Yeah, that was my number one anime for a long time. It was the first real anime I ever watched actually.
1. Fullmetal Alchemist
You really think FMA is better than DN?
2. Death Note
I've seen a few eps of that, it looks pretty promising.
3. Fullmetal Panic
I actually have that but haven't watched it yet, you reminded me actually, I might watch that.
4. Inuyasha
I definitely want to get that anime next, another good pick.
5. Hellsing
Seems like it may be ok, it's now on my list.
6. School days
Never heard of Appleseed, but it must be decent if first on your list. There's a lot there I haven't heard of actually (probably because I tend to prefer series). Spirited Away is good, I saw that so long ago I can hardly remember it, but I know it was a classic.
Appleseed 1 and 2
Howl's Moving Castle
Final Fantasy-Spirits Within and Advent Children
Vexille
Laputa-Castle in the Sky
Ponyo
Spirited Away
And i do love Ghost in the Shell series and the Age of Innocence movie.
Resident Evil Degeneration
I've seen all the current eng dub releases of Bleach, but I guess I'm more of a Bleach guy, never did really get into Naruto but I might give it a try again...one day.
You should also try the 2 big ones... naruto and bleach are great storywise.
I can't be bothered reading...are manga's really worth it?
If you're into the anime, the manga versions will rarely dissapoint..

Thanks.
Nice choices OP, love them all
Yes, I completely agree with you on every level and understand where you are coming from. It would be first on my list but Death Note is just so "clever" and well made that it technically comes before it, but if we are judging by the quality of the message and emotion contained in the story - Gurren Lagann comes out on top IMO. Another really good (and philosophical anime) I forgot to mention is:
My personal favorite will always be Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It changed my life in fact. I loved the show for it's amazingly inspirational message, and just how all those subtle little things meant so much if you really paid attention
---
I've honestly learned more about the kind of person I've wanted to be from that show than anything else, as creepy as that may sound
Other loves of mine:
FLCL
Gintama (Funniest Anime in my opinion )
Fullmetal Alchemist (I'm kind of weird 'cause I like the first one better)
Death Note
Paranoia Agent
Yes, I've actually noticed a whole bunch of manga that looks really really good, and none of it is made into an anime, kind of sucks. I guess I'll give some manga a try.
Manga's add to the story with more detail. Think of it as writting a book and then doing a movie based on the book. Thats how you should view Manga. Also most anime is derived from manga, Naruto and bleach get tons of crap-fillers because the manga needs time to get a headstart before the anime can continue.. The best manga's I've read are never made into anime. There seems to be a huge difference in what the japanese people like best as opposed to western lands.
Ok, you've convinced me. Is it released in English?
For a good manga I'd try Psyren first. Loved it, and if you're willing to bite trough the first few chapters you wont be able to stop
Haha, that's what they all say.
BTW Naruto beats bleach universe.. Way more story way more character development. IMO anyway

Welcome to the NHK!.
That would actually be in my top 10 but I forgot to mention it. Take a look if you haven't seen it.
Other loves of mine:
FLCL
Gintama (Funniest Anime in my opinion )
Fullmetal Alchemist (I'm kind of weird 'cause I like the first one better)
Death Note
Paranoia Agent
Yeah, I actually tend to like the first one better for some reason, but I haven't seen all of the second one so I can't really say. Also, what is FLCL?
EDIT: And the reason GANTZ and NGE come before TTGL is sort of hard to explain. They are are both extremely gory and intense animes but also extremely philosophical and mind bending.
EDIT: And another thing, Gintama isn't eng dubbed is it?
edit on 14-2-2011 by WhizPhiz because: spelling
I have a feeling you will like it. It's pretty funny.
I have always wanted to see Welcome to NHK, thanks for reminding me actually!
There's one word to describe Gantz: epic. Well, epic and gory as hell. It's not an overly long series but it builds up really well and has so many dramatic scenes. At first it seems quite silly, but trust me, it gets so good.
And NGE was my favorite anime when I first watched it. I haven't seen Gantz but I'll definetly check it out.
Damn, I didn't think it was. It's like one of the best rated animes of all time but they haven't dubbed it! Grrr, oh well, I have to see it, subbed version it is.
And nah, Gintama isn't English dubbed sadly, but the sub is really good. You should check it out, it gets reaaaaallly good after the first 10 episodes, it has some of the greatest jokes I've ever heard
