It took me a while to get a grip of the plot/characters but once I did I couldn't stop watching.

What is it about anime that gets people?


I think that is due to many of them have very good plots. You know, I really don't remember why I started watching anime. I believe I was searching for good series on the Internet, and then 'Death Note' appeared in a recommendation list. I watched it and I loved it.

However, there are several things I don't like about anime such as generic personalities, girls with huge eyes or boobs, stupid and non-sense stories LOL That's why I choose very carefully which anime to watch. I don't enjoy wasting my time...

Btw, 'Monster' is an awesome anime too. Wink
I think there's a lot of anime fans just like you (me included). I don't really watch that much anyway but I still think anime "industry" is much healthier in general than western live-action movie/tv industry. Even though there's a lot of crappy anime, there's also a lot of very ambitious and intriguing ones, produced every year. I think Japanese people are bolder when it comes to controversial/philosophical themes and they somehow succeed at combining them with accessibility (the most recent example for me is Attack on Titan, hyped as hell all around the globe). Something that Hollywood doesn't even try to do anymore with their brainless blockbusters (except maybe movies like Inception, both extremely popular and ambitious).

I agree on the problems you mentioned, but again, there's a significant number of animes that managed to avoid or at least reduce their presence (Steins;Gate and Code Geass are good examples of character driven anime)

Also, the reason I watch anime is that... it's animated. I generally don't like live-action movies that much because you can literally turn off your imagination - you have everything on the screen: real people, real places. With anime, however, your imagination still has to process what you see and to me it's amazing. 

I'm not an expert on anime but based on my limited experience I can recommend:

Steins;Gate 
Bakemonogatari 
Code Geass (1st and especially 2nd season)
Wolf's Rain
Ergo Proxy
Death Note
Cowboy Bebop
Sora No Woto
Attack on Titan
Psycho-Pass
Baccano!

Baccano! is one of the best anime ever. I'll have to watch it again some time soon.
