I prefer the Prince Of Tennis manga
Ouran High School Host Club (Since it isn't released here yet)

And I have to add Tsubasa to my list, I love that show!!!

I'm not that much into anime, but I am a fan of Miyazaki. I have MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, PRINCESS MONONOKE and SPIRITED AWAY in my DVD collection. And if I see KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE on sale for really cheap, I think I might pick it up as well.

Kinda thought HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE was a bit of a disappointment, but I'll be first in line to see his next film.

Never been into the whole Anime thing but I've just started to watch...

Afro Samurai, possibly the greatest Anime ever made, come on what gets better than Samuel L. Jackson and Ron Perlman doing the voice acting!

Three words - Space Battleship Yamato.

Or 'Star Blazers' to the English-speaking audience. If you're into sci-fi and anime, this show is utopia.

I can vividly remember my sister and me, at the respective ages of eight and four, making haste home from school and arriving barely in time to plop down and watch the Star Force pwn teh Gamilons.

Anime can be hard to come by in Canada, so my list includes most of what I've seen. My favourites include InuYasha & Naruto (I sympathize with both the leads; I have InuYasha's tendency to fall in love with the worst possible person at the worst possible time, and the way Naruto feels about being Hokage is the same way I feel about being a writer).

Evangelion
Fullmetal Alchemist
Gundam Seed and GS Destiny, which I'm still watching (on YTV)
Eureka 7 (still watching)
Last Exile (still watching)
Read or Die (OVA)
Read or Dream (TV series)
Appleseed (the remake, not the original)
Banner of the Stars I & II/Crest of the Stars
éX-Driver
Yukikaze
Witch Hunter Robin
Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex (I'm waiting for 2nd Gig to go down in price before buying it and Solid-State Society)

(I have my eye on Blue Sub #6 and Gunslinger Girls as my next purchases, and I'm tracking down Samurai 7 and Dai-Guard DVDs one by one [since I started collecting individual DVDs, not realizing they they were ongoing series].)

(Oh, and Robotech gets an honourable mention, even though it's not actually "anime" [it's three animes, stitched together into a completely different American series], and I'm more a fan of the novels anyway.)

As for Manga, it's hard for me to get into, since I don't tend to find out what's cool until there're at least 10 issues out, and I can never find 'em all.

The ones I've been following from the beginning are:
Evangelion
Evangelion: Angelic Days
Shaman King
My Dead Ex-Girlfriend (endorsed by Joss himself!)
Van Von Hunter

The last two are English-language "American Manga," but they still count, IMHO, 'cause they're sold as manga.

Samurai 7 was good, and Gunslinger Girls is really good yet kinda depressing.

I loved Chrono Crusade and Noein is some good sci-fi.

I'm still working on This Ugly Yet Beautiful World and Mushi-shi.

And I love The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya!!!

I saw one-and-a-half episodes of Haruhi (at FanExpo; they were late starting, so I had to skip out midway through to get to another panel), and instantly joined the Haruhi cult.

I'm waiting for the box set, though, to avoid having to wait for the inevitable "next" disk to come out.

Cowboy Bebop and Trigun are really the only two anime's I've enjoyed.

Robotech on Saturday mornings when I was eleven, Voices of a Distant Star was an awesome one shot, Samurai 7 was a pretty good interpretation of the Kurosawa piece, Samurai Champloo (from the first seven episodes I saw) rocked ass, Inuyasha was quite involved but I'd love to see the whole series and movies, but personally and above all for me is Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X.

Cowboy Bebop (almost manditory for a Browncoat!)

Fullmetal Alchemist (Winry Rockbell is my other favorite Female mechanic!)

Ghost in the Shell (I've been known to quote the Major, and those Tachikomas(?) are really cute, for robotic killing machines! Have to arrange a little playtime with River 8-)

Bleach (Ichigo Kurasaki reminds me of some other stupidly heroic, blindly idealistic trouble-maker, but I can't seem to remember his name...)

