I may have found a home in this thread!
I have watched DB(Dragonball) from the beggining. Yes GT was a little... out there, but it did have some good episodes and characters. Speaking of DB, New Super episode airs tonight!
I've watched dozens of anime. My favorite of all time has to be 'Wolf's Rain,' that's actually where my avatar came from and I named my Siberian after Kiba. I've always had a fascination with wolves.
As mentioned before 'Death Note' is awesome. Dont watch the live action movie.
Ruroni Kensin is great, just don't watch the movie.
Yu yu Hakusho
Samurai Shamploo
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. This one is good. However, they left out details that were included in the first one, but still make reference to in Brotherhood. Both series are worth a watch.
RWBY(unique and different animation style. Awesome writing, gets a little more adult if you give it a chance.)
Mob Psycho 100
Blue Exorsist
Mobile Fighter G Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Soul Eater
Juni Taisen: Zodiak War
GTO
Rage of Bahamut: Genesis
...to name a few that spring to mind. Most of these came out in the 90's ish but they are still good today, at least to me.
As far a psycadelic anime. Mob Psycho has some pretty good visuals here and there.
I haven't seen either "Serial Experiments Lain" or "Kado: the right answer" but I'll for sured check them out.
