Adam · Answer

Black clover

Ross · Answer

Delicious in Dungeon is currently airing and it's one of the best new anime in recent memory.

Eck · Answer

Any studio Ghibli film would do.
Another studio's shows we usually enjoy watching is Kyoto animation. They produced shows like lucky star, K-on, the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya, nichijou, free! and much more. We would say they are all recommended classics these days. They tend to be well rounded shows and easy for anyone to take in.
If you want to watch something circling around music, shows like beck, kids on the slope, bocchi the rock are fun to watch.

Two shows we like to recommend to anyone are: Lycoris Recoil, a lovely animated action show and PopTeam Epic, because it is epic.
A third show, we mean why not, is Oshi no Ko. We lists this because a) it is interesting  and b) the OP/theme song turned out to be a worldwide massive hit last year.
We shall shut up now, go away and never comeback

Karl · Answer

Depends what genre u like? And if old anime are an option too?

Michael · Answer

Code Geass. Has good visuals and a good blend of action and psychological aspects. Plus it has big robots and the main character can essentially hypnotizes people.

James · Answer

Personaly its Fairy tail. Good music, shows how Shonen usually go and so on.

Alex · Answer

Yuru Camp

Shahid khan · Answer

Deathnote

Dj · Answer

My personal favorite for starting off is sword art online, its a fantasy anime that has a nice blend of action and romance, it's also a nice intro to the anime world without being traumatized

Andrew · Answer

Probably Death Parade. It's emotional, it's got little sub plots and HUGE character development. Plus it's only 1 season so finishing it will make you proud but immensely sad. 10/10

Jojo · Answer

I started with Angel beats, really good starter. Short 12 episodes to get a taste of what anime can be. Then I'd work my way to up movies like your name. Really solid movie choices in anime!

James · Answer

Hard to answer without knowing your tastes. Choose a reliable website and just browse their selection until you find something with a description that interests you.

James · Answer

Corpse Party: It's horror. It's four episodes. Petty easy to find. First one I watched.

Reece · Answer

Just to name a few
Angel Beats
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood 
Erased
Horimiya 
Spy x Family
Komi can’t Communicate
Konosuba

Andrew · Answer

Frieren: beyond journey's end.
It gives a very good story, brilliant adventure, character development, a question of a love too late, good humor and the art for it all is great, just finishrd that one a bit more recently... it's short and sweet and will get you into wanting to watch others .. 
If you want a bit more long form anything from Studio Ghibli, as it is very detailed in every aspect .. 
If you want more suggestions for anime, just off the top of my head ;
Jujutsu Kaisen (very intense little bit of gore)
Full metal alchemist: brotherhood (not as intense, still a little dark)
Demon Slayer (fantastic art)
Goblin slayer (also good art)
Overlord (trapped in a video game)
That time I got reincarnated as a slime (video games world)
Chainsaw man (also intense and a bit of gore) 
Solo leveling (basically video game level up) 
7 deadly sins 
My hero academia 
Hunter x hunter
Blue exorcist 
Black clover
The misfit of demon King academy
Metallic rouge 
Cyber Six 
Sword art online 
Inuyasha
Rurouni Kenshin
Trigun 
Fooly Cooly (can't remember if that's the spelling) 
Code Geass 
Jojos bizarre adventure 
Soul eater

And probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting that may not even be on crunchyroll .. some of those above might not even be listed on that platform depending on the area 😅

Richard · Answer

Samurai Champloo, super stylized and integrates hip hop culture into the vibes of edo Japan. So cool and has a lot of historic culture spread throughout the series

Ralph · Answer

Look for something shorter to cut your teeth on. 12 to 20ish episodes. 
Cowboy Bebop is a all time classic and considered a goat. But for something more modern. 
Spy x Family  comedy
Jujitsu Kaisen  action
Horimiya  romance 
Frieren Beyond Journeys End  fantasy/adventure

Or if you want something super digestible. Just watch a Miyazaki movie.

Stephen · Answer

Full metal alchemist Brotherhood. Because it has never failed me in converting someone. Not that every anime will be a proper written show quite like that.

Bryant · Answer

Two of my favorites are Death Note and Full Metal Alchemist (especially Brotherhood), but it depends what you like honestly.

Matthew · Answer

Depending on what your interest are i would say start with host club, reincarnated as a slime, and my sister would recommend fruits basket, for a fun short one campfire cooking in another world, one last thing dub or sub if you dont know already is if the show has English voice acting or is just subtitles. Some shows feel different when dubbed vs subbed.

Ricky · Answer

Demon slayer, DragonBall series, Rurouni Kenshin or yu yu Hakusho.

Amber · Answer

I'm going with either Squid girl, Zatch bell, or Psycho pass. Squid girl if you like funny slice of life, Zatch bell if you like battles and additional drama and good plot, and psycho pass if you like murder mystery and a pretty kick butt soundtrack. The third option gets wild..😂 but the first one is more tame for someone breaking into anime. Bungo stray dogs is also a very interesting one. OH, To Your Eternity. Almost forgot that ones really good

Darius · Answer

CODE GEASS and Stein's;Gate(Stein's;Gate 0 as well)
1st one is rather emotional and political but genius and the 2nd is just an emotional roller coster which made me cry 3 times

H A R I · Answer

As a person who has watched over 300 anime ... And has been watching anime since kindergarten..... If you're new to anime there's no better one to start with than Naruto .... One piece aot and all other recommendations are good .... But u haven't watched anime to know what the subtleties in each animation or scene means ... And not other anime portrays it better than Naruto which also has an excellent dub so if you're not used to watching with subtitles is a plus .... My opinion, start with Naruto ... You won't regret it .. or death note ... It's also good

Daniel · Answer

Naruto, Demon slayer, yu yu hukisho, dragon ball series, chainsaw man, fairy tail. If you don’t mind Chinese anime, I’m currently watching swallowed star and soul land series, both are very good and I highly recommend those two.

Nikita · Answer

If we stray away from default Death note and Naruto, then Charlotte, Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater (these two kinda long), Steins;Gate (a masterpiece with an interesting mc)

kapruwanabhinav · Answer

Try a ghibli movie! Spirit Away would best bcoz its all time best... short(1.5hrs) and you'll get to know what an anime can be. Enjoy😁

Sean · Answer

Angel Beatz hands down! The story is so beautiful.

Matt · Answer

OG Berserk. The opening is reminiscent of pavement and the closer is similar to smashing pumpkins. To sum it up, the soundtrack is great.

Joey · Answer

Tokyo ghoul

Rose · Answer

romance: kamisama kiss because it has demon cat man
snow white with the red hair because period romance 
other: attack on titan because the story is really good and engaging 
kotaro lives alone, its so cute but sad 
nana,, its litterally being a young adult but in anime form so gold but a little slow
