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

And on the girlier end of the spectrum:
For a short and intense exploration of magical girls there's Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
12 Kingdoms is 45 episodes but is the best "person from our world ends up in magical world" story I've seen.
Gokusen is about the adventures of a yakuza's grand daughter trying to work as a maths teacher despite constantly getting into fights and is lots of fun.
