As well all know Josh hates anime with a passion and if the podcasts are anything to go by this has potentially tainted his relations with the small and secluded weeaboo demographic that hides on this site. In the event that we could possibly force Josh to watch one singular anime, which one do you think would act as the best representative of the genre? I may run a poll if I can get enough nominations in this thread and we will continue to theory craft from there so to speak. We need something that is devoid of typical anime tropes and written with serious artistic intent. However considering that Josh has also watched Serial Experiment Lain it would need to be something that is easy to understand and not too high concept as it would not go over brainlets heads. I'll going to throw out a few potential picks of my own.
1. Cowboy Bebop.
I believe this one has the highest chances of success as it is extremely popular among normalfags due to it's serious writing, great artwork, and lack of general anime autist tropes. It is also very short and contained and easy to jump into from the first episode and has a phenomenal dub meaning Josh won't need to hear gook speak.
2. Kaiji Ultimate Survivor
While this is more explicitly Japanese then Cowboy Bebop, Kaiji is still extremely well crafted and a great representative of the seinen genre. It is handled fairly seriously and is short as well. The focus of the anime is also on gambling and considering Josh's addiction to Bossmanjack streams he may see many traits in Kaiji that he also likes in the bossman
3. Hamtaro
This is much more risky then any of the other options as it is extremely weeb like and unserious as possible. However we do know that Josh loves hamsters and the cuteness of the show may overload his senses and fill the void present within his empty soul. If this option works it will convert him into a full blown weeb autist but as I've mentioned it's more uncertain.