Eureka 7 ('River' becomes a cute, but weird, mecha pilot, and 'Simon' morphs into a clueless mechanic. This version of 'Fly really makes them suits nervous 8-)

Samurai Champloo
Noein

Black Lagoon ('Simon' is a kidnapped Nipponski salaryman, who later joins the crew, 'Jayne' has, err, vast tracks of land... 'Wash' is a computer geek who once managed to piss off the Mob and the FBI at the same time. Their Captain is Mal, Book, and Zoe, all in one. Alright, I've carried this too far...)

Picked up Volume 1 of Pumpkin Scissors today, gotta go watch it.

Also Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Porco Rosso, which are movies, why I didn't think of them, I guess. And Patlabor: The Movie (or, as I personally refer to it, 'How I got over it and learned to love the giant robot suit genre!' 8-).

Micheal Keaton is the voice-actor for Porco, and he does it very much like Bogart in Casablanca. A beautiful modern fable.

Princess Mononoke is probably my favorite anime movie, ever. The hero never ever comes off as 'posing', and the bad guys, and girls, too, are not irredeemably evil. Greedy, and dreaming of personal power ("The very thing to rule the world!"), but they look after their own people, first and last.

Anyone ever see a horror called the adventures of Unico? I think that piece of (whatever the chinese phrase is that Kaylee says, mind blank right now) ruined any possiblity of enjoying it for me. However, I have seen and enjoyed Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Robotech, and some other one that I can't remember now(it was late, I was sleepy, it was on G4, or maybe SciFi). I liked it, just can't remember. Can someone get the cortical electrodes?

*Edit: it was Patlabor, re-read a post above me and it clicked. I think it was the 3rd movie.

I love all the Gundam series. (Except for the piece of crap known as SD Gundam)

I still need to finish Basilisk and Full Metal Panic!: TSR.

And I am now addicted to Hikaru No Go.

And I am hoping and praying they don't butcher Naruto Shippuden like they did Naruto.

Wow..I haven't collected Anime in almost 15 years but here are a few of my fav titles.

Probably one of my all time favorites:

Other top favs:
Appleseed (the original, not the remake :D )
Raven Tengu Kabuto
Venus Wars
5 Star Stories
Castle Cagliostro
Bubble Gum Crisis
Ranma 1/2

Oh yeah and I've seen only 2 episodes of Trigun but really enjoyed it, and Inuyasha isn't too bad either :)

If we can include Manga about all I've read, and loved, was Lone Wolf and Cub.

As for Windaria and Black Magic, I've both. Windaria was.. eh I liked but it wasn't stellar, IMO, as for Black Magic I only watched it once. I'd have to dig it back out :)

Yeah, those were the days! Back when most of what you saw was still in Japanese. Good times, good times....

Okay, I was stretching it with M-66. But I thought Windaria was fantastic! A hero that's a complete loser, great music, pretty animation.... Gotta stay away from the Harmony Gold version, though.

Heard of the all and watched them in our meetings in the 90s at UB. Great shows. Only one we didn't get on Laserdisc was Dragonar, the rest we had on LD and watched regularly. Dragonar unfortunately was a old dub from a fellow in Japan and the quality was not that great.

Others I love:

Orange Road
Bubblegum Crisis (original series)
Crusher Joe
Dragon Heaven (Now has anyone else seen that one?)
Project A-Ko
Too many more to list.

New stuff I am watching:

Yukikaze
Haruhi Suzumiya
Gunslinger Girl

Sadly, I haven't had the chance to watch much anime. I grew up with Yamoto (Battle of the planets) and G-force. I've seen a few great series and movies. I'm surprised that no one has yet mentioned the Classic: Ninja Scroll. Great flick. Vampire Hunter D was another great one. It's been so long I've forgotten the titles of some of the series I watched.

Deepgirl, I vaguely remember Iria (Zeiram?). You can search the web for info on it...

Jadehand, if you like Ninja Scroll, you may want to check out Yotoden (US title Wrath of the Ninja). It's way better, IMHO.

I haven't seen Full Metal Alchamist or Ghost in the Shell, but they're both on my list of things I should watch... some day...

I vaguely remember a series called Armitage III that I really enjoyed. It was the first anime I watched actually. Of course I only ever saw it once and it's been so long I don't know if it would stand up now.

I don't think it counts as anime, but I've got to mention The Mysterious Cities of Gold. Best! Cartoon! Ever!
