The 1st Anime You Show Them

Lets say you're getting to know someone or even started dating and yet they know next to nothing about anime. What's the first show you introduce them to? Or do you show them anything at all and keep it to yourself?

I will show what i think is my favorite anime if they dont like then ok i will just find something to their interest and let that be the one we watch together

Oh Depends on it it is a girl or a guy.. First anime I show guys tends to be Cowboy Bebop or Trigun.. for girls usually Fruits Basket or Chobits... and most tend to enjoy them so I am guessing they are fairly safe good picks.. I kinda try to avoid over the top complex diluted stories that might scare new Anime viewers off like Neon Genesis or say like Kiddy Grade and excel Saga.. those might scare off new fans... they just a little harder to grasp. But I have been lucky when comes to dating most of them enjoy anime. but as for introducing just people in general to anime my above formula is what I go with.

It depends on what genre they like ^^ Action: Probably Aoi no Exorcist or Fullmetal Alchemist Romance: Ouran Highschool Host club or Fruits Basket Comedy: Soul Eater ^^ Those were wat I could think of on the spot

Now that i think about it though i would probably do something like blue exorcist or sword art online possibly go for full metal alchemist

Like they've said, it really depends on the person. I'm good at reading people, and their moods, so I try to pick something that will fit. However, the most common one I've shown to newbs to anime is Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. It's a fairly reliable way to get them out of the "anime are cartoons for small children" mentality.

Hmm for girls I would probably pick inuyasha, chobits, peach girl, fruits basket or case closed. For guys probably sword art online, Soul eater, dragon ball or ummm samurai champloo.

Depends of their type of genres they like to watch. <P> Fantasy: El-Hazard The Magnificent World<BR> Action: Cowboy Bebop<br> Sci-fi: Neon Genesis Evangelion<br> Drama: Code Geass<br> Magic: Slayers<br> Comedy: Jubei-chan<BR> Romance: Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou/Maison Ikkoku<BR> If they are a straight up perv then Golden Boy

depends on the person comedy =history's strongest deciple kenichi or one piece romcom haruka no himitsu psycolgy =either code geass or deathnote action =dragonball or i just show the the fight of gaara vs rock lee that one gat a lot of my friends addicted:P tragedy= elfenleid mecha = ofcourse gundam
