    I haven't seen much anime at all, but my partner enjoys it @GreenLizard :) She recommended Full Metal Alchemist, and My Hero Academia to me- have you seen either of those? 

    I'm sure I've heard of Demon Slayer, but I don't know what it's about. What's the basis of the plot?

    Full metal alchemist is a classic! Probably one of the best anime's! 👍

    Demon Slayer chronicles the journey of Tanjiro, a burgeoning Demon Slayer who sets out to bring down the powerful and deadly demon who is responsible for the death of his family and transforming his sister into a rabid creature.

    I highly recommend it!

    Yeah, I've heard it's good @GreenLizard :) I've remembered another too- Attack on Titan. My housemate told me about it. The plot sounded interesting.

    Ahh, that sounds action-packed!

    I keep meaning to give anime a go. When did you first get into it?

    @Tori_Scope I got into it when I was younger. I was around 12 or 13, the first anime I ever watched was Dragon Ball! I'm 27 and I'm still heavily into anime haha. I love the art styles and the relationships between different characters! ☺️

    That's an impressive amount of time @GreenLizard :) I can definitely appreciate the art style- some of the screenshots I've seen are really cool!

    What would you say is a good starter anime? 

    Do you read manga? My partner also enjoys manga and manhwa.

    I would recommend Full metal alchemist or Death note, they are great starter anime's.

    Sadly I don't read any manga I prefer audiobooks! 

    That's also another one of my hobbies, listening to fantasy audiobooks 👍

    I would echo Death Note as a starter @GreenLizard, my partner is a big fan of anime and she showed me that as an introduction and I absolutely loved it. 

    I've also watched Death Parade with her and Attack on Titan, both of which are very enjoyable.

    my favurites are fist of the north star (as my mum let me watch this when it was shown on channel 4 back in late eighties was it? she thought anime=kids tv, lol), deadman wonderland (so sad they never managed to make a second series), the cat returns, and although its themed for children it reminds me of better parts of my childhood-i dont know if anyone else remembers it? samurai pizza cats.

    Hello @Fabs

    Welcome to the community! :) A lot of our members like the privacy side of a forum, so unsure how many would want to watch. Have you tried websites like MeetUp? They host virtual events but you could also host and advertise your own :)

    I'm not one to watch it virtually with others, though I do miss my old anime society meetups when I was at Uni. We'd all sit together in a lecture hall and watch an episode a week of 3-4 shows we voted for.
