Comment on [Discussion] What anime would you NOT recommend to a newbie?

Konosuba, Monogatari Series and Lucky Star.
Anything that relies heavily on familiarity of weeb culture or Japanese history.
I’ve really liked the weeb-ass-shit scale for cases like this ever since I learned about it.
Three 1-10 scores:
I love it, that’s hilarious.
TheImpressiveX@lemmy.today 10 hours ago Funnily enough, my first two animes were Lucky Star and KonoSuba!
I didn’t realize at the time that KonoSuba is supposed to be a deconstruction/parody of the isekai genre. Didn’t make it any less enjoyable, but now that I’m aware of all the isekai tropes, it becomes a whole lot funnier.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 10 hours ago I would definitely put Evangelion on that list, especially if you have no familiarity with mecha.
I agree. I watched it when I was a newbie and didn’t understand what the point was at all. But I’m happy about I was able understand eva memes after a while.
eva can absolutely power through on vibes alone if you’re depressed enough
Eva was legit one of the first anime I watched.

Lucky star is a great intro imo
