Anime fans recommend an anime to someone who doesn’t really like anime. I’m game to check something good out but I don’t want to watch 300 episodes either

12 and 24 episode shows are so common now that there's a lot of low commitment anime available. In the past year alone Frieren and Dungeon Meshi were both 24 episodes (with more to come later but I doubt cliffhangers are a deal breaker)
(With some baseball, electric bass and guitars, and a random af South Park reference to orient the new viewer, lol)
(amusingly she has now gotten very into webtoons)
i will also offer up Samurai Champloo
that answer has layers.
but I’d start ppl with a film
Your Name is stunning
I remember really liking Terror in Resonance
I loved Bebop when I was a kid, watching random episodes on adult swim, and eventually watching the whole thing in order on Netflix in high school
Now that I think about it, maybe I need to add Afro Samurai to that list
Also, for a totally different weird & wonderful vibe, Mushishi.

Now, _soundtracks_
That’s hard but the W goes to Yoko Kanno, no contest
But Cowboy Bebop *is* a good default to fall back on.
there are some great dubs but very few dubs where you can seriously argue the english version is better; bebop is one of the latter
I dunno if all of the humor has aged like wine, per se, but it's certainly a gem overall.
The fact they dubbed it so hard it got a full genre change is incredible. 11/10.
