anyway it's been a while since ive seen any anime. i used to watch bleach and naruto for some sadistic reason. then i lost interest entirely. i watched soul eater for a time, and while the animation quality was amazing, i kind of lost interest in it, too, after the 1st season.
saw all of cowboy bebop and samurai champloo, and they're amazing, but wolf's rain is made my the same guy i think and it's garbage outside of art production.
when i was a teen i was really into vampire hunter d (2 movies).
i too saw a lot of pokemon just because it was on in the morning years back. haven't seen a bit of it in probably 8 years though.
deathnote was cool until L died.
reign was trash. aeon flux was kind of neat. theyre by the same artist and the style kinda makes me nauseated.
i watched some yu yu hakusho because my friend loved it but i couldn't pay attention.
(case closed!) conan the detective was a VERY cute show.
lupin the third is amazing. hilarious and tawdry and campy.
moribito: guardian of the spirit is a very nice looking anime. a little slow at times but worth it IMO, very different from most anime. it stars a 30-something-year-old woman, that alone is something very different.
the big O is CRAP UGH SO FRUSTRATING AND PRETENTIOUS
neon genesis evangalion was ... uh, confusing. worth a watch but dont start trying to deconstruct it like the other japfags because it's not worth the effort.
blood+ the series is total crap with some nice animation, but the OAV is actually riveting and has a very cool art style
ghost in the shell, i like pretty much all of it, incl. movies, though it can be fairly pretentious in a political way.
spirited away is amazing. beautiful and whimsical and a little frightening sometimes, like a good fairytale.
princess mononoke is by the same people i think... it's very good but arguably not as good as spirited away.
ninja scroll was really good, very graphic, some scenes make you downright uncomfortable, but it's a good thing.
grave of the fireflies is probably the best anime movie i've ever seen, and it's gut-wrenchingly sad. if you're american, after seeing it, you'll want to walk the trail of tears. it's incredibly poignant in its down-to-earth, terribly-human characteristics and portrayals of trying desperately to make a little life out of absolutely nothing.
afro samurai isn't technically anime as it was american-made, but the art style is reminiscient of cowboy bebop. it's fucking awesome.
code geass is SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT, AVOID AVOID WARNING: J-POP NONSENSE
FLCL is hugely entertaining, you have to watch it more than once to appreciate it though, as it's very frenetic and strange
fullmetal alchemist is worth a watch. very j-pop at times but it features some neat original lore.
blue gender was CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPP...
eureka seven was CRAP on a CRAP HANDBAG though the animation is gorgeous
witch hunter robin is CRAP with a cool art style
outlaw star was very entertaining, it was like a more j-popped cowboy bebop IMO
paranoia agent is probably my 2nd most-favorite anime series ever, after cowboy bebop. some of the eps you have to watch twice because the themes and subtleties are hard to pick up on the 1st time thru.
shin-chan, the adult swim version, is really pretty hilarious
super milk-chan show is entertaining in a very self-defeating sort of "WTF LOL JAPAN" way.
trinity blood looked promising on the 1st ep and then TANKED.
BOBOBO-BOBOBOBO is like milk-chan but more on speed laced with lsd.
tenchi muyo! and all its spin offs are not worth your time.
trigun was very entertaining and definitely a classic.
there was this other OAV called like... perfect blue or something, it was about a rock star who falls from the limelight during a blackmailing stalking attempt and is forced to do some horrible shit... gah it was really good, but can't remember the name.
that's all i can think of ATM
() and it's just overall creepy as shit.
