Hi D@NTE , just thought of some more , though like i say Ghibli are my prefered coice , i find most anime very crap, too many explosions and fighting and not enough originality , although here are some of my non ghibli favourites from over the years , some are qiute old now,
AKIRA the original and no list should be without it , a must if you havent seen yet. although dated a lot.
Fist of the North Star , fighting blood guts over acting and more fighting , was amazing at the time though now seams , unwatchable to me.
Patlabor 1 and 2 havent seen 3 great big robots detective noir fantastic art, classic. Dated a bit
Wings of the Homeanise mature great visuals very slow pace. still quite contemporary.
Steamboy The guy that made Akira comes back with this , great visuals poor story.
Venus Wars classic bikes future wars , kinda childish but still good, really old should be cheap.
Jin Roh pretty amazing at the time , cival war anarchist, good story great visuals , a deffinate must. again dated a bit , but still some great animation.
Animatrix great selection of Anime , matrix , not good if you dont, like the matrix, but great if you do , although most stand alone quite well, some really nice anime styles in this, though i imagine most people have seen it.
Most of these are worth seeing some more than others , these a re all quite old but still stand the test, i havent seen much new anime apart from ghibli , i find it a bit hit and miss, so if you find a good one let me know.
