I always feel like I'm the only one who's ever seen Tengen Toppa Gurren Langann.

 

[Brok3n Halo]

For a good show of 50% fanservice and 50% action i would say godannar . . . . wait make that 80% to 20% ^.^, but if fanservice isnt ur thing Fate-stay night is damn amusing, and Souleater also has a delightfully amusing storyline . . . . well so far atleast im just starting to poke at it and already it makes me Gleeeee like a little school girl that just had someone confess there love to me, Hmmmm but moving on nice weather were having ...

That has to be the best first post I've ever seen, now veering back to the topic.. What was the topic again? Oh right, of course, the weather's a little to hot for my taste lately though...

"Gasp" Iv been seen (makes his cell phone do the ALERT sound from Metal Gear), Curious i didnt think i would have been noticed so soon, BUT YAY . . . . . Im Happy to be noticed ^.^

 

[Titanguy654]

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. A 26 episode series that will make you shit your pants. I'd say it's even better than elfen lied at times.

If this short scene interests you at all, you will love this series.

 

[Sparkytheyetti]

Something slower Shiguri. Check out Samurai 7 too.

 

[Veylon]

I'll recommend Death Note. It's a remorselessly intellectual game of cat and mouse revolving around the properties of a magical death-dealing notebook, yet far more awesome than that description makes it sound.

 

[Herb sewell]

Haven't seen paranoia agent mentioned yet so I'll do that now. Short spooky and damn entertaining.

Other personal favorites are Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Lupin the III, Ruroni Kenshin, Code Geass and a few others I for some reason can't remember right now.

 

[Zealot1011]

Dear lord, I know my masculinity will seriously be questioned, but I don't care.

...Love Hina

To hell with you who disagree. It's funny, easy to connect with, and a great feel-good show.

Also, Evangelion (a must) and Hellsing.

 

[Angelix]

TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN.

 

[Nazulu]

Full Metal Alchemist you have to see and I recommend Hunter X Hunter. They are both really well done and don't waste your time with flash backs and pointless episodes that go no where.

 

[El Capitan]

History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi. I feel like too few people know about this funny/awesome martial art anime.

[Harlemura]

Pokemon.
...What? It's not that bad. It's also the only anime I've ever seen, if it even counts as anime.

 

[Malkure]

Club to Death Angel really cracked me up.

Death Note for the complete awesome mind-f*ck

And just because they're awesome Full Metal Alchemist/Trigun/Cowboy Bebop/Samurai Champloo.

 

[The_Echo]

Adventure/Comedy-drama/Mecha- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Completely epic, gets better each episode.)
Action/Bangsian fantasy- Bleach (Probably one of the best shonen animes around, but the fillers are awful.)
Psychological horror/Detective fiction- Monster (Amazing story, brilliant characters, the whole shebang.)
Romantic comedy/Science fiction- Chobits (It's good enough to get to the end, but not especially great.)
Occult detective- Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro (One of my personal favorites.)

Also, Digimon Adventure 01/02, and Digimon Tamers.

 

[4fromK]

samurai champloo is probably my favourite ever...
followed by afro samurai.
then probably ghost in the shell. ghost in the shells storyline probably puled me in the deepest.
bleach is a faveourite of mine too. tho i can see why others dont like it, the pacing is pretty slow.

 

[MelodyMan]

I just watched Eden of the East, that skyrocketed into my top ten. Keeps you on the edge of your seat until the final episode, then leaves you wanting more. Glad they have the movies coming.

Other favorites include in no particular order:

Scrapped Princess (best fantasy anime I've seen yet)

Bubblegum Crisis OVA (best cyberpunk anime I've seen, also my first anime DVDs)

Full Metal Alchemist (actually just watched the first series when the second came out, now keeping up with the subs of Brotherhood on funimation.com)

Gunslinger Girl (So sad, but so awesome. The second series, so far that I've seen, doesn't live up to the first at all though)

Read or Die OVA (Fell in love with this show when I saw it crushed into a movie on CN, got the DVD the first time I saw it in a store, been meaning to check out the TV series but haven't yet)

Blood: The Last Vampire and Blood+ (best vampire anime hands down)

Neon Genesis Evangelion (like everyone else in the known anime watching universe)

Kite (may be H, but it had a sweet, tight action story and actual emotional depth, boy do you really hate the badguys by the end. Plus the fall after the bathroom fight was epic)

Nanoha (I'm not usually into Magical Girl shows, but this one had some of the best magic battling I've ever seen, particularly in A's)

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Entertaining, good buildup and great concept, only get's a point off because I noticed a logic mistake with the time travel)

Beyond from the Animatrix (Loved it's sort of ghost story sensibility and pretty CG layered backgrounds)

Voices of a Distant Star (Touching, amazing it was animated by 1 man)

Perfect Blue (Ausome psychological thriller, don't know what's real and what's not)

Higurashi Koro No Naka Ni (Creepy as all hell, I need to finish it still actually)

Excel Saga was awesome as it parodied everything

And as people mentioned above FLCL was trippy in an awesome way.

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is great but the Endless Eight arc is getting kindof old.

And for a couple things that fall outside of my usual watch zone but I found funny/cute:
Azu Manga Dio, K-On, and Rec. Only seen a few eps each of those so far, but always leave me smiling ^_^

excellent list just one problem.
its not higurashi no naka ni,its higurashi no naku koro ni

 

[Dommyboy]

Cowboy Bebop. Quite the wonderful piece, and quite strong with emotion too though somewhat stimmed in the ending of the series.

 

[FrozenPhoenix13]

wow there are quite a few animes I've never heard of in this thread and by quite a few I mean pretty much all of them

I know I'm gonna get attacked for this but the only animes I've ever seriously watched are naruto and dragonball z and I only watched naruto because I was still in love with ninjas at the time

something about a bright orange ninja just boggles my mind when I really think about it
