What is the best place to start when getting into this hobby?  What are the most popular cartoons?  What is your take on the history of anime?  Why do you think anime has a large appeal in Japan and the west?
 
Death Note is widely regarded as THE anime for someone who has never watched any to get into the culture. Others include Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Naruto(which was the one for many otaku I've met).

Anime* you mean? Not cartoons. Most popular anime are those that have been running for a long time, or have left a great legacy. These include Dragon Ball and its sequels, Pokemon, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, etc.
And then, there are short anime that are exceptionally good, and in some cases, have left a mark in anime. These include Death Note, Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Attack on Titan.
Now, I'm not saying that these are good. But, these are undeniably popular.

Anime has appeal because it's something refreshing and new. I guess some people find it to be edgy, some find it to be mature. Also, it's versatile. Since it's animation, you can do whatever you want. And, since it doesn't have any restriction in terms of violence and sexual content.
 
Please tell us your genres before asking us.
Whether you are into comedy or horror or romance or action
 
Well, I agree that genres might be important but then again if we know what you like in general, we could give you better recommendations.
Everyone here likes death note. So you might want to give it a try.
Even though it's late, welcome to AMF, jyy.
