I agree 100% on that.

Give her some time watching Death Note (to build suspense), and then recommend some (ecchi-free) romance shows. That's sure to get her to like anime.
People agreeing with me is always welcome, very much so.
And I'm quite sure its proven that first impressions, previous thoughts, etc. affect one's perception of things (AP Psychology?), so I would recommend showing her some of Death Note's ratings and such, and maybe having someone close, or yourself, tell her how good it is (because it is.)
Again, 5 Centimetres per Second is a wonderful non-ecchi, not heavily romantic so as to disrupt your viewing pleasure if either you or your wife aren't particulary keen on romance, and is a very realistic, touching, and somewhat depressing view on life from the director heralded as the next Hayao Miyazaki (though I've actually heard of some younger anime fans [of my age or so] refer to Miyazaki as the old Makoto Shinkai.)
