Ok so, I’m trying to get my husband into anime. He has seen me watching over the years and just never got into it, but that’s not to say he is turned of by it. He just always works on his side projects while I binge One Piece or whatever. He has never given it a solid chance.

Recently, to my delight, he asked me if he should try out a show with me to see if he gets into it. I feel like I kind of have one shot to make a good impression, lol. I am trying to brainstorm if there is a good strategy to give any history / backstory to anime and also trying to pick which show out of the thousand options is my best bet. He generally likes action and is into long character arcs. He was a fan of Game of Thrones.

So anyway, I’m here to ask what you guys think is my best approach. Any recs for specific shows, movies, or even just anime genres would be much appreciated.

Hit me with your best and pls wish me luck! :)
