Not sure if this is to your tastes or not but Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is amazing.

The first three volumes are out now, the 4th comes out April 5th while there isn't a release date for the 5th volume.

Yeah we saw that one (me and the wife). Was one of the best I have ever watched. I also liked the last exile, not sure if you have seen that one.

Also Elfen laid was the ish.

watch tweeny witches

If you get past the character designs the show actually is pretty good.

Came in hoping to see Samurai Champloo in the OP. You have pleased me.

The Top 50 list Dresden posted contains some great anime. You should start there.

Full Metal Alchemist or "Now and Then, Here and There"

"Now and Then, Here and There" is really, really good. Despite the art design, it's has very serious story. It's also only 11 episodes, so it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Wow, somebody else in the world who's seen this one.

OP, watch Cowboy Bebop. Paprika, too. Paprika is Inception before Inception was Inception.

Michiko to Hatchin would be another good one.

Mushishi.

I had a few great nights sitting down with a beer and a nice filling dinner, watching Mushishi. An awesome series essentially composed of well-paced Japanese folk stories.

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 1st and 2nd Gigs.

If you want something like Samurai Champloo, then get Cowboy Bebop if you haven't seen it yet. It's made by the same director.

Like others here I can't recommend Michiko to Hatchin enough!! I love it for the same reasons I loved Champloo. Same studio, too.

This thread is a pretty good suggestion sheet. It's anime from the last decade, and not all of it really fit the three you described in the OP. However, I've been watching the first episode of many shows in that threat with great results.

Last Exile is a very lovely anime I fell in love with. Deep enriching plot and characters with depth. Can't recommend this enough.

If you like violence with suspense or some plot, check out Berserk, Samurai Champloo, and Claymore.

If you like mechs, lol, I suppose you can check out RahXephon (sp) or Escaflowne or Neon Genesis Evangelion.

If you like mystery and yet cerebral along the way, check out Lain or Ghost in the Shell.

I have yet seen Paranoia Agent but I hear its good.

And then there's Cowboy Bebop lol, a must see.

It's a promo pic so obviously it looks nicer but I think it really captures the "dimension" of the anime.

just noticed the OP said kite.... wtf lol
you could always watch Madoka Magica which is nearly complete

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
I love Shigurui.

Imagine if Samurai Champloo had no whimsy at all, but was instead bleak, disturbing and amoral.

It's just as awesome/beautiful though!

Hey guys,

Looking for a good anime series to get into. Something along the lines of Samurai Champloo, Eureka Seven or Kite
Click to expand...

Kite? The hentai? LOL
I've been looking to pick up a new anime myself but something more recent like past 3 or 2 seasons.
I'll suggest Wolf & Spice 1 and 2 for you, it's not action-y but the story and music are amazing.

I'd really like to try Monster, but only the first 15 episodes have been released in N. America on DVD and I don't think they'll release any more of this series. :-( I know there are probably fansubs but I prefer to buy and watch anime on my TV.

Noein, eh? I don't suppose it's something like Fantastic Children? I'd sure like to watch an anime more like that or similar to Now and Then, Here and There.
