I just recently started getting into anime, and I was wondering if you guys could reccomend some good anime? I'm really interested in finding high def anime too. I've got an HD-DVD player and have decided to bite the bullet and go Blu as well, so the format doesn't matter.

Trigun
Bleach
Fullmetal Alchemist
Those are the only ones I still keep up with these days, and I find them to be very good. Trigun is my personal favorite, but its a bit old. I don't know if any of those are in HD though. There are other great Anime out there, but they are only worth reading. The ones I listed, I found to be great to watch.

For the love of god, stay away from the American Naruto episodes. If you can, just read the Manga, or catch the Japanese ones online. The ones on Cartoon Network are getting a tad better, but are still pretty bad.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of my all time series. Not just anime, but in general. It and the movie End of Evangelion are musts. Other fantastic series/movies: FLCL Castle of Cagliostro Spirited Away Princess Mononoke Perfect Blue Cowboy Bebop Death Note Black Lagoon Hellsing Beck FullMetal Alchemist Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind Ghost in the Shell (The movies and series and manga are ALL fantastic) Gantz (if you have a little bit of blood lust and don't mind animated titties) and a more obscure one, Texhnolyze. I'm not an otaku or an elitist, I just know my anime  I like Naruto somewhat, and some of the older members here now of a jacket that I happen to own, but it's really not in by and large that great of a series. If you REALLY want to see it, get the uncut box sets, because they are obviously uncut and they have the original Japanese tracks. I generally just choose the dub over the sub, but Naruto in general is just terribly casted. In terms of HD, not a whole lot exists right now, and most of the bigger companies have gone Blu, so the better shows will pop up there. |

I don't know why people are so high on Cowboy Bebop, it was utterly boring.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll definitely be checking out as many of them as I can. I liked seeing the Ghibli love here as well. That's the studio that got me into anime. For some reason I absolutely hated it until I saw Grave of the Fireflies and POM POKO. After that a friend of mine showed me some Inuyasha (sp?) and I kinda got into that. Now I'm just trying to soak up all the anime that I can.

Yeah, go into FYE and ask about their collection of Hentai. I'm sure La Blue Girl is up somebodies ally. And by ally I mean.....I think you know where I'm going with that.

I didn't mention that, as I thought that was already a given. Dragonball Z is epic. In my opinion, anyway. |

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, but here are some more.
Fist of the North Star (That's hard to find though)
Ninja Scroll
Crying Freeman
Dirty Pair
Detective Boy Conan (Called Case Closed in US)
Here is Greenwood (only ran 6 episodes, but they're great.)
Kinnikuman (MUSCLE) Though Ultimate Muscle is all you're really going to find over here.
And you really can't go wrong with Miyazaki films or Lupin III
