I’m trying to get my little brother into anime (he is 14) and I showed him gurren lagann. Now he can’t watch anything else becuase it isn’t as good as gurren lagann, what do I do? Also I guess gurren lagann thread

>Now he can’t watch anything else becuase it isn’t as good as gurren lagann, what do I do?
Wait for him to grow up.

Make him learn riichi mahjong, then make him watch Akagi. This will ruin anime for him, for good. Unless he's a brainlet.
>Also I guess gurren lagann thread
What a brainlet show.

>he is 14
Well no wonder he thinks that crap is the best thing ever.

NGE or code geass

I love it too. But I can still enjoy other anime, and can accept that not everything is giant drill fighting spirit.

FLCL? Seems like the perfect demographic for it, but idk how it may be received if he's just looking for "Explosions: The Animated Series"

>actually giving out recs
You two should be instantly banned.

I will try flcl, didn’t even cross my mind. (For some reason)

>he is 14
Unironically Naruto.

That won’t work gurren lagann only gets better the more you think about it. At least that was my experience

I had the same problem with a friend when I showed him FMA:Brotherhood

Escaflowne

Anons are still acting like GL is bad? It's been 11 years...

He doesn’t want to watch naruto, he has seen all of the fat cosplayers and has watched endless amounts of filthy frank

you want him ruined or keeping him normie

Seconded.
Also sounds like an okay time to drop in a bunch of late 90s-early 2000s shonen, which as a newcomer he might find extremely appealing before realizing how tropey it is.

At 14 I assume he would be interested in ecchi more than anything.

Exposure to Boku no Pico and the follow-up Pico to Chico at an early age is strongly correlated with success in all areas of life.

>There are people who unironically think Gurren Lagann isn't the best action series of its decade.

Make him ruined, I wanna make a monotagari reference and have him laugh along with me kind of ruined

No, he was skeptical of the fan service in gurren lagann and I said “what are you gay” and peer pressured him into watching it through.

Show him something even better than TTGL. Like this.

If he gay then Free! or Yuri on Ice
Or some otherwise homo like Kuroko No Basket

Saucenao didn’t work what is that

He isn’t gay. I was just joking.

Show him Lucky Star, which is better than TTGL.

firsts are always special....so....yeah it might take him a while to grow beyond it and love another....

I had this issue too when I was younger.

One Punch Man. Also Naruto is good for that age I guess

>implying

What the fuck are you talking about my sister watched boku no pico when she was like 11 and now she’s depressed and cuts herself

Kill la Kill, Parasyte the Maxim, One Punch Man, FMA:BH, Mob Psycho 100, try those

If Evangelion and Code fucking Geass where the only other anime I watched I’d think noting was as good as Gurren Lagann to.

One punch man, that’s a good one for him. (I also added flcl due to a anons suggestion above)

...

Parasite and kill la kill wouldn’t work, becuase my mom would hunt me down and kill me once she saw him watching it, but the rest would work

>Gurren Lagann
pfft, yare yare daze. manuke yarou. ichiban anime is harem desu. otouto ni harem anime wo miru desu.

This

I'm not kidding in that post. 14 year olds like harem anime. trust me on this
t. once a 14 year old.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable showing him that, I will stick to mob psycho, flcl, and one punch man esc shows

she obviously wasn't very intelligent then. there are always outliers. does she like yaoi now?

That's because you're a retarded manchild. Hopefully your brother's smarter.

>calling someone a man child on Sup Forums
I would say underage but that would imply hypocrisy, so your underage

Boku no Hero? It's new. It's popular. Normies love the shit out of it. No shortage of froggy porn when he inevitably falls in love.

Hero Aca will work, thanks user

let him believe whaever the fuck he wants. hes 14 you stupid fuck.

>Not recognizing the badge from hell

More like you are 14 y/o and want to get some recommendations.

That’s not the problem. I want to get him into anime. It’s fine if he likes lagann, I like it too, but I want him to watch more

Show him some of the movies and OVA's of the 80s and 90s. Show him some of that oldtaku gold.

Also try one punch man or kill la kill.

have him watch dragonball and dont come back to Sup Forums until he finishes the manga and every episode till the end of Z

Top kek. Good on your bro.

Wouldn’t it be smarter to request trash if you really believed I was 14

Cowboy Bebop.

Now here's the trick. Show him the movie first, then tell him there's a TV series. Hook him with the shorter option first.

He watched the first 2 episodes and thought it was boring. (I expect someday he might come back and give it another shot and love it, or not love it, whatever he feels. That’s how I responded to madoka at first, and now it’s been 5 years and it’s one of my favorites now

G Gundam could be interesting for him. When I was 12 I didn't care for the other gundam series, but G was a lot of fun. Outlaw Star was also great but it really hasn't held up as well as it had in my mind.

>He watched the first 2 episodes and thought it was boring
Really this is how I viewed it as a kid. The reason why a lot of Adult swim Anime got big in the states is that Adult swim would marathon that shit all the time. At the time torrents would take days and streams were buffer hell 240p garbage. So it pretty much became a show that I ended up catching an episode here or there of, then eventually began paying more and more attention to it before getting to the point of enjoying it.

I at least know that is how FLCL became so popular.

Your sister doesnt seem very smart. I watched all 3 boku eps with my sister and brother on a christmas eve before, we're still good. My sister does like yaoi now though
