I read GITS 2: Man-Machine Interface, and found it to be painfully bad. So I have been thrilled with Stand Alone Complex It's got almost everything that I like in anime.

Two stand-out episodes:

Testation where a multiped breaks out from the military testing complex and, driven by the mind of its designer, heads straight for his parents house. A really strong SF story with a nice emotional twist.

Tachikoma Runaway, actually only half of an episode, but it's a really sweet story about a Tachikoma helping a little girl find her dog.

ive just finished watching last exile which i thought was magic and am now watching wolfs rain,there are so many titles comming out now its hard to keep track of them all,any recomendations people

Yesterday I watched/bought 'Kai Doh Maru'' and I'm not entirely sure what to think of it. It looks stunning and there is a good pace to it. But there is so much wrong with it. It keeps cutting to a dark screen (fading out only it stays black for ages) in the middle of a scene. Very annoying. The voice acting is okay but it causes for bad storytelling at times. And being that it was created by those of whom made ''Blood...'' it's really short! So while it's extremely weird in places it just doesn't cut the mustard.

*Warning* The trailer makes it look unbelievably cool but just don't build your hopes up like I did...sigh. Still Average though. And has some violent action.

Helps if you say what kind of stuff you like... I love Fullmetal Alchemist, for example, but you might not.

my faves are macross plus,orguss o2,last exile,vampire hunter d,akira,ninja scrolland wolfs rain at the moment.

Full Metal Alchemist is well worth a look. I wasn't so impressed with Gungrave, the first episode is pretty cool but it seemed a bit slow thereafter. I haven't watched any of the other volumes beyond the first one, but I gather it does get better (one day I'll watch the rest, but there are other things that are just a tad more compelling for me right now). As for Planetes, I haven't seen it since it was our freelancer Andrew who reviewed it, but he was impressed by it.

I'd also recommend Trigun to you, it'd probably be right up your street

cheers for the advice leah,will give trigun a go :lol:

Rewatching the new Appleseed movie. The good one. No, scratch that, the great one.
