General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[MexicanAnime]

There are a lot of solid series on those lists, both for newcomers and for old watchers.

One anime I actually really tend to recommend to people who really aren't into anime is Bacanno. It's around 13 episodes and has a great mixture of action, comedy, and mystery with some of the best characters I have come across in an anime. Not only that, but it also has a very western feeling considering that it takes place in New York with mobsters abound, all set to a jazzy beat. Many seem to love it, so I can call it a good starting point for some.
