Anime fans have voted for anime that they would recommend to people who do not watch anime at all, which could be possibly used as a kind of a ice-breaker with anime or just as a regular TV series. The first rank is not very surprising given the story of Clannad, but the fourth rank might be a bit of a surprise, at least for me as I wouldn't recommend it for non-anime viewers. Very surprising is also Yosuga Sora at the 16th rank. Would you recommend it to anyone who is not acquainted with anime/manga world? I would not! Not if I wanted to retain some positive relationship with them. What would be the series that you would recommend to people who don't watch anime?
