I just watched the first disc of Samurai Champloo over the weekend and I have to say, if you like Samurai X (Kenshin) and/or Cowboy Bebop, snag this up. Excellent thus far!!!

Ghost in the Shell is similar to Witch Hunter Robin in the "Political Thriller with Violence" sort of way. You may also want to try Armitage, it's less political, but has the same "cops chasing criminals" aspect.. with a romance plot.TollhouseFrank said:guys.... you all are MUCH more into Anime than me, even though I enjoy it a lot.

Try sticking to OAVs / OVAs... they're a short number of episodes (usually less than 6), that complete a whole lot of plot. Try FLCL, for example. A lot happens in 6 OAV episodes.. TV series tend to sag in the middle, especially if you are watching a fighting anime (I can't stand most of them, they spend 99% of the time talking or yelling at eachother (with the vast majority of it not advancing plot any), and 1% of the time fighting. Especially the ones where a single enemy can take several episodes to defeat.)FudgeNuggets said:I find that a lot of Anime just moves at too slow of a pace for me. REALLY popular stuff like DBZ and Initial-D take like 4-5 episodes for something even remotely interesting to happen. They spend the first half of each episode rehashing what happened over the last 20 episodes too and I'm like JFC FFC just do SOMETHING already!!!!
All GITS is decent, it helps a bit if you watch it chronologically (although you don't lose much if you don't, just a bit of character development):zonama™ said:One more vote for ghost in the shell, though I think su root's referring to GITS: Stand Alone Complex. The series of GITS, not the movies.
