Also, I guess I should have clarified that I meant beginners to anime, not beginners to Japanese. Another note is that as I'm a huge fan of video games I'm already familiar with some of these (like Sword Art Online, Steins;Gate, Pokemon and Digimon). I also am a little familiar with Death Note as when I studied in France for a few months the high school library had the first few manga, so I read a bit of that. How much different is the anime from the manga?

I recommend the anime as it is definitely well done. However some things are changed, that may or may not disappoint you.

For a beginner? I dont know what would fit that, but I'll give you some simple good ones.

One Punch Man
ToraDora
Digimon
Steins Gate (but this one has time travel and all sorts of science topics, so you probably wont understand without subs)

I am familiar with the game. I was planning on getting it for the PS3, but the price is still a bit high.

The game is definitely better than the anime, so I would recommend getting the game.
