Q&A for How to Get Into Anime

Fairy Tale is perfectly fine, but there are some hentai videos about it online, so try to avoid those.

Explain to your mom that it's just a good show, and just because you enjoy it, that doesn't make you gay - just as gay people can watch shows about straight people and it doesn't make them straight. Give examples of other shows you like that are not about gay people and tell her your interest in this one has nothing to do with the gay aspect.

It's unlikely, just as you wouldn't normally get caught for stuff like torrenting. If you're still skeptical, try watching it with a VPN.

Anime tends to cause deep emotions. My suggestion is to watch The Devil is a Part Timer. It is very funny and full of action.

That anime show is perfectly fine, but do some research on animes before you watch them.

Your friend is probably trying to trick you. Boku no Pico is hentai and the many people who've watched Boku no Pico find it disturbing and uncomfortable to watch.

Death Note has some pretty adult themes, and it's meant for older audiences. However, as long as you're fairly mature and understand the difference between fantasy and reality, it's probably fine.

Although anime tends to have a lot of swearing, slice of life anime seems to be the way to go. Try out School Babysitters. You'll have to watch it subbed, but it's great! If you want to get emotional, I suggest Violet Evergarden.

Boku no Pico is hentai (anime pornography). I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you like that kind of thing.

Yes, kissanime is. Sometimes it's as stubborn as a donkey, and it can lead you to weird links, but otherwise it's an OK anime streaming server. If you like dubbed anime, try ww3.cartooncrazy.net.

Depending on your friends, they might be determined to not like anime - in which case, they will not like it, no matter what. Ask them what they didn't like about the anime they were watching, and see what they say.

Watch the first few episodes of an anime your friend is watching and that you're interested in. When your friends group up and start talking about anime, you might tell them not-so-directly that you know something about the anime. If they ask how you knew that, say you came across it somewhere. Eventually, you'll become an official "anime fan squad" member, too.

One suggestion is Studio Ghibli, which makes excellent anime movies suitable for viewers of all ages. They can be watched in the original Japanese audio with English subtitles or with English-dubbed voices (both of which are excellent). Some popular anime movies made by Studio Ghibli include: My Neighbor Totoro, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howls Moving Castle, just to name a few.

Of course. You shouldn't be ashamed of your preference. Anime can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of the specific demographics established.

No, not really. Usually the ads won't do anything to your computer unless you click on one of them. I've never clicked on them before, but I wouldn't recommend doing it, just in case. And if KissAnime does direct you to a website automatically, just exit it.

Some critically-acclaimed anime TV series include Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Cowboy Bebop, DragonBall Z, Code Geass, Naruto, and Soul Eater. Some critically-acclaimed anime movies include Spirited Away, Your Name, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, 5 Centimeters per Second, The Girl who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, and Ghost in the Shell.

I’d say 18+. Although there is little to no gore and blood, the sexual themes in it are inappropriate for immature audiences.

Well, you can't really convince her to like anime, because that's her opinion, but maybe just tell her politely to respect your interests and the fact that you like anime. Maybe show her some anime from a genre of film that she likes, or a funny anime scene. But if she's totally against the idea, there's not much you can do about that.

Well, kinda. As a former Hetalia fan, it's a really funny show, and it made me actually enjoy world history, even though it wasn't always accurate. Some fans can be extremely toxic and make your life a bit miserable, though. So yeah, a small bit could be ruined.

Anime is traditionally defined as cartoons from Japan. However, there are shows from other countries that are anime-like (such as Miraculous Ladybug, which is French).

That is a very subjective question. It really depends on the specific anime you are watching, and who made it. You might try doing an internet search for "non-sexist Anime" and see what comes up. Though, be aware that Anime in general is often criticized for being violent, explicit, or sometimes sexist, so you really just have to stay on your toes and find a specific Anime that YOU like.

Sailor Moon, Transformers, and Dragon Ball Z are all great animes for kids.

Subtitles in many languages are available to watch for virtually all anime, so you are able to read and understand what they are saying while still hearing the original Japanese voice actors.

Yes. From what I've heard, One Piece is a perfectly fine anime for an 11-year-old, since there aren't "inappropriate" scenes (only flirting for comedic purposes). There are fighting scenes that are sometimes intense, but never anything horrible. There is some light swearing, but again, nothing too terrible.

It depends on the anime. If you've only seen anime like Naruto and Dragon Ball, it's understandable that you wouldn't like it. I am not fond of those shows, or really any shonen genre anime. Try some different genres! Some are: Sad: Clannad & Clannad Afterstory; Your Lie in April; Orange; Violet Evergarden; Happy/ Slice of Life: Lucky Star; The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya ; Disturbing/Horror/Psych Horror: Happy Sugar Life; Mirai Nikki (The Future Diary); Another; Erased; and those are just the very basics. do your research and find out what you like!

Another anime similar to Death Note is The Promised Neverland. It's similar in the way how it's psychological. If what you're looking for is "older boy trying to not get caught", then try watching Parasyte. A good place to get Death Note merch is Hot Topic, FYE, and Barnes and Noble. For shopping online, try Viz, Otaku Mode, Crunchy Roll, Atsuko, and Etsy.

Modern cartoons use weird proportions, and anime uses more realistic proportions.

Even a very mature 9 year old might not be able to understand Death Note and some of the themes might not be suitable. If she really wants to watch it, let her, but explain that it's meant for older people.

She seems to have found an interest she really likes and it's important to be happy for her that she has. If it's that much of a problem for you and it doesn't help to frequently change the subject, try talking to her about maybe talking about anime a little less and telling her how you feel. Although this might hurt her feelings, so try to suggest other things to talk about, not just tell her you don't want to always talk about anime.

It depends on the maturity of your son - you know him best. It should be fine if he is mature enough and he will enjoy it.
