There is a classic that everyone (I think) should see called Heavy Metal. You should be able to find it at a decent video store.

A few off the top of my head..

Ninja Scroll
Wrath of the Ninja
Akira (Original not the re-release)
Princess Mononoke
Fist of the North Star
Wolf Brigade
Samurai Champloo

Melody of Oblivion (Sci-fi/mystery/action)

Samurai Champloo (Lot of action, blood, killing. Decent plot I guess.)

Akira (Must watch. Action.)

Wolf's Rain (Sci-fi/mystery/action)

Madlax (Sci-fi/mystery/action)

Last Exile (Fantasy/sci-fi)

Fooly Cooly (Comedy)

Air (Tragedy)

Scrapped Princess (Fantasy/sci-fi)

Yakitate! Japan (Comedy, bread baking...)

Monster (Mystery, murder)

Hellsing (Vampires)

Read or Die (TV and Movie versions, very original IMO, only watched this recently.)

Just a few of the better ones I can think of.

Then you have the classic generic shonen action stuff like:

Inuyasha
Naruto
Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT
Bleach
Shaman King
One Piece
Hunter x Hunter
Kenshin

and as far as Heavy Metal goes, defenitely something anyone would enjoy. Whoever made that was doing some serious drugs. Same goes for FLCL

:

Check out www.animesuki.com if you want to see some new stuff. They also have a recommendations section where there are people far geekier than me who can probably provide some better choices.

If you want to watch the MOST politically incorrect anime, check out Ping Pong Club.

Ha, for me the best anime has been and always will be "Escaflowne" I don't think its childish in the least bit its more of a serious anime with a very likable and intresting plot ITS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!

I also saw some Naruto the thing I find is that its like Dragon Ball Z kinda, they're fight scense last for like 10 episodes...and also they don' thave enough fighting..lol!

ROFLMGDAO!!!!

about 15 years ago, i introduced my older daughter to anime by buying her the original Akira (which, btw, i don't much like, myself). the contagion spread to my younger daughter and my house is DROWNING in the stuff.

both girls are *superb* artists in the genre. my older daughter has fandubbed Revolutionary Girl Utena, as well as a couple of Sailor Moon episodes. currently, she's part of the team developing Lingerie Soldier Papillon Rose for the western market.

personally, i like Kingdom in the Sky much more than Princess Mononoke - i also love Kiki's Delivery Service and okay, i'll admit it, i like FAKE, too, which is kinda like confessing to enjoying harlequin books or britney spears' music. my absolute away favourite is Spirited Away.
