I love introducing new people to RPGs. It's one of my favourite things. I've even run a how to GM session for an RPG club and helped a new GM run their first few games. That was a fun experience.
I'd definitely recommend not starting with Anima for a first game system now though.
What system do you recommend for a first game?
Honestly, the system you run for new players should depend on who those players are, their preferences, and comfort levels with related things you can use to judge their preferences. A group of hardcore eurogame boardgamers are going to be a lot more comfortable learning a complex rule system than my in-laws.
