I have been introducing my GF to anime, so far she has watched and enjoyed Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, FMA Brotherhood, Psycho Pass, Cowboy Bebop, Hunter X Hunter, and Haikyu. She also really likes Avatar and Over the Garden Wall on the western side of animation. She couldn't get into Samurai Champloo or Durarara.

Recommendations on what to watch next? I have watched to anime to list what I have watched, but rewatching things isn't at all off the table.

 

[Ratrat]

Future Boy Conan

 

[chrisPjelly]

Mob Psycho 100 for something really trippy

 

[darklin0]

My Hero Acadamia.

Spoiler

inb4 Hentai recommendations

 

[Eggiem]

One Piece. All episodes.

 

[Alucrid]

Code Geass. even better if you watch it with her mom and brother

 

[BronsonLee]

Hamtaro

 

[SDBurton]

Having just watched it during the Twitch Marathon and surprisingly enjoying it quite a bit, I'd say give Yuri on Ice a shot.

 

[Keyouta]

Toradora would be good I think.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

Bakuman!

 

[Aaronrules380]

One Piece. All episodes.

As a huge One Piece fan, the anime is a horrible way to experience it after a certain point.

I'm going to throw another vote to My Hero Academia

Also Mob Psycho 100

 

[Nicolada]

Gurren Lagann.

 

[SeanTSC]

Black Lagoon.

 

[Nickle]

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun

 

[Hato-kun]

eromanga

Spoiler

Konosuba?

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

Netsuzou TRap

 

[Qvoth]

one punch man, then mob psycho 100

 

[tiebreaker]

Mob Psycho or My Hero Academia.

 

[Nikodemos]

Kuzu No Honkai

Spoiler

Hahaha no.

Valkyrie Drive

Spoiler

LOLNOPE.

The English dubs of Black Lagoon and Baccano! and maybe Tatami Galaxy.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Bible Black

 

[LowParry]

Bible Black

Damn. Took my idea. This is great anime for couples!

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Yuru Yuri best anime. Funny sitcom.

 

[Dreadnought]

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

 

[Linkark07]

Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works, since you finished Zero.

Remember though, while the premise is almost the same, it is developed completely different than Zero.

And since you watched Zero and Psycho Pass, may I recommend Puella Magi Madoka Magica? Same writer as those two.

You will love that one.

Edit: Beaten on UBW. Another recommendation: Shirobako.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The pinnacle of the medium.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Little Witch Academia?

 

[JC Lately]

Seconding One Piece. But take it chunks, there’s like a billion episodes at this point.

There’s also Log Horizon for that Isekai fix.

Part of me really wants to recommend Sailor Moon, but the OG show is sooo 90’s and Crystal is soooo dry.

 

[darfox8]

Ore Monogatari(localized as My Love Story) for some light hearted romantic comedy. Although you'll never be as good a boyfriend as Takeo so that might leave you in a bad light.

 

[hateradio]

*me


Can't go wrong with Golden Boy!

 

[kubev]

Hamtaro

Is Hamtaro available on any streaming services, out of curiosity? It seems to have been left behind as far as releases on newer media go.

 

[monchi-kun]

Kids on the slope

Honey and clover

 

[Fox318]

Patema Inverted

 

[mrpallyguy]

Your Name

 

[Choppasmith]

Snow White of the Red Hair.

Fun comedy/romance anime with a great female lead and deep supporting characters. The romance is sweet and genuine and never gets cheesy. Definitely something I can see a couple enjoying together.

 

[RangerBAD]

Future Boy Conan

While it's good, I'm not sure you can watch it outside of fansubs.

 

[Korigama]

Yu Yu Hakusho
Outlaw Star
Big O

 

[volgihn]

Another vote for My Hero Academia. It's such a great show.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

You ready to get laid my man?

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Legend of Galactic Heroes
Twelve Kingdoms

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Are both of you MMO gamers? You might appreciate Log Horizon- the best of that sub genre.

If you want something more slice of (farm) life ish, I would strongly recommend "Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon)".

 

[Wireframe]

Boku no pico

Spoiler

Don't watch this

 

[Ratrat]

While it's good, I'm not sure you can watch it outside of fansubs.

Wow, thats lame.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes then.

B Gata H Kei: Yamada's First time.


My wife found this on Netflix a few years ago and we did nothing but laugh our asses off for like 7 hours straight. This show is just fucking amazing.

The premise is some high school girl thinks she is uncool and determines she needs to get laid to be cool, except she is super shy about everything.

It's incredibly funny.

 

[CSX]

You ready to get laid my man?

[SDBurton]

Damn. Took my idea. This is great anime for couples!

If watching a woman use black magic to give herself a penis doesn't get a couple in the mood, then I don't know what will.

 

[L Thammy]

Futari Ecchi

 

[Htown]

Black Lagoon.

Yeah, Black Lagoon is my recommendation.

 

[Kyuur]

From the New World
Mob Psycho 100
Yuri on Ice!!!
Attack on Titan
Little Witch Academia OVAs (haven't watched the series yet)
Orange
Gatchman: Crowds & Insight
Death Parade
Shirobako

All 100% SO-approved and mine has similar taste to yours (although opposite on Samurai Champloo / Bebop).

This is the only anime i've ever bought based off a dream. I knew nothing about it, but just had to have it. Was totally worth it.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Little Witch Academia. The animation is really nice and the stories are sweet and funny.
