Anime For Beginners
Obviously, yes, I don't like Anime very much. But often in book stores I strike up conversations with people that don't even know what Anime/Manga is and I feel obligated to try to recommend some stuff because I don't hate Anime, I just don't like it.
I think Cowboy Bebop is the most universally accepted example. Are there any others considered to be above and beyond the call of popularity?

I think my siggy is haunted.

Honestly, if somebody told me to watch Trigun and I had to base my future enjoyment of anime on the series, I would never watch anime again. While the action is top notch, the characters and "humor" are some of the most annoying things I've ever had to put up with, and if you recall, one of my suitemates in college was half-retarded.

Cowboy Bebop is the perfect gateway drug. Fullmetal Alchemist is also a good one to start with.
If you're a guy, Love Hina is also a good choice.
If you're a girl, hmm. I'm not sure. Princess Nine is a solid show, as is Kaleido Star.

Yeah, a lot of people started with Love Hina (including me)Python wrote:Cowboy Bebop is the perfect gateway drug. Fullmetal Alchemist is also a good one to start with.

I don't know about Fullmetal Alchemist though. The series is full of those flawed characters that make a show interesting, but it can really be depressing and heavy...'specially fer new people.
Well it all depends on personality.
I haven't seen PNine 're Kaleido Star... 've heard good things from my brother though.
