@Cynder This is fine, one of my meatspace side friends is super not into anime as well. They've got a few older ones they like (bubblegum crisis being one of them) but they're SUPER picky about them because a lot of them get kinda fanservicey and tropey.
To be fair I've watched a fair few anime but even then there's only a few I'd genuinely recommend ^^; (most of which come with some caveats too c_c; )
