Comment on best anime to start on
ashok36@lemmy.world 9 months agoThe problem with recommending opm as a starter is that it parodies a bunch of shows and Manga that OP probably won’t have the references for. I would worry that OP might miss most if not all of the jokes without the context.

I’ve been wanting to get into OPM myself. What would you recommend to watch first to understand at least 80 % of the references?

Just watch it, you really don’t need to know much about the stuff its parodying

They don’t “need” to know the stuff they are parodying, true, but it’s a lot less funny without that frame of reference. It’s like listening to a Wierd Al song without knowledge of the original.

Oh no, he might not understand that Saitama’s shirt says boobs? How will he ever enjoy the show?? I watched OPM as one of my first anime, got almost no references and its one of my favorite anime of all time.
