Aside from age-inappropriate or socially-controversial tags, I wouldn't recommend otaku culture and others that require prior knowledge to get the jokes or the story.

Making one of my friends sit through FLCL when I'd already seen it and they hadn't was one of the more entertaining experiences I've had watching anime, though.

It's quite something when "alien on a Vespa scooter smacks a kid upside the head with an electric guitar so hard that giant robots start growing out of his forehead" is just the setup, the teaser for a series.

    oh yeah, it's full shenanigans from the get go.

    I would definitely put it on a "should watch" list, i just don't think it's a good introduction to most people coming in to anime from a cold start.
