(and i like slow when its done right,really) vampire hunter d: watched it when i was younger, turned it offghost in the shell: disliked it.princess mononoke: pretty to look at, more japanese strangeness. spirited away: yikes. what is with the strangeness? its not even good strangeness like most of the Vertigo comic books. is something getting lost in translation?ninja scroll: ok, but not as good as a bad american action movielodoss war: watched some of it, liked it, but its sooo slow and plodding and filled with those strange japanese tendencies of plot-wandering. will eventually sit down and watch it all.trigun: watched the whole series. ranged from watchable to ok, to slightly good, but it really was all over the place.lain: really loved the look and mood of this series. unfortunately, it NEVER decided to make any sense. still really nice to watch thoughthose who hunt elves: watched the first episode on a suggestion from Wizard magazine of all places. thought it wasnt half as funny as it should/could have been. didnt bother continuingthe gf really likes: fushigi yugi, fruits basket, slayers. full metal alchemist, and one or two others im forgetting.i read the first two translated tpbs of fruits basket and thought that it showed potential for a second, and then quickly devolved into a repetitious cutesy book. i've heard nothing but good things about bezerk, but heard the manga is better because they messed up the ending of the anime.  i have the first disk in my netflix queue anyway. so heres my question: whats the most american anime? thats the one i need to watch.</blockquote>
