Having recently viewed 'Akira', 'Blood: The Last Vampire' and 'Spirited Away' I'm keen to explore the genre further, but some of the titles on offer seem a little (how should I put this?) 'not my cuppa tea' (e.g. too damn crazy).
If there are any fans here of similar films to those I already listed then I'd appreciate some recommendations that aren't too insane. I don't want anything that's just an excuse for random animated soft porn either.
Cheers, people.

So many genius series. On my last count, I have 320+Gb of Anime/Manga. :) My top 3, however, have to be:
Full Metal Alchemist
Fullmetal Panic
Azumanga Daioh
In no particular order. :)

Castle In The Sky...
Princess Mononoke
Perfect Blue (though it's f***ing creepy...)
Grave of Fireflies (terribly heart-wrenching though.)

I've got a theory:
we have to wait approximately 8 months for the PAL version of a DVD.
For this theory, i have used FMP volume 7.
US release date was: February 17, 2004
UK release date was: October 18, 2004.
Still, Fumoffu's out in january! DAMN!

*gasp* You don't think of Akira as a must see?!
*erupts*

Nice suggestions there, I myself will have to look up the non Ghibli films in there (seen them already)

As if by magic :D
Just happened to be browsing here and always like to give my 2 cents when it comes to this topic.
Stand Alone Complex is indeed a fantastic show; it can be a little heavy going at times (there is one long and fairly complicated story going through the whole series with a few stand alone episodes cropping up too), but it's quality viewing (high production values for a series too).
Anime films I'd recommend: Akira, The Castle of Cagliostro*, Castle in the Sky*, The Cat Returns, Cowboy Bebop The Movie*, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Grave of the Fireflies, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Kiki’s Delivery Service*, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Patlabor 1*, 2*, 3, Porco Rosso*, Princess Mononoke*, Spirited Away*, Tokyo Godfathers, Wings of Honneamise*.
Series: Cowboy Bebop*, Cromartie High School, Cyber City Oedo 808, Excel Saga*, FLCL, Fullmetal Alchemist, GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka*, Last Exile*, L/R: Licensed By Royalty, Lupin III TV*, Macross Plus, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Memories, Samurai Champloo.

Quite a few I think, though I've only seen half the episode Rosalind enjoyed it but the end wasnt as good. If anyone hasnt seen Hellsing, here's a very nice review giving it good ratins all around, [URL]http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=12818[/URL]
