neon genesis evangelion was like my first non-psychedelic mystical experiance, and probably as a result one of the more formative experiences in my life.
the key is to watch it straight through late at night.
upon re-watching i realize that you have to be willing to accept the exaggerated nature of the psychological parts of the show.
when the live action evangelion movie comes out i'm going to have to camp outside the theater for a month... if they ruin it i'll be heartbroken.

I seriously think Evangelion has completely affected my way of thinking
I saw it when I was way too young and impressionable

Dude - clarify. This is interesting. I think I know what you speak of. It's called mescaline - it's the only way to fly

So yes, NGE is a must, as mentioned. Watch eps 1-26, straight thru or over 2 days if possible. The ending will suck, and leave you in a 'wtf' state. This is why they made the 2nd movie 'End of Evangelion' which effectively 'replaces' eps 25 and 26 for a more 'formal' ending. So the 2nd movie starts off where 24 leaves you off. Dont bother much with the 1st movie. It's ass, altho still something to consider if you got into the series.
FLCL (Fooly Cooly/Furi Kuri) is a must. Total mind fuck, in a happy/action LSD trip kinda way.
Lain = Shroom trip in a bad trip sorta way. Leaves a 'dark' impression. Interesting tho.
Tekkonkinkreet = wtf movie. You dont watch this for the 'art' you watch this for the mindfuck. I just saw it, and it's so amazing. You'll be glad you saw it. http://sonypictures.com/homevideo/tekkonkinkreet/ trailer!
Any Miyazaki film of course (or Studio Ghibli). Some of them are a bit childish, but still good, and always unique.
Steamboy (animated really well)
and some more i can't think of.

Epic you want? Try heroic age, whole thing just screams epic. Not like gundam epic (it is mecha tho), but philosophically driven and unique, fate of humanity/universe in their hands epic. Amazing show.
Besides that I would also recommend ergo proxy and paprika.
As far as mystical type stuff, I think everyone on here would like mushishi. its about this ultra basic life form/fungus that infects people and gives all sorts of different strange supernatural side effects and this wandering doctor helps them. The animation/scenery/music create the perfect atmosphere and it's defiantly a slower, more mature oriented anime.
O and gurren langen is great! i'm catching up on that one.

the reason you haven't heard of it is because it's fairly new. in fact, the first season just ended last week. there are rumours of a second season in the making, but i don't know how true they are. we'll see eventually i guess.
The_Ghost: i totally mentioned Serial Experiments Lain.
also, for all you people watching DUBBED anime ... you guys are totally missing out. so much is lost in translation from original japanese to gay ass english.
watch that shit SUBBED, damnit! subtitles are so much better, it's the way it was made and the way it should be watched.

picked up steamboy and cowboy bebop today. steamboy was visually stunning but virtually everything else was pretty unremarkable. cowboy bebop was well, action packed and kickass - can't wait to watch some more.

Yeah, subs are the way to go. It's pretty amazing how much of a difference it makes.

Ah shit, how could i forget Mushi-shi! Yeah, that is an awesome anime to chill out to. Honestly, if you need to watch something before bed, or if you're angry and need something to relax your mind and change the subjects floating around in there, mushishi is it. ANBU made some great subs of that title, download it from them. AonE also did it well, but anbu's is better quality. Beautiful art, and it's very deep. 26 eps total i think.
Subs are a must in anime. I know a lot of people hate subs, but once you get used to them, they become second nature. I had a friend who was just like that. The only time DUBS should be trusted, is when the company importing it has enough money to afford quality (read: profesional) voice actors. This is usualy limited to anime movies, since shows would be too long/expensive to hire big names. A good example is any Miyazaki film. You'll recognize some famous voices instantly when you watch Princess Mononoke.

i've only ever seen 4 anime series that have been properly dubbed, and i've seen a fuckton of anime.
they are as follows:
Cowboy Bebop Trigun Fullmetal Alchemist FLCL
those are the ONLY 4 that i will watch dubbed (although i will also watch them subbed), everything else MUST be subtitled or i won't watch it.
my friend hates reading the subtitles but wants to watch anime and wants me to watch the dubs with her. i tell her to fuck off and she can find her own anime to watch because i absolutely REFUSE to watch any anime (other than the 4 listed above) dubbed.

So I just started watching Tengen Toppa thanks to this thread, and I have to say that I am glad it was mentioned. I've been needing a fix for a while...
