I've watched anime on and off since the early 80's. Am I bit behind the times now, but I recently discovered that Netflix has a large selection I can stream directly to my TV via my Xbox.

Any recommendations newer stuff?

What I've liked in the past. Nanja Scroll, Akira, Princess Mononoke, Outlaw Star, Inuyahsa, Robotech, Berserk, Riding Bean, Grappler Baki. There's more, can't recall off the top of my head though.

I tried watching Appleseed (was CGI), couldn't get into it and I tried Casshern last night, again, couldn't get into it.

are you looking for anything specific? action, comdey, mechs?

If you liked Cowboy Bebop, you may like Samurai Champloo.

Hmm, another one you may wanna try is Gantz, maybe, though if I recall right the anime is fairly short.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is another good one, better than the original anime IMO.

Will try to think of more Robzy. :3

Not huge on the comedy, as the Japanese are some of the silliest bastards on the planet. Action and Mechs are fine, I prefer a great storyline and well done drawning-style.

Will look into the recommends, thanks you two.

DEFINITELY Samurai Champloo. It works similar to American cartoons as there is sort of like a "new" episode that's mostly separate from other episodes...but it still has the bigger story picture, too. That, and the art is fun, story is nice...and it ends well.

There are tons of others. I recomend just watching the first 3 episodes and deciding, from there, is usually the best choice. That's what I do.

Anime, X-Box, Netflix and video streaming? Yiu're a younger at heart, Rob.

In addition to what they've recommended, give Black Lagoon a shot, and go watch Sword of the Stranger (if they have it).

Sword of a stranger is only on dvd, but you should still get it, it is awesome! Quite possibly the most satisfying fight scene I have ever seen, but that is my opinion.

Edit: also, it is a movie, so you wont need to send it back multiple times to watch the whole thing.

Thanks all, I'll get on it this weekend and see if they have the ones you've recommended.

This is a damn good list right here. I really liked Kaze no Stigma, but since the creator died, there will be no further add-ons to the story.
