| At least Angel Beats and Code Geass are FUN bad shows, as opposed to bad shows that just make you ask yourself why you're still watching them in the first place. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |

Lol, Code Geass being a bad show... of course you're entitled to your own opinion, but I'm sure you realize you are in the minority. OT - Death Note, Shingeki no Kyojin, Samurai Champloo, SAO, and I think Psycho-Pass could fit. |

I just recognize that it's full of random contrived stupidity in many parts, just cuz. |

I would still recommend them all, because they were all very enjoyable. |

| I think your Top 5 is awesome so now I'm madly offended by you. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |

| Black Lagoon Mirai Nikki Death Note Claymore |

Satan-sama said: Black Lagoon Mirai Nikki Death Note Claymore I would disagree with Mirai Nikki. It's not really for everyone. |
|
| I'd say something with a decent pace, and isn't the best anime, otherwise their exceptions of anime will be really high, of course everyone's opinions on what's the best is different. Mine are: Death Note Fullmetal Alchemist (Original) Full Metal Panic High School of the Dead (Since most males like tits, ass and zombies) Samurai Champloo |
| Anegl Beats, no awkward fanservice to sit through together. |
  |
| Redline or Satoshi Kon films I've found are the most effective. |

| Welcome to the NHK, if they are skeptical from that big three image, it shows that not everything is about action, screaming, or whatever and what not Monster - Great dub, not too Japanese so it can ease in a western watcher Death Note - Similar reasons to Monster, may work better for someone 13-15 Berserk (Film or series, either will work) - Can get em used to old art styles/color palletes, not too Japanese as well, and the dub isn't too bad |
| cowboy bebop angel beats casshern sins (this would be a shot in the dark at their anime preferences) |
| my avatar is the bus driver from Rosario + Vampire |
| Shingeki no Kyojin. Look at what it did to anti-anime Korea. It's all over the news there now. |

| Sakamichi no Apollon. |
| I would say Psycho-pass, at least in my case since i'm trying to make a friend watch Anime and make him enjoy it and in this case (given is dis/likes and Anime experience)i believe that Psycho-pass would be the best option for him. |
 |
| Fairy Tail |
| It just depends on their personality. I got my friend to love Haruhi and another with Evangelion. |
| I used Highschool of the dead to get my friend into it haha, zombies and tits. Can't go wrong with those two things |
 |
| You've never gotten into anime before? I KNOW. Here's some zombie poon. |
| Ooo, what a lovely tea party. |
| Any ecchi that isn't a harem. |
 |
| I showed my friends Bible Black a couple of weeks ago. Now, they refuse to come off their computers and now their parents blame me for that. |
| Easily FMA:B never has it failed for me to convert a non-anime believer with this. Easiest anime by leaps and bounds to recommend to the general public. |
 |
| It'd all depend on the person, wouldn't it? Not everyone likes action in the same way not everyone likes romantic dramas. Still, for a general audience, I might get them to see Full Metal Panic! Even though I read the manga instead of the anime, I've seen scenes and the animation is great. Plus, it covers enough ground to show what anime is like. It has action, mechas, comedy, and even a romantic subplot (though that never really got anywhere, unlike the manga and the light novels). Either that or Cowboy Bebop. But then again, you might want to save the best for later, eh? |

| Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Death Note The majority of my friends that watch anime have said those were the two shows that got them into anime |
 |
| Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, just for the sheer epicness (and it's not too long actually). |

| depends how old they are if your 18+ probably best not to show them naruto/fairy tail esc... Id go with death note, Afro Samurai [ only 5 episodes] or just tell them most anime is like avatar and they will watch anything |
 |
| Death Note SAO Btooom! All excellent anime. |

| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou YandereTheEmo said: The only thing more pathetic than quoting someone you know nothing about, is quoting yourself. |

I understand Fate/Zero has a somewhat-slow pilot, but it does build some suspense with it. In the case of people I know, they wouldn't drop a show after one episode in any case. |

| Code Geass is what got me into anime, I saw a few before Code Geass but it was only something I did out of boredom. Now I watch anime as a hobby. |
