Mostly discussing Unlimited Blade Works as StayNight is really hard to watch alone (at least for me it was and I nearly stopped watching it) but it has some importance for Zero. And something like Ghibli while imaginative and creative I find personally pretty confusing.įuuu. But they don't have much fleshed out stories or characters. Or you start with a movie as it doesn't get much shorter than that. It is not dark and more slice of life with a simple supernatural element. Hm, maybe AnoHana which is also really good but sad. Or you just Chose something more light-hearted although I don't have a recommendation for that. _- Other than that I am a great fan of Puella Shoujo Madoka but it is rather strange and weird in some parts (also on the animation side) and it may be a bit heavy for the beginning. Not sure to what person's tastes are but for completion's sake I will suggest something darker and shorter which hasn't been suggested so far: Fate/Zero emphasis on Zero because by watching StayNight you make sure person never watches anime again. While most of the time something relevant is happening there are parts which feel a bit dragged (I think the part in the North was a bit too long). While FMA is a good anime it is rather lengthy. Hm, I think something shorter for the first time is a better idea. Memories doesn't tie in with a franchise, it's just three interesting shorts with distinct art styles - they're well-made and your friend won't feel tied down to a full movie if one of them isn't to his liking. I wasn't crazy about Halo Legends, bit if your friend is familiar with the setting, it might be an easy transition. I enjoy the movies of Satoshi Kon and Studio Ghibli and think both would be good for someone who doesn't watch regular anime series, eventually, but they tend to have more out-there elements the pacing and level of oddity to Steamboy is more like a Marvel movie - not something that's possible, but the pacing and level of strangeness are in line with a mainstream action superhero/scifi movie, just animated.Īnother possible approach is an anthology: The Animatrix has a variety of art styles in its nine segments, some of which are CG, others anime and related animation styles. Steamboy (2004, directed by Katsuhiro Otomo) is probably one of the most accessible anime films: the setting and plot are easy to understand without being simplistic, there's no over the top strangeness, lewdness or gore, and it's got a good dub (featuring Patrick Stewart, Alfred Moilna and Kari Wahlgren).
