Anime

[zetty]

i'm a fan of yakitate ja-pan...

[Allama]

Good ones: Ghost in the Shell (and the second one), anything and everything Miyazaki has ever done, the Kenshin movies, and a bunch more I can't think of just now.  Mental block time!  *dances*

[Delfos]

I've seen the Shamploo already, now I remember I had seen it already, it's nice, well drawn and thought.

[Allama]

Oh, are we talking about more than films here?  O_o  Okay, then!

As far as series' go, I adore Noir, Haibane Renmei, Gunslinger Girl, Rurouni Kenshin, Omishi Magical Theater: Risky Safety, .Hack//Sign, Samurai Champloo, and a number of others.  ^_^

[Delfos]

oh Manga has you!

[St Oz]

Not many people I know like Samurai Champloo, I think it's great!

[kor]

Samurai Champloo pwns!

[geek girl]

Series:
yeah samurai Champloo is awesome
Hack sign is really good what I've seen of it
Chobbits is quite good what I've seen of it, and the manga makes the rest of the series look good
Excel saga is awesome for the comedy value, I'm torn between liking it better dubbed or subbed
Panda-z is interesting if a bit mental
sword of the stars is good if strange (I think I've got the title right)
Dokuru-chan (I'm not sure if thats the name of the series or just the character) its insane but amusing
2x2=shinobu is also insane but fun
Death note is also good very atmospheric and the cat and mouse theme is great
Helsing (the original is for me better) dubbed as its one of the only animes where the english accents arn't annoying (maybe because they seem to be speaking english english rather then american english (and doing it properly though the gaffs on what they seem to think British culture is like are interesting))
Rozen maiden is really really good
Foolycooly is insane and I'm still not sure whether I like it generally as I was too confused.... watch it its an experience
Serial experiments laine is another one where I'm too confused to tell whether I liked it and you should watch it
onegui teacher (probably spelled that wrong) what I've seen of it is confusing but good
Gun slinger girl is good and again I'm torn between the dubbed and subbed versions I've seen
Full metal alchemist is cool and looks quite good from what I've seen (though some of it is just f***** up
Black lagoon, watch it, watch the subbed version


Films:
Appleseed is awesome and you can download the film if you have veoh (http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1510526fN9RTmBs) unfortunately its the dubbed rather then the subbed (its good dubbing on the dubbed)

Kiki's delivery service is awesome
princess monenoko also great
lagoda castels in the sky is fun as well

Serial Experiments: Lain is one of my favorites, too!  I've also seen the first 4 episodes of the DeathNote anime and was impressed, though I already know the story from reading the manga.  I also have to finish my guilty pleasure (Azumanga Daioh!) sooner or later, only having seen the beginning but having become immediately obsessed.

FoolyCooly is on my list of "must see" anime, as I've just heard too much about it to continue ignoring the series.

[kor]

OMG! FLCL(FoolyCooly) Rocks! I so wish there were more episodes though. 

[Allama]

The manga adaptation was only 2 volumes, wasn't it?  I think someone told me the anime series was only... 6 episodes long.

[kor]

Yes only six. 

[Osamafune]

I've seen FLCL, and I know it was pretty short, but I don't remember it being that short 

Hey Al, if FLCL is what you're looking for, check here. I don't know if they're English, Japanese, Japanese with subtitles, or what, but enjoy.

It's in Japanese with English subs. ^_^

[geek girl]

its pretty short, reasonably sure its less then 12 episodes maybe around 8 though, might be 6 I know it lasted better part of a term with 1 ep per week....

If we are doing ones you must see then find Black lagoon it is really really cool

I found a website that had loads on for free but I can't find it anymore
