Advice for Girlfriends Next Anime

Recently got my girlfriend who has had no experience with anime or manga to watch AoT. She freaking loved it and has shown interest in potentially watching another series.

I wanted to ask if anyone who has been in a similar situation has any suggestions on good ones to offer her? She’s seen some JJK edits due to the new season coming out that she might’ve liked and I’ve also thought about suggesting FMA:B as I really enjoyed it. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should try to get her to watch neon genesis evangelion it’s soo good and starts off strong it’s a anime I would recommend anyone to watch

Recommending fecking Neon Genesis Evangelion to a newbie is diabolical work.

AoT is a great introduction anime, and I feel like it would be a cool idea to show her the breath of genres anime has to offer

Adventure: Frieren

Slice of Life: Skip and Loafer

Comedy: Spy x Family

Romance: Horimiya

Drama: Girls Band Cry

VastCapital37732026-01-28 23:36

Second Frieren. Also depends on the person but seeing her adjust to loss is also really heavy and pulls you in almost immediately imo

Icy_Advertising80782026-01-28 22:13

Shiki

Parasyte

March Come Like A Lion

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju

Denno Coil

Girl Last Tour

Millennium Actress

Texhnolyze

Perfect Blue

Only Yesterday

You should totally make her see FMAB, that's like a perfect starting point for someone who hasnt seen a lot of anime

Possible_Medicine7692026-01-28 23:05

Frieren, apothecary dieries or maybe re zero. Konosuba is great too but it has some questionable scenes in season 1 that are a bit hard to stomach for a newbie

Steins Gate, time travel and a hint of romance.. true mind bender.. HxH if she wants shounen action

torito_vravo2026-01-29 01:20

I would def do FMAB… But i would also maybe recommend:
- Delicious in Dungeon (short, great worldbuilding and characters, good animation…) i feel like it still has the very well animated action and combat like pace of a seinen with very carefully written characters and it could be a way to explore different ways of enjoying action?
- Also idk why but I would also recommend for this reasons Golden Kamuy, maybe the animation isnt the flashiest but it does a really good job keeping u in… and also theres mystery and a lot of thrill :p
- HxH (dont need to explain)
