Bleach up until the part with that little bitch that plays tricks on everyone.

Meh I could agree with you. The series was good up until then, maybe just a little dragged out, but NOTHING like what it became.

[/quote]if we're talking about the little girl who does illusions yes that part was dumb. some good fights came out of what developed out of that story, but the story was lackluster in general. after that it becomes so goddamn epic

Desert Punk is one of the best series ever made.

Now we're getting somewhere. I goes and gets.

Obligatory Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann post. Greatest anime series ever made, and best Gainax one ever made. It kicks the shit out of NGE.

VERY YES please watch Gurren Lagann... soooooo good.

a 2fer!  I'll look into it. 

[Eschatos]

I'm kinda into Fullmetal Alchemist, but that's it for me.

:O better than NGE and FLCL? /me goes looking

edit: I wish there were more FLCL episodes. :'(

edit: seconded about needing 100 more GitS episodes.

Yes, really. It's everything NGE and FLCL wanted to be but wasn't.

[A. Crow]

you sure about that?  I mean between the 2 of them NGE and FLCL cover quite alot.  I think the only subjects not covered between the two is furries and the application of micro-economics by the World Bank in the late 80s... and thats even questionable.

[copulatingduck]

Also,

.Hack//Sign (more than a bit emo, but a great series imo), Last Exile, and Witch Hunter Robin are a few more good series.

Make that a 3fer. Gurren Lagann is great, even if I think it didn't get enough episodes and the ending felt kinda balls. I won't say anything further, though.

Also, I fear for Code Geass's unblemished state of awesome now that it's on Adult Swim. I just can't help but worry that it'll create a whole bunch of dubbie fantards drooling all over Mr. Red Ranger.

Except TTGL surpasses the level of epicness of both of those series combined.

And it covers furries.

[CaffeinePowered]

TTGL?

[1Trace1]

I wholeheartedly recommend Full Metal Alchemist, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan, Trigun. I remember loving Gundam Wing when I was 11 or 12, how good it looks through my jaded eyes now is a mystery(the same goes for Ruruoni Kenshin). Death Note is generally awesome, although the second half was just decent.  I didn't really see what was so special about cowboy bebop(maybe I'l watch it again). If you also like movies then I'd recommend Afro Samurai(short, simple, but great animation), Studio Ghibli stuff is usually pretty good, and the first Hellsing OVA was good dunno about the rest.

[1Trace1]

TTGL = Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan = AWESOME

[Yomanz]

Personal favorite animes: Fullmetal Alchemist, FLCL, Bleach, Deathnote, rurouni kenshin, and gundam wing.

As far as bleach goes though, as soon as the soul society series is done just skip past the

What hawtpawkit said. At that point in the series just skip past all the episodes involving "bounto" or whatever they're called. The section after that it gets good again.

[A. Crow]

right now my to do list is:
Desert Punk
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan
Maybe last exile

Geass actually seems kinda tacky to me.  But so does Deathnote.  It could just be that I'm sick of hearing the same voice actors on all the adult swim stuff.

Also,

.Hack//Sign (more than a bit emo, but a great series imo), Last Exile, and Witch Hunter Robin are a few more good series.

I watched a couple .Hack episodes back in the day, I'd be afraid it'd turn me back to wow.  Witch Hunter Robin was one of the first anime series I saw in full.

Seen it, gonna see it, seen it several times since it was my reintroduction to anime in highschool, seen it, seen it, Seen all of them and use Castle in the Sky/ Spirited Away as a date night 1-2 punch: Miyazaki must get so much tail, Hellsing you say? I usually tried to avoid the stuff I saw at blockbuster, but ok.

[HuckBerryGee]

basically anything made by Shinichiro Watanabe(cowboy bebop), mainly Samurai Champloo. Also check Ergo proxy best anime I've seen
it has masks and body piercing deathblows and the animation is top notch like samurai champloo (same studio) and therefore rocks. episode 11 for crazy shit. +1 for for radiohead outro. gorgeous opening here

berserk is nice too

animes are generally better when they don't have a manga counterpart or a manga counterpart released prior to the anime's.

Evangelion


The rebuild is fucking amazing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNc4g7MOcN8

New favorite user. Watch Evangelion, it's outstanding.

[Dead Movie star]

The manga I like are:
To-Love-Ru
Kashimashi
Black Cat
Bitter Virgin
Soul Eater
Ranma 1/2
Azu manga daoi (sp)


... some are kinda girly so enter at your own risk. Also, the Ranma anime is surprisingly funny.

Edit: Oh, and Hikaru No Go is pretty awesome.

[Wedge]

right now my to do list is:
Desert Punk
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan
Maybe last exile

WATCH THAT.  It's awesome.

Quirky favourite of mine is Planetes.  It's a realistic take on space travel in the near future.  Top notch animation quality, and great stories.
