Are you kidding? I’m currently taking Japanese at my school so I can watch anime\read manga in it’s un-subtitled glory.
Some of my favs have already been mentioned (Fist of the Northstar, Guyver), so I encourage you all to check out 8 Man After and Tekkaman if you haven’t already seen them.

Hijack:
If you’re studying Japanese ,check out this software : Pazuru Alfabet.
Google it, it’s freeware.
Cowboy Bebop rules…
Samuarai Champloo is damn awesome…
Ghost in the Shell is a masterpiece…
God bless Japan and their anime.
And bless the Wachowskis for the movie adaptation (trilogy!!!)

I don’t watch or read that stuff anymore, but man, to think back to when I was a gaijin kid in Japan sure brings back a lot of memories. We’d buy the Shonen Jump for like $500 or some salary man would throw one away after he reads it and we’d read it on the way to/from school.
And when we’d come home from school we’d watch Doraemon, Toranino Sazaesan, Kinnikuman (by far my most fav when I was in 2nd grade, about huge muscular wrestlers), Dragonball, and macross, gundam, Lupin the 3rd, hattori kun…
Some great movies during my time were nausicca and akira.
Fun times for a kid for sure.
As an adult, I’d highly highly recommend Hotaru no Haka (the grave of the fireflies), as it is intense and somber:

It will make you think about war and how it can impact the most vulnerable in society, children. If you haven’t seen it, then you are missing out.

Yeah I really like anime, especially
Ghost in the Shell (the seies & movies)
I’d recommend Jubei Chan & Galaxy Angel if u want 2 see an anime that spoofs the genre
Definitley not the modern,kiddy shit.I love the 80s-Early 90s ultra violent,over the top sex Anime.
This thread caught my eye because my son is at the Fanime convention in San Jose today.
I haven’t seen too much of it, but I do like the stuff by the guy (sorry, can’t remember his name) who did Tottoro, Spirited Away, etc.
When I was growing up, I loved Kimba the White Lion.
I meant 500 yen. Not $500.
