Anime is pretty popular among autistic people. However, aside from being obsessed with Voltron as a kid, I never got into it. I’m wondering what I’m missing.

    Thank you very much for suggesting and summarizing those animes. Based on your post, I want to give Rise of the Shield Hero a shot first, but Code Geass and Konosuba look appealing to me too.

    What do you think of Blue-Eyed Samurai? My friend recommended it to me. I saw the first episode, but it seems to be taking a while to get started and already appears a bit formulaic. I was watching it with a friend that feels the same about formulaic plots, and she was predicting the rest of the entire series. Are we wrong about the plot and does it get better?

      Glad I can be of help.

      I haven’t seen Blue-Eyed Samurai yet, sorry.

      The formulaic approach is something we cannot escape completely, I fear. It’s why I am trying different media from different countries.

      The formula is a bit less obvious with an older target audience. Here I can also recommend older stuff like Trigun, Cowboy Bebop or Black Lagoon. It’s been a bit since I saw those, so I won’t summarize them in fear of spoiling or misremembering something.

      With anime I also try to skip the intros and outros, as they often contain spoilers, or rather hints. I usually watch those on YouTube after I’ve finished.
