"Anime/Manga"

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.

Is that bit in Kill Bill where the Chinese girl's parents are killed count as Anime?

Thanks for all the recommendations people.

I just added the first DVD of 'Full Metal Alchemist' and the film 'Ghost in the Shell' to my Screenselect.co.uk list as highest priority. Should receive them tomorrow.

:-)

And Wardy, yes, it does.

That movie is class. Anyone know if the TV series, "Stand Alone Complex" is any good?

I noticed today we have a film for sale at work called 'Perfect Blue'. £6.99.

Worth buying, maybe?

Just thought I'd drop in. Any Hellsing fans in the house? >_>

Yeah Chobits is great :) if only I could get one of those persocoms instead of this thing. I've never bought panties for a computer before.
