Inuyasha was a great anime starter for me.




Around the Network

My vote would go to the film Millennium Actress. It's epic, it's romantic and it doesn't have any of the annoying whiny or geeky anime type crap that turns most people off.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Full Metal if she wants action and i'm not saying this from it being my top anime of all time...

Full Metal Alchemist or Full Metal Panic?

Full Metal Panic (FMP), the original anime, sucks. FMP: The Second Raid and FMP: Fumoffu are both completely awesome. They're... kinda meccha though, and not something I would show to an anime beginner.

Full Metal Panic was easily better than The Second Raid.  The desert plot arc alone was better than that entire second series though seeing Kaname take charge in that one episode was excellent.

Fumoffu is epic for comedy though I wouldn't recommend it without watching the original first.

Props for recommending one of my favorite anime movies. But considering that the person in question is a "she" and new to the medium, Millennium Actress might not be the best choice. Tokyo Godfathers might be a better choice.

OT: why not try Honey and Clover? Girls mostly love the "slice of life" genre, and since Maison Ikkoku(anime) hasnt really stood the test of time, thats the best show to go with. My second recommendation would be Ah!My Goddess. FMA is a brilliant show, but later on, it becomes quite intense, so id advise against going with it

I would push her onto Haruhi. If she likes Haruhi I would say get her to either Toradora and/or Special A easily my 2nd and 3rd favorite animes...Also there are going to be new FMA ep's that will be airing in early April...



Former something....

Wolf's Rain, Air gear, Diamond Dust Drops, Noir,

Chrono Crusade - It has a female for a main character who is bad ass
Karas - Its way to epic to be ignored
Trigun - Vash is awesome
FMA - Very interesting story
.hack//sign - I like it so far. Watching it with my room mates



I'm sort of a Anime begginer myself. Never watched a lot of it, but what I did watch I enjoyed very much.
Yu Yu Hakusho's ending still makes me cry.
