    Re: Can Anyone Recommend A New Anime?
    Pretty much everything I'd suggest has already been mentioned.

    But for the record the Pokemon anime is like the video game and not the card game. Cards aren't involved at all. :)

    Already been suggested, but here's a nice SHORT list of ones I have greatly enjoyed.

    Afro Samurai
    Cowboy Bebop (my absolute favorite of all time)
    Samurai Champloo

    I have watched so much anime in the last few months it's nuts!

    What I hate though is that most modern anime is only like 12-24 episodes long! And most of them have open endings or don't even really end. They just stop. Are there any modern Inuyahsa, Ranma, or DBZ length shows?

    Let's see if I can remember all I've seen.

    Kampher - Kinda like Ranma but not. Lots of cliche stuff and things that don't make sense. Yet I wish they'd make more of it. Kind of a guilty pleasure.

    Baka and Test - This is my absolute guilty pleasure. I really shouldn't like it. But I love it! Can't wait till someone subs season 3.

    Cheeky Angel - Well, I tried. It got old fast. Even though I can see there are about 50 episodes or so. I just couldn't get into it past about 20 episodes.

    Otoboku - Of the same vein as Cheeky Angel but shorter and with better story and character development.

    Shikabane Hime - Love it! Want more!

    Fruits Basket - Growing on me. Seen a few episodes. But not something I can watch in a marathon.

    Kaze No Stigma - Enjoyed it. Wish there was more.

    Kashimashi - I don't know why I liked it. But I did. It's totally absurd.

    Princess Princess - So i started watching it thinking it would be Ranma-esqe. Well it's not. Just don't. Don't go there.

    Clannad After Story - OK so I really didn't watch it. My wife watched it and I was just there. It's like the most depressing cartoon ever. It literally made Chanin cry at one point. Not my cup of tea. It was too realistic. I don't mind realistic animation but I like to have at least some element of scifi or fantasy woven in.

    Elfen Lied - By far the most graphic anime...ever. From what I understand it was a straight to DVD release in Japan because it couldn't be aired on TV. Full of gratuitous violence and nudity. And topics so dark you can't believe they went there. Still though, it is very good. Gotta be a bit open minded and strong stomached though. My biggest gripe was it didn't know what it wanted to be. It would go from horror fest to slap stick comedy with a snap of them fingers.

    Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple - I understand the manga keeps going past the anime. I hope they'll eventually make more. I loved this show!

    To Love RU - I am currently watching this. It is like a mix of various anime in one. I guess you could say it's a Scifi Romantic Comedy.

    Honestly, I am kinda surprised at what I ended up actually liking. Especially the ones with pretty much no action in them.
