I've been an anime fan for a while now.

My favourite animes include:

* Trigun. ("Love and Peace!")
* Bubblegum crisis.
* Ninja Scroll.
* Cowboy Bebop.
* Oh my Goddess!, ('Adventures of mini Goddess' too.)
* Love Hina (It's just a funny little show).
* Gungrave.
* Gunsmithcats. (This was the first anime that I came across. I used to read the comic strip in Manga magazine years ago.)
* Habaine Renmei.
* Vampire Princess.
* Tenchi Muyu.
* Lunar Legend Tsukihime.
* Dirty Pair.
* Serial Experiments Lain.
* Paranoia Agent.

Akira was the first anime movie that I bought. Bubblegum Crash (while it's not graphically stunning) is one of my favourites too.

I've been watching anime since I was yea high. My favs are Outlaw Star, Full Metal Alchemist, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop.

I'm also a fan of Ranma 1/2 (manga), Oh! My Goddess(manga), Tenchi Muyo, and Inuyasha.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone remember Iria? The first time I saw it was on Sci-Fi, when they still had Saturday Morning Anime.

Miyazaki did. I don't know how easy it is to find state side though. He also did Laputa which is another cool movie.

There are many different Lupin movies. The one Miyazaki worked on is probably the best, "Castle of Cagliostro", and is available in the US. "Revenge of the Fuma Clan" is pretty good, but "Mystery of Mamo" is pretty bad. "Gold of Babylon", "Nostradamus", "Lupin: Dead or Alive" are some others.

Laputa is sold in the US as "Castle in the Sky". Very good!

I have been watching anime since '87, and watched a lot of it in the 'raw' japanese- no subtitles. Some highlights are...

Movies available in the US:
Five Star Stories (available from Kinokuniya)
Wings of Honneamise
the Patlabor movies
Akira
all Miyazaki/Ghibli movies
Jin Roh
Roujin Z
Wrath of the Ninja/Yotoden OVAs
Area 88

Shows available in the US:
Crest of Stars/Banner of Stars (HIGHLY recommended)
Master Keaton (highly recommended)
Please Save My Earth
Full Metal Alchemist
Cowboy Bebop
Zeta Gundam
Orange Road (not the movie)
Escaflowne (not the movie)
Fruits Basket
Dragonball/Dragonball Z (japanese version)
Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket

Movies not available in the US:
Touch movie
Windaria

Can't say I'm an anime fan myself. Cowboy Bebop is the only show I've ever really gotten into (downloaded a few shows haven't seen all of them yet.) Mostly because it's reminiscent of Firefly (as it's been pointed out.)

I've seen a few of the ones mentioned (off and on) skipping channels and watching them but never enough to hold an interest. Not to be rude but most of them are the same to me. Howling castle was ok but I kept wondering about certain things that were happening and what it was about exactly.

On an art site I go to there are so many anime fan art (and many not well done) it's throwing me off anime. But if a good movie comes on (the darker the better) I'll watch it.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

I fairly recently got hooked on manga and anime. Along the lines of what someone else previously mentioned, I can't seem to watch ANY of it in English. I think the English "voice actors" sound too cartoonish, and that really distracts me from the story.

Anyways. My absolute favourites so far:

* Cowboy Bebop (bestest ever to me; Firefly is very reminiscent of CB)
* Samurai Champloo
* Samurai 7
* Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
* Bleach (not available in the US yet)
* Ouran High School Host Club (also not available in the US)
* Fullmetal Alchemist
* Desert Punk (can't help it, it makes me laugh. a lot.)

I'm also eagerly awaiting Death Note, hoping the anime will be as good as the manga, wishing I could get my hands on the movie....

And I could ramble on and on about this stuff, showing me to be オタク, and I couldn't completely deny that, so I'll shut up now.

Kitten: Have you been watching Bleach since the Soul Society/Aizen arc ended? I was watching it for a while, but gave up when it started looking like the filler arc was going to last a while. If so, has it gotten any better yet? It's been more than 2 months since I stopped watching.

Goat!
Yep, I have all the Bleach episodes so far (89 total). The "filler" stuff was kind of annoying. It seems to have morphed into another story arc, completely separate from the "Aizen" line. The new arc is okay...; I thought the beginning was really slow and annoying, but it's getting better. They still throw in the filler episode or two now and again, of course.

I'm really just waiting for them to circle back around to the whole Aizen thing.

And I'm a hopeless sucker for Urahara, so I can't just stop watching.

Cheers.

I decided to stop watching Bleach for a while when the filler came out, and to marathon it when the anime finally went back to the manga. I've been reading hte manga though and am caught up wtih the latest chapters out in Japan. I've been a little annoyed with Bleach for a while, though. It's tremendously entertaining and the story is great and all, but I feel it's kind of sexist. Well I guess it's a shounen show so I'm not surprised or offended, but the way the female characters are used has been killing my interest in the show.
