For me, it was Chainsaw Man. I'd read a few manga years ago, most of Berserk, some Junji Ito, and Naruto way back as a kid, but none of it really stuck for me. And then I stumbled unto the Chainsaw Man anime, loved it and checked the subreddit, saw a ton of manga spoiler memes that made me feel like i was missing out, so I read the entirety of what was out, figured out manga is pretty dope, and now I'm working on reading Monster and One Piece
That's awesome! CSM is one hell of an adaptation, I personally prefer it to the manga.
I've never read Monster, but it's definitely on the list. I fell our of love with One Piece, but the pre timeskip is full of amazing stuff. I hope you get more out of the later bits than I did.
If I were to recommend something else, it'd be FMA. The anime has a legendary OST, amazing dub + sub casting, and stellar good direction overall. The manga is also great and has its own advantages, such as the later art being amazing and a bit more detail in a few scenes and arcs. Both are equal imo, pick whichever suits your fancy!
Oh I love FMA, I've watched it twice I think. I've got the first volume somewhere but haven't gotten around to it. It's always my first reccomendation for people new to anime
Based, same here.
The manga has some interesting additional stuff, I recommend picking up the Fullmetal version if you can. Much nicer pages and a full retranslation iirc.
