I was very disappointed by Evangelion; no idea why. Normally, anything from Gainax is just great (Gunbusters being my favourite), but I just didn't like Evangelion. Possibly because I saw it just after another series with exactly the same plot...
Anyway: my favourite overall is Urusei Yatsura. If there were as many episodes of Cowboy Bebop that might have made it, but it's great despite the fewness of the episodes.
I don't know about them americans, but here in Ireland I used the internet - the provider of all that is good - to order the DVDs. There's a box set which also contains a CD of the excellent soundtrack.
wow theres a lot i like.... hmmm vampire hunter D was good, akira, magic knight rayearth, neon genesis evangelion, and probably ranma 1/2, oh and OH my goddess
I mostly get the Manga comics. They last forever and they have no chane of getting recorded over. This is the comics I have:
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Black Magic
You're under arrest!
Vampire princess Miyu
Cardcaptors
Sailor Moon
Oh My Goddess
Dirty Pair
Ranma 1/2
Dragonball
Dragonball Z
I'd have to say mine are Cowboy Bepob and Outlaw Star, both are shown on CNX. Cartoon Networks new Anime/Manga only channel. It's great they show loads of series like Tenchi Myuo and Gundamn Wing, both of which I like but never seem to get round to viewing.
I also liked Ghost in the Shell, but I still get confused with the plot of that one!
