Let's try to keep this thread on the topic of where a new anime fan can start, okay?

Though, feel free to start up that DBZ thread if ya like. ;)

Also, just to kinda organize things a bit, here's all the recommendations made, organized into series (both ones airing on CN and ones available on DVD) and movies/OVAs.

Series (currently on Cartoon Network):

--Case Closed
--Fullmetal Alchemist
--Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
--Inuyasha
--Samurai Champloo
--s-CRY-ed (I added this one cause I'm sorta still a newbie to anime and I'm really enjoying this one). ;)


Series (available on DVD):

--Comic Party
--Cowboy Bebop
--Fruits Basket
--Full Metal Panic!
--GTO
--Gundum
--Haibane Renmei
--Noir
--Now and Then, Here and There
--RahXephon
--Record of Lodoss War
--Robotech
--Rurouni Kenshin
--Scrapped Princess
--Serial Experiments Lain
--Tenchi Muyo!
--Those Who Hunt Elves
--Trigun
--Visions of Escaflowne


Movies/OVAs

--Appleseed
--Beyond the Clouds
--Castle in the Sky
--Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door
--Ghost in the Shell
--Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
--Grave of the Fireflies
--Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
--Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
--Princess Mononoke
--Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal Director's Cut
--Spirited Away


I did this kinda quickly so my apologies if I missed any.

Just as a Heads-Up for starters,

Cowboy Bebop has begun re-airing on Cartoon Network as of last night. The first episode 'Asteroid Blues' was on at 1:30 in the morning, and I believe replayed at 4:30.

So if you're looking to get in on this series, now is the time!!!

John, I know a lot of people recommended this to you, but I just thought I'd reiterate. It's a great anime and really good starter series. You really must tune in. ;)
