| I wasn't an anime fan unless I saw Monogatari. Fullmetal is also nice, but it is not like a regular anime - even if a person likes it it doesn't mean the person will like anime as a media type. |
| It really depends on the person. Not that I have friends who "don't like anime", they're neutral about it. I got a lot of success with FLCL, and NGE works well on SF fans. I usually just suggest good 80's or 90's movies to people who aren't into it too much. Jin Roh, Ghibli stuff, Ninja Scroll, those things. |

| Attack on Titan is certainly a good choice. Other I think are Code Geass. |

Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| I like to pick really famous and mainstream animes, like mirai nikki, re:zero, another, death note, shingeki no kyojin, because there is a reason they are famous/mainstream and that is because they can easily hook up most of the audience, I kinda use their effectiviness on this and honestly I've been pretty sucessfull with my attempts. |
| Black Lagoon came to my mind as soon as I read the title of this thread. |

| The real questions is what is someone, who doesn't like anime doing on website that is dedicated to anime and manga called myanimelist |
| Among recent series, "One Punch Man" is one I can see people who aren't fans of the medium enjoying. Back in the day, things like "Vampire Hunter D", "Akira", "Cowboy Bebop", the Cowboy Bebp movie, Berserk from 1997, "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust", Kaiji, and Samurai Champloo were all fine choices. Speaking of Bloodlust, Kawajiri's other movies like "Ninja Scroll" and "Highlander: Vengeance" would also qualify. In terms of more sleeper picks, Golgo the Professional from 1983 is a damn good crime movie that simply happens to be anime. |
| @YoungVagabond Kawajiri works very well with John Carpenter's fans. I suspect the former is inspired by the later. Especially with the long and slow expositions. |

| I think casual girls can like Sword Art Online? That melodrama might be perfect for them |
 |
| Sailor Moon, it is seen as a cartoon by majority. But I guess they might enjoy Hunter X Hunter, it seems to be entertaining for everyone, not just anime fans, it has that vibe I guess. |

EcchiGodMamsterP said: There's plenty of ppl on here who started anime as an ecchi fan Preach it! Shout the gospel of ecchi from a mountain top, spreading it far & wide. Back on topic: "Series for people who don't like anime".. if you mean they haven't watched any anime yet (that they know of) and so aren't considered as "liking anime", then you're just asking for a gateway anime to get them interested. Search other gateway anime rec threads for ideas. If they actually don't like anime, then it's unlikely you'll change their mind. It won't matter what you show them or finally convince them to try. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| short stuff like snk, mirai nikki, psycho pass and madoka magica. |

That's an interesting comparison. I can definitely see some similarities (and I like John Carpenter a lot, too), although Carpenter's films have more humor, while Kawajiri's work is more streamlined and action-heavy. |
| Berserk 1997 Gungrave Samurai Champloo Rainbow Hellsing Ultimate Parasyte Cowboy Bebop "I don't like anime" usually means "I don't like the typical mainstream Shounen that everybody watches". |
| I'd say stuff that hasn't a super-Japanese/foreign setting. So no High school drama and stuff like that. I find ecchi also not the right place to start, as some people might be weirded out by some common anime tropes used in shows like that. Just like many ppl mentioned. Shows like SnK or FMA are a good place to start. I also like to recommend Cowboy Bebop or Wolf's Rain, especially because they have really great dubs. |
| IMO, Psycho Pass is also a good starter. |
