how to get someone started on anime

sexyfats SG

ok.. don't laugh, but this person is my mother who complains at being bored at work, bored at everything. so i decided to introduce her to anime as she got no interest in sports and much else.

however, stuff like bleach, my first ever anime, i don't think will appeal to her.. can recommend some nice anime for older people like her? right now she's 10 mins into episode 1 of school rumble...

aiyo.

Gordonator SG

definitely CLANNAD! she will love it.

Easiest way is to just take note on what kind of show she usually likes to watch on TV ^^ Other than news that is XD and find out what genre it is. Then just recommend her an anime that drops under those categories ( ^ _ ^ )/

Clannad might work, but a "Slice of Life" type of anime would probably be a good start, such as "Minami-Ke" ^^

Yakitate! Japan. I thought it was funny and intruging when I first watched it.

Or those dorama type Anime like Air, Kanon and Clannad(aka KyoAni doramas). Kanon would be a better bet though.

To hook newcomers, use visual quality and storyline.

MikaX SG

clannad, da capo.. or maybe even honey and clover(but tis one rather slow moving).

i'd strongly advocate suzumiya haruhi, but then, i dun tink ur mum will be very much interested to see haruhi squeeze mikuru's tits. lol

clannad ftw imo. anyone can love clannad.lol

Can introduce the older series to her. Maison Ikkoku is a good suggestion. That kind of show suits her generation.
