Hi. I discovered anime in the summer of '06. My husband and I checked out the Appleseed Movie on a whim and really enjoyed it. The trailers on that disc led us to Samurai Champloo, and after seeing that, I was sold. I've never been much of a TV or movie watcher, I usually would rather read a book. Reality TV, lame sitcoms, and the recycled crap that Hollywood puts out has never interested me. So, discovering anime definitely made me want to watch more TV!

Top 13 (lucky #13) continued:

6. Samurai Champloo

7. NANA

8. RahXephon

9. Wolf's Rain

10. Eureka Seven

11. Death Note

12. Toward the Terra

13. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

I didn't count OVAs/movies in my top ten. I think the way stories are presented in the shorter format vs a longer TV series makes it like comparing apples and oranges. So, my movie/OVA top five looks like this:

1. Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal (counts as one)

2. Sword of the Stranger

3. Cowboy Bebop movie

4. Macross Plus

5. Ghost in the Shell

6. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
