Samurai Champloo
Paranoia Agent
Avatar: The Last Airbender (does this even count? lulz)
Cowboy Bebop (the movie, not the show)

Forced to watch?

You did pick very good ones besides Avatar.

Yes, forced to watch. I really enjoyed Samurai Champloo because it helped me get over the idea that all anime is Pokemon. The Cowboy Bebop movie did the same thing. And Paranoia Agent was totally fucked up and macabre, which surprised me (in a good way).

But Avatar? You know, for being a Nickelodeon show, and for being geared towards a younger audience, I really felt like it was good. I downloaded the entire series and watched it in order with my boyfriend, and by the end of the first season, we were totally hooked. Yes, it can be goofy, but the overall story arch is fairly awesome. Of course, now I am outraged to learn that M Night Shyamalan will be directing a trilogy of live action films based on the show. But whatever, the series itself was pretty $.

Meh, others have done the same thing, but better. The last episode was just fucking stupid.

Sure, but my point was that I haven't seen any of it. But I'm impressed by your elitism (is that what you were going for?).

In random order:
Kino no tabi
Elfen Lied
Spirited Away
FLCL

I also think these were worth watching
Cowboy bebop
One Piece (Some of the fillers should be fast forwarded)
GoldenBoy

I didn't know it was elitist to have an opinion of something. It tried, did well for awhile, then fell flat around the time the copycat Shounen Bat/L'il Slugger talked about how he was a majestic knight in a video game and spiraled downward from there.
