I've been watching a lot of Anime, courtesy of Netflix.
Just finished the Generator Gawl series. Very good. Basically, three young men come from the future to try and stave off a devestating world war and the total domination of the world after that by one corporation. 'Generators' are people with a core of hyperenergized cells that let them manifest a powerful exoskeleton, usually something totally monsterous and inhuman. They are the war machines of that future age.
Knight Hunters disc 2. Got this one very quickly after I found the first one they sent me was unplayable. I'm enjoying the series so far, but I can see how it gets such mized reviews at Animeondvd.com. Either people love it or hate it. Some episodes can be watched independently, some are linked into the metaplot.
Four young men run a flower shop in Tokyo. This is a cover for them being assassins of a unique stripe. They are contacted by the mysterious Manx, who works for Persia, a man they only see in shadows on a TV screen; Persia gives them an assignment (usually to kill one or more people; and so far, these people really deserve killing. People like the cop, judge and government official who like to hunt people on their private reserve, or the organleggers, etc etc) and they can accept or decline individually. An additional 'hook' is that each of the Hunters has a pretty dark past that occassionally has something to do with a current mission.
Lain #2. This series continues to get better and better.
In my queue right now: s-Cry-ed, Blue Gender, Blue Seed, Sorcerer on the Rocks, and Phantom Quest Corps. Plus some Black Adder to round things out.
