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.

I got started on Dragonball, but I don't know if it's recommendable as someone's first anime? On one hand, it's so popular and so influential on so many anime that came after, it helped me familiarise myself with the tropes and stuff, but on the other hand, it's too long and could be intimidating for new people. I guess Detective Conan and One Piece for the same reason. Something that says all it wants to say in about 30 episodes seems like a better first anime.
