What good things are there to watch for a complete beginner?
Slice of life shows.
You can categorize content in your target language by domains of interest. The easiest domains to start with are children's shows, slice of life and romance anime. Because TV programs for kids often have very little dialogue and overly simplified language, most people skip them in favor of slice of life and romance anime. Gradually, they expand to other anime genres until they can comfortably handle a wide variety of content and understand it.
To find beginner-friendly anime, try searching on MAL. Exclude more complex genres (like mystery or sci-fi) to avoid running into shows that might be too difficult.
