'Sailor Moon' is also a wonderful option. It has a classic story of a group of girls who transform into magical warriors to fight evil. The story is not only about fighting but also about friendship, love, and growing up. The characters are very relatable, especially for younger viewers or those new to anime.
For beginners, 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya' is a great start. It has a fun and unique story that revolves around a high - school girl, Haruhi, who unknowingly has the power to change the world. The anime has a mix of slice - of - life, comedy, and a bit of science - fiction elements. It's easy to follow and the characters are very relatable.
One great anime visual novel for beginners is 'Danganronpa'. It has a unique mystery - solving aspect combined with anime - style art. As for Disney, while not strictly a visual novel, 'Kingdom Hearts' has some elements that are similar in its story - rich world and character interactions. It combines Disney and Square Enix's Final Fantasy elements in an engaging way.
For beginners, 'Your Lie in April' is a great choice. The art is soft and beautiful, which helps to bring out the emotional story of a young pianist. Another good one is 'Tokyo Ghoul'. The art is dark and edgy, fitting well with the story of a world where ghouls exist among humans. And 'Fruits Basket' has a very cute art style and a heartwarming story about a girl living with a family of people who turn into animals.
Dragon Ball Z. It's a classic. The story is simple yet engaging, about Saiyans protecting the Earth. The fight scenes are legendary. The power - ups and the epic battles between Goku and his enemies are super exciting.
'My Hero Academia' is another good option. It's set in a world where most people have superpowers. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy without powers who still dreams of becoming a hero. The graphic novels are full of colorful characters and exciting battles, and the positive message about heroism makes it appealing to new anime graphic novel readers.
I'd recommend 'A Certain Magical Index'. It has a well - developed world with different powers like magic and esper abilities. The main character, Touma, has a unique ability that makes him interesting. And the story is full of action and mystery. 'No Game No Life' is also suitable for beginners. The idea of a world ruled by games is really cool and the two main characters' strategies in different games are fun to watch.
