hello and welcome back to AL! I'm sure many members would be more than happy to help you. I will try my best as well. But before we just start suggesting Anime WE like it might be a better idea to get a feel of what YOU are into.
Do you have any particular TV shows or movies you like to watch? perhaps a certain genre you are more into?

Yeah, let us know if you've already seen any anime and which ones you liked and which ones you didn't like. Or maybe you have some favourite genres? You can find a list of genres e.g. here: https://myanimelist.net/anime.php

If you don't get what any of the genres mean, let us know.

As it's the beginning of my journey I don't want to exclude anything but I like drama, horror, catastrophic event , science, good storylines, time travel, money related,. Hope it helps

You might enjoy Steins Gate. That's very science and time travel :D

Yeah, Steins;Gate would be perfect for you. Not just because it's sf and time travel, but it's an excellent story with very good drama. I think it's widely available.

You'd really like Shin Sekai Yori too. I won't say why. But I don't like horror, and Shin Sekai Yori is too good of a show for it not to be one of my favorites despite it being horror. It's a uniquely good show. It was the best of its year and everyone should see it. I believe it's on crunchyroll.

Iroduku: The World in Colors is a really, really good drama involving time travel. We voted it the best anime of 2018 here. It was on amazon prime video when it aired, don't know where else.

AICO Incarnation is a really good action-horror sf. It's on netflix. It's defintiely something that's hard not to binge.

I concur even before I read @ Teeny 's post I immediately thought Stein's Gate

Spice and Wolf might also work for you as nearly every episode part of the storyline has a new way make money and IMO I classify its a drama

Bleach is a long anime, not the best to start with IMO.

But if you like a long continuous show Bleach may work but it doesn't fit the genres mentioned. Bleach is supernatural phenomena

Better to start with shorter ones.

Another is a good Horror anime

Steins Gate like the others stated though seems like the best choice as others have stated. It has an excellent story and is insanely popular.

I second Another, I really enjoyed that one, it's only 12 episodes too so shouldn't take too long to watch :)

Steins Gate is probably the best one to start with considering your interests. Ancient Magus Bride has a great story imo, and as others have suggested Another is a decent horror anime and is quite short.
I'd also suggest some classic films like Ghost in the Shell and Akira.

I also recommend Island, it's a drama with a great story and also time travel :D

I second Steins Gate regarding the time travel concept.

As for horror I recently started watching Ghost Hunt. It's really nice.
