i personally think it's dope...i'd like to get an idea of what people are watching these days...

we'll eliminate the obvious from this board: Initial D...

i recently got hooked on:

Vampire Hunter D
&
Naruto

both are like 16 or so episodes and excellent...although Naruto is a bit of a bitch and it can be annoying...lol..

old school:

Ninja Scroll, the movie, is sick...the subsiquent Episodes though lack something from the original...

Ghost in the Shell...

My brother watches some of it, but I was never able to get into it personally... I notice that sometimes people tend to get SO involved with fanship it becomes almost obsession and that gets a bit annoying, makes it damn near impossible to even hold conversation sometimes...

I've only watched some of the more famous stuff like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Beboy(my favorite), Big O and some other random stuff. I thought the Akira manga was much better than the anime. My roomate used to watch all the shows on Adult Swim, so I had to watch Inuyasha and that Robin show which I think are horrible . He's not too bright though because I had to explain to him that they were made in Japan and that is why all the credits are of Japanese people.

Gainax is mean, they have great character development, but then they end up having bad thigns happen to the main characters that you have grown attached to... messed up man... but messing with your emotions is a sign of good story and character development! I like them too, but i dont like how they screw with your head..... its not nice....

You guys are forgeting one of the best ive EVER seen. Tekkaman Blade 2!! OwNz aLL!! DBZ/GT is pretty good too. Akira, Ninja Scroll, Outlaw Star, Dragon Pink! <-- Not recommended for young ones though. LoL. ShHhH.

No Hajime no Ippo fans up in here? Victorious boxers, the game based off the show, also was the best boxing game since Mike Tyson's Punchout.

Current shows that I'm watching are Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist. Full Metal is almost in the top 5 best I've seen and I've seen a shitload of anime.

The best movies are Ninja Scroll and Ghost in the Shell cuz they are so classic and just kick so much ass. I can watch those movies every day of my life and never get bored of them. Other noteable ones are the Macross Plus series and of course the stuff by Studio Ghibli. Another thing to note is that if yoko kanno is doing the music for a show, it must be good. Examples would be Escaflowne, Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, etc.

Best Shows Evar
1. Hajime no Ippo
2. Naruto
3. FLCL
4. Cowboy Bebop
5. Hikaru no Go

Best Movies Evar
1. Ninja Scroll
2. Ghost in the Shell
3. Akira
4. Macross Plus
5. Ghibli Sheeit

hahaha, why dont you just add La Blue Girl and Fiend of the Overlord to the end of your list... hahaha.... those make a world a funnier place....

oh yeah, One Piece is very entertaining as well, but Midori no Hibi is funny as hell....... imagine having your right hand as a girlfriend.... hahaha.. oh wait..... I think we ALL can relate...... LOL :jerkit:
