Hm. Bloodborne or DS2/DS3. I think BB has better combat, but no idea how the combat in ER will be.

Honestly dark souls 2 or 3 are the easiest in terms of combat. If you've got patience and the ability to push through the occasional anal pounding you could try bloodborne or sekiro. Kinda depends on what setting you'd prefer to in terms of aesthetic.
There isn't really a contiguous story to dark souls, so if you were to start at ds3, you wouldn't be any more lost than anybody else, except maybe Vati
Edit: as you mentioned "getting into the genre" - id say there no better light introduction to core concepts of soulsborne games than Jedi Fallen Order. Its stellar

True as already mentioned that DS3 have the lowest entry barrier of the trilogy, but I would still recommend to play them in order for the lore and nostalgia.

An anime could be pretty nice, even just like 4-6OVAs that set the world before the game happens and such. Bandai Namco produces a ton of animes including for their video game IPs like God Eater and Tales. Light Novels probably too.
Anyway that trailer looked really nice. Love the references to Berserk and the scale seems much bigger than previous souls-like so very hyped about it, although it's still far away.

He might actually work on those seeing as how they aren’t ASOIAF.

Push what systems. You cannot buy the fucking things. Going to be years before they can reasonably do PS5 only.

Yeah. Even though they’re constricted they’re still breaking console sales records. The ridiculous demand is keeping them from sitting on shelves. The ps4 install base is fucking huge though so it’ll still be a while. Too much money left to be made on it still.

DS3.
Trust me on this. Elden Ring got me hyped for some replay so I loaded up DS2, played for a few minutes, then turned it off because I forgot how bad the combat felt after playing DS3/BB/Sekiro. Starting with DS3 the combat in Soulsborne games feels super tight and incredibly responsive. Going back to the older ones feels laggy.

I prefer the more aggressive style of BB, but DS3 is definitely the best of the actual souls series for combat and QoL stuff. Never really cared for sekiro, almost all aspects of it are solid but for whatever reason once I finished it I was glad it was over and have no intention of ever playing it again.
