Title: Suggestions ASAP!
Faery-phoenix - October 26, 2007 03:42 AM (GMT)
I finally got my sister to agree to watch around 26 episodes of one anime! :D
Her current obsessions are full house, Hanah Montana, and Tom Cruise movies.
I need a really good one that I could have her watch. The only thing is I don't think she would watch any subtitles. So I need suggestions. Something you think she would be blown away by.

So fansubs are out. Hrm. How old is she?
Faery-phoenix - October 26, 2007 05:12 AM (GMT)
she is 19 . But she doesn't like to read ... So she would never sit through subtitles.She likes cute and cudly animals or babies and spends most of her free time on myspace, also she has a very dirty mind.

She's 19 and likes Hanah Montana? Isn't that one of those Disney channel artificial pop stars?! Does she have brain problems or something?!

I agree with Mike. She sounds like one of those really stupid people who drag down the fandom and God only knows we have too many of those already. But as to your request.
FMP maybe? Hmmmmmmm Black Lagoon has been getting dubbed. So has Beck.
Or could you get her to watch two 13 episode series? That might make your job easier.

A whole post and not helping any. What the hell Mike, what the hell? What is wrong with you, all your posts are being equally ridiculous. You're one of those people I can count on to NOT act immature!
Alright, your sister sounds like she would watch animes I try to avoid so this makes it hard, but I'm gonna say, how about Boys over Flowers?
Faery-phoenix - October 26, 2007 03:51 PM (GMT)
She isn't exactly stupid. She is probably as bright as me but doesn't apply herself . She is really good at art though. As to why she watches Hannah Montannah I don't know she just loves it.
But yea she is almost the exact opposite of me soo... hmm. Anyways thanks for the suggestions smokie and yuffie. I'm trying to expand her mind a bit, I do like the idea of getting her to watch two animes 13 episodes each though.

I think, what you watch on tv has nothing to do with intelligence, really. I mean, people say I'm smart but I haven't stopped watching Pokemon. Or Ed Edd and Eddy.

I'm 17 and I like Hannah Montana....
Anyway, what about the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? I really like that anime a lot and I think it's really easy to get others into it too.
KaiserMikeB - October 26, 2007 09:16 PM (GMT)
Haruhi is a terrible suggestion, it's like Excel Saga, you need to have prior anime experience to enjoy it.
I say go with something stupid but enjoyable, like Kanon. Or perhaps play up the angsty teen thing and hit her with some Kare Kano, Honey and Clover, Paradise Kiss, or even Marmalade Boy.
Alternatively, you could pick a fusion of stupid but enjoyable and really good, and serve her some hot Mahoro action!
Lothlin - October 26, 2007 10:27 PM (GMT)
Hrm. I second Paradise Kiss! Short, but awesome.
GAH. I know subtitles are mostly out, and it hasn't been dubbed yet... but why not Host Club? With the other stuff she seems to like, that might hit the mark.
Faery-phoenix - October 26, 2007 11:32 PM (GMT)
Host club would be a awesome idea if I can get her to watch subtiles.
In the beginning I was considering showing her something like Lain just to mess with her mind but yea I probably shouldn't do that :P
stupid yet enjoyable or a long those lines might be the better bet.

I was also going to say Host Club except for the subtitles thing.
You COULD wait for it to be dubbed, since it was recently licensed, but I'm still emo about that little happening. They're going to raep it.
But if you can convince her to watch subs, I vote Host Club XD
Lothlin - October 27, 2007 01:46 AM (GMT)
I'm still hoping and praying that it'll be a good dub. PRAYING WITH EVERY APPENDAGE CROSSED.
KaiserMikeB - October 27, 2007 10:00 AM (GMT)
Why is it so important for her to start watching anime anyhow?
Yuffie - October 27, 2007 01:22 PM (GMT)
Faery said that she's trying to expand her mind.
Faery-phoenix - October 27, 2007 08:16 PM (GMT)
yea that's pretty much it.Since this is the first time she ever agreed to watch something I was excited.

Azumanga Daioh, It's cute hilarious and whenever the one zombie-ish looking guy is around it's like a magnified Miroku moment. Or if not that than maybe something like Maburaho would be good. Or Magicano, if you've ever seen it it's really funny pretty random and perverted too so it's a good choice. And a final choice I'd recommend would be Ghost Stories. It's absoulutely hilarious and pretty crude in it's humor.

Your sister and mine need to get together, she is 20 and still likes that stuff. Just let her be her self, you cant make her like anime.
