Have you seen some of the classics like the Lodoss War? Fist of the Northstar?

As far as Adult Swim stuff. I liked Wolf's Rain and Witchhunter Robin. Yuyu Hakusho is good too. Rurouni Kenshin.

FMA brotherhood is great. First 10 or so episodes are the same as the other but after that the story changes.

Fooly Cooly - Action/comedy. One of my all time favs, good dub, only 6 eps.

Evangelion - Action/drama/mecha. Can get crazy at times, but it's an all time classic.

Kimi ga Nozomu Ein - Romance/drama, Good story but no action. Sub and dub are very different, I recommend the sub.

Elfen Lied - Action/horror. Good story and great action. Can get pretty violent/gory at times.

Seitokai Yakuindomo - Comedy. Very crude humor, but very funny.

Last Exile - Adventure/steampunk. Great artwork and a solid story.

I tried to pick from different genres. Others you might like:

Bleach/Naruto/One Piece - All are way up there in episodes and have a ton of fillers, but they all have large followings. The dubs, especially Naruto's, are all pretty annoying/bad.

Code Geass
Full Metal Panic
Kenshin
Great Teacher Onizuka
Honey and Clover
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Durrarara

I never watched an anime growing bc I thought they were gay and for nerds. Mainly because dragon ball z was on and it freakin sucked. Sorry to offend some, I'm not hating on any of yall for liking it but it drove me crazy as a kid. A ton of people liked it and whenever I gave it a try I just turned the tv off, went outside and played baseball.

Anyways, about a year ago a few of my buddies talked me in to watching Trigun. BLEW MY MIND. Wow. I loved it. I'm watching Samuri Champloo right now and it's good, but it's not on the same level as Trigun IMO. There's another one on instant I want to watch, it is something like Guren Lagan(???). Has pretty good ratings and sounds interesting.

Some good ones listed. I'll start off first by saying Berserk again. Best series I've ever watched, in my opinion, and a movie series remake comes out in Japan beginning of February.

Also, somebody listed Paranoia Agent. I'll second that. Add to that any of the other movies by Satoshi Kon. I haven't seen Paprika though.

Rurouni Kenshin is a great samurai series also.

quote:

Emeraldas and Harlock stuff is good. Looks for Queen Emeraldas and Captain Harlock. Those are really good. Two separate stories that intertwine.

Leiji Matsumoto. Both of the ones you listed and the Galaxy Express 999 as well as Space Battleship Yamato are all his stuff, and I think they all take place in the same universe.

If you are into Daft Punk, Matsumoto is the one that directed the movie made with Discovery as the soundtrack. Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.

I wish I had my list of watched anime on me, I clueless to what I've watched without it. It's still in physical form and has yet to be stored on my pc.

And to the guys talking about old Toonami, ToonamiAfermath is trying their best to recreate it. They have but a few new shows that weren't on originally on there(I think original Digimon ), but the rest stays close to the original. They even have all the bumps back to the Moltar days(even the signing off bump)
