| So basiclly the question is "What's the first anime you would recommend for a non-anime fan?" Which could either go for someone who wants to get into anime or wants to understand it more. Mine would be Your Name because the visuals draw people in and get them invested into the story. Also the story line was interesting which kept me at the edge of my seat. I've recommended this to multiple people and every time someone does watch it they keep coming back asking for more recommendations. |
 |
| TTGL, because that is the definition of anime as a medium. |
 |
| That's a pretty complex question, a lot of factors play into what i would recommend to someone. I don't think there is a universal anime to pick. Most simply i need to know what genre they're into, what they have already seen that they might not be aware of, if they're not used to animations what they would value like art quality or story telling etc. I would probably go through the top scored and popular anime synopsis by genre with them and see what interests them along with suggestions for what i've already seen. |

| i would recommend them eromanga-sensei. after that there's 2 paths: -they either drop anime forever -or they continue and every next anime after eromanga would seem good |
 |
| i'd recommend any good plot twist, cauz everybody like plot twists... which one? hm... maybe i'd recommend steins gate, just the first season. |
| Little Witch Academia (2012) or maybe Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2199 |
| One Punch Man is an anime I’d recommend to a non anime fan because the plot is pretty straightforward and simple |
 |
| Miyazaki films are a pretty good first step into anime. How many more people are anime fans today because Disney made a deal with Studio Ghibli to distribute their films? |
A møøse once bit my sister... |
| As long as someone has watched movies or read books before then they already know what they like. I'd ask them what kinds of things they tend to enjoy and I'd try to find an anime that can provide that. |
  |
| Depends on the tastes of the person I'm recommending to. Mainstream stuff is probably the best to draw most people in, especially if they want to discuss what they watch with others. Death Note, AoT, FMA (Brotherhood or original) and HeroAca are all nice options. A movie like Spirited Away or Your Name would also be good, there's not really a wrong answer though. |
| i always have my victims choose between FMAB or death note and all cases were successful, so i'm not changing my recommendations anytime soon |
| Death note easily the best anime to recommend. |
| death note is the best pick by far.... |
| +1 to death note. It's a very good choice. Also one punch man if they're a fan of superheroes. |
| My sister isn’t an anime fan but she really liked Little Witch Academia, Hunter X Hunter, Fairy Tail and Konosuba. Death Note almost always works as a gateway anime |
| I have a friend who is 32 years old, very open minded person and i told him once to watch Steins;Gate. He totally enjoyed the show and the anime in general. Now he is an anime watcher :) |

| It rather depends upon the person, and what kind of things he likes, etc. I usually recommend watching Death Note, and BnHA, which has worked every time for me. |
 |
| It really depends on the person but usually Death Note cuz it's the show that got me into anime. |
| death note in most cases. it's exciting right from the get go nd it's just really accessible. also lacks all the usual anime trappings that might put off someone new |
| - Boku no Hero Academia (This was my 1st anime) - Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood If the person likes dark stuff: - Shingeki no Kyojin |
 |
| Death parade of course ................. I don't get people that will recomment stuffs like bnha which can be watched by any 10 years old kid Not the best imression will be given about anime |
| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
| hard to make blanket statements, but cowboy bebop would be the obvious choice in most cases |
  |
| Most people I have seen who aren't really into anime have at least watched and enjoyed stuff like OPM, Death Note and Attack on Titan. FMAB would be another great choice in my book. |
 |
| I will suggest Death Note or FMA.B for a new viewer. |

I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Depends on the person and his/her age. |
| Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne, so I can show them that anime isn't just for kiddos. |
