im considering giving anime a shot, what should be my first one?
Just watch The Sopranos
don't waste your time watching tranime
Death note made me get back into anime, before I watched anime as a kid and then didn't touch it and revisited it at 18, in-between then I watched mob movies and I was and still am a big fan of mob media.

Ignore every other reply, death note or attack on titan are the only 2 objectively correct answers to this question.
Naruto but nothing will ever top it if it's your first

I'd agree if you added Monster
Just dont
Steins;Gate is my favourite, it's about time travel. Another one is Hunter x Hunter, it's great for multiple rewatch, I watched it 4 times I think. If you like cars Initial D is a great one. If you start watching anime I recommend myanimelist, you can track what you watched already.
Unban this man
appreciate the suggestions, i rarely replay or rewatch media unless it’s preposterously top-notch
the longevity is insane, if i became a fond of anime i’ll consider it

I'm not a regular partaker of the modern stuff. I only go back to the classics when I'm in the mood to relive them.
I also try not to watch in Japanese with subtitles if there is a dub option. I'll only watch sub if it is a must-watch and there is no dub.
One of the best harem comedies is the first Tenchi Muyo! TV series (aka Tenchi Universe in the English-speaking world), 26 half-hour episodes. Tenchi Masaki is a young man who lives with his dad and granddad. Starting in episode one, women from outer space begin dropping in (and moving in), turning Tenchi's life topsy-turvy. (The title is derived from the rubber stamp on packing crates, which translates to "This End UP!"). The series has a definite conclusion, but it still leads directly into the first feature film, "Tenchi Muyo! In Love," aka "Tenchi the Movie," which then leads into the third movie, "Tenchi Muyo! IN Love 2," aka "Tenchi Forever." (The second feature film: "Tenchi Muyo!: Daughter of Darkness" doesn't fit into any continuity. It was made by different people, but it is still a fun watch.
There is an OVA series that is set in a separate timeline. Same faces, but different relationships. There are some good episodes in the first batch of 13, but it nosedives into worse-than-mediocrity after that. As for all of the spin-offs that span the franchise -- I can't recommend any of them.
I do recommend the original Ranma 1/2 (not the Netflix remake). It is a sitcom about a boy martial artist who is cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water. (Hot water turns him back.) He and his dad are houseguests of the dad's buddy, a guy who owns a dojo and is a widower raising three daughters. The two dads decide to make the boy and the youngest daughter fiancés, even tho the kids are a little too young for that. Besides, they don't even like each other. This series keeps getting wackier with each season. Yes, it's a comedy, but written so well that you can't keep yourself from getting invested in it. Seven seasons, three films, and 13 OVA episodes. ALL of it is a laugh riot.
If you like sci-fi drama, Star Blazers is the way to go. The original was great, but the remake is even better. The Earth has become a radioactive desert, and it is up to a crew of brave souls to undertake a journey of 148,000 light-years and back to pick up a device that can restore the planet -- but they must do it in one year because humanity is dying off underground. It's an uphill battle. Both ways. Three seasons, although the third is considered unwatchable by a lot of fans (me, included). Fortunately, you can pretend it never happened. There have been numerous cinematic films in this franchise -- including one live-action one that was surprisingly good.

Death Note
thanks for the tips uncle but god, dub
There are bad dubs, yes.thanks for the tips uncle but god, dub
I don't recommend those.
But I sure as hell don't need a language I don't speak playing in the background like some inane muzak.
im not fond of manga at all
I second Monster. Top 3 anime OAT in my book.
I agree but I feel like monster would be harder to get a normie into
its worth it tbh
depends on what you are looking for
nothing specific really, any genre would suffice, you might need to dig slightly deeper since i almost got every suggestion in the book
A lot of good recommendations here especially
my only advice is to avoid magical girl shit. it will troon out your brain my personal contribution are Grand blue, hunter x hunter and yu yu hakasho
demon slayer
Try tokyo ghoul or evangelion
Yes this is a good intro
