So I'm big into anime but my partner is just now getting into it. So far together we've watched Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, Berserk 1997, Space Dandy in full.
We have watched in part: Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, Kaiba, Welcome to the NHK, Tatami Galaxy (subtitles were too fast for her even though it's my favorite), and the first episode of The Promised Neverland.
She says she best liked: Berserk, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Kaiba. She says she also kinda liked Welcome to the NHK but is conflicted on it.
She didn't like: ninja scroll, Gurren Lagann
Ghost in the Shell she was neutral on. She says she wants to rewatch tatami galaxy because she didn't feel she was mentally ready for it. Promised Neverland we just watched the first episode but she said she'd watch more.
I asked her what she wants out of an anime: immersive with characters that can be invested in, psychological themes, distinctive art style
What she doesn't want: Shonen, fanservice
She also placed an emphasis on wanting strong female characters.
All of that said, any recommendations? Films or series are both fine.
