>>13692Here's the thing. Don't disregard anything said in this thread, but if you want to invest some time to the medium, even a little, then:
1) Get a My Anime List (MAL) account. It's easy to track anything you plan to or have already watched.
There's an unofficial Android app that works very well called Pocket MAL.
2) Bebop, Madoka, Fullmetal, Trigun, Death Note, or whatever is all good. Pretty much a MAL score of 7.0+ is a good rule of thumb to get you off the ground.
3) Branch out. If you stick with Sci-fi stuff, you will run out faster than you'd think. Adventure is a broad genre but serves well into lots of categories.
I started like you wanting only comedies, but you will find more to watch if you explore just a little bit.
4) Non-comitment is a non-issue. If you don't like it, don't keep watching it. It's ok to move on to something else.
5) Stay away from moe-shit. That means pretty much just little girls doing cute things. If it looks questionable, then do a Google image search of it first.
As an example, Madoka Magica looks like it'd be moe-shit, but its actually darker than the ass-end of Africa.
Things you should watch to get a feel for what you'd like:
Aldnoah.Zero (giant mechs)
Angel Beats (comedy/drama)
Another (horor/psychological)
Chuunibyou (little girls doing cute things)
Cowboy Bebop (sci-fi)
Death Note (psychological/thriller)
Fullmetal Alchemist (both) (sci-fi/action)
Good Luck Girl (comedy)
No Game No Life (adventure)
Soul Eater (action/adventure)
Trigun (sci-fi/western)
You'd likely watch a half of these anyways. They all have a low bar of entry and are all in English.
They are good starting points, regardless of who tells you what show sucks ass. Form your own opinion of each show.
