well this is for people who don't know what to buy or watch ask me and i can give you an answer

I've seen quite a few series already, but I'd be interested in hearing your recommendations. Also, where do you get your anime from?

I get my anime from bestbuy and animecastle my recommendations for you would be for now to see death and rebirth and the end of evangelion the movies and also Hellsing
if you want me to give more recommendations just tell me I'm here to help i also have seen quite a bit of anime

I've only seen "death" of "death and rebirth," I'd like to see it in its entirety, though. I've seen End of Evangelion, and loved it. I own the DVD, and I watch the commentary by Amanda Winn Lee for kicks. If you haven't see it with the commentary, you really should, it's a completely different (and hilarious) experience.

I watched a bit of Hellsing, but it was with the worst subtitles imaginable. There were lines which were actually translated into sentences like this:
"I he you my are going to the with am his bank the."

I remember one line exactly, it was the main vampire guy speaking to the girl vampire, he said "Good boy" LOL.

Needless to say, I couldn't continue watching it like that.

What other series would you recommend? What are some of your favorites?

well you need to see the other parts of the Eva Movies well I have many favorites one that is well Known is Cowboy Bebop, Trigun,The Soultaker ,Robotech (a BIG classic),the Big O,Sprited Away,Princess Mononoke,X,and a whole bunch more for what i would recommend tell some tastes you like in anime For example A love story with lots of action (Inu-Yasha) or a Serious and sad with a hard plot(Evangelion) or a just plain funny anime with action(lupin the 3rd) so just tell me the tastes you like in you anime and I acn find anime that sticks to your tastes so you'll like it P.s is that really from Hellsing I own the whole thing and I watch it in subtitles and i;ve never come across that hm?

I generally like a sad and serious story with a good plot, and good character development. That's why I like Evangelion, Lain, Utena, and Haibane Renmei so much (those are my favorites). I'm not opposed to other genres, for example, I liked Fruit's Basket a lot, but I prefer more serious stuff. Philosophy, also.

The Hellsing was a bootleg copy my friend bought from China, because it was much cheaper than the liscenced one you can buy in the US. That's why the subtitles were so bad.

Well I have some for that 1 is Wolf's Rain made from the Creators of Cowboy Bebop This is a sad story of wolfs searching for paradise ( with some humor)(for more info just type the name in and find some sites)
also another one is Witch Hunter Robin a story of of witchs hunting witchs this is a very odd show but cool for more info same as above and blue gender humans are in danger of becoming extinct from bug like monsters to find more same as above and Ghost in a shell both the movie and series A movie and series that questions out own human existence in the fast-pace world of the information age for more info same as above also Escaflowne world is dying - torn apart by a colossal war, the planet of Gaea is in turmoil. Civilization have been wiped out, and more are ready to fall. But a girl could change all that. for more info same as above well here are a few if you want more just tell me im here to please P.s buy the american version its a whole lot BETTER you'll like it

Get "Spirited Away" - its the best one I've ever seen.

Yes thats a very good anime movie have you seen his other works such as Castle in the sky laputa and Princess Mononoke both are also very good anime movies done by him

no but i plan to watch them as soon as i can

ok animefreak help me out. what are some good epic animes? preferably science fiction, but anything is good as long as its EPIC. also im interested in these from reading reviews, what are they like?
Berserk
Rahphexon
Now and then here and there
Full Metal panic

Venom- Akira and Ghost in the Shell are two of the main classics in epic, sci-fi anime. Metropolis is too but I havn't seen it.

haven't seen much anime, but Akira is very cool.
dunc

Venom-

Out of your list, I've only seen Rahxephon. It's a decent series, I think it's best point is it's animation. It's often criticized, however, because that it is extremely similar to a very popular science fiction anime which came before it- Neon Genesis Evangelion.

If you haven't seen Evangelion, I highly recommend you check it out. It's currently my favorite series, and it's extremely well known within the anime community. The character development is excellent, and the "angels" (the attacking creatures) are of very interesting design. The Evangelions (the giant robots) are also very unique and interesting design. It has both psychological and religious themes, in addition to being a sci-fi robot series.

In Berserk: the castle town of Midland, a new king has come to power through treachery and violence. His demonic agents victimize the citizens, until one night, a mysterious warrior comes to destroy them. Known as The Black Swordsman, he has long held an unrelenting grudge against the king.Before the twilight of Midland, a young Mercenary named Guts fights for his fortune on the front lines. There he meets Griffith, who is charismatic, graceful, and deadly. Griffith's mercenary company, the Band of the Hawk, is a powerful military force and the talk of elite political circles. Between the strength of Guts' anger and Griffith's ambition, the face of Midland will never be the same.


in Rahphexon its like civet said it is a great anime series but there are so many fights with Rahphexon fans and Evangelion fans about its origin if you could pick one to watch first like civet go with Evangelion first Then Rahphexon

in Full Metal panic Deftly combining mecha combat, martial arts, international criminal intrigue, high-school politics and a dash of teen romance, Full Metal Panic! was enthusiastically received by viewers in Japan. The manga Full Metal Panic!, which was published in Japan before the release of the anime, has since November 2002 been appearing in serial form in Newtype USA magazine. The creative staff behind Full Metal Panic! is extraordinarily strong. The series was directed by Kouichi Chigara (Gate Keepers, Phantom Quest Corps) and produced by GONZO Digimation (Hellsing, Blue Sub No. 6). On the surface, Kaname Chidori appears to be a normal, popular high school student. The problem is, she doesn't realize just how popular she is. Unbeknownst to her, a group of terrorists believe she possesses the special powers of "the Whispered," and they're out to kidnap her. Enter Sousuke Sagara, a young, hotshot agent from the stealthy anti-terrorist organization Mithril. Will he be able to protect Kaname without her finding out what's really going on? Or will he just drive her crazy as he tries to fit in as her awkward, gung-ho, war-crazed classmate?


Sci-fi eh here are a few Gundam,Robotech,Animatrix,Ghost in the shell,Cowboy Bebop,Escaflowne,Jin-Roh and there are many more if you want to know more titles let me know
