Rec us some anime!

[firecat]

OMG, we've only got one more anime series in our Netflix queue. Please rec us some anime series! Here's some stuff we like and don't like:

Don't like:
Really silly and/or romance obsessed characters/plots (Jubei Chan is about our limit)
Plots that are really surreal or difficult to follow (we're watching Ergo Proxy, but it is a little past our comfort level)
Series that go on for more than ~30 episodes

Like:
Black Jack
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Gankutsuou
Genshiken
Ghost in the Shell: SAC
Hellsing
Kaze no Yojimbo
Last Exile
Macross, Macross Plus
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Outlaw Star
Princess 9
Samurai Champloo
Shakugan no Shana

Oh, and Last Exile, though it's probably crowding the episode-number limit.

[libskrat]

haha, or possibly I could actually read your list!

We actually did try to watch Planetes but we were put off by the silliness of some of the scenes. Does it get less silly later?

[libskrat]

Oh my gosh yes. In a pretty major way.

The work supervisors (not Fee, the two dudes who are perennially stuck stationside) will never be less silly. Unfortunately. But they can usually be fast-forwarded over with basically zero loss of plot threads. I recommend doing so.

Thanks, that's a good tip.
