Amatsuki (TV)This has beautiful vivid colors and I just love the characters and the bit of a history lesson.
Baccano! (TV)Masterpiece
Black Lagoon (TV)ExcellentNow this chick just kicks ass. She makes this series. Hardened and melancholy with a bad temper, her softer side only comes out slightly giving her a true-to-life depth.
Cowboy Bebop (TV)MasterpieceNobody can beat Spike in my book. This anime has a kick-ass soundtrack, wonderfully interesting characters and development, and a bold anime style.
Grave of the Fireflies (movie)Masterpiece
Howl's Moving Castle (movie)MasterpieceA typical Miazaki movie with magic, wizards, and peaceful nature theme. It is detailed and beautiful and I watch it over and over.
Kino's Journey (TV)MasterpieceThis one is a bit different. It is relaxed and kind of slow. It is about a traveler and what they learn from different cultures on their lone journey. Very inspiring to me as a traveler myself.
Mushi-Shi (TV)MasterpieceBright vivid colors and wonderful zen undertones. Each episode is a full story in and of itself. Laid back and mellow, but it definitely keeps your attention.
Naruto Shippūden (TV)ExcellentUplifting. Naruto is everywhere and I should be sick of him. But I just can't get enough of this cursed kid who is determined to keep going and do his best.
Paranoia Agent (TV)MasterpieceObscure. Another one where almost every episode can be watched independently. It is psychological and makes me thing of society's impact on us.
Samurai Champloo (TV)Masterpiecekickass soundtrack. Wonderfully interesting characters and a great dynamic between them. Integrates modern day elements (hip-hop, breakdancing, graffiti) with old edo japan.
Tales from Earthsea (movie)MasterpieceAfter falling in love with this tale I realized it was based from a novel I read years ago by Ursula Le Guin. Great character development, amazing magical setting: Earthsea, and wonderful advenure. And of course, Miyazaki's bright colors and spiritual feel.
