What genre of show are you normally into? that should help to recommend one.

Action/ Comedy / Drama :)

Well I started off with a lot of action/shounen personally. The first anime I've ever watched aside from Pokemon/Dragonball as a child was Blue Exorcist/青のExorcist! If you like something heart-wrenching and strangely beautiful and feels-y ask but the ones I have in mind aren't really good "starters."

I guess I started with Pokemon and Dragon Ball too :)

Hah, Boku no Pico xD *to be honest with you, it's not that bad as everybody think it is. People just love screwing each other with that one. There are a lot worse, but more entertaining than Boku no Pico. It is really boring :p

Then again, maybe it's because I'm a girl and I don't feel the way guys do about it. I still understand why it's "wrong" but it's still really boring XDDD

Action/ Comedy / Drama huh? Hm...

Newer case of anime... One Punch Man fits the comedy and action. It's only 2 eps right now.
I agree with Bee about Clannad.
Rozen Maiden (tournament style anime. It's a bunch of dolls fighting each other XD but it's great)
Girl und Panzer (it's an anime about high school girls driving tanks... I know... but damn does it get intense. Clutch moments owo)
Bamboo Blade (anime about Kendo. These girls yell... a lot ._. such good actresses)
Obviously gotta recommend Utawarerumono (not the new one, currently).
If you're into sex jokes... and I mean a lot of it XD Seitokai Yakuindomo is a hilarious anime. If you are looking more towards slapstick-y... Amagi Brilliant Park. :p
And... uhh... Marchen Awaken Romance ._. Obviously. My fav anime. Why not?
