Your favorite anime

"Dead Leaves" since that seems pretty weird too, but I've heard mixed reviews about it and I've not been swayed enough to go out of my way and watch it yet.

Steamboy is somewhat reminiscent of the Studio Ghibli way of story telling (in my opinion) so if you're a fan of those movies, then you'll probably be a fan of this.

Dead Leaves is directed by the same guy who directed Gurren Lagann. So if you're digging into Oshii history by recommending Angel's Egg, might as well get into a little bit of Imaishi's history with Dead Leaves, since you already have some interest in it.

I did not know he directed Gurren Lagann aswell! I will have to make a note of getting ahold of this show then!

If we're talking about just really pretty animes aswell, I recently watched Bobby's in Deep which I had heard about via a podcast I listen to, and it's an incredibly beautiful anime, all done in traditional means (like watercolour, inks, paints etc) but it's not a particularly exciting show since it's mostly about atmosphere and slice of life about a guy called bobby, It's only about 40minutes but totally worth the watch if you want to see some lovely animation.

And another weird show I enjoyed was Kemonozume. the director of that show also did Mind Game and Kaiba which is on my to-watch list aswell.

Other than that, I'm glad I chose to take a back seat in this thread. VexNet came out of nowhere with some dern good recommendations.
