Raulpica, Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favourites, as well as Spirited Away, haven't seen Totoro is it worth watching?
Sure it is, but don't expect it to reach the level of awesomeness that those two have. It's a lot cuter, though
Like cute for 5 year olds? Or Hello Kitty Cute? What Kind Of Cute?Sure it is, but don't expect it to reach the level of awesomeness that those two have. It's a lot cuter, though

I changed my mind and remembered the best first anime.
When They Cry
(could also go with Umineko if the person is offput by lolis, but hell WTC is a lot better)

Didn't like Bleach (watched up to ep 60), never watched Fairy Tail or Beelzebub. Heard good things about Ao No Exorcist from @prowler_ , so I'm pretty sure that it'll be good.
Still, I wouldn't recommend them as "first animes".
I'll chime in with NEON GENESIS EVANGELION too. Awesome series, one of my first when I turned into a "professional anime watcher", too
Anyway, we're monopolizing this thread, so I'm gonna jettison from here for a while. *jetpack*
Fairy Tail Is Very Good for a first anime, Great Story, Charecters, Themes, To anyone interested watch the first few episodes as it takes a few for the story to pick upDidn't like Bleach (watched up to ep 60), never watched Fairy Tail or Beelzebub.

The first season was alright, but it went very quickly downhill from there.
Oh please, Its better than Naruto and One Piece, Im at 346, and still enjoy it, the problem is the fact that there is to much filler, the episode where he lost his shinigami powers was epic.

I don't understand how you can recommend YOUR best anime, without taking the other person's taste in account.
I would first ask which genre that person like or dislike. (some people don't like some story type, for example anything related to war, so don't suggest graves of the fireflies).
I would then consider his/her age. (don't show hello kitty to a 45year old man, or a hentai to a young one)
Like said by Nathan, don't start with subtitles unless that person is already used to watched movies with it.
Ask if he/she wants anything to learn the Japanese culture (mainly shoujo) or if it's just to discover animation made by japan.
Then, don't suggest anything with a strong cultural aspect unless you will explain it while watching.
It's best to go progressively with the Japanese culture.
And finally, ask if that person would prefer a standalone movie or a series.
Also, things to take in account:
what other movie animation did that person already watched?
Things like Disney old movies (bambi? snowhite?), newer like dreamworks movies? Anything like 3D CG (avatar) ?
What was his/her point about these?
And then find one which would fit what he/she is used to watch to not make it too chocking/disgusting/uninteresting.
sorry, no real suggestions

@Xdqwerty, to answer your question, they're a fusion Brit-pop/J-pop/electronic band with a woman vocalist. Flamingo is hands down their best known song but they've got a ton of other really good songs+1 -

For example, one of my other favorite songs from them, with some massive house music influence -+1
