| Fullmetal Alchemist:B, Death Note, Shingeki No Kyojin. |
| So, What do you think is on the other side? |
| Most people who don't watch Anime are usually appealed to watch Anime they continue to see on social media sites, like facebook etc. My buddy got into Anime because he kept seeing Anime on Tumblr |

AndyRayy said: I don't think anybody is saying that they have to like them. But people do like them quite often(which is what it means to have high appeal). I rarely hear Hayate no Gotoku or K-ON as someone's gateway anime, Dragonball, Naruto, SAO, etc I've heard way more of. Which is partly because of their age. There's a reason why action anime are always at the top of the site's popularity. More people like them and it's easier to get into a show where there isn't much confusing language, it's easier to follow action.The problem with people automatically tossing out the Death Notes, Brotherhoods, and Black Lagoons's it that they're assuming that, because this person is a non-fan, they must like that kind of show, which I can assure you is not always the case. If my first anime was something like, say, Black Lagoon or Death Note, I may not have grown such a liking for the medium because they would've given me the impression that anime was all just more violence and action, which can be found for a dime-a-dozen pretty much anywhere else. And I'd argue that this is exactly why you get such varied reactions when showing them to friends, since it fits some of their tastes and doesn't at all fit others'. |

| Shingeki no Kyojin. I didn't watch it, but heard about alot of guys managing to get friends who don't watch Anime addicted to it. |
 |
| What they're going to like in anime is something close to what they like in other forms of television. Miyazaki stuff usually works too. |

Hkig said: I'm gonna say Cowboy Bebop mainly for the fact that it is the only anime my friends will bother watching and they all love it and re-watch it all the time. I guess it appeals to most sci-fi fans and its main character is absolutely badass. I'm a sci-fi fan and I only found Cowboy Bebop kinda meh. But, it's definitely a very western-influenced show, so it would appeal to a wider western audience overall. |

| im sure it depends on the person, i was reeled in by death note! but i have been trying to get my girlfriend into anime for months, and it was only yesterday i decided to watch kino no tabi, she said she'd try and watch it with me, and she has ended up completing it before me (she was a philosophy student so maybe it just clicked with her) |
| Dragon Ball Z and Miyazaki's stuff are the only things I see people who don't watch anime talk about. |
| "Canaan. You're a victim whose past was taken away by war. And she's a defeated person who lost her past in a power struggle. Soldiers who are born within destruction take hatred as their weapon. Even though you and her became soldiers for the same reason, you both live differently. Listen Canaan, you cannot counter hatred with hatred... ever." -Siam, Canaan |
| Gundam Seed, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, Guilty Crown, maybe Valvrave and Suisei no Gargantia. I'd imagine the Evangelion rebuilds would be somewhat enticing for the inexperienced aswell, not so much the series though. They're the crappiest mecha I could think of and I'd assume they're the easiest for people to get into because they're thousands of rankings higher in popularity than any other show in their class. Keep them away from anything else in of the Gundam franchise, Macross, Patlabor, JoJo, HnK, and LoGH. Deathnote, SnK, and SAO are almost too obvious :o. |

Habagat said: That's funny, I watched it before I got into anime and I thought it was awful.High School of the Dead..... Try to recommend it on Non-anime fans.... they will enjoy it... and will crave for more OT: While I will recommend certain people some of my favourite shows, I don't recommend anime as a whole. Why would I want to subject anyone to sifting through all those terrible shows aimed at dumb teenagers to find the next Haibane Renmei? |

Habagat said: High School of the Dead..... Try to recommend it on Non-anime fans.... they will enjoy it... and will crave for more I don't think so. They'll probably just compare it to The Walking Dead and call it shit. Most people say they enjoy(ed) watching Dragonball Z so it's an obvious choice along with Miyazaki movies, although these days I'm hearing more Bleach, Naruto, even SAO, from people who don't look like they spend their days watching anime - or even know what it is. |
| FMA |
 |
| I'd have to say Attack on Titan. Everyone calling anime "gay" would probably find that really really badass. |
 |
| Higurashi or Elfen Lied ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Death Note Fullmetal Aclehmist (Brotherhood & Original) Cowboy Bebop Fate/Zero Monster Shingeki no Kyojin Wolf's Rain |
| I'd recommend KHR, the anime that got me into... anime, but that title isn't common around here. So, I used FMA for a first timer recommendation. |
| "When someone betrays your trust, it feels like a part of you dies. I guess for me it was the part that cared" ~ Phi |
| Death Note has a strong appeal to non anime fans as it doesn't have too much idiotic things. It totality doesn't feel for children. I watched with my dad Kuroshitsuji book of murder (without the seasons themselves, my father don't have patience for series) and he enjoyed. Or so he said. For younger audience (not 50+) I think Durarara can be nice too. I never reality recommended non anime watchers anime, but I still can have opinions. |
 |
| If someone who has never watched anime approached me right now, I would recommend these series (based on their age/interests if I know): (All Ages) Spirited Away (14+) Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Your Lie in April Princess Mononoke Attack on Titan Trigun Boku dake ga Inai Machi (18+) Death Parade I feel like these series don't require a large knowledge of anime to fully appreciate (as supposed to something like Gintama or Osomatsu-san). With the exception of Brotherhood, these series are fairly compact. |
