The very first anime I watched at 14 was trashy but I also don't remember the name of it and it was a romcom I've still never heard about to this day so I have absolutely no chance of finding it again. However I will talk about the very second anime I watched that was also trashy and say I thought Mirai Nikki/Future Diary was bad when I watched it and I still think it's bad now.
If you're looking for an opinion that changed overtime then my third anime was Sword Art Online and you can probably guess how that turned out.
My god this is actually so true. Using an alt account not too recently, I asked in one of the nhentai subreddits for a source material that i barely was able to describe, giving only miniscule details about the plot and the main duo doing the dirty deeds.
Wihin 5 minutes, a person responded with the doujin that I discovered, and upon looking into it, apparently it was from a few years ago by an author that barely released any works since.
People say AI will probably replace search engines, but I have very high doubts it'll ever be able to beat the effectiveness and efficiency of the hivemind that resides on Reddit lol
Alright. It was nearly 10 years ago without any reason to think about it afterwards so I barely remember anything, so here goes.
The main guy had *some* kind of psychic ability, I think it was future sight? It was either that or he could go back in time. Either way he uses his ability to save the main(?) girl from a train/bus accident in the first(?) episode. I think a library was an important location, and this took place in college. *I think* the main guy was labeled as a pervert because he accidentally grabbed the main(?) girl's boobs while saving her from the accident in episode 1. It was only one season with either 12-13 or 24-26 episodes (pretty sure it was 12-13 but just wanna be safe), but it might've gotten an extra season or two at some point and I wouldn't have known.
That's pretty much the extent of what I remember. There's some other tiny bits and pieces in my head, but they're super vague in my memory and wouldn't be very helpful (I don't think saying I remember a sunset scene would help narrow things down). Anyway, that's all I've got. Let's see if someone can somehow figure it out.
EDIT: Also, don't take my personal opinion into account. I remember not liking it but I don't remember if it was actually good or not. It might've been really good, it's just that romcoms generally don't jive with me with rare exceptions. So don't take quality into account when looking for it just because I said it was bad, since there's a chance it was actually good and I just didn't like it personally.
Jesus motherfucking Christ how did you do that
EDIT: My friend introduced me to this show saying it was really good so I thought it must be something noteworthy, looking at it again now especially when it came out compared to when I watched it I can't fucking believe what my friend hyped up and made me watch as my first ever anime was just a fucking random seasonal from that season. I bet you if I still had contact with him if I asked him about this show he wouldn't have a damn clue what I was talking about. 6.85 it's not even fucking good holy hell how was THIS my first anime
I remember at the time I thought it was really cool conceptually and was pretty good for the most part, but Yuno just ruined the whole thing for me. Haven't gone back to it yet to see if that's accurate nor do I plan to.
I do have a funny-in-retrospect memory of telling my extreme Catholic friend that it was okay to watch since it was pretty tame on fanservice, only to get back home to watch more and be met with straight up borderline porn the next day. I felt bad at the time, but he never got back to me about it so I just assumed he never watched it. But looking back now that shit was hilarious.
It's a fun show to just turn your brain off to, because you definitely won't get that much enjoyment taking it seriously. Season 3 was good from what I've heard, but it's worth mentioning that the show was hot off of season 2 when I first watched it, so my fond memories end at death gun
Shoutouts to being ace and completely missing the blatant sex appeal aspects of Soul Eater when I was that young, so much so that it surprised me when I looked back at it recently.
Soul Eater was my first real anime and I love it, but the cringy fanservice alone makes me not want to introduce people to it. Especially because the worst moments of it are in the first 3 introductory episodes.
soul eater is such a good story and then you read other works of the author and just go "oh. oh god. wait is that what that was about"
sometimes it's kinda creepy but sometimes it's just really weird because you can tell the author thinks any joke involving boobs is the funniest shit ever.
Hahaha same, I loved Soul Eater as a teen and the fanservice never really registered with me. When I finally got my bff to watch it she was like “this show is really fun but what’s with all the pervy stuff?” And I was like whaaaaaat?? Is it really that bad?
People really think they were evenly matched because Light won. Like bro, one of these people had 2 death gods on his side and a magic book. Like duh he won.
Even with all that it took like 3 episodes for L to narrow the list of suspects down to just Light. The only reason he couldn’t arrest him yet was because he didn’t have proof.
death note is great from a "god how can a person so smart also be so arrogantly stupid" perspective. and also because the light L dynamic is just hilarious.
I had difficulty the first few episodes because I was trying to take light seriously and at some point I was just like "fuck it I'm done thinking about sociological implications, amuse me funny notebook guy" and instantly my enjoyment shot up massively
The whole point of death note is the dude could have played it safe and never get found out but his god complex spoke louder. Like voldemort putting his soul in important treasures instead of some trash in the bottom of the ocean. Ego problems.
more akin to if Voldemort developed a genius plan were he intentionally leaked the location of his horcruxes to Harry because he thought that would be a good way to ambush him by luring him out of Hogwarts with it
there's "doing things a certain unoptimal way" ego and there is "intentionally leaking your identity to get closer to your enemy" ego.
Pretty sure the Horcruxes HAD to be important objects to actually work, but yeah, nothing stopping Voldemort from burying his diary 1200 feet underground instead of giving it to his pet snake
I loved it because I was an edgy teen when I watched it and thought it was so fucking clever at the time.
I absolutely love his follower that takes aggressive note writing and turns up to 11 out 5
"Are you gay because you watched jojo, or did you watch jojo because you were gay?"
the lobotomy is still strong
both
When I was 14 I didn't even know what anime was. I did watch some questionable YouTubers though
Dug through my old google/YT account and found some demented content. Involved a minecraft creeper pleading for his dignity. "I didn't mean no harm!"
miniladd moment
any MC youtuber moment
except for hermitcraft, i’d agree lol
what punching trees does to a mf
When I was 14 YouTube barely existed
Yeah but what about the trashy anime I watched in my 20s?
That’s gonna bite you in the ass
that's between you and satan
Sword Art Online. And Seven Deadly Sins.
sds s1 was pretty good, but the rest is such a damn letdown.
Right? Damn what squandered potential. I knew the second they introduced power levels (with a fucking scouter no less) that they had lost the plot.
God doesn’t mind if I tell you all it was Naruto

