On another note, what are some good anime shows that I could get into? Aside from Hunter x Hunter, I've only seen DBZ and Pokemon as a kid, both dubbed versions. Mostly people tell me to watch Naruto, Bleach, or Attack On Titan. Are they easy to get into if you haven't really watched anime before?
In fairness these are relatively simpler anime to follow even for a relative newbie to the genre.
Whether you end up appreciating them is another matter altogether. From personal experience, it depends on your age/ mental makeup. Used to love shonen - like Bleach or Naruto in my teens - which makes sense because the core target audience is pre-teen to teenage boys/ fangirls. Now not so much.
So if you're sub-20 then go for it. But if you're 20+ I'd suggest something a bit mature - Steins; Gate, Durarara!!, Death Note, Mushishi, Berserk, Code Geass, Monster, Baccano!, Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hellsing, FMA and the likes. Or even in the shonen genre I'd recommend One Piece/ Gintama over those three or Fairy Tale/ Sword Art Online.
Tip : Avoid the dubbed versions of anime like a plague. Especially the 4kids One Piece dubs. Also if you're a female/ intend to watch with a female/ are a romantic do give Clannad and Clannad : Afterstory a try. Definitely worth watching.
