Hey, I am new to this site and to anime and I was just wondering what anime I could watch / read to start me off. I have previously watched Bleach, which started my interest in anime and I was just wondering if someone on here could give me some pointers as to any other anime that may be of interest to me.

@Dragoness1993: Welcome to the site, Dragoness!

As for anime, I'll recommend Nana, S.K.E.T. Dance, Gunslinger Girl and Pretty Cure for starters. Also, are there any specific sub-genres thet you're interested in? (Shoujo, Seinien, Josei, etc.)

@Dragoness1993: Welcome to Anime Vice, if you need any help let me know.

If you like Bleach, then I would suggest similar shows like Fairy Tail and Naruto. You can find links to watch anime like that here.

Welcome to the site, Dragoness! (Is 1993 your DOB? XD)

For now, I'd recommend similar shows like Fairy Tail, One Piece and Naruto as you've just begun.

Apart from these, if you would like something different, I'd recommend DeathNote. Definitely a must watch/read.

@Dragoness1993: Welcome to the site, read this (unfinished) list, pick something, hopefully you'll like it. Especially the top 10.

Also, check out Newten's list of anime you can watch (legally!) online.

See you around.

@Dragoness1993:

Welcome to Anime Vice! I agree with some of the users above in checking out Fairy Tail and Death Note. Other shows that I enjoy that you might as well are Bakuman, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Love Hina, FLCL, and the movie Summer Wars. In addition, take a look at the Beginner's Guides on the site for a good idea of what some series are about.

Feel free to ask me or any of the Mods and other users if you have questions about a show, manga, or the site in general!

Welcome aboard!

I have a short list here of suggestions I use in these circumstances: Under-suggested shows for the anime novice nothing too deep here

If you liked Bleach, then maybe D.Gray Man (paranormal), Witch Hunter Robin (paranormal), Rurouni Kenshin (sword-play), Samurai Champloo (sword-play), and the other shonens (One Piece, Naruto/Naruto Shippuden, Fairy Tail).

There are a lot of different genres in anime that I haven't mentioned above, so here are a few in case you're interested seeing other types of shows:

  1. Romance/Romantic Comedy: School Rumble, Toradora, Kimi ni Todoke, Nodame Cantabile, Lovely Complex, Arakawa Under the Bridge
  2. Slice of Life/SOL Comedy: Hidamari Sketch, Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh, Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, Bunny Drop
  3. Sports: Cross Game, Taishou Baseball Girls, Eyeshield 21
  4. School Comedy: GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
  5. Paranormal Mystery: xxxHolic, Ghost Hunt, Boogiepop Phantom
  6. Fantasy: The Slayers, The Sacred Blacksmith, El Hazard
  7. Classics: Galaxy Express 999, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, The Dirty Pair
