Ah, but Fooly Cooly is just hampered by horrible American garbage accent. Everyone knows that Japan is superior.

Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone complex

I wouldn't recommend this. It is waaaaaaaaay too slow.

- Gundam Wing
- Gundam X
- Gundam Seed: Destiny
- Trigun
- Cowboy Bebop
- Dragonball Z? Hey, many anime fans started with this. If you're interested, I suggest seeing only the first 100-120 episodes. Once Goku beats Freeza, it gets way boring.
- Digimon! Well, it HAS digital monsters.
- Full Metal Alchemist
- Detective Conan
- Samurai X OAV
- One Piece is supposed to be pretty good.
- Blue Submarine Number 6, if you want a movie
- Android Kikaider: The Animated Series

Now and Then, Here and There

I was gonna recommend this, but I couldn't remember the name.

- Escaflowne has a really good story, though it may get too sappy at points for some.
- Serial Experiments Lain will suck you in, even though you'll never understand what's happening in it.

Wow! That's quite a list to be getting on with! I already have Evangelion, a Gundam, not sure which one, and Trigun (which is in black and white on my machine, because my machine is an arse), but I havn't got through with them. I've also seen half of Hellsing for some odd reason. I've got a couple of films as well, but again I forget which ones and I can't be arsed to walk over to the other room to check, on account of being a lazy sod!

I've seen the odd episode of Cowboy BeBop at stupid o'clock on some random channel, but I'm having a hard time finding it. I think it might just be on abount of me being an idiot.

Fooly Cooly, Furi Kuri, or FLCL, however the hell you want to write it out, is still a damn good show.

Also, if you're going for a mech show, and Gundam in particular, don't go for Seed. Like many entries in the series it's a remake of the original. But the original movie trilogy is better. True, the animation is dated, but the story is top-notch.

EDIT: I feel like a retard for not mentioning this earlier. Princess Mononoke!

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Hayao Miyazaki's work is quite good, you can't really go wrong there.

I rather like Samurai X, if you're into the feudal Japan era with samurai and the like.

Spiral is an interesting anime if you want heavy plot-and-character orientation. And a heavy dosage of over-overdramatization.

I forgot to add.

DON'T WATCH GUNDAM WING.

Gundam Wing STINKS. Gundam Wing is a shame to Gundam, and Real Robot in general.

I have been watching Destiny and certain aspects follow Zeta such as Shinn-Stellar compared to Four-Kamille. I also think Athrun resembles Char as not wanting to accept himself or really know his role. Just an observation on the sequel series thus far.

[StarlightAngel]

PATLABOR!!

Abenobashi

I hate their wanabe texan accents but I generally like the show.

[ThroneofDravaris]

Evangelion *dies* T_T

Evangelion is like FFVIII. You can love it, but since it's too different, do not start with this.

Start with Gundam SEED (DESTINY) instead.

You just recommended him not to watch the greatest and second greatest anime in existance...

But I guess deep plot lines that you actually have to think about are not for everyone...

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's not so hard. God's angels are space aliens, Japan is the real Eden, etc.

You...haven't seen it...have you?

(SPOILER)Angels were not aliens, and Toyko 3 was better destribed as a Neo Babylon.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot the spoiler tag...
