Please recommend me an anime to show a friend
Tomorrow, a friend is coming over for a night where we share our interests, she's going to show me Formula 1 races, and I'm going to show her an anime.
She doesn't watch anime because they don't really appeal to her, and I think I'll only be able to show her a maximum of two episodes, but I have no idea which anime to pick.
I was thinking of something more recent, with really beautiful animation.
Please please recommend an anime with a very engaging first couple of episodes, but she doesn’t like psychological or gory stuff. When I mentioned those kinds of shows, she made a bit of a grossed-out face.
I think she'd prefer something sweet and fun, but definitely not anything slightly ecchi, I’m sure she’d hate that too…
Please help, it’s so hard to choose! ╥﹏╥
I think the best way to introduce someone into anime is with the comedy genre but still have a bit of romance.
Maybe start with Ouran because they have the best English dub. It's easy to get into it or maybe nozaki Kun.

If I could recommend ’Tsurune’; A sport anime about Archery and our main character strives to get better from the archery panic with the help of the people around him. The animation if I say so myself, is beautiful and the sounds when the characters let go of the bow and arrows is just, UGHHH

To introduce her to the concept of anime as an art form: "Keep Your Hands Off Eizoukoten". It's basically a love letter to anime cr......

You should go for an anime like Death note, Castlevania, Erased, or if you want a movie I suggest a studio ghibly movie like spirited away or a silent voice

I was going to say Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, but that has some violence in it, so I guess your friend wouldn't like that. Anyways, I came across this list https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-with-no-violence-ranked/anna-lindwasser so maybe she would like something from that list. I have only seen K-On and Hyouka from that list, but I really......
