here's my list of anime i'm planning to buy. the list is pretty long and it'll probably take me more than a year to get em all. especialy because i'm a quallity freak and want everything in PAL (seeing i'm from belgium and PAL has u much higher screen quallity than NTSC). after searching the encyclopedia for all i could find that looked appealing to me. because most (about 80%) of this list a haven't seen, and i'm just judging it by the trailers, revieuws, synopsis, etc. whether i would like them or not. i don't like perky stuff, no hentai, no schoolgirl romance stuff (unless it's really really really good), no naruto, gundam, FMA or DBZ, call me narrow minded if you must but i just really hate hypes. except for kenshin offcourse Laughing

ghilbli studio i don't really like all that much, most is a bit to disney for my taste

anyway, as i said the list is already pretty long and i was woundering if any of you could see if there are other titles which could fit in my list. make your choice by looking at the titles and adding simmualar titles. and if there's a title in there you really think i should take out feel free to tell me!

Judging by the majority of these titles, you seem to have good, mature taste. Kudos to you! =)
Here some similar, sophisticated titles that I deem excellent masterpieces and which you can't help but end up liking:

Now And Then, Here And There- one of the best classic adventure anime
Planetes - slice of life science-fiction in a realistic setting
Cat Soup (OVA) - surreal 30min short about two cats
Perfect Blue (movie) - renowned psychotic thriller about a Japanese idol
Millenium Actress (movie) - a fantastic and heart-warming tale about an actress
Haibane Renmei - heart-warming slice of life anime about girls with wings, featuring excellent character design

Well, I might as well through my my list of [url="animenewsnetwork.com/MyAnime/index.php?user=selenta&categ=10"]Must see[/url] shows. I tried to keep it as small as possible, but I'm sure you can see that a large percentage of those shows are already on your list, a good sign Wink

Voices of Distant Star - Another brilliant piece (and the better of the two imo) by Makoto Shinkai (the guy who directed The Promised Place)

If you're ok with downloading unliscensed shows, here's two that are must sees:

Air - An extremely touching tale that takes in place in a "fantastical" little city. Although based off a hentai game, don't underestimate this one, I absolutely promise you'll cry.

Hunter X Hunter - By far my biggest surprise, it blows my mind to this day that this show was never liscensed. It's like a strictly better version of Naruto. If you're a shounen fan, this is the best in the best in the genre.

Other than those? Here's my suggestion if you know what you like: go to the top 50 shows list here at ANN, then just start clicking on the shows down the list and reading the descriptions and the genres, if it sounds appealling and it's liscened, buy it. If you're as openminded about it as me, you probably won't find many (if any) things on that list that you don't like.

i'm sorry but air still looks a bit to perky for my taste and hunter x hunter still looks a bit to much like naruto and dbz. and i know what i'm like, if i don't like it straight away, i'm not gonna spend money for it. (i'll be spending enough as it is..)

but i think i should've mentioned those i have allready seen and have at home.

haibane renmei
trigun
evangelion
noir
samurai champloo
spirited away
escaflowne
spriggan
