[Discussion] What anime would you NOT recommend to a newbie? (reddthat.com)

Aside from age-inappropriate or socially-controversial tags, I wouldn't recommend otaku culture and others that require prior knowledge to get the jokes or the story.

Komi-san. The characters are all exaggerated parodies that will go over their head if they don't know the tropes being lampooned. And also the fact that the show is only good when one particular character is not onscreen, and you have to build up a heavy tolerance to Anime Bullshit to be willing to put up with this stain on an otherwise great show.
