The Best Anime for a Beginner!

Naruto is the cliché option, and was indeed my first anime. Bleach would be a reasonable option, as would FMA: Brotherhood (probably my favourite) or even Attack on Titan. Death Note is something a lot of people enjoy so if you like the sound of the concept you can start with that.

I rarely ever watch anime so that's the best I can offer

I wouldn't say bleach was a good start in my opinion - it takes a very long time to truly begin which will put quite a few people off...and FMA is okay with it pacing but I wouldn't say it was beginner-material. sadly, naruto actually is quite good for beginners in that the pacing isn't too dragged out or too fast-moving. death note is quite good too as a potential beginning series, but with DN, it doesn't really give you a good impression of anime in general (in my opinion).

It was only a matter of time before I jumped on the bandwagon of Anime, and what better place to start than here

So, I haven't seen an anime show before in my life, not even Pokeman or the really hyped mainstream ones...anyway...

I want to see what the fuss is about, seeing as everyone (or the majority of my friends at school) is always talking about it. What anime would you suggest I watch as a beginner. I am completely new to this world so I would appreciate some help

I'm looking for something scare, or funny. I am NOT interested in anything involving magic or weird pokeman related animal things... Someone suggested Tokyo Ghoul, but one of my friends said that I shouldn't start with that.

Death note seems popular, I think I saw a few scenes on 9gag...

@k.m.b What's Exorcist Blue like, that sounds right up my alley

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. Translates to daily lives of highschool boys. Each episode has several short story skits and its hilarious. I wouldn't start with Tokyo Ghoul. Main character can be a bit annoying to listen to and it pretty much replaces magic with demonic protusions coming out of a ghouls back.

There isn't really any scary anime out their. "Horror" anime tend to be just violent. Closest to horror I've seen is Another but its horrendously violent due to some o the ways people die in it.

Do not start with any anime that have the annoying af cliche of incredibly long fights. One of these is DBZ, me summing up fights in it: muscled up topless guys for several hours (not even kidding) mostly shouting grunting noises, punching at each other for a few minutes, lose, punch again, lose, few more times, then win.

Also don't watch SAO (AT ALL) or No Game No Life as a starter. No Game was weird af and 3 minutes in there is a cameltoe of a *cough* minor *cough*, somehow people thought this was a good anime. SAO is pure **** and really I'm not going into detail at about it because I hate loads about it.

No, I'm not interested in fights anyway, thanks for the heads up...

Also SAO stands for?
