I have not seen these, but i've heard they are good and plan on watching/reading them:
.blade of the immortal
.Whisper of the Heart (Mimi o Sumaseba)

Note: i had used the faster loading, older version of anipike, so i'm missing a few titles that i just cant remember.

hmm... those are some interesting opinions my friend... and you seem to stand alone (as far as I can tell) on some of them.

Saying to avoid Lain at all costs?

And I'll say irght now, Fist of the North Star should be seen at LEAST once, simply for the amazing outragouness of it.

But that's the great thing about the world, people are allowed to think what they want...

until our president tries to make that illegal...

o_O

BUT, that is another topic.

Anyhoo, I'm in no mood to debate preferance of Anime. Just noting that it IS about preferance. =)

Avoid Noir at all costs?! That is a pretty darn good anime. And may I say that I am not the only one to think that, there are a number of 4 or 5 star reviews out that. So :p . And Boogiepop Phantom is, I must say, not for everyone. I'm not a big fan, but I recognize and respect that style that some people really enjoy. Fist of the North Star? Definitely not good. But maybe we should have an anime review section on this site... ^ . ^

You're very gentle with your disagreements, but i assure you it's unnecessary. I favor outrageous arguments over lukewarm acceptance.

Well, noir pissed me off because of the frequent unnecesary flashbacks and constant repetition of music. I love salva nos, it's alway on my playlist. But i couldnt focus on the series. I felt that they could have done a lot more with each episode. Plus i actually payed for that one...

With lain...it's a great atmospheric anime. But the concepts are anything but original, or even interesting. Again, just my opinion.

Very good taste good friend. Trigun is teh best. And Spike is too hot. XD

[Stax Kazama]

Its all a matter of opinion. I agree with some of them, disagree with some..

I personally loved Noir. I think its one of the best anime series out there. ^_^"

[Garrett]

I suppose if we're just going to talk about opinions...

I love Fruitsbasket. It rocks. Hardcore. I haven't even watched it all, cuz my friend insists on watching it with me. It is so absolutely... adorable. I'm such a loser. I can't wait to get my hands on Kimagure Orange Road and a few other Shuojo(sp?) animes. I love them. I also REALLY want Azumanga Diaoh. ^ . ^
