Which of these animes do i force my normie friend to watch?

[King Of Lolis]

To keep it short theres a special day of mine in 2 days and hes gonna come chill at my house.
Given we usually eat pizza at his house and watch whatever he puts on, il do the same when we eat pizza and put on my show but i dont know which one might appeal to him.
So choices are:

Fate/Zero
My favorite series besides JoJo and i want him to watch this one given its the only good Fate part but he dosent like king Arthur being a female.
Not to mention first episode is like 54 minutes long.


Cowboy bebop
A classic and he likes space stuff so this might interest him.

Vinland saga
One of best stories out there but it only gets good like after 6 episodes when main character is more mature.

Hellsing ultimate
Who dosent like vampires,especially Alucard. This might interest him but just like Fate, first episode is like 50 minutes long so he might lose interest



So, whats best option for him?
He dosent like anime but he does quite enjoy JoJos bizzare adventure and One Punch Man

I’m confused, is this just a friend or a friend friend.

Best friend
I even see him as a brother, the only who never tried to backstab me in any way
I known the man since middle school and we been best friends for about 10-12 years now

Y’all are best friends you should know that man and what he likes more then anyone in this thread. You know what to chose and what you think he’ll enjoy more then any of us. Go with what YOU think not what WE think.

Vinland Saga, the plot moves fast, there is plenty of action, and it ties into enough history that he should know enough of the setting to follow along.

Well i think he might enjoy either of these if he sees 1 or 2 episodes and then curiosity gets him to find out what happens next
He seems more open now about games so anime might also unstiff him a bit but i dont know which would really help that
All of these are good if you give them time

True but he might hate the start when thorfin is like 6 years old and acts all whiny
That was also a downside for me when i watched last year but i got more will than him and always give animes few more episodes to change my mind
Glad i stuck with vinland tho, it got really good

[RaccoonBiceps.♡]

Vinland Saga ( also I'd argue Thorfinn only matures in s2 :p )
Cowboy Bebop

How about Chainsaw Man tho?

Thorfinn was cool tho when he started slaying at age 12.
But overall think we all watched the show for askeladd back then.

And chainsaw man would destroy him
Hes not a fan of simps and well denji is the biggest anime simp there is

I showed him a clip of best man Kishibe beating them up in training but no interest still


Also i havent read part 2 yet because denji now wants to get laid... And i uh dont wanna see that either lol
I loved first part because of Kishibe and Aki

[Supersquid]

None. I've never watched anime, so it's not worth watching.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

That reminds me of some older anime...
The Slayers

Cowboy Bebop episode with the cowboy guy who keeps a horse in his apartment.

But is it okay to skip first episode?
Gotta show how the gang got together or it might be confusing no?

I definitely have to go with Cowboy Bebop. I know non-anime fans that enjoy that.

I do really kind of want to insist that you put Trigun on the list. It really is an outstanding cowboy space comedy series. And when the action hits it's pretty freaking good as well. I actually was debating using a character from that instead of venom snake for my profile name. Because wolfwood is freaking awesome.

And you really need to be careful with Helsing ultimate. You have to remember it definitely has a hard R rating. The gore really kicks it up by episode 4. With Nazis eating babies. Try the original release OAV. Just called Helsing. It's the kind of condensed version of some of the beginning of the manga and then it gets kind of original later. It's still very good it's just it cuts down on the door a lot.

Never watched trigun and thats why its not here


And he would love hellsing ultimate
We both got that dark edgy vibe so blood,gore and all that dosent bother us one bit
I dare say, the more, the better
Hell we both watched goblin slayer and that didnt bothered us till we found out its harem anime instead

Hellsing ova was ok but its slow imo
Ultimate has like all stuff in first episode while ova took 2-5 eps for just alucard vs anderson fight
So that might be downside for him ya know

I don't think everything has to start with the origin story. Also, that is kind of cowboy guy's origin story anyway isn't it?

Dont remember much, been like 3 years since i saw it
But i know first two eps or so are them taking faye valentine in the team and later ed and ein.
Maybe its better get to know the characters before doing a random episode with all of them?
Well thats how i felt about dragon ball, i couldnt watch z before seeing original and knowing the story behind goku and bulma ya know

[Your Mom's Oshi]

I'd say go straight to Citrus or something similar. Best to shock the normies with the good stuff.

[DarkCrystalMethod]

I didn't think I'd like "Fruits Basket" but it was a really decent anime anyway and had a good story.
