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

I enjoyed Witch Hunter Robin -- plotty, characters I felt were solid, explorations of authority and morality. It's leavened with humor (and I recall there being at least one point where there was honorific-based humor that I followed but the bff who was only reading the subtitles didn't notice; basically -chan is ... perhaps not how you ought to address the local badass) but nobody's particularly much of an extreme fluffhead.

Trigun is 26 episodes. It has some distinctly silly elements although I hear it gets more serious later. I haven't watched the entire thing yet, but I did enjoy the parts of it that I saw.
