I think I made this thread a while back but I can't find it on search or my history anymore.

I just renewed my netflix after a LONGGGGG time so I'm looking for anime to rent, old or new.

Any movie by Satoshi Kon (Deep Blue, Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, etc)
Evangelion
Tenchi OAV (No Need for Tenchi)
She, the Ultimate Weapon
Serial Experiments: Lain

those are a few of my favorites

If I could physically strike Evangelion out of Danga's list, I would. While it starts very strong, about midway through the series it takes a turn for the awful until finally fizzling away with a disappointing conclusion.

Yes, I bought and watched each episode as it was released back in the day and I'm a bitter ex-fan because of it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

And, yes, we have had this almost exact discussion on the forums before.

I would add some fun anime to the list.

Full Metal Alchemist(starts off fun gets more serious later down the line)
Zombie Loan
Rune Soldier
Gravitation(for those who like drama/lovestory)
Any of the Detective Conan movies
Elfen Lied.
E's Otherwise(If your in fort collins I have this series on dvd somewhere)

Trigun
Fushigi Yuugi
Escaflowne - Series not the Movie

Most of my other favorites are not family friendly. =)

Ga-Rei Zero is one of my favorites
Saiyuki is very cheesy, but funny
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is quite entertaining, although you may want to try to find the episodes in chronological order (the series follows a time-traveler, who isn't even the main character, so it skips back forth across time a lot)
I would also recommend Kekkaishi

Movie/ Series:
Princess Mononoke (probably spelt it wrong)
Sailor Moon (also the series)
Hunter D (or was it Vampire Hunter D)
Nauissica: Valley of the Wind (probably spelt this wrong too)

TOPPEN TENGEN GURREN LAGANN
