    I have a couple friends in there twentys who are interesting in watching some anime and reading manga what are some anime you would recommend for people who never watched any before
    (I had some who asked me before and now they don't talk to me might have something to do with recommending them school days and mirai nikki ...)

    ask them about genre first.
    and u can decide what anime you give them

    Still depends on what genres they like, and if theyre planning on watching subs/dubs. If they like the action/guns stuff Black Lagoon probably isn't a bad place to start, and both the subs/dubs are fine (I hate dubs though).

    More recently you could try Attack on Titan if you think that kind of thing would interest them, or like Kill la Kill/TTGL if you think crazy/over the top is what they're going to expect from anime.
    Yeah, I'd say it does. It's probably not a bad place to start just don't hope it kills their interest off :p

    Give them makoto shinkai's stuff for visuals? or K.
    For music, yuki kajiura works in tsubasa reservoir chronicle, or guilty crown works too..
    For story, TTGL, maybe another shounen anime works.

    The great anime that is known as Death Note can be and should be viewed by every living thing.

    One piece was pretty fun when it started. As for the other one, i would recommend vandread. Its pretty upbeat with a lot of actions. How about gundam seed?

    if they are sci - fi fans why not steins gate? (which is masterpiece for me >.<) and for action seekers itll be one punch man , samurai champloo aND cow boy bebop , for something cool FLCL and for girls tonari no kaibutsu kun ( one of my favs >.< ) , kaichou wa maid sama (another fave) , kami sama hajimemashita, special A, tora dora, and of course inari kon kon, for ecchi seekers ( >//<) with good plot no game no life and for something with a lot of budget fates series (escplly. UBW). and my top one monogatari series (because of hanekawa~)

    I would say Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but when you're starting with one of the best, it's hard for other animes to match up.
