Finding the best anime for beginners is a daunting task. Crunchyroll alone has hundreds of series, and everyone has an opinion about which one is best for you. The likes of One Piece and Evangelion earned their status as anime greats, but that doesn't mean they're newcomer friendly. Dense plots that assume you're familiar with the genre and an intimidating number of seasons mean some of these staples are best left for later.

We've sorted through and picked out 11 of the best anime for beginners, series with strong, well-developed themes and gorgeous animation that give you a taste of the medium without taking up months of your life.
