Escaflowne
The Vision of Escaflowne is a wonderful fantasy anime about a girl from Earth named Hitomi and her adventures on the mysterious world of Gaea.
Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
Unlike a lot of anime movies that have little to do with the series, the Bebop movie is more like a longer tv episode with amazing animation, good plot, and top notch, fluid fighting.
Chobits
Motosuwa Hideki finds an abandoned Persocon, a robot that looks like a woman, in a trash pile and takes her home. Named Chii, this Persocon is special – she has free will.
Blood – the Last Vampire
Blood is one of those anime that feels like a hack and slash Hollywood blockbuster – the only thing it really has going for it is the eye candy.
Bleach
Kurosaki Ichigo is a fifteen year old high school freshman who can see ghosts. Most ghosts he encounters are benign spirits, but one day, an evil spirit, called a Hollow, finds its way to town.
Basilisk
In 1614, 73-year-old Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa needs to choose a 3rd successor to the shogun. Unfortunately, both of his grandsons are engaged in a bitter rivalry with each other and any attempt to end the feud diplomatically will fail.
Animatrix
In continuation of the theme ‘What is the Matrix?’ Warner Bros has teamed up with several prominent anime directors to bring us the Animatrix, a collection of short stories that take place in the Matrix environment.
Ah My Goddess
Ah My Goddess originally started out as a manga by Fujishima Kousuki, and having not read the manga, I can’t comment on how closely the very short anime series follows it.
.hack//sign
If you’ve ever wondered how the anime industry might capitalize on the obsessive devotion of MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) fans, then .hack//sign may be your type of anime.
Gantz
Gantz is not your typical anime. Its main character, Kurono Kei, is virtually decapitated in the first episode, and in the unedited version, we watch as his decapitated head flies onto a subway platform as the train plows into his body.
Gankutsuou – The Count of Monte Cristo
Gankutsuou, an adaptation of the Count of Monte Cristo, is an incredible anime for those that like mature plots riddled with conspiracies and politics.

FullMetal Alchemist is the story of Edward Elric and his brother Al, and their adventures as alchemists.
