The problem I have with alot of animes is that they are cheesy as hell. Even if they have gore, or adult themes. The characters just dont behave like people in the real world or in proper movies, everything is exeggerated.
Castlevania on Netflix is pretty good because the chars actually seem like real people, but it also in general has a western vibe to it.

If you're looking for something more serious and engaging, i HIGHLY recommend Death Note. It's not only one of the greatest mystery thrillers in anime/manga, it's probably the best one to introduce someone into anime.

Seriously, watch Death Note. If you're into Sci fi, mostly episodic space western with a great jazz soundtrack, I think you'll also enjoy Cowboy Bebop. From there, you'll probably branch out. Who knows, maybe you'll also like the embarrassing weeb chit as well. We won't tell anyone.
Im in the minority but i couldnt get into Death Note. The first episode gripped me but lost interst after that. LOL did you see the abomination Live action movie with Willem Dafoe as Ryuk? Gotta hand it to him. Dafoe was the only good thing about that POS garbage

I had to look at it a bit for curiosity's sake. It was absolute dogschit, as you'd expect from a netflix movie.

If you explore the world of anime you'll run into any of the following pros and cons:

Pros:
- Great stories that you wish there were live action movies/series for (then they turn out cringe though when Netflix or whomever attempts it lol)
- Strong emotional response in the more serious stories: empathy, sadness, gratitude, comedy, inspiration
- Brilliant artwork and animations, very creative stuff sometimes

Cons:
- Weebu awkward chit - like cringe material, sometimes even in the more serious anime as well in an attempt at comedic relief but its just cringe and annoying
- Filler episodes - Fun fact, 41% of the original Naruto series is just filler... and over 50% of Bleach is filler too
- Transitions of studios / artists / writers is very obvious when it happens on a series with multiple seasons, usually for the worse.
- Multi-year wait periods for some series' next seasons, even though the manga has gone way further ahead

To be fair the Full Metal Alchemist live action movie wasnt THAT bad.It was enough to get me to want to watch the anime which i still havent done because i dont know where to begin in the series

OH! i almost forgot cause i didnt see anyone mention One Punch Man. Its so freaking awesome between the epic fights and hilarious dialogue and goofy situations. Its probably my favorite newer anime.

I could list tons of obscure anime most people havent seen. maybe ill do that later

The 12 episodes are necessary and without them it wouldn’t be the GOAT anime and besides Tu turu is great

I think i liked the Golden Arc movies the best. Freaking great. I really wish they didnt fuk up the reboot but i would of still watched it. Think i saw the first season and missed the second. Now that the creator is dead are they gonna finish it? Damn story has been going for what 30 years now?

Anime is just another medium of storytelling, theres tons of genres in anime that can cater to everyone. Its like asking someone if they like to watch TV and they recommend Friends to you

Some of my favorite recent anime that are good for to get into anime, esp if you like shows like The Shield
Hells Paradise (1 season so far )
Chainsaw Man (1 season so far)
Pluto on netflix
Solo levelling (currently airing 9 episodes in, just generally fun show)
attack on titan (all done, epic story, dont start with this)
Vinland Saga (epic story, on netflix)
Ninja Kamui (all violence)

Then you have some typical shonen more mainstream
black clover
demon slayer
jjk
my hero academia
one punch man

Another I forgot to add: monster! no supernatural superhero stuff, just solid story

Code Geass was a trip, and probably had one of the craziest cliffhanger endings to season 1 i've ever seen in an anime. It kinda reminded me of Death Note, but with mechs with all the "cat and mouse" mind games and his slow rise to power.

Paranoia Agent is a fun one. Baki the Grappler has its moments.Peace Maker.Samurai Deeper Kyo,Now and Then,Here and There is some wierd Nazi like chit with a dictator kinda like Hitler if i remember right. Deadman Wonderland had huge potential. Galaxy Express 999 is an oldie but a goodie. Captain Harlock the OG and the newer CGI movie is good as hell. Fooly Cooly is pretty awesome. Not really anime but SuperJail deserves an honorable mention. Funny and trippy as hell to get high and drink to.

guess that will do for now. tons more

I could never get into it, I've tried because I have some friends that are REALLY into it, but every anime I've see just feels weird to me. I think it's a disconnect between Japanese culture and humor vs ours.

I can watch Futurama all day.

Attack on Titan is overrated AF. If "find out next time on DragonBall Z" was an anime, that's AoT.
