Let's Help a Gamer Get Into AnimeS  Commenter SecretMoblin has
yet to experience the joy of sitting in a darkened room at 3AM
sobbing hysterically over a Japanese cartoon. He needs anime
suggestions, so its time to Speak Up on Kotaku.  I've never
seriously watched any anime, and I'm looking to start. I've seen
a couple episodes of Ranma and a couple episodes of Cowboy Bebop
(though I don't remember a thing about either one), but other
than that my only experience is watching Dragonball Z over my
brothers' shoulders or the occasional Pokémon episode. So I'm
going to list some preferences, and any and all help you can
give would be very much appreciated.  Stuff I like: +a lonely
atmosphere, alienation, etc.; either a single character or a
small group by themselves +it must have subtitles as an option.
Years of foreign films have spoiled me, and I don't know if I
can handle a dubbed program even if it's done competently. +I
would prefer a show aimed at adults +a setting that isn't
contemporary; I enjoy sci-fi, h
