hi everyone! I’m new to anime and looking for some good starter shows to get into the genre. I’m open to all kinds of anime—action, romance, comedy, fantasy, or anything else you think is great for beginners.

Start with the Basics,

Get traumatized like the rest of us with Animes like Neon Genesis Evangelion,
Blood C,
Tokyo Ghoul,
Berserk,
Cowboy Bebop,
Bleach... etc.
extra honorable mentions : gintama (funny-action) Full Metal Alchemist, GTO (great teacher Onizuka), parasyte, Hajime no Ippo, Grappler Baki, Solo Leveling, Steins;Gate, HunterXHunter, Death note, Vinland Saga, Code Geass, Mob Psycho 100, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Tokyo Revengers.

I think everyone here would say that these are MUST-WATCH for any new Otaku, you can't live without watching these, both classics and new gen.

however, their next line is: Where is JoJo's Bizarre Adventures?

That too, don't focus too much on Avdol and Joseph's hot scenes, nor Giorno sucking off Mista.

And if you ever want the best anime of all time, it's Boku No Pico (Satire, don't actually look that up)

Prison School and High school of the dead are runner ups, they have some ecchi (lewd stuff), but are very entertaining and fun to watch.

DON'T TOUCH BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA (that shit is cringe)

(there are many more, it'll take hours, PS Azumanga daioh and Nishijou are really fun to watch, they're the brainrot equivalent of YTP)
(notice that i have not mentioned One Punch Man anywhere here, Nor Naruto, Nor One Piece, naruto's first shippuden and aikipuden were good, rest is trash, One piece is filler trash with over 3 gazillion episodes, like 1300-something episodes and that's aside from the movies, And One Punch Man is Parodical trash, it may be fun for a newcomer, but it's boring to me, quite frankly there are characters in OPM that are far more interesting than Saitama Like Garou, and again, the only good thing in this whole anime is the animation itself)

Good luck.
