Your Name

great movie

 

[DarkKyo]

Over the past year my girlfriend has fallen in love with both Dragon Ball(all series) and Attack on Titan, maybe try one of those?

 

[Extollere]

My wife really loves JoJo's Bizzare Adventure. It's a pretty fun, wild romp... there are elements of romance, adventure, and uh.... general gentlemanliness all around.

Also watch Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa)

And if she enjoyed sci-fi like Steins;Gate and Psycho Pass check out From the New World. It's a slow burn but so good.

 

[turmoil]

Same as any anime recommendation thread, if she can take long ass shows, Monster and Legend of the galactic heroes.

Beyond the Boundary

 

[Bob Coffee]

Love Live! and if you like that Love Live! sunshine.

Damn shame. JoJo GAF needs to step it up.

 

[Mortemis]

JOOOOOOOOOO JO

also Black Lagoon is a great rec too

 

[choco-fish]

Wolf's Rain, chicks dig Wolves right? Well my Wife liked it.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Great Teacher Onizuka

 

[VeeP]

Kids on the slope

I'm gonna second this OP, Kids on a Slope. I loved it.

It's actually directed by the creator of Bebop and Champloo. It's more of a slice of life anime, a awkward high school kid moves into town. He finds joy in music, experiences love, adventure, etc. I hope you enjoy it.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Some good recommendations here, but OP what really needs to be watched is Monthly Girls Nozaki Kun.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Also if you want to get depressed watch Jin-Roh, brilliant anime film made by the guys who did Ghost in the Shell in the mid-nineties.

 

[ExcelTronic]

Golden Boy

 

[RMI]

Prison School is hilarious. My wife and I enjoyed it.

 

[Usobuko]

Mushishi

Episodic series with thematic symbolism of what makes us human. Zen-like philosophy.

 

[Turin Turambar]

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.

My recommendations

 

[darkziosj]

kuroko no basket or mushishi, maybe hellsing ultimate

 

[Barrow Roll]

My girlfriend and went I through Hajime No Ippo last year, and we loved it. It is just so full of heart, genuinely good humor, great characters, and some of the hypest fights in the shounen genre.

 

[notaskwid]

Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199

 

[Transhuman]

I am sorry for your loss

 

[Keasar]

Erased

Murder mystery with time travel. Loved it personally. It's not long either and can be watched in a decent amount of time.

 

[duckroll]

The answer is always Sword of the Stranger.

 

[Savitar]

High School Days.

Perfect for any couple.

 

[mrjohill]

[clarknova156]

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

Hahaha..

Oh that thread was gold. If it was real that is..

 

[Parfait]

Konosuba. Konosuba!

Recently rewatched it with a friend, the entire thing, and laughed hard enough to bruise myself still.

 

[Death Metalist]

Parasyte: The Maxim

All of a sudden, they arrived: parasitic aliens that descended upon Earth and quickly infiltrated humanity by burrowing into the brains of vulnerable targets. These insatiable beings acquire full control of their host and are able to morph into a variety of forms in order to feed on unsuspecting prey.

 

[eot]

*me


Can't go wrong with Golden Boy!

It's funny because people often use 'me' when they should use 'I'

Anyway, I'm going to say:
Hikaru no Go

 

[novenD]

Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a must if drama and sci-fi are cool with you both, which it seems like they are.

Seconding Gankutsuou and Last Exile. I'm surprised I'm not the first one to recommend the latter!

 

[Novocaine]

Night Shift Nurses. It's really good!

 

[Fat4all]

Night Shift Nurses. It's really good!

is it as good as Bible Black?

 

[Cidd]

No Attack on Titan?

Wtf gaf.

 

[Lucumo]

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

You misspelt .hack//Sign.

OP: Considering she enjoyed Hunter x Hunter (whatever version), I'll also support Yu Yu Hakusho.

 

[Shredderi]

I'll recommend Gankutsuou as well.
Great Teacher Onizuka is a must see as well.

 

[Novocaine]

is it as good as Bible Black?

Better!

 

[Fat4all]

Better!

well fuuuuuuuuck

 

[jett]

Death Note seems like an obvious choice to me.

 

[Fat4all]

Death Note seems like an obvious choice to me.

as much as I didn't like some of the directions the series went in, it's still pretty dang good

good pick

 

[squall23]

Nichijou is always a safe bet.

After that you move on to Daily Lives of High School Boys which would be the guys version. Or Nichibros if you prefer.

 

[Aztechnology]

Gintama time

 

[KojiKnight]

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

Code Geass is a must watch. I actually just finished rewatching the series for the first time since it aired and it's still amazing. The setup, the character designs, and most importantly the animation. Besides one 3 second animation loop that gets used every other episode, almost nothing is recycled and for a fast action mech series, that's pretty great for a 50 episode series.

 

[Gero]

Your Lie in April is a must, prepare to cry

 

[Dangansona]

Damn OP with that list she's basically a pro already.
