| Anime This or That |
|---|
This is a listing to give you an idea of what shows you might enjoy if you've seen a particularly well-known anime. I'm not giving anything a particularly high recommendation on either side of this list, but I'm trying to give a good starting point for new anime fans. I get plenty of questions on this topic, so hopefully this will help. Feel free to write to me and add more ideas!
