Samurai 7 was good, and Gunslinger Girls is really good yet kinda depressing.

I loved Chrono Crusade and Noein is some good sci-fi.

I'm still working on This Ugly Yet Beautiful World and Mushi-shi.

And I love The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya!!!

I saw one-and-a-half episodes of Haruhi (at FanExpo; they were late starting, so I had to skip out midway through to get to another panel), and instantly joined the Haruhi cult.

I'm waiting for the box set, though, to avoid having to wait for the inevitable "next" disk to come out.

Cowboy Bebop and Trigun are really the only two anime's I've enjoyed.

I've watched Ghost in the Shell and Neon Evangalion, along with bits of some others, but I just can't get into them.

Robotech on Saturday mornings when I was eleven, Voices of a Distant Star was an awesome one shot, Samurai 7 was a pretty good interpretation of the Kurosawa piece, Samurai Champloo (from the first seven episodes I saw) rocked ass, Inuyasha was quite involved but I'd love to see the whole series and movies, but personally and above all for me is Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X.

and every time I play with passion I start breaking strings,
and my voice cracks when I sing from my heart
guess that's the price I've got to pay to know that I'm alive
this melody is tearing me apart

Cowboy Bebop (almost manditory for a Browncoat!)

Fullmetal Alchemist (Winry Rockbell is my other favorite Female mechanic!)

Ghost in the Shell (I've been known to quote the Major, and those Tachikomas(?) are really cute, for robotic killing machines! Have to arrange a little playtime with River 8-)

Bleach (Ichigo Kurasaki reminds me of some other stupidly heroic, blindly idealistic trouble-maker, but I can't seem to remember his name...)

Eureka 7 ('River' becomes a cute, but weird, mecha pilot, and 'Simon' morphs into a clueless mechanic. This version of 'Fly really makes them suits nervous 8-)

Samurai Champloo
Noein

Black Lagoon ('Simon' is a kidnapped Nipponski salaryman, who later joins the crew, 'Jayne' has, err, vast tracks of land... 'Wash' is a computer geek who once managed to piss off the Mob and the FBI at the same time. Their Captain is Mal, Book, and Zoe, all in one. Alright, I've carried this too far...)

Picked up Volume 1 of Pumpkin Scissors today, gotta go watch it.

Also Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Porco Rosso, which are movies, why I didn't think of them, I guess. And Patlabor: The Movie (or, as I personally refer to it, 'How I got over it and learned to love the giant robot suit genre!' 8-).

Micheal Keaton is the voice-actor for Porco, and he does it very much like Bogart in Casablanca. A beautiful modern fable.

Princess Mononoke is probably my favorite anime movie, ever. The hero never ever comes off as 'posing', and the bad guys, and girls, too, are not irredeemably evil. Greedy, and dreaming of personal power ("The very thing to rule the world!"), but they look after their own people, first and last.

Anyone ever see a horror called the adventures of Unico? I think that piece of (whatever the chinese phrase is that Kaylee says, mind blank right now) ruined any possiblity of enjoying it for me. However, I have seen and enjoyed Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Robotech, and some other one that I can't remember now(it was late, I was sleepy, it was on G4, or maybe SciFi). I liked it, just can't remember. Can someone get the cortical electrodes?

*Edit: it was Patlabor, re-read a post above me and it clicked. I think it was the 3rd movie.
