I have been looking through anime recently and have found some great anime, like one I have seen just recently is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and it was briliant. It is fairly confusing at first, I mean in particulary if watched in the original broacast order, but was great near the end. It gave me the feeling of instead of just scaning a picture across as would other animes, it instead was a puzel where the outside was seen first, and though was still a bit confusing you then fill in the middle and see the whole picture as a work of art. I tried looking to see if a new season was coming, but have barely come up with anything sound.

I have also watched the first half of Full metal alchemist, it was quite good, though some of the episodes are a bit freaky, as it often seems like they rarely win and some horrigying things hapend. I also now have a box set of the second half and I am planning to see the other half at my lessure.

the series Gilgamesh was a great anime though everyone else says it was horrible.

I have been a fan of Hellsing and Trinity Blood for 2 years. I'm just now getting into Gurren Lagann and Code Geass. They are all wonderful and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get into anime; they are full of awesome characters and battle scenes.

However, as a word of warning, Hellsing is very violent and has some themes and imagery that are potentially offensive. The Trinity blood anime may be confusing to people who are unfamiliar with the series, so I recommend reading up on it before you check it out. And in Gurren Lagann and Code Geass, some of the important characters die and things can get melodramatic at times.

I have seen Hellsing, I watched the anime first, thought it was pretty awesome and gruesome, and then I watched the OVAs and felt that it was grew into being more awesome in comparison to the growth of being more gruesome, and it is quite gorey *thought of Jan valentine pops into head*. I have also decided to get the manga series of Hellsing aswell, so far I have 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, so I am a fan of Hellsing.

Also in a search for more Vampire anime I have also watched Karin, and Rosario+Vampire in subs, both of which I have liked, and my brother decided to get some manga of Chibi Vampire (the manga Karin was based on) and has even got the interest of my sister into it, and she has since also seen Karin and Rosario+Vampire.

Also I am watching Code Geass in dub, it is pretty good, I definetly see some simularities to Death Note, I often wait hoping people post the new anime on youtube, as I have no other way to see them.

I have two anime series that I can really recommend:

Serial Experiments Lain - This is less like an anime and more like a fine whisky; it's enjoyable, complex, and it's fun watching it over an over to peel back each layer.

Azumanga Diaoh - This is basically an anime Seinfeld starring a cast of high school girls. It's about nothing, but its portrayal of Japanese culture is funny and quirky an consistently entertaining.

Ok... Big Eyes Small Mount is a bad thing or something? It was here since it was something funny happening with a few other members to be honest.
