We will assimilate you through the manner most familiar to residents of San Francisco. Anally.

  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion
  • Gurren  Lagann
  • Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
  • Death Note

These are some of the more popular ones that you might like. The list ranges from high-school life, to mecha, to psychological, to action. Try an episode from each.

PS: Glad to see you here MB :)

And Code Geass is also very amazing <3

Anime covers a very wide breadth in terms of themes, genre, etc. While I could suggest any number of properties, I think it helps ease the transition if I get a bit more information about the sort of stuff you like from movies and television so that I don't suggest something completely foreign for a first-timer. Depending on what you say, I personally can suggest anything from comedies which deal in social commentary to suspense-ridden dramas to... probably other things I'd struggle to classify. Some of the ones already suggested would probably be on my list, too, but it doesn't hurt to know a bit more about your own tastes.

Haruhi nor Eva would be good for newbs. I love both those series, but it's not a first timer thing.

Bebop, Full Metal alchemist, GURREN LAGANN DO IT GOGOGOG, Samurai Champloo...

Stuff like that.

Gurren Lagann is terrible. The Borg has spoken. As is Code Generic-ass.

Well some of my personal favorites are
  • D. Gray Man
  • Code Geass
  • Death Note
  • Samurai Shamploo

I would be hesitant to try Neon Genesis Evangelion as your first anime, it gets crazy as hell in the end

Just.... no.

This statement isn't truth, don't be scared off MB.

The Borg will assimilate those with no taste. You come first.

Maybe you should start with Hellsing, even though i hate it, some of my friends who don't like anime enjoy it.

Hellsing is excellent.

Maybe the Gravion Series is a good start.
