An anime newbie would not enjoy this show. It's way too heavy on Japan-centric references for a newcomer to fully appreciate it (and hell I've been following the medium for years and a good handful of the references still go over my head!).
P.S. I am repping The Count of Monte Cristo anime adaption. I never thought Sci-Fi and one of the best novels ever created would blend well, but I was impressed with the output. I've watched that show at least four times over.
Some older stuff my wife liked- Claymore, Berserk, Death Note
Jojo for sure
Sword Art Online
I don't know if it's a gender thing but my wife just doesn't like the same stuff that I do. Like I thought Samurai Champloo was amazing and my favorite series but she didn't care for it. Same with Attack on Titan, I adore it. But she adores FMA, whereas I couldn't get into that at all.
Yeah mine did too, I'd also recommend this.

Shirobako is a love letter to the genre, I highly recommend for any anime fan (casual or otherwise). It also has a lot of relatable themes such as not being sure if you're on the correct career path, not being able to find work in your preferred field, scrapping by even when you DO have a job, etc. It's prolly my favorite of all time (fluctuate between that and Aria).
I'll back the My Hero Academia, Wolf's Rain and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure recommendations. MHA has been incredible.
He'll sing Ultimate is pretty good. Casshern Sins is great if you don't mind feeling like shit after you watch it. Can't go wrong with the Full Metal Panic franchise either.

I'm sure I missed quite a few references, but generally, I still had a blast watching it, one of my favourite comedy... no animes in general. Just fun to watch, light-hearted etc. I wouldn't call myself heavily invested in Japanese culture at all.

One Punch Man is a must see.

Ping Pong is life.
OPM is one I keep forgetting to mention that she has watched.
Mob Psycho 100 is from the same author, just as visually fantastic and probably the better story all around.
