noir, i've seen that/own the box set, it is a great story, i've also seen madlax, though didn't like this one near as much as noir.
all time favorite anime would be: my neighbor totoro
others i rate high are:
speed grapher
basilisk
7 samurai
death note (currently watching this one, very good series, i'm upto episode 9)
fullmetal alchemist
ergo proxy
magical shopping arcade abenbashi
& gundam wing, don't like any of the other series with big robots though this was right up my alley. I watched it like 3 times.
and there's all the classics like:
Ninja Scroll, Cowboy Bebop, Vampire Hunter D, Hellsing (& now Hellsing Ultimate) Ghost In The Shell, Akira, wicked city,
i seen millennium actress in the store though wasn't sure what it would be like, will have to view it now i see it mentioned above.
I was recommended on the cbs forum by other robot's to check out:
neia under 7 - I have recently seen that and was a great watch, not much of a story, but still a good watch.
Cyber City Oedo 808 - 3 mini moves, kinda make into one long movie
black lagoon was released this year, series 1 (13episodes) and we're upto disc 2 on series 2.
Batman series is released next year here in australia so i read on the last email from madman
Also recently got 2 of the lupin movies, they are great.
Also got the 2 Golgo 13 movies. i recommend them if not seen. esp the first.
I am more familiar with what being released these days than what was around in the 80s.
Currently watching Mushi Shi, (series) great stories and kinda similar animation to studio ghibli at some
