    Just wondering can I get some recommendations for some good anime to watch. I've seen a few, liked some, found others very boring.

    Liked;
    Neon Genesis Evangelion
    Elfen Lied
    Princess Mononoke
    Spirited Away

    Didn't like;
    Rurouni Kenshin
    Naruto

    Alright;
    Akira
    Ghost In The Shell
    Howl's Moving Castle


    So based on these could some people make some recommendations? Thanks.

    dubit10, just wondering why you are replying "ok," since you didn't start this thread?

    that aside, there seems to be one of these threads every 5/6 weeks and the same stuff is mentioned every time, i know i am guilty of starting one (although that was for series that were currently showing in japan.)
    should there be a sticky for this maybe?

    Yeah, I was thinking there should be some sort of recommendations thread, with movies/series sorted under what genre they are and maybe a "for fans of..." thing.

    Cowboy bebop is great, 3x3 eys is also a classic, Full metal alchemist is good, both the Vampire hunter D movies also good, if ye want something mental try Excel saga.

    Samurai Champloo is excellent. Im old school so I love the likes of Lensman, fist of the North star(movie not series), Odin, Venus Wars (absolutely brillant one of the best anime movies ever made in my opinion).

    Perfect Blue. Ghost in the shell Stand alone complex this series is also brilliant follows the manga very well for most of the series (most folk call it G.I.T.S. S.A.C)
