i would say my guilty pleasure was the monster rancher cartoon. was silly but i loved the game, putting in disc and getting random monsters was a cool idea.

i also saw dragonball and dragonball z, but i got the show from ebay, it was the japanese version. then i saw the american version. i also still have the vhs japanease dragonball z movies, it was funny how long it took for them to come over here.

[childeroland]

Is the American version edited from the Japanese?

yes, it is. there is blood and you will see a hole getting blown in someone rather than a puff of smoke or a cutaway shot in the japanese version. they just sort of clean it up for tv in the US.

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, DBZ was one of the shows that got massively edited for American television during the Toonami years.

[misjuevos]

a recent one ive seen is moribito, the way they draw food in that anime looks amazing, always makes me hungry.

[Max J Power]

Cowboy Bebop
Evangelion
Samurai Champloo
Monster (the manga)
Rurouni Kenshin (the manga)
Macross Plus
all of Miyazaki's movies
Perfect Blue
Ghost in the Shell

I haven't watched them that much, but Trigun, Outlaw Star, and Black Lagoon could become favorites as well. Darker Than Black and Death Note aren't quite favorites, but they get honorable mentions.

[fracture2112]

DBZ is really the only anime I have watched and loved. Ever. Watching the first Dragon Ball series right now, and saw a few episodes of GT(which really sucks).

[Mr. Majestic]

There's to much to list so what I am going to put up here is Fatal Fury and Guyver. These two animes are the reason I am into anime today. They both blow my mind when i watched them as a child.

i also liked the fatal fury movies. the guyver series was good too. the live action movie was weird, but the guyver 2 one was better had some cool fights.

[CrypticOne]

Dragon Ball Z

Fullmetal Alchemist

Death Note

[YoungE808]

Outlaw Star
Samurai Champloo
Rurouni Kenshin
Dragon Ball Z
Yu Yu Hakusho
Everything Miyazaki
Ninja Scroll

Gonna transition from action anime to comedic. Will try out Lucky Star soon.

[misjuevos]

i think if i would have seen cowboy bebop first then outlaw star might not have been a show i liked. seeing outlaw star first i was able to appreciate it more. i guess the cartoony stuff in outlaw star would have put me off if i had seen it after cowboy bebop, since cowboy bebop is more serious. rurrouni kenshin and samurai champloo on the other hand are similar in their cartoony ways, so seeing them in a certain order wouldnt be a problem for me. by cartoony ways i mean like eyes bulging or silly scenes like a character being fat one second after eating alot then going back to normal size in the next scene. or faces turning red and steaming shooting out of their eyes.

I guess ninja scroll was the one that impressed me. I bought whatever anime I could find after that. I just looked at the cover and read the back and bought it on VHS at the time.

Heya,

I really haven't been up keeping with anime as of late, since about 95% of it sucks. Just like Hollywood. Hahaha. At any rate, there is a few gems here and there and most are already mentioned, and without further ado in no real order....

1) Dennou Coil
2) Escaflowne (Wow, shocked this wasn't mentioned yet!)
3) Seirei No Moribito
4) 12 Kingdoms
5) Kaiba
6) Sword of the Stranger
7) Eden of the East

yea forgot to mention escaflowne, the suit turning into a dragon was very cool. you are right about alot of the show sucking, i find some to be vary boring or just annoying and to kiddy. i don't like naruto for this reason also the animation is bad. what happened to anime used to be really great animation even on the tv series. now you have some pretty sub par animation for some of the new shows. i think they forgot their audience.
