gateway drug anime? How about Slayers Revolution? Although it is a sequel to a series from the 90s. Actually I have no idea of which recent anime I could introduce to a friend unless its from the 90s. I'm going to watch some early 00s and 90s anime.

I noted that all the recommendation so far is kid, crazy action, and Speculative fiction type of works. I think almost all are good choices, but not everyone will go for those genres and as Mr. Bertschy point out "after FMA, after Death Note, what next?". See I think are a lot of good anime to get people in or after the intro pick. For example if you want more realize action watch Sword of Stranger, if you want Adult Swim comedy watch Astro Fighter Sunrise, and if you just want a good drama watch Ristorante Paradiso (shout out to AWO). The problems is not the lack good intro anime, but the lack of knowing about it.

i think you hit the nail dead on twice! you know recently i introduced a pretty much first time Anime viewer to The Melancholy of Haruhi suzumiya, i knew i couldn't rely on something like Death Note (his little brother reads the manga, and he hates it) and anytime before this when we would talk anime he would mostly complain about some of the other anime stuff he's seen that he didn't like (mostly things that had been on TV). I also know he's a big Star Trek fan, particularly of more of the comedy sci-fi stuff in the show and i knew the techno babble of Nagato would feel right at home. He is a fan of the show now, the point is that it's far more about finding out what the person you're showing anime to likes and doesn't like, you can't just throw a random show at a person and hope it just sticks. And with regards to TV, no matter how accessible you make it on the internet you will never bring in the fans or revenue like television will |

It seems somebody had the exact same thought on this topic as me. |

Catching up on this 'cast and the most recent one today... just popped in to say something about introducting new people to stuff.
A guy in hits 50s at work last year and I got on the topic of anime at one point and when he mentioned he'd seen a Miyazaki film or two but never really watched any other anime, I offered to let him borrow some DVDs; he took me up on the offer, so I lent him Cowboy Bebob first after telling him about a few options I could present from my small collection. He loved it, so I just brought a couple bags full of box sets and gave him brief rundowns of different stuff. He picked Haibane Renmei and Outlaw Star to borrow next and he really liked those, too. He doesn't work here any more so I haven't lent him anything else, but, yeah, it's interesting to note he didn't go for anything newer (partially the result of my urging, though). But I really think it depends on the person. When I'm recommending shows/movies to someone one-on-one, it varies a lot based on the person, so something that might be seen as "gateway" on a large scale for the States might not be something I'd use to get a friend started. |

lol reborn is popular because of FANGIRLS. its a good anime if you care about the characters and i found that the dialogue is much better written than most shounen shows.
BUT i am a fangirl, and thats why i like this show. =] (you should see the manga and then perhaps you can understand the massive amounts of yaoi doujinishi) |
