I remember also the Wachowski brothers (Matrix) and James Cameron (Alien) praising Blood the last vampire.

Oh and I forgot to mention the absolutely fantastic Studio Ghiblis! I've got all the collection and it'll be a pleasure to watch them with kids (they work better than Disney's).

My favorites are:
Tsubasa
Fushugi Yugi
Escaflowne
Inu Yasha (have seen the whole series)
The Snow Queen
Ah my Goddess!
Ouran Host Club
Ghost Sweeper (have one character named for this one)
Card Captor Sakura
DN Angel
Sorcerer Hunters
Bleach (would really like to get the last 70 eps)
Hinotori
Kasumin
Yakitate!

and any thing from Ghibli



some older ones:
Maison Ikkoku
Ranma 1/2
Legend of the Galatic Heroes
Record of Lodoss Wars

well thats the ones I can remember ....have TONS of anime (husband likes it more than I do).

I like the old school Gundam series that ran in the late '80s-early '90s. The really old one in the 1979 was great as well. These days I prefer something easy to watch, like those movies from studio Ghibli.

Totoro FTW!

you want old---my husband (who is a few years younger than I) remembers watching the old macross on tv before he went to school in the mornings! And when we first starting dating he was all excited it was on vhs! (he had taped some of them in beta!).

Macross aka Robotech in the US, is not as old as the original Gundam (UC series), oh I remember Rick, Max, Roy and whatshername.....Minmei? Infact I have the DVD boxset as well.

You want old -- I'll give you Combattler V and Voltes V. Used to watch that, when we were living in Long beach all those years ago.

ugh, yes I remember some of them as well.....and yes we have the collectors series from 'robotech' on vhs even. Captain Harlock was 1978, didnt watch it back then (since it wasnt me who was into anime), but I could have if my brothers would have allowed me tv time (they are all older than me by more than a decade so I had no say in tv matters).
Astro boy is now on after inu yasha, at least I can say that I never saw it when it was first run! (so I am not THAT old). black and whites, geesh.

Woaw, Astro boy. They launched this serie in France with a lot of publicity and a big programme on Saturday evening. It was like the opening of 24 or Lost on american TV. Old memories

Ok guys, let's give some space to the younger ones or this thread is going to look like a museum

Most anime, like most TV shows are bad. A friend of mine made me watch Elfen Lied, we later burnt the DVDs and felt a bit better after that. I did watch Paranoia Agent, that was pretty good, but most weeaboo's dont watch anything good really.

Basically anything from Key is good:

Air
Clannad
Kanon

Mostly what I see people naming are main stream shonen aimed for little ten year old children. Stuff like Dragon Ball is terrible. Battles are exaggerated and it takes a whole good five episodes for the fighters to get a scratch on their left thumb. And after all that, it turns out that they're not at their full power level and takes two more episodes to charge up fully before they take three more episodes to have a half assed fight, and then finally they fight seriously. Fireballs can level planets, but somehow not each other even though they were on it. Too much bad things to name so I'm going to cut it short.

Good anime titles you would want to check out are:

Azumanga Daioh
Code Geass
Cowboy Bebop
Darker Than Black
Death Note
D.Gray-man
Dokuro-chan
Elfen Lied
Ergo Proxy
Full Metal Panic
Genshiken
Ghost Hunt
Gintama
Great Teacher Onizuka
Gundam (The Old Series, New ones like wing, seed, and 00 are good, but not that great)
Gunslinger Girl
Hayate no Gotoku
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Honey & Clover
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
Kodomo no Jikan
Kyou no Go no ni
Le Portrait de Petite Cossette
Lovely Complex
Lucky Star
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
Manabi Straight
Midori no Hibi
Mushishi
Onegai Teacher/Twins (Teacher wasn't that good, but Twins was great)
Ouran High School Host Club
Paranoia Agent
Rec
Rozen Maiden
Samurai Champloo
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei
School Days
School Rumble
Serial Experiments Lain
Shakugan no Shana
Shinigami no Ballad
Shuffle
Sky Girls
sola
Solty Rei
Texhnolyze
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Ulitmate Girls
Witch Hunter Robin
Welcome to The NHK
Yakitate Japan (Up until near the ending where it seems too rushed)
Zero no Tsukaima

The above list contains no hentai so don't get your hopes up, but there is ecchi though.

I'm a nihongaku/otaku (you can say its sad, but my life is dedicated to anime), so I know what I'm talking about when I say Naruto, One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, Digimon, Pokemon, Sakura, InuYasha, Yu-Gi-Oh, Bleach, and BeyBlades are bad. If you spend your time watching Saturday cartoons like these, you're never going to get to the good stuff.

how dare you!
thats blasphemy.

but you have to remember people like different stuff, and what you like someone else might not like it, and what you dont like others will find it godly to them.

Death Note,Ergo Proxy,School Days,The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,Solty Rei, Moonlight Mile, Claymore, Hellsing (ovas, havent gotten the serie yet), Heroic Age, Seto No Hayanome, Trinity Blood, Sakura Card Captor, Bleach.

those are the series i have seen,
