Good first animes to watch?

Got Megane?
Well I often talk to one of my buddies about anime, on a weekly basis, he often consults me for animes he should watch and recommend to other anime fans, or new to anime people, so this is more like a two part question.
For someone being introduced to anime for the first time, should some of the first animes he see (or maybe even the first) be one of those ecchi harem comedies? FYI the guy is a minor, I believe my friend mentioned how he was around the age of starting High School.
I say No, unless he requests to see something like that.
But, can I ask you guys for some series he should see first? I already have some picked out, but I'd like to hear some opinions please.

Depends on his preference, but for the most part you should probably start him off on some main stream stuff like FMA or Yu Yu Hakusho.

Pick out a few gems from different genres. The first two animes I watched was Love Hina and Chobits. They're not that long, humorous and easy to get into, and not that serious. On the other hand things like Cowboy Bebop or some series with more action might appeal more.
But idk, I got one of my friends into anime by watching Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (Kare Kano) which is quite different, and not to mention the ending of the anime is really, really shabby.

For the already anime fans, you could suggest Air, Kanon and Clannad. It may be hard for new people because of the faces are very distracting at first.
For the new anime fan, I'm thinking Mainstream... something like Haruhi, Deathnote... Code Geass or Gurren Lagann. I consider those Gateways.
Since he's starting HS, it's good to have a few ecchi now and then so To-Love Ru, Strike Witches and Zero no Tsukaima.
Oh and just to throw it out there, School Days.
EDIT: Azumanga Daioh. How can you not like it.

Okay thanks so far, and its okay for a guy starting high school to start watching ecchi harem comedies? Can I get more thoughts on this, which ones should he watch, or should avoid at the moment, I wanna be able to show him a bit of everything before he decides to stick to maybe 1 genre.

For a newbie, you should start with the classics and work your way up to the present anime. That way, you'd see how much anime these days suck balls compared to the golden age.
Start with Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X), Cowboy Bebop or Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter)

A classic anime would good to start with and my no.1 recommendation is Slam Dunk since it has all the element of any anime genre in it love,comedy,conflict etc etc (but more on comedy XD)
after that,if they know which genre their like I would pick specific anime just for them to watch according to their interest
K-on <--Something simple and funny
Saikano <--Emo and depressing love anime
Samurai X <--Action
Serial Experiments Lain <--Weird
The Wallflower <-- A good shoujo anime,alot of funny stuff here
Okane Ga Nai <-- If their into Yaoi o.O
this are just my thoughts,in the end its up to them to decide,but Slam Dunk is a good anime to start with cuz I watched Slam Dunk and Samurai X when I started to "know" anime and those two still remain as my fav till now :)

Just show the kid DBZ or Naruto.
Unlike other animes that are good like Death Note, Code Geass, Clannad, and such.. action animes like DBZ, Naruto, and Rurouni Kenshin are easier to watch.
Not all first timers enjoy watching Code Geass or Clannad (Yes I know how great they are). But you just have to love anime to be able to stand all that talking in the beginning.

It really depends on his preferences but the popular anime would do the trick just like Naruto, Bleach, and Fairy Tail.
I also recommend Rave Master.

Talking about old school. I'm watching Prince of tennis now. Pretty decent even if nowadays it's considered overrated.

First two I watched was Love Hina and Chobits I think. Dunno if they're a good First Anime to watch, but I know I got more interested after watching them. Then again, I was quite a lot younger than I am now when I watched them, dunno if it matters though.

Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann.As a first anime? If you're faced with such randomness right at the beginning... I dunno man, might have the opposite effect.
