What's a good anime to watch

I recommed Death Note . Is a good anime with good story and with a small number of episodes .

try JoJo's bizarre adventure, you'll get hooked if you like shonen's + fighting

I agree it depends on the Genres you like. Anime is a format, not a genre, it spans all genres drama to comedy to fantasy, Sci-fi, Horror, Thriller Mystery etc.

Me personally, some of the best anime have been original, not based on a Manga and are short.

Serial Experiments lain
Cowboy Bebop (This one is a no-brainer to suggest)

hitori no shita are pretty good, dont get distract with slow patch at the beginning

Naruto, will always be goated

Neon genesis evangelion without a doubt, for it. you will be left speechless

if u r beginner just start with tokyo ghoul

if u r beginner tokyo ghoul or naruto

Personally,I started with some long shows such as Naruto or One Piece, just stuff that has over 100 eps total. (Kind of helps you get used to anime)

There is quite a wide array of anime, jujutsu kaisen is the newest jonen type series with incredible animation that I have watched recently.
