Hmmmmmmmmm...

Ok, this has gotta be in no particular order 
because I hate trying to order things like that.

- Nausicaa. This is a gorgeous, gorgeous movie. I 
was just blown away when I saw it.

- Gundam Wing. I feel not a whit of shame for 
loving this show. It has deep, complex 
characters, cool mechs, and a fascinating plot 
that carries through the entire show. I've had a 
difficult time getting into any of the other 
Gundams, but I love Wing.

- Fushigi Yuugi. In a lot of ways, this is the 
one that started it all for me. I saw FY and 
there was no going back.

- Utena. Anime as mind-bending artform. It's 
almost a religious experience of a sort.

- Card Captor Sakura. Love this show. Love it. 
It's Clamp, it makes you feel wonderful, and the 
art is gorgeous. 

- Escaflowne. Gorgeous, wonderful piece of work. 
So groundbreaking in so many ways. One of the 
animes that guys and girls can watch together and 
dig for totally different reasons. The movie is 
one of the most gorgeous anime I think I've seen.

- Neon Genesis Evangelion. Anime as mind-bending, 
religious experience artform, part two.

- Yami no Matsuei and X. I put these here 
together because I love the shows in large part 
because of the manga. YnM as an anime was, in my 
opinion, fairly well executed. It lacks a lot of 
the manga's depth, but the gorgeous art makes up 
for it. X didn't fare quite so well in my eyes, 
but just seeing those beloved characters animated 
so beautifully is enough to send me into fangirl 
paradise.

- Gravitation. This show makes me laugh, it makes 
me feel good, and it can be wonderfully romantic. 
Truly a favorite.

- Cowboy Bebop. Awesome show. Another of those 
that I think achieves more of a crossover, 
although not nearly to the extent of Esca.

There are so many others I love. I'm CLAMP 
obsessed, but a lot of that obsession is based 
around the manga. Rayearth is a favorite of mine, 
it just didn't quite make it into my ten. 
Miyazaki is a genius, nuff said. Marmalade Boy, 
the ultimate in shoujo, and Sailor Moon, the 
ultimate magical girl show...

I could go on for days...
