...wat. I would never recommend that one anime in a billion years. Why? Because there's so many obvious flaws with the series that it obvious dragged and got boring. The first episode was decent, but I think you can do better than that. Since you say last three years, I believe Lucky Star will fall under that since it aired around the same time as Gurren Lagann. Now there's some quality slice-of-life comedy; but eh- chocolate cornets were not the best way to begin an anime series. Another decent comedy I could recommend is Hayate the Combat Butler, and since he's already somewhat knowledgeable in anime, he might like this one without going "wat" every five seconds for every reference. And hey- Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is absolutely amazing and a truly unique comedy. My bad if he's seen any of these.
Let's see: how interested would he be in Bakemonogatari? Fantastic first episode there, in my opinion. Also, Baccano and the currently airing Durarara! are both excellent series to recommend; though Baccano's beginning wasn't that great to me.
Hm, and as for action: has he seen Code Geass? Not an anime I exactly liked, but worth recommending and had a pretty nice first episode.
