Its an anime series, 26 episodes in all (like so many of them). In the first episode, one of the stronger players in an online RPG wakes up with his memory of the recent past missing. He finds he can't log out anymore - he's no longer sitting in front of his PC - he's literally in the game. I've only watched the first one so I really have no idea where its going, but it was very colorful. I liked it.

After my recent activity, I could certainly help educate someone 
So far I've been a big fan of Cowboy Bebop (space bounty hunters with a funky jazz beat 
), Read or Die (secret agent bibliophiles with great power over paper), and Slayers & Sorcerer Hunters (humorous fantasy adventure). Also one called FLCL, but I wouldn't possibly know how to describe that. Um, its about baseball, robots, guitars, scooters, adolescence, loneliness, the end of the world, space pirates, and fooli cooli. Just what is fooli cooli? Well, to be honest, I've watched the series twice and I still don't know, but its so insane I love it anyway.
I'm in the middle of watching a 140 episode called Inuyasha, about a half-demon trying to collect all the shards of a magic gem with the help of a girl from the present who fell through a well into the past. When he gets it all he can use it to turn full demon... or full human. I've got a long way to go, though, and I space it out by watching odd episodes of other shows here and there.

I might be biased, but I'd say yes. I like the style of art, find many of the stories engaging, and have really started to appreciate the sense of humor 
And there seems to be something for everyone.
Just stay away from anything called 'hentai'. It should always be approached with caution - disturbing stuff with tentacles and naked women and such *shudders*

Some of us like hentai.
Besides, it hearkens back to traditional Japanes erotic.
With octopi.

Oh, I'm not condemning it. I'm just warning him to be careful. Some of it can be well done, but so much of it I find to be completely tasteless. It would be one thing if it were romantic or even more like traditional pornography, but a lot of what I was exposed to just featured scenes of violation and degradation, and have really just turned me off to the whole genre.
Nah, give me big robots with guns, fantasy epics, odd plotlines, or just plain goofy comedies instead.
Can't get enough of the Cowboy BeBop. Great http://www.futureblues.com/music.html soundtrack by Yoko Kanno too.

Hentai is very scary stuff. Very very scary. Did I mention scary? There probably is some well done hentai out there, but the only stuff I've found is scary.
I've pretty much made it through my anime phase. the tapes rarly go in the vcr nowadays. A lot of my early acquisitions are never watched, except for my first one (Record of the Lodoss War). Out of the stuff I have, I'd still consider watching:
Slayers (epic level DnD-ish fantasy characters; comedy)
Record of the Lodoss War (lower level DnD-ish fantasy characters; mostly serious)
Visions of Escaflowne (fantasy/real-world; romance drama/blow stuff up)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (futuristic save the world from angels; very depressing and mentally warped, but lots of fun)
Revolutionary Girl Utena (modern day romance story with lots of swordplay; comedy with hints of seriousness and general weirdness)
Key the Metal Idol (near future weirdness. Girl? Robot? Idol Singer? Rather confusing, from what I've seen, but fun).
