Further geek confessional: I've been using Kazaa to download Anime lately-- stuff friends had shown me the first few episodes and I never saw the rest until now. First was Cowboy Bebop, which was great but ended much more depressingly than I had expected. Then on to Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'd only seen it up to "Magma Diver" before...

Just watched the last two episodes today...

WHAT
THE
FUCK!?

It was like watching an animated Bergman film... I'm still trying to figure out if it was brilliant or if it was a total cop-out. Where did all that Instrumentality stuff come from? My brain hurts...

Any recommendations on which series to download next? I'm leaning toward Vision of Escaflowne, but only after I watch Eva again to see if it makes any more sense with repeated viewings...

I'm a master of evangelion. Feel free to ask me questions. Escaflowne was good, but the movie was much better. Watch the series before the movie or it will be boring. I'd also recommend Nadesico if you are a fan of comedy. Trigun is excellent too. Berserk if you like straight action. Love Hina if you want a great comedy to watch with girls. Kare Kano is also good on that line, an interesting note, it was made by the same people who did eva. I highly recommend Initial D, but you will start getting tickets once you watch it. And Slam Dunk will make you want to play basketball. Lots and lots of basketball. I also recommend: Ayashi no Ceres, Hellsing, Noir, Scryed, .hack/sign, chobits, Arc the Lad, Utena, Neoranga, Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Fushigi Yuugi, Argent Soma, Candidate for Goddess, Vandread, Bastard, Goldenboy. Key the metal idol, Flame of Recca, Tenshi ni Narumon, FLCL, Ah My Goddess!, To Heart, Comic Party, Iketeru Futari, Cooking Master Boy, Full Metal Panic, Platinum Hugen Ordian, Niea Under Seven, and Sakura Diaries. This is by no means a complete list of course, but it's something to get you started. If you want names of good movies, let me know, as these are all series or OVAs.
