You should watch Space Brothers if you are looking at the crunchyroll catalog. Be warned that it is still ongoing, however.
The original Eureka Seven is also available. Watch it.
Pictures needed.
What in the hell?!
Oops I thought I fixed that.

That she
would recognize someone with the same voice and appearance as her brother who just happened to spend 2 years in a game like this? The voice acting makes it clear she is Sugu.

Hmm. You're the second to recommend Angel Beats. The description on Crunchyroll didn't blow me away, but I guess it's not really fair to judge anything based on that.
Darker Than Black is one that caught my eye. Might check that out.
Edit: I think I'll also at least check out the first episode of "Ah! My Goddess!", if only to see a guy summon a goddess while ordering a pizza.

Don't watch Angel Beats unless you are looking for ugly looking melodrama.
Wow, that sounds kinda... really... I dunno. I expected a sort of semi-serious scifi character driven drama/thriller maybe similar to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, with possibly more power use and heavy digital effects for stylistic purposes. So you guys are saying it's actually some sort of comedy show? Not sure if I'm even interested anymore...
So disappointing!
Watch Fumoffu first. It'll go by real quick and you'll get a great laugh.
83.1% compatible.

I used to have a babel fish, but I accidentally threw it in the toilet.
Wait, Kayos liking Angel Beats too beside Guilty Crown and SAO? Damn.
You should stop being tsun-tsun to DTL then buddy!
Uh.... when did I ever say I liked Guilty Crown? Also, Angel Beats isn't terrible. It's not excellent either. People need to stop exaggerating how horrible Angel Beats over minor problems because it creates some bullshit around here. As a whole Angel Beats isn't terrible. It's just average.

Always heed the knowledge of icarus-heika, Syrinx.
Well, cajun. It seems you're compatible with the whole town.

Earth! It's been a while. Isaac's past? Well that was faster than I expected. Doublecross in this ep was ace and I'm liking more and more how its just a bunch of crime syndicates causing the issues in the solar system. Isaac was pretty poetic with his revenge too.

Hey now, speaking of submarines what about that Black Lagoon episode? This is a perfect time to reenforce how shitty thee writing is in Black Lagoon. In the first season they go over the story of a fictional nazi submarine and her crew that was sunk and the crew died because of a lack of oxygen. I've already forgotten the why but either the generator was broken or that model actually had to resurface to get air and either way they weren't getting more, so they were running out of air. Anyways, cut to 50 years or so later and Revy and Rock have to go recover something from the sub and what do you know, the submarine now has air again! I don't understand how the author or the writers of the series, whoever made the story could make such a blatant mistake like that. They spent the previous 5 or 10 minutes chronicling what the crew would do knowing they were all about to die without air just to magically have air there 5 minutes later in the episode.
Damn Black Lagoon sucks.

I have info for Initial D Fifth Stage, don't know if it's confirmed yet though:
Director: Mitsuo Hashimoto
Studio: Synergy SP
Air Date: 11/4/12
I don't think the CG is ugly.
I like it too. I even have a PS2 Import of Special Stage.
I score a lot of stuff highly because I only watch shows I am pretty sure to enjoy.
I liked the comedic parts of it as well as the dub. The melodrama is bottom of the barrel stuff though.
Am I too late to the party? http://myanimelist.net/profile/cjkeats (Please note, I only got started again late summer)
I found Angel Beats enjoyable enough until it just kinda looked at it's watch and bailed like it was hitting on someone else's girlfriend and he was coming this way.

How does Ghost in the Shell progress? Is it the movie, then anime, then Stand Alone Complex? Haven't seen any of it (yes, I said it. Shower me with pitchforks).
Also, just realized Hulu has a shit-ton of anime. Don't know if I feel like signing up for another service though (I realize Hulu is free, but then there's Hulu-plus and all) Have to look up their policy on watching stuff for free.

The ending few arc is the best part of the show. I didn't like the comedic bits.

Well it says unknown compatibility for me but we share 13 anime. You have an average score of 8.6 for them and I got a score of 7.9 .We haven't really seen much in common
The 2 seasons of SAC and then the movie (Solid State Society) belong in the SAC continuity.
GitS -> Innocence is the movie continuity.
The manga is its own continuity.
They're all sort of independent from each other, and don't follow the same continuity.
That's insulting.

Well, there's my MAL. Pretty sure I'm highest with dakkumauji, and that's not even 60%.
Some of Hulu's stuff is free, some of it redirects you to outside paid streaming services afaik. They still have a fair amount of good stuff, although a lot of it you can also get from Funimation's site.

I second this ... angel beat is nothing special , but isn't "bad" to the point you can't enjoy it ..an average anime that would be forgotten in a couple of years at most ( unless they release a sequel )
So, I could feasibly start watching SAC and not suffer from not watching the movie? (did a search for the movie on Netflix and didn't find it. Did they take it down?)
Should also point out now that I've watched the first 11 episodes of Gunslinger Girl on Netflix. Don't know what this board feels about it, but I've generally found it enjoyable.

I guess we're sort of at that point where Vietnam can be used for art now. Although, everyone is already doing September 11th porn in their video games and movies, so why not.
That also begs the question that I asked at the beginning - what was the point of all the flashbacks that start each episode
I think I'm out for a while. Maybe I'll just read the Random Curiosity screen grabs/summaries until the next big thing happens.

Still, what a god awful infodump. Why do SyFy writers feel the need to have their "Architect" moment? Why not just leave that stuff in some writer's bible that you can sell after you die (and have some director turn into a trilogy of movies)?
if you were just going to vomit up all that stuff in the fourth episode anyway? Yeesh.

What's with all these percentages going around???
Anyways, I finally got around to watching Psycho-Pass and I must say it started at full steam to me. I like how it got right down to the point, but I'm still not sold on it yet.

Watching SAC requires no prior experience with anything GitS related but the Oshii movie's are pretty much the best thing out of the entire franchise.

um.
um.
I felt like this was a good time to infodump, much better than Psycho-Pass, Zetsuen and F/Z's first episodes of dumping.
Hook.
If you do watch the first movie make sure it's the original and not the 2.0 version.
Yes you could but I would still suggest you track down the movie anyway as it's pretty much required viewing.
Gunslinger Girl is pretty good. However, don't bother with the second season since it was handled by a different studio and is, by most accounts, a very inferior product in comparison.
Yeah you can watch SAC on its own. It has nothing to do with the movies at all, other than sharing the same source material (the characters and setting from the manga).
