I wouldn't know where to begin with anime... there could be some of it which is great for me, but most anime is probably not for me.

- Akronymus 4y agoThats fair. Any genres you find interesting? Any specific story structure? Target age? I can probably list some that may strike your fancy. But yeah, I can definitely see/understand not liking most/any anime.
- z9znz 4y agoI do like science fiction, particularly of the Star Trek style. I'm less into the Aliens (action/horror) stuff and more into fantasy/exploration stuff. Adventure in general is nice. Conflict is expected (as that's part of any plot), but I don't enjoy shows of inevitable doom usually (although Melancholia was good). I also like comedy - British, American, southern American. I'm rewatching My Name Is Earl now. I enjoyed Trailer Park Boys for a while. Blackadder was fantastic. I don't mind some violence, but that shouldn't be the focus. Likewise I don't mind sex (explicit or not) as long as that isn't the point of the show. Gratuitous, over-the-top violence (modern Tarantino films) are very much not my interest.
- Akronymus 4y agoI think planetes could be to your liking. It is about a group of people whose job it is to clean space debris [1] In terms of fantasy/exploration, I'd go with Made in abyss [2], altough that one gets rather dark at times. For comedy, I think angel beats [3] may be an option. Altough, love is war is probably a better fit. As a personal highlight, I really like great pretender [5] And of course, I forgot to add Konosuba [6], which at a glance strikes me as somewhat similar to trailer park boys (altough, havent seen that show) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Abyss https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Made_in_Abyss [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Beats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Beats!

- z9znz 4y agoThanks kindly for the suggestions. I'll check some of them out.
