Since the early 2000s, anime has taken the Western world by storm. Though it originated in Japan, this style of animation has made its way across the globe, captivating audiences of all ages.

Benefits of watching anime!

It can also introduce you to different genres of anime that reflect aspects of Japanese history, mythology, and folklore.

If I have to give a suggestion of which anime to watch if you are a beginner I would say DEATH NOTE is the best to start with..

Death Note is a Japanese manga series written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from December 2003 to May 2006, with its chapters collected in 12 tankōbon volumes.

It follows a story about a young boy Light who got a note book of god of death.. Ryuk, for his amusement, drops his Death Note in the human world, which is then stumbled upon by Light. Disregarding the first rule that states whoever has their name written in the book will die, Light is overwhelmed by temptation and experiments on a criminal by inscribing his name. Surprisingly, the wrongdoer perishes, and Light commits his first murder.

With the colossal power that has been bestowed upon him, Light assumes the name Kira and embarks on a misguided mission to obliterate all the malevolent people in the world, motivated by his warped sense of justice. However, the astute detective L has already started pursuing Kira's trail, and as Light's shrewdness matches that of L, the chase escalates into a strenuous intellectual battle, and the eventual triumph is only achieved when one of them bites the dust.
