Frankly, I really can't stand anime, with the exception of a very few, namely Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. I usually find the plots contrived and cliched. It's too much giant robots, neo-post apocalyptic Tokyo, what is a soul, blah blah blah, etc, kind of rubbish.
I once took a Japanese culture class when I was in college, and the teaching professor made it a distinct point to say that there would be NO discussion of anime in the class, even referring to the animation fans as "Japanimation freaks." It was pretty funny, and one guy actually got up and left class, never to return.
Honestly, I don't get what the big deal is with anime.

You have Lupin and Big O but no Bebop, Trigun, Inu Yasha, Ranma 1/2, Vandred,Evangelion, Lain, FLCL anything Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Mononke, Castle in the sky) and about 40 other really good series that I don't have the time to list.
Kind of a closed perseption of anime, rent some movies get your hands on some fansubs.
Hmmm, My favorite series... I loved Eva and FLCL, Crest of the Stars, and anything by Miyazaki (movie= Castle in the Sky, Manga= Nausicaa)
Australian Guy, all of those choices are Anime, they were made in Japan for a Japanese audience (well it depends what Megaman series you are talking about, there is a newer Rockman series out now but I haven't heard anything about it)
