I’m looking to make an anime list for my husband to truly introduce him into the world of anime. He’s been watching One Piece as it’s a favorite of mine, but he’s been getting overwhelmed. Hoping to give him some options that aren’t as overwhelming and maybe a little lighthearted. So what anime(s) would you recommend?

Id say maybe some Outlaw star, Trigun not the new one throw in some Cowboy bebop, if you wanna go lighter and have a nice laugh Konosuba, the devil is a part timer. Trying to stick to a small set and length. @Beestie had that one charged and ready huh bro lol

Vision of Escaflowne for a slow pace mecha story
Ghost in the Shell for action
DBZ for mindless combat
Anything from Studio Ghibli for the greatest stories

I’d say Death Note. It’s short (only one season) and a completed story. Were mindblowing at the time I was watching. The other anime I find amazing may be too much on the fan, but anyways:
My Dress Up Darling
Evangelion
Cyberpunk Edgerunners

I think a sample of different genres is the way to go:
Comedy: Watamote
Romance: Toradora
Action: Full Metal Alchemist
Sci Fi: Bubblegum Crisis
Martial Arts: Ranma 1/2 (comedy) / Fist of the North Star (action)
Fantasy: Slayers
Fan Service: Shomin Sample
Slice of Life: My Dress Up Darling
Movie: Spirited Away
