hold on a second, I’m a 21 year old female, and I just finished watching episode 150 of My Hero Academia, after watching a 2 hour Naruto Shippuden recap (so i can finally finish the damn thing after watching all of Naruto) while getting a reccomendation from my brother to start watching jujitsu Kaisen. And yet, the demographic for all of these is apparently ‘young boys’ Help I got raised a tomboy so hard I switched anime genres 😂
I started with Death Note. Shonen, or at least my presumed idea of it, was why I didn't get into anime earlier lol. I used to think of them having cringy dramatic over the top action with goofy expressions and screaming, got that idea from the few clips I've seen of one piece and one punch man from friends. Of course, my misconceptions and shallow view got cleared as I expanded.
Shounen is technically demographic like shoujo Josei and seinen based on the magazine the series are published in more then the target audience. Since each has series that often uses similar genres/some genres are often in stories from that group we ended up clustering the genres and turning shounen shoujo seinen and jousei to summary for cluster of genres we like
Other than DBZ and pokemon which I watched as a kid and didnt understand what 'anime' was my first was Evangelion or Elfen Lied. Though it was Bleach that really dragged me into it proper.
The first manga I read was Pokemon Adventures, which is a kodomo (I'm pretty sure, anyway), though I did enjoy that it had a bit of a darker tone compared to the games.
a lot of people probably unknowingly started anime with pokemon or another kid's anime like beyblade. Like me! My official first anime that was not pokemon was One piece however.
It's an animated series made and originally distributed in Japan. I'm pretty sure that means its an anime. That'd be like saying Pokemon Adventures isn't a manga.
Fun fact: If your shonen list doesn't have Yu yu hakusho, Dragon ball z and Bleach in it, It should, by default. This is not an opinion, this is a statement. You watch My hero acedemia or One Piece after you watched above list anime or if you have free time.
@@SuperSky9 I know someone that fits that category, an old UA-camr I watched called Double4anime. I was an ignorant kid back then so I didn't see the red flags about the guy but even now that I kinda know about him and how shitty he was, he got me into Naruto and if not for I probably wouldn't be an anime fan at all, so I'm grateful for that
@@GreekShinobi223THIS! This is why the term "Narutard" was coined. Because you people have the thickest Nostalgial glasses in the anime community and I say that a DBZ fan. You profile people out of prejudice because they don't add Naruto in the their MUST WATCH list. Baki, Naruto, JJK, Black Clover, etc are anime you will stumble after you watch Yu yu hakusho, Dragon ball z and Bleach different TYPES of animes. Yu yu hakusho is a Isakai, Dragon ball z is a fighting anime, and Bleach for its lite-ecchi tones these are starter anime. Naruto is the good secondary anime unlike it lacks actual progression. It starts off with finger sign weaving justus to a chucking energy ball fluster cluck in a furry mechsuit, its not Kai-o-ken to SSJ3, Hollow mask to Vasto Lorde, a spirit detective to the son of an immoral demon and its that stupid swing set which has more screen then most background character or their developments to Madara fisted by his shadow. Naruto is a good anime but it gets dumber with every rewatch. THEN the flashbacks turn to chore and loose meaning, THEN Madara's hype gets shadowed by his death and you start realizing how stupid everything in seriesis. 1. The tailed beast introduced and thrown out the winder until the last 500 episodes 2. the entire seieres was just Naruto simps after Sakura Sakura simps after sasuke so Naruto chases Sasuke to get cucked by Sakura 3. The series is basically Senju vs Uchiha and Naruto, where Naruto is the filler in his own anime This is not Frieza saying Namek, the size of a Jupiter with 3 suns is going blow according to ITS 5 mins. These are structural flaws that make Naruto out of place. Imagine instead of Naruto, It was konahamru who had the 9tails. Now, everything is changed. Now, everything makes sense, and falls into place. But as it is it doesn't.
Berserk is really good if you can handle the source material content (ie SA), Vagabond is also super good if you don’t mind it being on hiatus every other day lol and Initial D is king!

I definitely did not start with shonen.
Same
#4 keikaku (translator note: keikaku means plan)
woah man thanks I didn't know
I started with Doraemon, a series belonging to the kodomo demographic for young children.
My 2nd series is shounen though, an old one, named Inuyasha.
Are you from India or Japan btw? (it's very popular in India and not very well known in the West
FYI, demographics like shonen don't determine content.
Other than DBZ and pokemon which I watched as a kid and didnt understand what 'anime' was my first was Evangelion or Elfen Lied. Though it was Bleach that really dragged me into it proper.
The first manga I read was Pokemon Adventures, which is a kodomo (I'm pretty sure, anyway), though I did enjoy that it had a bit of a darker tone compared to the games.
I started with Lucky Star somehow, because people memed the hell outta konata's antics back then
I was lucky, I started with Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, Cardcaptor Sakura, Cowboy Beebop, & Trigun.
a lot of people probably unknowingly started anime with pokemon or another kid's anime like beyblade. Like me! My official first anime that was not pokemon was One piece however.
I started with MHA and demon slayer, then suddenly watching glitter force for some reason.. then started watching watamote
I started with Danganronpa 😭
I started with saiki k on netflix and TECHNICALLY pokemon but im pretty sure noone knows if its an anime or not sooo...
Nah Pokémon counts
It's an animated series made and originally distributed in Japan. I'm pretty sure that means its an anime.
That'd be like saying Pokemon Adventures isn't a manga.
I started with glitter force that's like a shojo ☠️

my first anime is one piece
Well, the anime that got me into anime was Naruto so I guess it counts 🤷🏻
@@GreekShinobi223 as a Narutard if Naruto is the only anime you watched.
