No one should watch Grave of the Fireflies.
Personally I think it's Miyazakis most overrated work.

Oh yeah, Mononoke Hime is a good place to start. Also, Ghost in the Shell is a must (the original one from 1995, not that CGI garbled thing named Ghost in the Shell 2.0). I would also suggest Akira and Sword of the Stranger, the latter is more of a pure action anime, but it's the damn best action anime I've seen to date!
I would obviously advise going for the original language and subtitles, because even though good dubs exist, if you really get into anime, you'll find that not all dubs are good and not all interesting shows get dubbed, but you'll fund subs for basically everything, so getting used to it is only convinient.
Bah, screw it, plunge in the Anime and Manga thread here in offtopic and we can provide you with a list that will take years to watch and read. Anime Otaku, ROCK OUT!!!

It was cool until this.
It's pretty damn silly to say anything about anything if you haven't experienced it first hand.
Like those old farts who talk crap about gaming without having ever touched a controller.
If you have bad experiences with anime it's cos you've been watching crappy stuff.
You should watch LOTGH
Jeez

We want OWA to watch anime, not to shun it. Wait with KLK until after she fell for it.
Sim, keep cool man. What would Wenli do?

True that.
Depends what she likes though.
I know a crap ton of people who wouldn't get GITS nor enjoy it despite it being one of the best animes ever produced.
Should go for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Always safe to go for FMAB.

No need to go more than that.
God I'm tired.

Yes. You lure mice with Peanut Butter.
Not Pop rocks.
Can't think of the Anime equivalent of Peanut Butter though.
Haruhi Suzumiya?
Spice and Wolf?
Tiger & Bunny?

Naw.
Spice and Wolf is great gate-way stuff.
Hell, even Death Note is great cos when most people think of anime they think of KLK.
I know you don't like it, and for good reasons...
But it trumps all expectations of the stuff.

Nnngh ... don't start the dubs vs subs Fidite, be a good guy, don't start the war ...
Right-o ... anyway, when we're talking Valentine anime, I'll go ahead and propose Hataraku Maou-sama. Not too long, hilarious, bit of a romance, but mostly just hilarious. Don't know if there's a good English dub for it, only ever watched the subs.

Ghost in the Shell
No tacky love story, good action, very good story. Also has a series called Stand-Alone Complex, so if you liked the movie, that's something to look at.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Want complicated stuff? Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (plus 2nd GIG and Solid State Society.)
Want the best damn romance to every come out of Japan?
Spice and Wolf. And it ain't tacky at all. You'll be hard pressed to find a duo that work as well together as Holo and Lawrence.
It's also about economics.
Want Politics and War?
Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
All of them apart from LOTGH have great English dubs.
Go for FMAB and watch 4 episodes before you make your judgement call.

Tiger & Bunny is about Superheroes.
Has some great action, an interesting plotline, and is funny as hell.
It also has Lunatic. Who is awesome.

Alright, I might start with this since I like to laugh and since I like the combination of the genres.

And this is a very good and long list, awesome!
Thanks to all, I've got lots to try out now.

I still think FMAB is your best bet.
Mostly because it has great female characters
And lots of anime don't.

I'd say stick with movies or short series for starters. It can be imposing if we start recommending 60+ episode strong series right at the start.
And thus we invaded another thread.
Allright fellow anime-generals, thunder-run completed. Time for a strategical retreat back to our stronghold, lest we trigger the wrath of heavens against ourselves!

Guys it's her first anime.
Dub is the safest bet for new comers.
Japanese subs can be off putting for somebody who's gonna watch their first.
So Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is cool cos it has an amazing dub.
Which is rare.
Very rare.

True.
But FMAB is really "one of those" that you'll get hooked really early on.
It's not LOTGH which is 110 episodes and pretty damn slow.
But going by that I'd say Spice and Wolf.
Or Code Geass.
Code Geass is pretty based.

I agree, I think I need to start with something less for starters cause I've never watched anime before, so I need to get into it slowly so I can like it hopefully.
