Don't you folks watch any recent anime, a lot of what's mentioned is many years old, some as old as a decade plus (that doesn't mention it isn't good) ;-)Personally I watch a lot of different genres anime, it kind of depends on my mood. If I was you I wouldn't rule out any anime, just try something, if it doesn't jife with you you can always watch something else. The only real advice I can give you is watch it with the original japanese language track and use subtitles, dubs are the most horrible invention ever (thanks to the darned germans ;-), it can really ruin a fun/good anime.Some thing I haven't seen mentioned before:- Initial-D (street racers)- One Piece (fantasy good guy pirates)- Hajime no Ippo (boxing, a new series has recently started, but watch it from the beginning)- Major (baseball)- Prince of Tennis (tennis)- Capeta (cart racing)- Black Lagoon (badass smugglers in the oceanic region)- Deathnote (serialkiller kid gifted with grim reaper powers)- All the 'Tenchi' series and movies (terran kid gets into space...)I've watched a few hundred series/movies over the last decade, maybe some where better then others, but they amused me at the time. When I watch a series more then once, I REALLY like it. I believe I've watched Initial-D a few times over the last couple of years, and seen Hajime no Ippo twice.A note on series such as Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, these series run for 200+ episodes and tend to be based on mangas (comics). Initially these have a decent tempo (I have the feeling that a lot happens), but eventually the anime catches up to the manga and the anime slows down. A story line that previously was spread over 5 episodes is suddenly spread over 10-20 episodes. That's the reason I stopped watching Naruto after ~250 episodes (but it slowed down long before that), Bleach after ~150, and One Piece after ~350. One Piece I now watch in batches of 10 episodes when I feel an urge, might pick up Naruto en Bleach again to (and watch a 100+ episodes in one go). You might want to try the first couple of dozen episodes of each series...</blockquote>
