Anime newbie looking for shows/movies

[Justin]

I don't think anyone has said it here, but, depending on your age, NINJA SCROLL is a great anime. You should be at least 17 years old before you watch it or get a parents permission. It's not "that bad" but you don't want to get in trouble for watching anime.

Agreed the ending wasn't that good but fight scenes were good. Its still one of my favorite manga

Honestly Kirby: Right Back At Ya is pretty good if you like the Kirby games. The dubbed and subbed versions are both well-made.

Eden of the East. Amazing anime. People say the movies are a letdown but imo its a great starter anime.

Ever hear the Beatles song I Am the Walrus? It's pretty much the most confusing song they ever made, and it's no secret Lennon was on acid when he wrote it.  When the Beatles found out that a high school class was analyzing their songs, Lennon wrote the most confusing song he could think of and said "Let the little  ers work that one out."

That's FLCL in a nutshell.

I can deal with trippy so long as it's fun I read the synopsis and it sounded like something to do with portals, a richenbacher 4001 bass, and robots? ...
(Fun Fact: the Beatles' Paul McCartney owns a Richenbacher 4001 and it was used in I am the Walrus)

The film or the series? or does one follow on from the other?

I probably won't even get around to watching half of these, but could you maybe point out a few of your favs? and I'll definitely add it to the list (captain America style :P haha)

Haha, yeah I somewhat like anime. Also been watching it for... many years. I'll edit the list later and mark some of my favorites in bold.

If you like pokemon you could watch digimon similar but if you want a specific season I would suggest digimon frontier because the kids turn into digimon which makes it badass also if you like yugioh i'd suggest cardfight vanguard
