Lady Snowblood - ***** fantastic. amazing. beautiful. I hope that more people check this movie out after seeing Kill Bill, since it was the main inspiration for Tarantino.

Takashi Miike should be the director for this. But yeah, it's a bad idea.

The Blaster Worm is STILL around? You should update your OS from time to time. And for god's sake, install a firewall and an anti-virus program. Check the 'stuff you need' thread. about the worm: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...Product=win2000

The Yin-Yang Master - **1/2 great sets, costumes and effects. But the plot moves along so s...l..o..w that I was barely able to stay awake. The Triplets of Belleville - **1/2 very original in plot, animation and directing. But I just couldn't get into it. Loved the soundtrack, though.

Cowboy Bebop. Twin Peaks. ER.

you're right, but that never bothered me. I love all the characters the way they are.

no shit Has anyone seen Tokyo Godfathers yet? It's the new movie by Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress). I have it lying around and will probably watch it in the next couple of days.

What about the characters and the great individual episodes? Spike, Jet, Ed and Faye are some of the best characters I've seen in anime. And most of the episodes are just great (especially Cowboy Funk, Toys in the Attic and Pierrot Le Fou)

There are three different Armitage titles around. Armitage III, Armitage Poly-Matrix and Armitage Dual-Matrix. Armitage III is the original OVA and I loved it. The Blade Runner-like atmosphere is captured very well and the characters and plot are great. Armitage Poly-Matrix is basically a shortened movie version of the original OVA. It's good, but if you want the full story you should watch the OVA instead. Armitage Dual-Matrix is the second movie and takes place a few years after the original story. The animation is BUTT-ugly, with some terrible looking CG effects ruining almost every scene. And the storyline and characters just aren't interesting. You can watch it once if you want to know what happens with the two main characters after the OVA, but it's really not good.

See also Video Girl Ai, which I loved up until the last episode. Some recommendations from me: Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X is mandatory if you remotely like Samurai themes. The first two OVAs (Trust & Betrayal) are awesome. Great animation, very dark atmosphere, bloody fights and a touching storyline. Armitage III - if you like Blade Runner, you'll like this. Stay away from the Dual Matrix movie though, it sucks. Blood The Last Vampire should be very interesting for IDRM, since it's very dark and bloody. It's only about 45 minutes long though and feels like a prequel to a bigger series. The Castle of Cagliostro features the before mentoined Lupin III and is just a fantastic work. Hilarious and action-packed, one of my favourites. Cowboy Bebop is, of course, awesome. Ghost in the Shell should be seen by everyone who's remotely interested in anime. It's a bit complex, but very rewarding once you've seen it a couple of times. The TV Series (Stand Alone Complex) is getting released on DVD right now and is very good as well. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the greatest Anti War movies, period. Ninja Scroll is a great, dark Ninja story. The animation style seems a bit dated now, but I still love it. Perfect Blue is a very good mystery thriller. Filled with suspense and a great plot, highly recommended. Princess Mononoke has been mentioned a couple of times. Serial Experiments: Lain is a acquired taste. But if you like to think while watching TV now and then, check it out. Short description from dvdempire: 'There is the world around us, a world of people, tactile sensation, and culture. There is the wired world, inside the computer, of images, personalities, virtual experiences, and a culture all of its own. The day after a classmate commits suicide, Lain, a thirteen year-old girl, discovers how closely the two worlds are linked when she receives an e-mail from the dead girl: "I just abandoned my body. I still live here…" Has the line between the real world and the wired world begin to blur?' Trigun owns. Vampire Hunter D / Bloodlust owns, too. Other anime series I heard good things about but haven't checked out yet: Berserk, Hellsing, Last Exile (seen the first two episodes and it's great)

Nightwatch (danish original) - ****

yes, you don't even need any kind of program for it if you use Win2k or WinXP. It's possible to turn the message service off by hand with a couple of clicks.
