Totally forgot about Desert Punk, that one was excellent. Ghost hunt is good if you like creepy paranormal stuff. Samurai 7 and Samurai Deeper Kyo are good ones also.

Here's some of my favorites thus far:
- Highlander: The Search for Vengeance
- A Wind Named Amnesia
- NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind
- Sky Blue (AKA - Wonderful Days)
- Green Legend Ran

Gurren Lagann is a good Post-apocalyptic/Giant robot anime also.

Will check them out. Also, this one isn't an anime (only manga) but check out Vagabond if you ever get the chance. It's about Miyamoto Musashi, so fucking badass.

Yeah, it was actually done by Hayao Miyazaki.

This one is another one of my favorites:
Kaze no Yojimbo (Bodyguard of the Wind). It's based loosely on Akira Kurosawa's samurai film Yojimbo.

Samurai X is cash, as is Fist of the North Star, and I keep forgetting to check out Berserk.
Apart from that I'm actually largely unfamiliar with almost all of the anime posted on this page.
This thread is delivering very nicely. 
Thank you Pub.

I wish they had a whole series on his past, solely for the bad ass side that we never see in Rurouni Kenshin.
Afro Samurai is really gorey but I don't care for it all that much.

Anyone here can get past the whole anime thing should give Serial Experiments Lain a watch. It's such a complete mindfuck. A brief synopsis:
Quote:
In a year not at all far from today, the Internet has taken one step farther into becoming a world of its own; with powerful systems called Navis, everyone from businessmen to kindergartners jumps into the Wired to interact, play games, make friends, and gossip. (Imagine that.) Left out of this is Lain, a reserved junior high school student who has never taken much to the Wired, despite the fact that her father is in the computer business. That begins to change when a classmate of Lain's commits suicide, and a few days later several students--including Lain--receive e-mails from the girl, telling them that she merely left her body, and is still alive and well in the Wired. Slowly, Lain's attitude begins to change, but as she becomes more involved with her Navi, the world around her and her friends become increasingly more unstable. More suicides and bizarre killings happen one after another, and Lain is somehow connected to them... but how?

Afro samurai was mad gorey which I love, but also delivered with a trippy sci-fi feel. Like its sposed to be set in the future, but at the same time its like feudal Japan. I loved that vibe. And you cant go wrong Wit Samuel L Jackson.
And the fact that his sidekick is like an angel on his shoulder is cool. He's not a real person, but Afro's imaginary friend.

Props for giving it a try. It's very slow to build so can easily see not getting past the 1st ep.
Like you said, there's many different types of anime so there's something for everyone. I tend to like the dramas rather than the comedies or fighting shows. Things like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Haibane Renmei, Toward the Terra, and the Twelve Kingdoms. Berserk is an exception though, that show simply rocks. The ending is lacking since it's continued in a manga, but the rest is worth it anyway.
