Anime can be a hard thing to get into especially if you are older.
There are some anime that are better suited for newer watchers.
This list is in no particular order.
10.) One Punch Man

- One Punch man has everything you could want for a new watcher.
- OPM(One Punch Man) is set in a superhero themed society so it can have so familiarity if you like Marvel or DC or any comics for that matter.
- The Main Character is a fun lovable character who you guessed it is the “One Punch Man” who is the man who can one punch anything. Sounds stupid? Maybe a little, but it makes for a fun story.
- It’s filled with lovable characters with interesting designs and powers.
- It is also a short anime so it’s not a big time commitment.

9.) My Hero Academia
- My Hero Academia is another anime set in a superhero society
- The protagonist Izuku Midoriya or “Deku”
- Quirks are the name for this world’s superpowers, almost everyone is born with them unfortunately Deku was one of the ones who was unlucky. He was born without a quirk in a world full of them.
- If you like Marvel or DC you will most likely like My Hero.

8.) Naruto/Dragon Ball


- At this spot I have 2 choices. I put both of them here because both of these anime are similar in the fact that both are longer series so it will take longer to finish and these 2 were a lot of people’s first anime. Most people who watch anime today started with one of these 2 when they were children.
- Both of these are more action focused with various power systems and lots of characters to explore.
- Both also have separate seasons, Naruto is split into 2 Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Dragon Ball is split into Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Kai, Dragon Ball Super, and Super Dragon Ball Heroes.

7.) Demon Slayer

- This anime became on of the most popular anime in the shortest time.
- With amazing animation, lovable characters and a episode that went trending on twitter it’s not a surprise that it became so popular so quick.
- The story is simple, The MC (main character) comes home to his family that has been murdered except his sister who is now a demon. He sets on a journey to turn her human again.
- This anime is a good one to start on because it has a movie that came out not too long ago, a second season coming out soon and a game that’s right around the corner.

6.) Death Note

- This pick is less action focused and more of a detective show.
- The premise is a teen named Light Yagami finds this book called the “Death Note”, this book has the ability to kill anyone who’s name is written in it. Light decides to test it out and to his surprise it works, so he goes on his mission to “eliminate evil”
- Amazing anime that is different from the action picks.

5.) Fairy Tail

- This one would probably be the least recommended on this list, but since it was my first anime I had to put it on here.
- It’s not a bad anime, but it has a lot of flaws.
- It’s set in a magic themed world with our 2 main characters Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragneel.
- The main reason I don’t recommend this that much is that it uses “the power of friendship” too often. If you love that then this anime is for you, but the show is some what enjoyable regardless.
- If you love different types of magic then you might like this as that’s how I was. A young kid who heard about this show that has all kinds of magic so I watched it and enjoyed it and it led me to become a big anime watcher too.

4.) Attack on Titan

- Another show that I would say focuses more on the story/worldbuilding than action.
- Attack on Titan is set in a world where humanity is enclosed in 3 huge walls protecting them from the humanoid monsters know only as titans. As you watch through the anime you will get to learn more about the origins of titans and learn more about the world.
- This anime is a very special anime because once you watch it one way through you will never have that first watch magic again.
- As I said earlier its more focused on storytelling than action, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have lots of amazing fights.

3.) Jujutsu Kaisen

- Another newer anime that became really popular.
- JJK(Jujutsu Kaisen) is set in a world where there are evil spirits called curses and people who are tasked with eliminating them(jujutsu sorcerers)
- The protagonist Yuji Itadori ends up encountering a curse and after meeting some people and eating a finger of one of the strongest curses ever he joins the jujutsu sorcerers to help fight curses and find the rest of the fingers.

2.) Mob Psycho 100

- Mob is an introvert school boy with very powerful psionic abilities. Its a mix of slice of life, comedy, and action.
- Mob basically has a breaking point where he reaches 100% and when he reaches that 100 you know shit is about to go down.
- There are 2 seasons both very short so it wont take long for you to watch both.

1.) Fruits Basket (2019)

- Last one on the list is a romance anime.
- So if you like romance shows on TV and Netflix this one might be the one you start on.
- The main character Tohru Honda ends up encountering the Soma family which leads to lots of eventful moments and encounters.
- It is one of the the highest rated anime of all time (number 5 on myanimelist)
