My kids have watched anime for years, but I recently learned that their favorite is Scout Regiment. I’ve never followed any of this before and I’m trying to figure out the best way I can try and learn more (search results are overwhelming!) so I can randomly drop some comments that catch them by surprise.

Can anyone give a noob some pointers?

edit: So much love here. Thanks for all the feedback. I’m diving in… wish me luck.

    How old are your kids? Attack on titan is great, but so gory.
    It’s not a bad place to start but there are plenty of anime to watch. You might like some of the older stuff first like Trigun.

    I personally get all my family into anime by showing them Hayayo Miyazaki movies like my neighbor Totoro, spirited away, castle in the sky, ponyo, howls moving castle.

    Check out good places to start on Google. Find an anime that went for 1 or 2 seasons. Find genres you’ll enjoy.

    My wife loves mysteries so she like detective Conan… not a small anime by any means. I like fighting so I watch dragon ball z, bleach, Naruto.

      The ones I’ve spoken about here are all well into high school. Not surprised they like the gore. Horror films are definitely all the rage with them and their friends. Thanks for sharing your personal insights. I have heard of Dragonball Z which made me happy!

        Lol yeah. That make sense then. Hell’s paradise would be one to get into. More gory and exotic. Mission to get eternal life with a sort of battle royale. One of the better anime this season
