I'm looking for something new to watch. Looking for recommendations.
My favorite so far are Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell.
I also liked FLCL(Fuly Culy) and Evangelion-Neon Genisis, although that one got weird at the end.
What anime do you like and why?

I am so not good with anime. I made it through one episode of Fuly Culy. It is sons fav.
I did make a few of Attack on Titan. Oh, and I liked the Future Diary. I watch a little bit of what son lkes. He also likes full metal alchemist and soul eater.
When I asked what might go with the ones you liked already he thought Gurren Laggan.

I like Mushishi (Mushi Master) as each episode had a nifty bit of 'wisdom about human nature' going on in it. The "Hero" in it also fairly charismatic in an odd sort of way.  There's no fighting, no explosions, no futuristic space stuff and some fairly 'flat' but yet often beautiful animation - and yet I got sucked into each story. I like Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo - so I watched Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo while bits of it were interesting and it did keep me watching it was mostly the animation (weird kinda stereoscope? 3D? stuff going on) that was the main reason to watch. It was very pretty. |

I don't really watch anime but I loooooved Cowboy Bebop. I had plans to cosplay Faye Valentine and half-finished the costume, but spandex is a bitch to work with!! (plus I'm not that skinny anymore.. lol) There's this other one my brother loves and the name escapes me... ugh. Oh, Trigun! He and several of my other friends really like that one.

Basically anything by this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_MiyazakiThe stories are intellegent, well drawn, and give me some insight in Japanese culture. Princess Mononoke is probably my favorite of his films. There is usually a moral message built into them besides the entertainment. |

Inuyasha and Full Metal Alchemist are my favorites.
DH is obsessed with Dragon Ball Z
They aren't actual anime but are kinda based on the style of anime are Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra on Nickeloedon.

I also really like Spirited Away |

I don't watch a lot these days but I used to like the shorter series and I'd recommend Samurai Champloo (same director of Cowboy Bepop) and Basilisk. Obviously those are a bit older though and not sure if they're on netflix. Pretty sure it isn't on netflix because if it is I imagine it would be edited quite a bit but the Berserk Golden Age Arc which came out in the last few years (3 movies total) is good. However, it's definitely not for kids as it's one of the more dark stories/series I've seen as far as anime goes.

I like Trigun. It's not on netflix anymore but I also loved Lady Death. It's more american style anime. DS loves anime and likes Code Lyoko and Squid Girl. Not sure what else is on Netflix because I'm trying to make my way through a few regular series right now.

I haven't watched too much in the way of anime. The only two I watched completely were Cowboy Bebop and Full Metal Alchemist (the original, not the remake). Both are pretty good. Full Metal Alchemist is on netflix if you're interested.
I've heard good things about Trigun.
Maybe it's because I watched the episodes out of order, but I had a hard time following Ghost in the Shell. They talk about a lot of political stuff really fast on that show. It's easy to miss something. But maybe I'm just too dumb to get it. Interesting concept though.

Oh yeah, I also watched all of Sameri Champloo. That was pretty good, and I think it's on netflix too. As you can see, most of the Animes I've seen are kinda old. Though Cowboy Beebop is pretty old too, from the 90's I think?
