    You asked me for ONE anime to start with. So I'll give you just this one anime that almost everyone who watched it enjoyed

    I can even prove it to you how enjoyable this series is ;)

    Deathnote

    (skip this part to the last paragraph if you are not into the summary)

    A notebook falls from the sky, and the human who writes a name in it is capable of killing the individual pictured in his mind (I left out the details that you don't care about). This presents the viewers with a highly debatable theme based on morals and justice. Yagami Light, who obtains this power to kill, utilizes it in hopes of creating a utopia in which he is god. Criminals, and only criminals, are to be punished in hopes of a perfect society. Is this however, right? Is it right to kill individuals who have done wrong, and will do wrong again? Can they be reformed? Death Note presents the viewers with questions such as these, questions which cannot be easily answers. This series challenges the viewers morals and for that, it deserves highly.

    But this debatable topic isn't the series strong point. Death Note gets a 10 in the story department, because of the way the plot unravels. With great and power and ambition, Yagami Light is forced to play a chair gripping game of cat and mouse with those who seek to detain him. The way L attempts to persecute Light is something I have never witnessed in an anime. The first 15 episodes will magically draw you closer and closer to the scene as suspense hangs over their individual methods for identifying the other. You will not be disappointed.

    I was watching the series just a week before my exam, and trust me that's the worst idea. That was how good this anime was. The suspense was amazing, and it had so many plot twists. Anyone who finishes this anime will be forced to wonder about what they would have done with a Death Note. Many of them will question and argue about the actions of Light. It is this talkable and complexity that makes the anime shine, in addition to its ability to carve suspense and anticipation into its viewers. I have never seen an anime as good as Death Note, and I highly recommend this anime to be watched. It is definitely an anime you must TRY. 10/10

    I would recommend Dragon Ball Z. It has anything that a good anime should have. ( Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Super Power ) It also has 291 episodes, so it will probably take a while. That itself makes your experience so much better. Welcome to the anime community my dear friend. :D

    Try a short anime first, preferably 12 episodes long.
