Any Good Anime Recommendations?

[EnigmaCanada]

I also remember seeing Guyver twelve years ago. I don't remember much about it, except I remember it was horrible, and I was waiting for it to end. That is the kind of experience I'm trying to avoid.

In an unrelated note: I also watched The Hulk today. The only thing good about that was the Hulk animation. What a terrible story/movie.

Update: I'm currently downloading Ninja Scroll, Akira, and the Fatal Fury movies

If you're into cars you should get the Initial D series. There's a real life movie out too

Akira and Ghost in the Shell are ones I would skip at first. They don't have as easy and broad an appeal as things like Spirited Away, Castles in the Sky, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, and others by Miyazaki. Other series, like Full Metal Jacket and Cowboy Bebop, are also easier to get into and have likeable characters(for the most part).

Death note
A death god drops a death note to the mortal world, a genius student picks it up/ finds out what it does (you write people's name on the note, and they die) and starts cleansing the world, by killing criminals. Another genius who is on very top hierarchy of world wide CIA like organization, investigates the mysterious death of these criminals, and tries to find out who is behind all the deaths, by using some crazy logic/deduction skills.

I think all poker players will love the anime because there is so much logical/deductive reasoning exercised by both characters trying to get the upper hand.

Is Death Note a movie? Or is it a series?
