dont treat anime as a genre, but as a medium. Show them a movie that panders to their taste. Watching a TV show is time consuming, I doubt you can really justify them watching all of these long shows without getting used to the style, especially if you all watch it with subtitles. By treating it as a medium, don't force it on them. Just like someone who prefers books over TV, you aren't going to be able to convince them that TV and movies are better, and with anime you aren't going to be able to convince them that anime is better than something live action, unless they like it off the bat.