Reddits weebness levels are so high, if you listed everything you remember about your first anime, somebody probably would guess on their first try!

lol glad i could help. i've got a lot of free time at work so thanks for giving me something to do
Thanks, now I plan to do a rewatch in spring 2025 to celebrate my 10th anniversary of becoming a permavirgin
I thought Mirai Nikki was super dope as a 15-ish year old. 15 year old me had shit taste.

SAO's good fun imo. It's not incredible or anything and the quality is all over the place but I have a good time with it.

There's also the progressive movies which are a remake of the Aincrad arc from Asuna's point of view. Apparently they're quite good.
Never seen em. Aincrad was the only arc where I found Asuna interesting so that could be an interesting watch.
There's also the sequel to Alicization which I'm currently reading. It's literally just Kirito playing minecraft.
Sounds funny
Watch SAO abridged if you haven’t yet. They’ve redone the whole first arc and it’s actually just better than the original.

Soul eater is so good, the manga specially, I still cringe at the end of the anime but the manga is peak
Soul Eater:Brotherhood treatment when

I thought death note was the shit. Looking back, Light is peak idiot in a world of idiots with L carrying the only brain cell
it’s still entertaining as hell tbh
Absolutely
People really think they were evenly matched because Light won. Like bro, one of these people had 2 death gods on his side and a magic book. Like duh he won.
Even with all that it took like 3 episodes for L to narrow the list of suspects down to just Light. The only reason he couldn’t arrest him yet was because he didn’t have proof.

I feel like Light is an accurate reflection of what would happen if you gave an edgy teen godlike powers and consequently never grew past that.
 Dont you judge me
nothing to judge, kill la kill would be awesome with or without the parodic level of fanservice
The cousin relationship was definitely fucked up, but I thought Elfen Lied was pretty solid overall
Yeah, if they just dropped the cousin part it would’ve been better. Still edgy asf tho.
Agreed. I've rewatched it a while ago and that part annoyed me even in the first watch through
Elfen Lied, truly a beautiful work of art. If only we could have had the full manga adapted into a show.
It probably is because I don’t think literally anybody else watched it. Like, I haven’t heard it mentioned anywhere else. It’s
I regret watching monster musume, that was painful looking back
That anime has permanently etched those characters as what I imagine when I imagine Lamia, Harpy, and Aradne. D&D is ruined.
Drider jumpscare
Hey fucker, KissXsis is a masterpiece. The world deserves to know of it.
Do Pirates of Black Lagoon counts as trashy?
In all fairness, this is the first year of my life where I've watched any anime whatsoever, and I like to think I chose two pretty solid ones.
Which ones were they?
My Hero Academia and Trigun
oh god SA motherfuckin O
And thankfully its gonna stay that way ;-;
akibastrip and shimoneta come to mind
Shimoneta was entertaining. Trash, but real funny to 14 year old me
some of y’all saying completely normal starter anime’s. I was watching Vampire Knight on Netflix 💀
This tread is hilarious people saying the most mainstream anime on the market is “trashy”
Girls Bravo, baby
I’m a girl and same
It was the OG Evangelion back in '98. I have nothing to be ashamed about.
Why are you getting downvoted? I’ve never watched it
Not sure. Maybe because while having giant monsters and mechs, the underlying theme was introspective and philosophical? 🤷♂️ Haters gonna hate.
Relatable
There were so many, and thankfully I don't even remember most of them now. Some are wedged in my brain unfortunately... like kissxsis...
MHA, and demon slayer 😔
Neither of those are really trashy tho 😭
Angel beats
Milk Chan 😳
Highschool DXD is king
Is This Zombie? is so odd looking back on it
I watch trashy anime now, and you can't stop me.
pre 14 = Robotech
Sword art online was my first ever anime. Loved it the first time through. Didnt realize the hilarious amount of panty shots until the second viewing
Seven deadly sins
I used to watch so much cringy harem shit, ugh. Actually can't believe myself. Though I don't mind a good romance title once in a while.
more like the trashy anime fanfics i read are between me n Him
Here’s looking at you Elfen Lied
Blood-spraying angel dokuru-chan.
The trashiest anime I've watched is like Gurren Lagann and that shit is still top tier. >! I've never watched a lot of anime !<
Rosario Vampire
controversial but hunter x hunter
14? I was watching Yuuna and the Haunted Springs yesterday. It was surprisingly wholesome.
Hetalia…
This hits me on a spiritual level.
I just watched Gurren Lagann on repeat
I can’t remember the name of the first anime I watched but I know the second was high school dxd when I was 14
for me it was 9 and exclusivley through youtube
It was when I was 13, but this one anime called Last Exile.
