I\u2019ve been working on this site for four long years, and it is doing great despite sometimes feeling like I\u2019m running out of things to recommend. Anyway, as is tradition, every year I\u2019ve written a more personal sort of recommendation article. Not one written for the search engine rankings or because a series is popular. This time, I\u2019ve decided to cover anime series that are quite good, but difficult to explain why to others. You know, those series you really like but realize the premise is so ridiculous to explain to someone else that they likely won\u2019t be watching it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beastars\"><\/span>Beastars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Beastars-anime.jpg?w=616&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019ll be real, this is the series that sparked this idea. I have relatively casual anime watching friends, and I tried to recommend Beastars to them. It didn\u2019t go well. Certainly furries may have some interest, but everyone else is turned off at first glance. It doesn\u2019t seem to matter how much you stress the complex characters and unexpectedly dark story. Oh, and if you h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en to bring up the sexual overtones, then you\u2019ve lost them forever. Or hooked them if they are degenerates, I guess.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gintama\"><\/span>Gintama<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"gintama christmas\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/gintama-christmas.png?resize=616,461&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>How\u2026Does one even explain Gintama? It\u2019s a funny anime, full of parody that you won\u2019t get half of because you are not Japanese enough? A parody anime so good and full of laughs that it makes the serious story arcs feel amazing? It\u2019s got so many seasons and a cult following that it must be good? It\u2019s only slow in the beginning?<\/p>\n<p>You could just go full straightforward with it and tell them it\u2019s about aliens invading edo Japan, but that\u2019s not very effective.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer, \u201cJust watch it, shitlords.\u201d Works 40 percent of the time, every time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Monogatari_Series\"><\/span>The Monogatari Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"watch order of monogatari for new viewers\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/watch-order-of-monogatari-for-new-viewers.jpg?resize=616,347&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>Many anime series have certain twists or quirks that make them easy to recommend. Monogatari doesn\u2019t really have that. Not only is it kind of difficult to give an accurate and interesting synopsis of what the series is about, but the dialogue-heavy nature of the show can be hard to keep people watching for those great moments that do hook you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"March_Comes_in_Like_a_Lion\"><\/span>March Comes in Like a Lion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"anime-series-like-march-comes-in-like-a-lion\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/anime-series-like-march-comes-in-like-a-lion.jpg?resize=616,385&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s a series about shogi and depression! Yeaaaah! Woo! Yeah, well, it turns out that those two subjects are things that many find\u2026boring? It just so happens my depression resonated with the melancholic tone of this series, but that\u2019s not the case for everyone. Really trying to recommend this to someone that thrives on action anime is an absolute lost cause.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legend_of_the_Galactic_Heroes\"><\/span>Legend of the Galactic Heroes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Legend of the Galactic Heroes remake\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Legend-of-the-Galactic-Heroes-remake.jpg?w=616&#038;ssl=1\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>These days, it is especially hard to recommend older anime to people. We have been absolutely spoiled with animation quality even if it is pervasively moe. What is even more difficult to recommend? An old space opera that is more talking than action. A series who has some of the best politics in all anime, but can rightly be called boring at times. It isn\u2019t necessarily beautiful to watch all the time, it can be a bit dull at some points, and space operas in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> are harder to sell by the day.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kill_la_Kill\"><\/span>Kill la Kill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"anime series like kill la kill\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/anime-series-like-kill-la-kill.jpg?w=616&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>I suppose you could say Kill la Kill is a girl looking for her father\u2019s murderer, but that is not very interesting. You could also say it is a show about a girl taking over a school with a giant scissor blade, which is a bit better. However, really its a show about girls that get more powerful the more scantily clad they are. That\u2019s only something you could sell to a certain type of person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_Wars\"><\/span>Food Wars<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"food wars anime\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/food-wars-anime.jpg?resize=616,347&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>Food Wars isn\u2019t actually too hard to sell, but it is something that is hard to keep people hooked. Within the first few minutes, it has a woman literally bursting out of her clothes with a foodgasm. Sure, that sold me on it even more, but the odd combination of ecchi and eating is\u2026not for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"From_the_New_World\"><\/span>From the New World<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"from the new world anime world\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/recommendmeanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/from-the-new-world-anime-world.jpg?w=616&#038;ssl=1\" ><\/img><\/figure>\n<p>Part of the charm of From the New World is that you discover the world as the children grow up in it. As such, it starts off by posing so many fucking questions to the viewer.
