The Manga at least has some explicit rape scenes (not sure if they made it into the anime, which I've not seen).Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex and the sequel get hearty recomendations as well. Excellent production values, intelligent plots, great theme music, very cool characters. The original movie by Mamoru Oshi is kind of slow moving and ponderous though.There's the Dirty Pair Movie : Project Eden. Very funny, terrific villain, top notch soundtrack.Project A-ko is hysterically funny. It's even funnier if you can get all the references, but it's not necessary to know them. The sequels suck horribly though.Evangellion is somewhat overrated IMHO. It's not as good as it seems while you're watching it once you get to the end and realize how much it got by on implying things, but never explaining them. The last two episodes are a major WTF? There are two movies (one basically a clip show summary. The second an alternative "ending" of sorts. Though it's still a WTF?) that attempt to "Fix" this.Gundam is a bit iffy as a first series. You might want to sample some of the OVA series first. Gundam 0080 : War in the Pocket is a heartbreaker of a series, but the animation is pretty old and it isn't a very mecha oriented series (which might actually be a plus to some people). Gundam 0083 : Stardust Memory is probably the most accessible series. Good animation, some interesting characters and doesn't require much series knowlege to enjoy. Gundam Wing has a lot of pretty boy characters that seem to be popular with the ladies. It's plotline basically retreads that of the main Gundam timeline though. Char's Counter Attack is the movie that wraps up the main Gundam Timeline story, but it's meaningless without having watched the original series (or at least the three movies that were made to summarize the original series).As far as Macross/Robotech goes. I think the best rendition of Macross (the first series in Robotech) was the AnimEigo release, but that's now a collector's item. ADV's release is probably the second choice.However Macross Plus, is excellent and readily available. It comes in either a movie or a collection of 4 episodes. Both are largely the same. Mostly differing in some events towards the end (especially how one character dies). I have a slight preference for the Movie version, but they're both good.Super Dimension Century Orgus is a series you might like. It's another Tatsunoko production.I couldn't get past the wrestling starships in Outlaw Star. If your camp appreciation is higher you might enjoy it though.Full Metal Alchemist is a very good series (one of my favorites of recent years) and is still showing on the Cartoon Network, though late at night (so you'll probably need a DVR of some sort). But it is available on DVD as well. Don't watch the movie before finishing the series, since it will spoil a number of important plot developments. Great characters and world, an interesting "magic" system, some really shocking plot twists and turns.Bleach is a pretty decent series and again it is currently running on CN. Inuyasha is fairly entertaining CN fare as well.</blockquote>
