Last Exile and FLCL are by far my favorites, but then I haven't seen much anime. Last Exile is like steam punk slash castle in the sky (if you haven't seen miyazaki's work... go watch it before anythign else!) The art direction is second to almost none, but the writing is lackluster. Still worth watching. FLCL is hard to describe. It's by the same company that made Evangelion, so the quality overall is fantastic. It's bizarre like evangelion, but not in a way that takes itself too seriously. You'll have no idea what's going on, but there are some really great moments here. It's only 6 episodes, so there's no reason not to watch. just a sidenote: if you're going to recommend something, at least describe the anime a little. it doesn't do any good just hearing the title, since everyone has different tastes. can anybody recommend anime with good writing? | ||

The original movie, then Stand Alone Complex (Both Seasons), then Solid State Society. I didn't find innocence to be that good, since 70% of the dialog was quotes, but it comes after the original movie if you're interested in watching that. If you like movies, Paprika and Akira. | ||

 )). there are other good ones, but nothing stands out as much as this one.since the ones you listed are more action/adventure animes, you could check out One Piece. i think people that like naruto/hunterxhunter would like that. Code Geass and fate/stay night are also good choices. | ||

About eva - you need intelligence to watch this because the story, the characters' motives, overall concepts, etc wont make sense if you dont take the time really immerse yourself, watch it a second time, and just think about eva. The thinking part is what you need intelligence for. Not saying you can't enjoy it if you don't do all those things; I just found doing those things enjoyable in themselves. | ||

Execution of pretty much everything is flawless. I'm lolling throughout so many parts of it, and the overarching storyline is cool. Epic ending. Just remember to watch it in broadcast order, not chronological order.

Because it is boring as hell to watch it in chronological order. Not sure how the argument works for people who hasn't read the [translations of the] light novels though. If you want to, try watching this season's Haruhi, it looks like the season1 portions are being done in broadcast order. | ||
