Anime suggestions for my dad?

[radstylix]

Gimme some anime suggestions for my dad please! He's really been getting into anime recently.

He has already watched:

• Baki
• One Punch Man
• Demon Slayer (waiting for Infinity Arc movie to be available online)
• Dr Stone (waiting for the final arc to be adapted)
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (just finished)

Other mainstream anime are probably good suggestions. Anyway, I'm thinking of suggesting he watch these next:

• Death Note
• Avatar Last Airbender (yeah yeah "anime", I know)
• Mob Psycho 100
• Attack on Titan
• Cowboy Bebop
• Ghost in the Shell
• Cyberpunk Edgerunners
• Inuyashiki
• Parasyte
• Frieren
• Dandadan

After these, I'm drawing a blank 😅
I don't want to suggest series that are too fanservicey else I would have suggested Fire Force.

Also, anyone know any good sci-fi series? He also likes normie stuff like Star Wars and Star Trek. I admit, I don't watch a lot of sci-fi series.

I recommend Gundam 8th MS Team and the original Legend of Galactic Heroes (not The Neue These)

Okay - how old is he, and what's his stance on Monty Python?

He's 65+. I dunno, we're not American nor British.

Bruh that series is for more advanced weebs. I doubt he'd know some of the anime-specific tropes there.

 

[undeed]

Planetes
Orbs
Psycho Pass
Aldnoah S1

Steins;Gate, the dub is nice too.

EDIT: Though there is one risky scene that might be a dealbreaker for you if your dad doesn't like that stuff:

Huh, Orb: On the Movements of the Earth sounds interesting, if that's what you're talking about 👌

Steins Gate isnt for entry level weebs though.

Really? I have recommended it to plenty of normal people who have loved it, some who even later got into anime.

Hellsing Ultimate
Kakushigoto

I'm just being a shithead, I dislike that show. Tee hee

Yeah I love Steins;Gate too but hmm...

Eizouken

That'll kill his interest in anime lol. It's more Japanese cartoon "about" anime rather than anime itself.

E: it's absolutely not for anime beginners, but it's also not for anime enjoyers because it lacks any anime-isms. basically something for people who were into anime.

 

[Manko-sensei]

For Science-Fiction I have some suggestions, a series to watch calmly and some films:

• Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu
• Megazone 23
• Galaxy Express 999
• GREY: Digital Target
• Kaze no Na wa Amnesia

Yeah, Joshiraku would be better

What about Ascendance of a Bookworm? It's an isekai about a soon-to-be librarian who dies and reincarnates into the body of a child of a poor family. She later finds out books are very rare for anyone but the nobles so she goes out to make books herself. It's actually really good and deals with things like family, nobility, and the process of making different kinds of books from old.

It's got three seasons + a fourth one coming out in 2026, no fanservice either. Also Myne (the main character) is such a gremlin.
This is definitely not a bias recommendation because I'm a big fan of this work no..

yeah, sorry the title is too long for me to write in the middle of cooking

If he likes more mechs, I'm going to add Gundam Thunderbolts and Megalobox
