Just this week I decided to see what the big anime craze is all about so I watched Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Well, they were really great !!! Anyways, I want to know what else to watch. I really don’t know anything about anime and would appreciate some recommendations from any anime fans out there. Thanks! 
I’m not a huge anime fan by any means, though you can’t really go wrong with Miyazaki. As well as his two that you’ve seen there’s also Kiki’s Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro, Porco Rosso, and a few others.
I suppose the big anime classic is Akira, which is over fifteen years old but still fantastic, despite the near-incomprehensible ending.
And Ghost in the Shell is great too, though equally incomprehensible.
Mmm, Wings of the Honneamise is pretty decent and I hear Grave of the Fireflies is good too.
I’m sure there are plenty of obsessive fans who can fill you in on quality TV stuff.
These are some good anime movies: Ninja Scroll (highly bloody medieval Japan demons anime WITH PLOT!) also Spriggan (highly bloody modern day action fest with no plot)
And ofcourse Akira.
I quite liked Appleseed. Haven’t seen anything else apart from DBZ and Sailor Moon, which I both now hate.
Ok…there are too many to say so I’ll tell you my faves, and then go from there lol!
Gundam Wing,
Naruto
Cowboy Be-Bop
Outlaw Star
Evangelion
Bubblegum Crisis
Orguss (02)
Landlock
Invader Lum (for funniness)
Final Fantasy Unlimited
Aww, Totoro was so cute 
One of my fave movies when I was little… haven’t watched it for a while though.
Some of my favorites:
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Rouroni Kenshin
and DBZ (not so much anymore tho)
Search online to see if any of them play at any times in your area, or if you are really interested, try to rent them from a video store, or something else to check them out. You can usually get the whole series of an shows for really cheap on eBay, I got my Cowboy Bebop series for like 15 dollars I think.
yu-Gi-Oh (yugioh.com/) is a story about a boy endowed with an ancient spirit who plays a card game with his friends based on an ancient egyptian sport called ‘the shadow game’. the original version was in japanese and was quite dark. 4kids got hold of it and cut it up, added an english dub and made it quite kiddy-friendly and not so dark - both versions are available on dvd, depending on where in the world / what region dvd player you have of course. yu-gi-oh is good because it’s bright enough to be funny but there is strategy and good plot so it doesn’t get boring. a card game was also made as a spin-off from the tv show.
sailor moon is another anime cartoon, this time more ‘brainless’ but still quite fun. the japanese original version was made in three different series from what i understand - ‘sailor moon’, ‘sailor moon s’ and ‘sailor moon super s’. madman entertainment (animatedbliss.com/news.asp?TID=861
so, those are my two recommendations! also, if you want to learn to draw anime, or discuss it with others, try
anipike.com/ (forum and online gallery of site member’s art)
omu.kuiki.net/ (online manga university and forum; free tutorials)
polykarbon.com/ (manga tutorials and photoshop stuff)
have phung!! 
yeah bi-shoujo Sailor Moon (pretty girl sailor moon) was good
I used to HATE manga, anime, and everything related…
then I went to cinema I saw Miyazaki’s Spirited Away… it changed everything…
Now I saw Miyazaki’s Mononoke and Castle in the Sky and I want more! they’re all SO great!
Evangelion was cool!
Trigun was the most emotional (near the end…))
and those are the only two i can really recommend… since I haven’t seen that many. But yu-gi-oh, come on, that shows on kids-wb every day and is JUST LIKE POKEMON.
Oh yeah I also liked Nadia: The Secret Of Blue Water a bit. Did anyone watch that .hack//liminality that came with the game? I’ve only got part one…
Yeah…but with a couple sexy characters. No interesting stuff. But a couple o sexy guys!
vampire hunter D: bloodlust is pretty good
anyone seen the ninja scroll series? any good?
The ninja scroll series is good according to reviews.
Check out the anime “Bastard” for a good action movie, it has a little bit of nudity and some cursing though, nevertheless it’s the entire series(6 episodes) on one disc.
Ranma 1/2 is an ultimately good anime, and a great one to start with. I also suggest any Rumiko Takahashi animes, Trigun, and for mangas I suggest Samurai Deeper Kyo and Getbackers. And I hear Real Bout High School and Ragnarok are good.
But still- Watch Ranma.
Here is a list that I like:
Macross (Any Of Them)
Ghost in the Shell
Akira
Cowboy Bebop The Movie
X
My favorite of them is definitly Akira. But X and Macross are really good also.
I looked up at the others and I forgot all about Vampire D. That is a good one.
FLCL and Rahxephon are great
Miyazaki = goodness and light
I like Akira. Record of Loddos War is really good… specially if you like fantasy over science fiction.
Ninja Scroll, Blood, Demon City, Ghost in the Shell (not an incomprehensible ending… the one cyborg and the program inhabit the new body… a melding of both parents attributes, creating the birth of a new type of child)
Ive seen more than that but I can’t think right now. Miyazaki is definitely wonderous though. You may not find anything you find to be of that caliber. I know I don’t. I think he tells a fantastic story. You should read his Manga series “Nausicaa: Valley of the wind.”
i can’t believe Love Hina hasn’t been mentioned yet…
also, Yumeria is a must for any lucid dreamer. it is only 12 eps, but worth every second. The plot is basically a dream world, that a 16 yr old guy and 5 girls end up in, where they have to kill some evil entity, called Faydoom. it is a definate must see.
i also recommend:
Mahoromatic
Full metal alchemist
Trigun
