thistlechaserWhen looking for (and failing to find) the animes you folks had recommended, I downloaded a couple other ones at random. I've really liked the ones I've sampled so far:
Dear Boys, while having an odd as heck title and being about basketball, is a really fun series. A high school basketball star transfers to a new high school, and tries to get a team going there. The main character is a rather hot fellow (one of the good things about anime: Lots of good looking guys), who -chans all the other big, masculine guys in his class. He's just so cute and dorky about -chan'ing them, it makes me giggle every time.
In my favorite anime, Get Backers, the male main character -chan's men as well. I wonder if it means something in Japanese, other than just trying to make the guy doing it seem cute?
The second series (E's Otherwise) is a little like Get Backers in that some humans have special powers. In E's Otherwise, these folks are controlled (looks like owned, perhaps) by a company who uses them to capture other folks who have special powers. (And again, the main character is a cute fellow.)
Things I've downloaded but not tried yet:
Dirty Pair - Project Eden (despite its title, not adult)
Tokyo Underground
Hikaru No Go (recommended by a couple people)
Hellsing (in English, hopefully)
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Movie by that Spirited Away guy)
In related news, my harddrive is now 50% full. Have to delete some stuff.
Edited to add: I forgot to mention something. Dear Boys is full of Japanese gangsta rap. The closing credits even has a live action Japanese "gangsta rapper" doing his thing. It's fall-down funny.
