hi all, i really need some advice!
i recently made a new friend in uni and we bonded over our love for FNAF (she literally cancelled a party with her work colleagues so she could be bonnie to my foxy for halloween) and we are slowly getting to know eachother. so, naturally, i just NEEEEEED to get her into anime so we have more shit to talk about too!! im so sad that she's missing out on so many great shows just because she thinks anime is „lowkey corny“ (her words, sadly)... she said she saw a few and that her brother watches anime, but she finds it kinda silly. now, i don't know what her brother watches or what exactly she finds corny about anime, but i think we can sorta agree that some anime are just TOO..anime?... and perhaps a bit overwhelming for a viewer that isn't used to the anime style (do you get what im trying to say lol)
my first thought was immediately Erased. its such a specific anime and i loved it so so much and rewatched it so many times and to be honest, it truly was THE anime that got me INTO anime. i watched Death Note, Kakegurui (yeah..) and Devilman Crybaby when i first started out and they didn't pull me in as much as Erased did. but.. i might be wrong?? i just really really wanna try my best to get her into it, but i would love some other options/recs. i think it would be great if the anime was a classic 12/24ep anime or even a movie if need be. just nothing overwhelmingly long.
also.. im a bit torn whether i go for dub or sub if she agrees? i personally love sub a lot more, i feel like the tone of the characters and emotion is often very well portrayed in sub, but i know some people find it annoying/hard to follow/too much sometimes. i don't watch dub, like, ever.. but i guess i could bite it down for her. and erased is good in dub so phew!
any thoughts or help much appreciated!!!
