail.
