The Ghost in the Shell series is pretty good if you haven't checked it out yet. Obviously not as lavish as the movies, but good stories

And as usual, my standard anime recommendation is Golgo13, which isn't scifi but is awesome beyond words

Berserk, I've never heard anyone say a bad word about it. Even from people who don't watch anime.

Have seen Akira, not yet Ninja Scroll (though it completely slipped my mind when I was meaning to see it).

You need to watch Ninja Scroll.

Fist of the North Star and Venus Wars wouldn't go amiss either.

I never really got into the stuff that was played on Adult swim...

First time I watched full metal alchemist I HATED it...

I watched it recently and really enjoyed it...

Appleseed
Samurai Deeper kyo
Samurai 7
Princess Mononke
Black Lagoon
Battle Angel
Shootfighter tekken
Rurouni Kenshin
Blood: The last vampire ( I love this I wish it was longer)
Karas movies

This are just the ones I can think off the top of my head... All worthy of checking out

Plenty of good suggestions in this thread (Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Berserk, Samurai Champloo)

Death Note isn't really what you asked for but it's the only anime I have made time for in years. Very psychological/logic-based. Let me just put it this way: I had not watched an anime series in at least two years. Then, last summer, I watched all 37 episodes of Death Note in about a week.

wicked city was dope too. i remember that. thats on some pyschological shit.

HomeSkillet · Post by **HomeSkillet** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 2:56 am

i like pretty much every good movie in this thread.

somewhere along the line Anime just got incredibly ghey.

That being said, I'll keep an eye out for some of the stuff ya'll mentioned.

Donny Chicago · Post by **Donny Chicago** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:01 am

List which you have seen and I will tell you what you have to see...

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:33 am

Here's the other thread
http://www.philaflava.com/forum/viewtop ... highlight=

Anyways, this has been a good reminder to me that I've been slacking off. I think since that last thread, I've rewatched Akira and saw Ninja Scroll.

I still like the Vampire Hunter D movies better than the other anime movies I've seen. All five of them.

Here is the lists of movies ans series that I think are must watch:

Series:

Coboy Bebop
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Gundam Wing
Samurai Champloo
Initial D
Bleach
Trigun
Ghost in the Shell S.A.C.
Robotech

Movies:

Vampire Hunter D
Golgo 13
8 Man After
Ninja Scroll
Ghost in the Shell
Cowboy Bebop
Patalabor
Blood the Last Vampire
Naussicaa
Princess Mononoke

as you can see I am not into much of the newer stuff. The only thing that I have watched that has come out recently was Samurai Champloo and bleach.

Somebody mentioned Wicked City, I'll second that one. I'm surprised it's not better known actually
