I'm bored and looking for a new anime to buy. Thus far my collection includes:

Initil D full set (all 3 stages)Vampire Hunter D Anniversary EditionVampire Hunter D : BloodlustFLCL Voices of a Distant StarAkira Anniversary EditionSome Naruto Episodes on VCDSamurai X Boxed SetMetropolisJin Roh: The Wolf BrigadeSpirited AwayNinja ScrollWings of Honnemease

A far as my favorite, I have to say that for series it is Naruto. So damn funny. Or mabye Gundam SEED. CGI Mechs own. OVA it HAS to be FLCL. I can watch that all day long (and I usually do) And for movie/short film I am in love with Voices of a Distant Star. I cry every time I watch it...it is just breath taking. (Sounds like a chick, I know) The cool part is that one guy wrote, directed, produced, and animated it himslef. Pretty bad a$$ IMHO. Anyway, list your collection/favs too. I have a Hastings gift card that I need to spend.

Your collection is nearly identical to my own...

Voices from a Distant Star was very impressive for one guy with a G4. Fortunately I heard it's the first OVA in a running series.

Tough to pick a favorite - Wings of Honneamise, Ninja Scroll and Yamato season 2 are probably the top 3. Initial D was good also.

Ninja Scroll is classic haha...one of the first anime movies that I have seen. Um..I have also watched Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Spriggan...those were decent.

As far as SERIES go I watch Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist (both recommended.) Hey Rico if you have a cable connection, you can get the episodes online via Bit Torrent, get the experimental build. You can control the upload speed so your download speed will be at its MAX. Link for anime is http://www.animesuki.com

That would indeed be Jubei.

And I don't care what people say, but Akira wasn't that great.

Haven't found anything funnier yet... and it's a short series too.. only like 10 episodes or soo... :)

Nobody has even mentioned GTO?!?!? C'mon. Great Teacher Onizuka.What a great series!

Not even Mr1der mentioned it which is funny, since I get a mental image of Onizuka everytime I try to picture him.....

Lets see what else hasn't been mentioned? -Macross Plus. -Tenchi Muyo OVA's with new ones on the way from Japan. -Beserk is a awesome show. -Got Helsing as a present, seems okay but there isnt much out as of yet. Lots of old school ones Yu Yu Hakusho and Ranma, etc...

I would have mentioned it. Awsome series indeed. Good taste in anime :D And yes the chick with the bike is the best in golden boy.

My Collection:GTO Gundam (original) Noir Sorcerer HuntersFull metal PanicSaiyukiAkiraPrincess mononokeAD PoloiceBurn up WDirty PairExcel SagaCowboy BebopAnd some more I dont even remember.

Yeah I am a bit of a fan. Favorite series is tough to say. Some of my favorites are Martian Successor Nadesico, Excel Saga, and Sorcerer Hunters I found eve to be good but way too cionfusing in the end. This is the biggest argument for the entire series.

Love Hina was a good time but it got iritating at times. All in all I loved the sntire series. Speaking of sports anime Princess Nine was excellent.

I ued to own Hellsing, but after I finished it, I knew that I would never want to watch it again. It was not that good. MAcross Plus...I think that is one I need to buy. I used to have a crappy .avi of it, and I loved it. Beserk is pretty good, and Arc the Lad was cool. One that I never liked was Visions of Escaflowne. Kinda annoying to me.

And how could I forget about Iria Chronicles and Gun Smith Cats. Both cool. Oh yeah....Gunnum Battle Angel Altia...good stuff.

Hellsing was great..if it were a movie, that had a sequel. The way it ended just seemed like they ran out of money/time so they threw up a couple lines of text and some unsubstantiated ending scene. I start to giggle just thinking about how poorly planned that was.

(I know the manga is way longer and whatnot, but they need to anime-ize that sh1t.)

Oh, and they should animate the rest of the Berserk series because again, the ending was very unsatisfactory. =\
