One anime movie I'd love to finish seeing one day is Akira.
Anime's been an interesting thing for me to watch. I like both the classic (post-Astro Boy; haven't really seen an episode yet) and modern-day anime, though I tend to feel more "at home" watching anime from the 90s, as that's really the era that the meat of my childhood took place in. I personally think all the cartoons that involved *** or Andy Heyward, were anime-styled cartoons, or had anime-like elements;In my opinion, this would include Heathcliff, Inspector Gadget; ***'s Archie's Weird Mysteries may be seen as "debatable" by some, but I think it's just as anime-like as other well-known *** gems.
It's really amazing these days how it seems anime-elements are becoming mainstream in Western animation.
One video game I think needs its own anime is Alundra. Loved the FMVs

Bubzool, when you talk about the 90's anime of your childhood, I can't help but think about the good ol' days when Cartoon Network had Toonami on every weekday afternoon. I loved watching Dragonball and DBZ back then. But they did have 3 series that are still among my favorite series to this day - Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin and G Gundam. Years later went back and saw the unedited versions of all of these; and was amazed that they were able to make kids shows out of them, lol. Even though they took out the language and blood, a lot of the themes and stories in those old shows were more mature than some of the things that have been on adult swim.

^Aint it the truth, just goes to show how big the divide between what is considered appropriate for children is between east and west, and just how much sanitation is required to make a typical anime into children-friendly programming. Looking back as an adult on the programs I enjoyed as a child, I was amazed at just how many of the themes present would cause controversy among western parents (especially in those days, when public moral standard in relation to media was typically higher).

Try Youtube or watchanimeon, i usually try those first. Then try animefreak if none of em have it. Status: "Retired" From RuneScape. May come back to get 99 Slayer in 1 or 2 years.

Code Geass is the best anime hands down.
No matter what you like, it has something. The story is beyond compelling, and both the Japanese and English dubs are extremely well down.
Everyone should watch this anime. It's only 52 episodes unlike most of the mainstream anime that are several hundred.
