I was never really into mecha. But the Gunsmith Cats OVA was sweet. As was Riding Bean, the preceding show about Bean Bandit.
Mecha is not my favourite. I was just posting as I found them on Google Image. I enjoy things like Devilman.
Also, if you want classic 80's action in anime form, check out Black Lagoon. And a brilliant anime was made about the Highlander.
Thank you. That Highlander anime is so criminally little known, I see it almost as my duty to spread the word.
I love Akira, and I could sort of get into Ghost in the Shell; especially with the remake being SUPER DUPER cool! But the other thing is some of the sexual stuff doesn't work for me personally. It's just not my bag. I think one example is either Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D, but I'm sure it's Ninja. That movie was a no-no... Anyway, Akira is fresh and prescient even now. It's very futuristic, and I thought cool. I watched Cowboy Bebop too... Ed is young. Here she is with a corgi or something.
I'm going watch Akira and Bebop again. I have heard of Ghost in the Shell even before the movie but I never had the pleasure of watching it. I'll certainly add it to the list along with Ninja Scroll and Vampire Hunter D.
