Yeah, Inuyasha, from what I recall, was a good story and had interesting characters... want to see if I can pick the movies up at the mall tonight, I could use a refresher... that and Karas I'd definitely recommend... there are a couple sword fights that have purely amazing graphics, but their powers go well beyond just swordsmanship and martial art, some gory big scale destruction, good plot, and interesting characters... I watched both movies back to back, it was great XD

I'm considering picking up Full Metal Alchemist, but I'm starting to think it's near impossible to find the earlier episodes around here :/

I've never watched Full Metal Alchemist either, but someone ruined the ending for me so I have little interest in watching it. I actually found Karas on youtube and can't wait till winter break so I have time to watch it, come on Friday, get here quicker!!

Don't be put off by having the ending spoilt for FMA, everything good in the series happens before it overtakes the manga and then it kinda gets worse as it strays further from the original material. Manga is worth a read as well, not your typical shounen crap.

FMA is maybe worth a cheap purchase on ebay if you see it going but I would in no way recomend you check out a few torrents.

Might as well post my "Stats"

Currently watching: Clannads, Gurren Lagann, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (very good show), 1st season of Hirugashi, Shippuden (I don't know why) & Hayate the combat butler

Anyone else care to share?

Wow man that's quite the list... I haven't watched much...

Karas, Ghost in the Shell (first movie), Avatar: The Last Airbender, Inuyasha (a movie), some Full Metal Alchemist, Ninja Scroll (movie) ... think that's close to all I've seen... probably missed something though... oh I've watched a couple Pokemon when there was nothing on tv (tell anybody and I'll kill you)... and a couple other shows but I have no idea what the names were. XD

Yay anime fans unite!
And woah that is a heck of a list!

Watching: CLANNAD (Fuuko made me cry), Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (I love it when he despairs at random things lol)

On Hold: Bleach, Pani Poni Dash, Evangelion, Azumanga Daioh, Full Metal Alchemist, too many to list.
Yea I quickly lose interest in some anime after about 3 eps but I pick them up after a long break.

Watched: Naruto, Haruhi, Lucky Star, FLCL, Elfen Lied

All the ones you've listed are pretty amazing pieces of work EXCEPT Shippuuden! This was the one anime that was so appalling it made me want to kill the producers. It completely put me off the Naruto franchise!

Lol I used to watch Pokemon too, and the sad truth is that I actually loved it at the time :o I was but a poor misguided child

To NeverMore: You really should watch FMA, even if you know the ending, its still one of the top anime ever produced.

Also, a lot of people here seem to have watched Death Note, would any of you recommend it. I was kinda interested but at the time I was watching Naruto and Bleach so I didn't want another shonen anime.

That's the thing, I'm no child
Was just bored and sat mindlessly watching a show or two.

Totally, it's not without its flaws and it doesn't always work a well as it should but it is not typical shounen. The first season has some of the tensest moments in anime that I've seen and as long as you don't apply too much logic it can become really involving.

If you're going to watch it though then read nothing about it, it's a show that spoilers could ruin really badly.

I've actually fallen asleep twice now watching shippuden, I just watch it out of habbit. Sakura vs Sasori was pretty cool, and then it went back to shit again. I can't really defend it but from having read the manga all I can say is that shippuden should have a couple really good fights in the future that might be worth checking up on (or you could just youtube for abridged fight scenes and get the good fights there)

Who is this Fuuko girl? Anyways, am I the only who has instantly fell in love with the new girl though? I would totally sit and read with her!

Wow that was quite the list Hydey, I'm in envy of you skill at procuring anime

Desolation, if you still want to know if Death Note is recommended, I would highly recommend it. It's different from your usual anime in a good way. It's full of suspense and intrigue and at times even deep philosophical questions, and I'm only ten episodes in, and I think I will watch Karas and FMA because now that I'm home I have a lot more time on my hands so I should be able to fit them both in here somewhere,lol.Know of any places that could act as a starting platform for obtaining episodes either of karas or FMA?

Nipaa~ ^_^ Where? I've been trying to find that in forever, all I found was crappy dead torrents.

Dead thread... *tumbleweed rolling* '.' I started watching Excel Saga now. It's awesome and makes me laugh. It's so lightheartedly sweet. It's been a long time since I saw something like that.
