CATDOLL: What kind of animation would you recommend to your friends to join otaku? Japanese netizens mainly recommend healing animations

As an anime fan myself, sometimes I really want to invite my friends to watch anime together. However, the anime that otakus usually follow is a bit difficult for ordinary people to get started with. If the recommendation is not good, it is easy to scare away the friends who have been brought in with great difficulty. Therefore, when "recommending" non-anime otaku friends to watch anime, it is very important to choose what kind of anime to let them watch. Now a Japanese media has conducted such a survey to see what anime works anime otakus most want to recommend to non-anime otakus.

A total of 125 anime geeks participated in this survey, ranging in age from 10 to 60 years old, including 44 male viewers and 81 female viewers. The following are the most recommended animes selected by the geeks.

Summer Wars: "Anyone can understand it and feel the family spirit." (Office employee, female, 32 years old)

"The Girl Who Leapt Through Time": "Beyond reality on the basis of reality is the charm of animation. Director Mamoru Hosoda's works are easy for anyone to accept." (Editor, male, 31 years old)

"Cowboy Bebop": "The plot, music, and animation are all great. It's easy to accept and has a certain otaku feel." (Network Manager, Male, 28 years old)

Theatrical version of "Tamako's Market": "It describes the youth love experience that everyone has!" (IT major, male, 30 years old)

"Toradora!": "The story setting is very interesting, and the animation production is also very detailed. The narrative rhythm is good and it won't make people feel bored." (Office employee, male, 22 years old)

"Anohana": "Everyone has regrets about important people during adolescence, and people who are interested in animation or not can feel this." (Student, female, 20 years old)

It seems that these warm and healing animations are very suitable for non-anime fans to watch. The quality of these animations and the story plots can impress the audience and make people feel the unique charm of animation. I wonder if you have any good animations that you want to recommend to your friends? Why not tell us about it?
