Bebop, other than the ending, and the whole, man, these people are
morons, and nothing ever really changes for them, theme, running through
it, isn't too bad. Akira, I found real odd. Princess Mononoke was a bit
better, but I prefer series myself.
Better bet might be something like Ghost in the Shell.

Akira was good I thought, although the first version I ever saw (on VHS) was so
badly translated that I really had no chance of deconvolving the plot. I thought
Princess Mononoke was excellent, but then most of Miyazaki's work is excellent.
I have a soft spot for Nausicaa myself.

This. I just finished watching Stand Alone Complex, and I think it's one of the
best tv series of any genre/medium I've ever seen.
Also, I'd advise against Neon Genesis Evangelion as an introduction to anime ;-)
I am now trying to decide on what series to watch next...

Does stuff like Speed Racer count as anime?

New one, or older one? But, yeah. The older one is in the same art style
as the recent Anime showing on adult swim, on the cartoon network -
Cashern Sins.
A lot of the newer US stuff, including the newest teen Iron Man, I think
would qualify, since its in the same artistic style, more or less. Most
of the older US work isn't, because they seemed to try damn hard to make
all the characters look even more crap than the really, really, old
Anime did. lol

Every now and then, I do find something actually worth watching:

Or something utterly disturbing:

I guess it isn't just Japan. o_O

I meant the original. I wasn't trying to be picky. I was just wondering i
f
that counts as "anime" to most anime fans, or whether there really needed
to
be tentacles involved or something. :-)

I think you are confusing Anime and Hentai. lol
And, the later only has tentacles in older, or those still following
such conventions, ones, along with a lot of blurring, due to some idiot
idea that its literally OK to show damn near anything other than
genitals. How they can have special sex apps for phones to meet up for
it, and some of the insane live shows they do, which involves sex in
front of studio audiences, and still feel that they need to "blur"
certain bits, is something I will never understand, at all. but, at
least, for the most part, they are getting past the whole, "We can't
show the guy at all, so... hmm, how are you are drawing tentacles?" :p

I feel the same about the concept of "mech".

So the other day, I ended up watching a series of "fail" videos.
Now, while each video is undeniably a fail, some of them you honestly
have to ask... what were you /expecting/ to happen? I mean, seriously,
if this hadn't "gone wrong", what would it have even looked like?
I'll never find it again now, but there was one video which actually
creased me up. OK, so there's a whole series of fails involving various
sorts of motion sensors. You know the thing of thing; people throwing
their Wii controllers through the TV screen, punching the person next to
the in the face, hurting small children, etc. The summary is, /nobody/
has a palatial house like the ones you see in the adverts for these
things, and it's really quite hazardous.
This particular video was special though. OK, so there's a guy at the
end of a long corridor, dancing around in front of some sort of motion
detector. (I'm presuming corridor since these things seem to only work
if you stand ridiculously far back.) The camera appears to be balanced
on top of the TV, so the guy is facing us.
"Dude, is it on?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's on."
"OK man, let's do it!"
So he starts jumping up and down, and flailing his arms and legs around.
I have no idea what he's playing, but he's taking it fairly seriously.
And then, a few moments in, a cat wanders in. OK, so I think we all know
where this is going. Obviously he's going to trip over the cat, or step
on its tail or something. But no - he accidentally BOOTS THE CAT ACROSS
THE ROOM. Just kicks it in the stomach and sends it flying. And I'm
like, OMFG!
But he doesn't just kick it. The cat goes flying and CRASHES INTO THE
FREAKING CAMERA! And this dude was standing, like, 20 feet away or
something. And the camera ends up on its side, and we just see the cat
say "mmmewwwwwwWWWW!" and run away.
That probably doesn't /sound/ very funny. But the whole thing happened
in, like, 2 seconds flat. I spent about 20 minutes laughing my arse off
at that. And I'm probably going to hell now...
