| It really depends on what they like. Death Note (crime show thing sort of) Attack on Titan (fast paced action) Fate Zero (slow paced action) |

| Wrong Forum. I would say: Comedy: Nichijou, Konosuba, Barakamon Action/Shounen: Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood (FITE MEH), Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry Fantasy: No Game No Life, Nobuna no Yabou, Outbreak Company Romance: Kimi ni Todoke, Toradora Horror: Another, Higurashi no Naku koro ni, Baccano Action/Shojo: Futari wa Pretty Cure, Madoka Magica etc, etc. |
| Something like Bleach, One Piece or Naruto. |
 |
| Something that doesn't have Ecchi and/or harem. If anything turns my friends away from anime, it's that. |
| Gurren Lagann. That's the one show that got me into the world of anime. |
| I would say One Punch Man would be a good first anime just because it's (in my opinion) such a fun show to watch and the OP is amazing. |
| FMA:Brotherhood. (even though I've never seen it) |
 |
| FMAB Gurren Lagann Boku no Hero Academia |
 Elsa - Queen of Seductive Rape Faces |
| First of all ask yourself what is their personality.. are they lewd, shameless, emotional, nerd, mysterious, psycho (I hope not), serious, funny or has 8th grade syndrome.. then pick below. Drama: Clannad Action: FMA;b Comedy: Gintama Fantasy: NGNL Ecchi: TLR (I don't know basically they are all the same in my eyes) What else... |

| Ghost in the Shell Serial Experimental Lain Tbh i believe u gotta show them the best and most unique anime. A lot of ppl think u should give new comers fluff pieces. I think u should display the best direction and story telling in this visual media. |
| definitely mirai nikki or maybe death note |
 |
ryukan said: recommend them the masterpieces like death note sao mirai nikki code geass full metal alchemist brotherhood  Anyway, I think it really depends on what the person likes, but I wouldn't start with anything too serious, as for most people it would probably take a while to be able to take anime seriously, so something like Monster or Serial Experiments Lain probably wouldn't be very good for a first anime. I think something that's relatively light-hearted without being childish would be a good place to start, but again, it really just depends on what the person likes and how open-minded they are. |

A lot of ppl think u should give new comers fluff pieces. I think u should display the best direction and story telling in this visual media. Gurren Lagann is one of these anime that looks like it would be boring based on the first episode but is actually quite good. I've still yet to complete it, though. |

I mean ye those two are good, but i have to stay serial experiments is far from being a show with the best direction and story telling |

| Well, it entirely depends on your friend's likes, dislikes, preferences, open-mindedness, etc. If you know what sort of stuff they enjoy, you can just go from there. I suppose it would be easier to say which anime they should avoid watching if they're just getting into the medium - things like the Monogatari series, Seitokai no Ichizon or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei because they contain many references to Japanese culture and associated works that someone new simply wouldn't be able to understand. A "good first anime" is simply too vague a term to reliably give a good answer to. |
 It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether! It's an entirely different kind of flying. |
| Tell them to watch the masterpiece that is 'Boku no Pico Just let them watch an anime you yourself really enjoy, that's what I always do |
| My personal opinion would be start with a few anime from the same genre and or production companies. |
 💙 Set by:Gabby_Chan💙 Strawberry |
| do not expose them to anime manga comes first |
| Ehm for all the people saying FMAB go fck yourself. And beside this a good first anime could be Death note, SAO, Code geass, naruto could be good as well |
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. | You know what I hate the most? People who aren't free. They're no more than cattle. |
moodie said: if they are discouraged then they shouldn't be watching anime since they can enjoy bullshit in other forms of media like reality tv. That's not a great choice to give to a first time anime watcher. I think most serial lain fans would agree with me. |

   |
| Definitely Death Note. Either that or Code Geass. |
| Just let them agree on watching two episodes with you, Start of with episode 1 of boku no pico, now you lowered the expectations and you can show them a masterpiece like SAO, DxD, Fate Zero, Plastic Memories, Attack on Titan, Strawberry panic |

Sorry you can't handle the reason why my friends choose not to watch anime. |
| Dont give serious/ecchi anime and something like dbz , naruto, one piece because its too long. For someone who havent watched any anime I'd suggest death note, attack on titan, SAO Someone above recommended serial experiment lain , let him watch it if you dont want him to get into anime. |
_Esper_ said: Blindly recommending something is a waste of time. Gender and personality are important in this matter. ^This. OP didn't even mentioned gender, age(!!), and what could've been a great help: his/her favourite TV shows or movies... To be honest I'd say: let the noobs find things out for themselves. If they want to watch anime, they'll watch anime regardless... -_- |

| Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood Cowboy Bebop Death Note Angel Beats! Toradora! Overlord at Work!/Hataraku Maou-Sama! Psycho-Pass Darker than Black Steins;Gate Samurai Champloo Tengen Toppa Gurenn Lagann Mushishi Attack on Titan/Shingeki No Kyojin Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis tl;dr: basically every anime in the top portion of the flowchart (done by lukeatlook) in my profile. |
| Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood |
| Death Note, Attack on Titan, One Punch Man are easy for anyone to get into. |
| Try something wide-reaching with a material and genres. FMA, Code Geass, Future Diary, Death Note and Cowboy Bebop are both accessible, distinctive and weird enough. At worst, they'll be memorable. |
| WEAPONS - My blog, for reviews of music, anime, books, and other things |
| That depends on my friend's character. If he/she is a deep, smart friend, I'll introduce for them Ghost in the shell, The tatami galaxy, One outs, Kaiji... With lovely, kind people, I'll give them Hanada Shouen-shi,.. There are many choices. |
| Hmmmm... If I were to suggest. I will ask first what their "taste" would be or their genre preferences. If they cannot think of any, then I will suggest them: 1.) Death Note (majority suggestion) 2.) Fullmetal Alchemist 3.) Monster 4.) Kuroko no Basket 5.) Steins; Gate |
| Death Note, FMA and One Punch Man seems good for starters because I know a lot of people who don't really watch anime but have at least seen one of these. I would not show someone involving ecchi or incest-ish relationships. I would also preferably show something that could be considered as objectively pretty. For example, Code Geass is a big no-no. Everytime I try to introduce people to it, they can't stand the art and don't want to go on (also they tend to hate Lelouch haha). |
