hey. so i felt this needed to be.
i know i'm not the only anime fan around these part. (looks at robrich)

so i just finished .hack//sign. and Azumanga daioh earlier this week.
i enjoyed hack sign much more.

so what are some good ones i can watch that i've missed? i plan on watching .hack//dusk and .hack//liminality soon as i get the eps i'm missing from each. 1 per i think.
i do have a big pile of anime as can be seen on the anime page of my site. if you can recomend any that i have that i havn't watched.

hmm i dunno where else to go with this.

I use to watch Speed Racer about 30 years ago I guess you could call that some sort of anime.

Excellent collection IMO!

How about these?

Noir
Dirty Pair Flash
Patlabor
Bubble Gum Crisis
Tenchi Muyo (OVA and Universe, not Tokyo!)
Macross Plus
Sakura Diaries

I could go on forever...

heh. i've been wanting to get Bubblegum crisis. i have a hard time finding them. i always get the 2150 or whatever instead of the reg one. and i started to watch sakura diaries. i watched the first ep. but i only have 3 of them i think.

Dirty Pair Flash probably rates as my all time favorite. Over the top comedy, huge explosions, and great character development. I was rolling in the floor laughing after only one episode, definitely a great pick if you like anime comedies.

Naturally I should add the classic Project Ako series as well. That was the best parody series of all time, though some of the humor might be lost if you didn't watch a lot of late 80's and early 90's anime.

I always reccomend Cowboy Bebop and Trigun to anyone interested in Anime.

I'm a big anime fan,

as for new stuff on IRC and Kazaa, Macross Zero has some of the best CG work I've seen. I liked some of the stuff on TechTV, I haven't seen the show they are about to start. I catch .hack//sign on Cartoon Network whenever I can, I like it.

The Animatrix short films are good, I like how they are done by different directors.

Here's a few new shows to look for;
Witch Hunter Robin, Heatguy J, Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex, Wolf's Rain, and Samurai Deeper Kyo.

i've seen trigun. it was good. seen parts of cowboy bebop. someday i'll watch the whole thing start to finish.

Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex

Most excellent choice James. Great example of quality animation techniques.

I still have never watched all of Trigun, must get around to doing that one of these days. Cowboy Bebop was fun, though I recommend watching it start to end to best understand the complete plot development. Sort of like watching any Gundam series, you miss one episode, then you don't have a clue what is going on.

yeah missing an ep of gundam wing sucked. i think i saw the whole series on cartoon network twice beacuse i kept missing a ep or 2. but i liked it

and i usally wait untill i have the whole series before i start watching. but sometimes i get the first ep to see if i might like a un reviewed anime.

the internet is great.
