what’s the etiquette? where do i start? there are so many niches and such that i’m not sure.

i have watched some anime, but mostly things like dragon ball. i am looking to get more involved with the community to help discover anime and get more into the trends, etc.

Every sunday night (from my perspective in Mountain Time anyways) there's a discussion thread posted to /c/anime where people talk about what they're watching and whether they're liking it. You can go there and post a comment or reply to someone else. Of course you can do the same in other threads as well, but I bring it up as a good place to start.

As for what to watch, there are a few ways to find stuff. One option is to just look at the highest rated stuff out there and just pick some random thing that looks interesting. Another option, especially if you want to keep up-to-date with stuff that's being currently discussed, is to watch videos from channels like Mother's Basement and Gigguk. Right now at the start of a new season a bunch of new shows are just starting to air, and so in a week or two both of those channels will have videos out pitching their favorites to viewers.

If you just want something to watch without needing to do any research here are my favorites:

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for action/adventure
Kaguya-sama: Love is War for romcom
Redline for a sick movie about a deadly car-racing tournament on alien worlds
LOOK BACK or Journal with Witch for something more emotional

thank you for the info! i will have to check out those youtube channels for sure.

all i’m doing now is just looking through the top rated on AniList and such.

i finished Vinland Saga, and thought it was very good. i’m watching mob psycho now.

Nice! I forgot to mention it because there are just too many great anime out there, but Mob Psycho is also one of my favorites.

[–] dws@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago

im really liking it so far!

i think i have figured out that i have 2 modes; serious anime and not so serious, and i cant watch the same kind back to back lmao

i loved vinland saga, but it was so heavy i just think another one like it right after wouldnt be enjoyable
