Anime Recommendation and Suggestion Query

[Brunor10]

Ive been reading gotwoot forums for the past few yaers but never joined I dont know why, I currently watch Naruto, One Piece, Bleach.

Ok So, my girlfriend who will definately not watch anime has agreed to give a series a test episode run to see if she likes it, oine episode she says and if she doesnt like it she wont watch it no more.

Im 20year Male and shes 17Years Old

What would be something she would fall inlove with after the first episode, cant be kiddish but has to be more on the mature end, not really an action series either and no hentai?

Hmm...

I'd say Mushishi. But I'm sure they're better choices out there.

Is this the right Section?

I just read about it and it seems alittle childish.. anything else anyone else recoomends open to opinions!

This should be in off-topic. And just forget your girlfriend liking anime. No good anime has 1 really good all encompassing episode. She has to agree to watch an arc at least, not just one episode. You can try a movie. Akira or Ghost in the Shell if she likes Sci-Fi or liked the Matrix. She can watch those dubbed if she hates reading subtitles. Kiki's Delivery Service if she likes fantasy.

How about Death Note? Seems to fit your general description pretty well.

One bit of advice, though, don't stretch yourself too thin searching for the "one" anime; you're taking a gamble, regardless.

noone really talks about it but everyone(who watched: liked it).

Any Ghibli movie could be a good choice. While they are anime, at least over here they are vastly more popular and well known (among all the population) than any other form of anime made, having been in theaters and having very good dvd sales. And of course they are top-notch quality.

I'd be careful with animes like Death Note, unless you know for sure she likes live action series similar to that. People who have watched lots of anime instantly like it, but for somebody who has never seen any it might look strange and ominous. But who knows...

You should also consider good comedy series, if she likes comedy. They are vastly different compared to Western / American comedy in general, and thus insanely refreshing.

Gankutsuou. I think it is a waste to show this series to an anime newb because they probably won't be able to appreciate it as much, but it should do the trick. I agree that she must watch more than one episode, though. Why won't she watch anime?
