Firstly, have you seen any anime before? What did you/didn't you like?
What kind of shows/movies (in general, not anime related) do you enjoy? Is there anything in particular that you hate?
It's very hard to just suggest a good anime, as it encompasses many different genres, for people of entirely different preferences
hmm something with like epic fighting or whatever would be interesting i think. ive never watched any tbh! maybe something thats pretty current or modern that i can catch up to the seasons so i can watch them as they come out? haha

Hmm, I'm not super familiar with fighters. Do you want something dark/gritty? Or maybe realistic?
There aren't a lot of modern fighting shows coming out, since the market for fighting anime is pretty much in a stranglehold by the Big 3 (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece). Of those, Naruto is my personal favorite, but it's really up to preference. Bleach is ending now, and lots of people have a hunch that Naruto is nearly done too, so maybe something new will come to fill the void.

Fighting including? -hand to hand, weapons, magic/spells/abilities?
You might like One piece(ongoing series) (weekly jump series) has special powers, lots of good fights due to variety of skills. But currently over 500 episodes so...
Maybe dragon ball z(finished), very nice nostalgic anime for me, theres also dragon ball kai (remake of Z)
Dragon ball Z series - around 200eps i think, hand to hand fighting. Battles usually go for over 10 episodes, maybe more depending on transformation/forms.
Naruto/naruto shippuden (sequel - ongoing) - good fights variety of skills/moves/powers but i find characters quite whiny and annoying.

Two shows that I know of that contain fighting are Ikki Tousen and Tenjou Tenge.
Tenjou Tenge I've seen and I can confirm it is essentially centered around fighting with a really solid story line and likeable characters. It isn't really modern however and only has a single season as far as I know. Has quite a bit of ecchi (non nude porn basically) but nothing really serious. I'd say it falls under the genres of fighting/drama/ecchi
(Note: it can also be spelt as Tenjho Tenge and Tenjo Tenge) http://myanimelist.net/anime/174/Tenjou_Tenge
Ikki Tousen I haven't seen so I can't really comment on it but as far as I know it has more sexual references than Tenjou Tenge, MaL actually says it's rated R :O http://myanimelist.net/anime/257/Ikkitousen
Edit:
Just a word of warning: Both of these are pretty lewd even by anime standards, so don't watch them on a family television for example.

i think i might try one of the movies first and see how i like that, then look at one of the series' - going to start with evangelion 1.0. - seems pretty epic?

Evangelion is epic. Definitely a classic. Starting with the new movies is a good idea. It's starts off as a retelling of the series, then branches off
Yes definitely watch the evangelion movies, waiting for the 3rd movie coming out this year (beast mode anyone?)
Haha LoL and Dota2 very different and similar at the same time, i prefer dota just cause i played dota prior.
