Re: Popular fandoms whose hype you don't understand

>Gundam Wing, Death Note, a film about an actress who goes mad and then gets raped (I think it had 'Blue' in the title), and one about baking bread...? There were others too, but tbh they all tend to bleed into one another.

...okay, Jesus Christ, no wonder. Gundam Wing, though it's full of teenage nostalgia for me, isn't precisely... good. Same for Death Note, you aren't going to like it unless you really like this sort of thing.

Can I suggest something by Satoshi Kon? I'm not suggesting his work because it's anime, exactly. It's just that he's a good, legitimate director and I'd hate for someone to miss his work just because it's cartoons. It's un-anime.

AYRT

Satoshi Kon? Okay, I'll give him a try. I'm always open to suggestions.

Anon already mentioned Kon, they referenced Perfect Blue-- with a wording that makes me think they were trolling or just weren't paying attention.

But yeah, Kon was pretty much a life-action director who didn't want to deal with actors or shitty special effects so he took the sensible option.

Anon

It was the very first anime I ever saw, and was shown it with no intro other than 'this is a good film'. That she went mad and was then raped was really the most standout details for me. It was not a great intro.

Yeah, dude: watch Tokyo Godfathers or Millennium Actress. No rapey weirdness.

Adding to this, Masaaki Yuasa is another anime director who focused on the experimental aspects of animation. Tatami Galaxy is my to go to rec of his, but his most recent series Ping Pong is worth a shot.

Seconding Satoshi Kon, but from the sound of it you've already seen Perfect Blue. His Tokyo Godfathers is very far removed from it, if you're feeling like try something else of his.

And Mamoru Hosoda's stuff avoids a lot of unfavorable things about anime. I like his Wolf Children most.

But if you're just done with anime and would rather bother with stuff you know you'll like, that's fine too.

Thank you for the recs. I will probably keep trying anime periodically. So many people like it, I really feel like I'm missing something.
