Red Garden is about 4 highschool chicks who all die one night and wake up the next day with everything feeling wrong. They get forced by these 2 strange people to fight some weird guy who is acting like a rabid dog. Their lives kinda get turned upside down and they all bond with each other since they're alienated from basically everyone else as they get better control of their new powers deeper into the story. 23 episodes, iirc. |

Naruto is great if you watch the uncut japanese version. The 5th box set just came out. Although there is a lot of filler at one point, but its all in one clump. Not spread out over the series. So when those sets come out you can just avoid them.
Grave of the Fireflies is awesome, but have prozac handy. Its the most epressing film ever made. The dub of one piece is one of the most buthered translations ever. WATCH THE SUB. |

Funimation came up.
I like: FULL METAL ALCHEMIST (+ Movie) Basilisk Crayon Shin Chan GITS: Movie GITS: 2nd GIG (Didn't really like the SAC season) Neon Genesis Evangelion Wolf's Rain Trigun Witch Hunter Robin Cowboy Bebop And I'm most likely gonna love DMC. |

Without giving too much away; a city is terrorized by a kid on roller skates with a bad habit of whacking people with a bent golden baseball bat. The series initially plays his 'urban legend' similar to other spooky legends like Bloody Mary where you'd have met a certain criteria prior to being attacked. The first few episodes are disconnected stories, but near the end of the series it gets pretty deep. Check it out sometime.

I have only seen like 3 episodes of death note, and they were in the middle of the series. I have to say though it's pretty damn good

Like Funky Fly, these are up there as the best
Death Note(not going to spoile it but the ending could've been better and the show itself should've been longer) Bleach (sub, though I kinda like the dub, all they had to do what pronounce some Zanpaku-to names right) Trigun Gundam Wing InuYasha Darker Than Black Claymore Street Fighter 2V Dragonball/Z/GT(I still like them for some reason) Sailor Moon(don't ask why) Edit - forgot InuYasha Last edited by Dark-Slicer Diago; 12-13-2007 at 09:47 AM. |

I've really enjoyed the whole Ranma 1/2 series. It may not be viewed as the best but it is definitly worth a watch.

Fullmetal Alchemist
Record of the Lodoss War (both series) Death Note (amazing to me) Ghost in the Shell (inclusing Stand Alone Complex, S.A.C. 2nd gig, and Solid State Society) Dragonball (Original Japanese with Subs) Kikaider Samurai Champloo Wolf's Rain Cowboy Bebop (the movie is INCREDIBLE) Tenchi Muyo Gundam (like 95% of the series and movies) Bleach (current fave) Ninja Scroll One Peice Outlaw Star Big-O (admittedly, I am a fan-boy for this one, just love the atmosphere of it) Reign: The Conquerer (too short, but very good) Edit: Trigun (post a few up reminded me of its greatness) But the best ever is Akira. I still hold onto hope there will be an Akira 2 (even though this movie is 20 years old now). It is that good. In fact, I am going to see if there is any new news on a sequel right now. |

Excel Saga is really my favorite of all time. Azu Manga makes a close second, and Haruhi's getting there.
Elfen Lied is bad ass but fucked up. |

I love Big O but I don't consider it Anime, way too many western influences. Damn good show, though.

Giant robots fighting don't just SCREAM anime to you?
![]() Forgot to mention one of my favorite comedies, School Rumble/School Rumble Nigakki I also have to throw in Lucky Star. You'll feel like a pedophile watching it, but it's worth a watch. Just don't get thrown off by the first episode. |

Ninja Scroll is definately one of the greatest anime movies ever. I always have and always will DBZ. Bleach is pretty good, as is Desert Punk and cowboy bebop. Blood+ isnt really that good and neither is chrono crusade. Saiyuke reload is aight since it has a cool story line.

The Big-O
Saiyuki (I got all of the first season. I had the first disk of reload but turned it off after one episode cause it had a bad dub.) Cowboy Bebop Ninja Scroll (Series and Movie) Outlaw Star Full Metal Alchemist - God. I really got finish that set. Heat Guy J Got some of Miyazaki's movies. Adult Swim started running Trinity Blood. I caught an episode of that as I was getting ready for work and I thought it was pretty good. Gotta find me a full set of Ronin Warriors. |

How am I the only person who's mentioned naruto?
Its not the best anime but it surely deserves more than one mention. Even if you're not that interested in the story, the fight scenes are some of the coolest ever. Mainly because they use intelligence and cunning to outwit their opponent to gain the upper hand instead of simply "powering up" like a lot of other shows. (Although they have a small bit of that as well.) I also think the characterization is a lot better than in most shows. They have a lot less filler characters than in other shows. Almost everyone gets their own storys and moments so you feel like you know them as well as you do the main characters. |

That said, I think Naruto's shite in both English and Japanese. I don't care if people like it, I just don't.
