Don't watch anime apart from the Dragonball/DBZ series, not GT though that sucks. Started watching almost 10 years ago, still brilliant. And yes you who were talking about the movie were right, it is horrendous.

I got hooked on that stuff watching "Starblazers" on AFRTS TV in Okinawa in the early 1980's.

I like Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim," or at least I used to. It's changed, don't care for it as much now.

However, of those that I saw, I liked:

Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Ghost in the Shell
Inuyasha
Bleach
Full Metal Alchemist
Lupin III

I also went to a Anime festival a couple years back here in Detroit as a photographer:

People put a lot of work into these costumes, it was interesting.

The first time I ever saw any "anime" I was really impressed by it. It was unlike anything else I've seen at the time. As I found more of it to watch, I became more, and more disappointed by it. So I don't watch very much of it.

But I am a big fan of Tenchi Muyo, and Tenchi Universe. (Tenchi in Tokyo, not so much) And I also really liked Fate/Stay Night.

I am currently watching the new DC Nation cartoons, particularly Green Lantern (I was never much of a GL fan growing up, but the production values are good on this new series) and Young Justice. I also watch reruns of FLCL and Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd Gig.

I don't watch much TV, but cartoons provide a nice escape from reality for me on Friday nights after work; I have MA training or foo-foo dancing most other nights. I like good anime and good traditional cartoons both. I have Cowboy Bebop on DVD, and I'd like to get FLCL as well.

FYI, I think FLCL is about the closest thing I've ever seen to a Salinger novel done as anime. The writing/translation is truly outstanding. I peel back the writing like the layers of an onion and just savor the dialogue as well as the internal monologues by the main character.

I've been a big fan of the Robotech series and really didn't start watching any other anime until I joined the service. Since then I've enjoyed Vampire Hunter D, Akira, Slayers, Ah My Goddess. Helsing and High School of the Dead were also ones that I just recently watched and I enjoyed them as well.

Ikkitousen! They have pretty awesome fights and great humor. But it's a bit ecchi and the last two season when they had a new character designer..that was really ecchi.

Growing up I was a huge Starblazers and Voltron fan. As an adult, I really haven't watched to much I've liked. I'll have to look at some of the list. I do like the Ninja Scroll movie, and the Samurai Champloo series.
