I agree Slacky, Bebop has one of the best anime soundtracks. Hell, I'd buy the CD if I had time and the cash.
Stuff I'm Watching at the moment: Nadesico. Chobits. Alchemist.

Quite like Alchemist, Nadesico isn't bad either.

I watched the first episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell:SAC. I know Nurdy likes FMA, but that doesn't mean I'll care for it. After watching those episodes, I've come to this conclusion: there are only 3 major plots to anime.
1. There is a secret para-military force that must deal with an unnatural, sometimes supernatural, enemy. See Evangelion, Hellsing, Witch Hunter: Robin, Ghost in the Shell
2. There is an outlaw who is running from his past. He may or may not remember the details of his former life, but it's usually about a woman. See Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Outlaw Star
3. There is a warrior/ninja in medieval times who fights for his honor above all else. This may intersect with number 2. See Berserk, Kenshien, etc.

Evan: I don't think Alchemist is your cup of tea, I reccomend you watch Blue Sub 6 if you haven't then. Anime in motion, that film. With jazz to compete with Bebop!
Damn, he beat me to the harem type.
5.)If the character is male, he's either a quiet wimp, a typical representation of the Japanese perfect male or a creepy pervert. The male characters female counterparts will have the opposite opinions or personalities to the main characters causing that ever so whacky friction and hate which always obviously leads to sex.
6.)If it's an old man, he's wise/perverted. He also may be hated by his son/grandson for something he did.
7.)Whacking people into the atmosphere is always funny, no matter what person is watching! Especially when repeated 2 billion times in the same series.
8.) If it's made by Gainix, boobs will bounce.
9.) If the series if starting to lag, or it gets incredibly boring always drop the typical swimsuited trip to the beach or a nice relaxing hotspring episode. Remeber to have the pervert, noise bleeds and shrieks of repressed Japanese women sending the latter into the atmosphere or otherwise it isn't gold! If the anime is more PG-13 in nature, throw in a tedious clip show instead.

I think we have an anime clichés thread around here somewhere, evan. Also, I saw the first few episodes of Read or Die: The TV. It has even more implied lesbianism than the movie did. Originally posted by Nurdbot: Anime in motion, that film. Isn't all anime in motion? I mean, 'cause if it wasn't, it would be manga. Seriously though, Nurdy's right. If you haven't seen Blue Sub 6, then you should watch it; and if you have seen it, you should watch it again.

Well if you really want to know how many types of anime there are just watch Excel Saga. They pretty much go through all the types. After all your list does not include. Oddball/weirdo or someone everyone considers to be a goof off turns out to have amazing hidden power and feels they must uses this to prove they exist to the world or are the worlds strongest_whatever_: ala DBZ, Naruto and One Piece Also I just started watchign the second gig of Stand alone complex. I did not think it was possible but so far this one is even more pretty than the 1st gig. I just hope the Laughingman turns up again (not to mention that the music is really good again, well it is Yoko Kanno of Bebop fame)

Has anyone got any opinions on:
Azumanga Daioh Dead Leaves (Yes, I know it's American-style animation done by the Japanese)
I'm probably going to pick up Macross Plus in the sales- any nay-sayers? And after reading the FLCL manga I really have to pick up the series.
I also got Excel Saga Volume 1 a few weeks ago. Wacky, but fun. And Space Butler is coolest name ever!

Wolfs Rain was one the the most beautiful shows I have ever seen. How it all ended when *SPOLERSAHEAD* all the wolves died in very dramatic way....how one character was so uptight and mean but than slowly was okay. And like, it was just really sad!*ENDSPOLIER*

Well, I've been watching the Anime channel and from all the shows there I've been following "Generator Gawl" or something like that. Its full of japanese-people-turning-into-monsters crap, but its fun to waste 30 minutes on.
