Re: Anime, anyone?

My favourites of the last two years (in order of preference):

Ghost in the shell - stand alone complex - 2nd gig 
comes highly recommended, certainly very enjoyable, nice graphics, good 
plot/character development if you like the ghost in the shell universe.

Texhnolyse
keeps you guessing, as a non-japanese speaker i found it a challenge at 
times to follow the plot, but it was very interesting, lot of violent 
sequences and katana/yakuza, characters seemed a little distant to me, 
but that didnt detract from it for me.

Ergo proxy
very nice graphics, series starts strong, and progressively goes down 
hill, culminating sadly in an anti climax. definately worth watching 
though, given the limited cyberpunk anime available. this could have been 
an awsome anime, forgiving its failings in the plot department.

Havnt seen The Big O, will check it out, although I still havnt got 
around to watching the new Gundam series, so, lots of stuff on my 'to 
watch' list...

my 2 pence, ymmv, feedback welcome, etc.
