I wish there was more Japanese Animation on CANADIAN television. We only get SAILOR MOON, DRAGONBALL Z, and YU-GI-OH, up here. We use to get GUNDAM WING, and VISONS OF ESCAFLOWNE. But now we are down to 3, and I don't particularly care for SAILOR MOON.

*SIGHS* *Wishes that local cable would buy the rights to show CARTOON NETWORK!*

Most people refer to it as Anime BTW, not as Japanimation.

You like some Anime that I beleive is the bane of Anime. So many people think Anime is all Yu-gi-oh and DBZ. So they don't pay attention to the anime which is deserving of praise and worth watching.

My favorite anime is the series Neon Genesis: Evangelion. It's a great series and there is a lot of background to it, and to even understand the end you have to do massive amounts of research, which isn't too bad because it gets you really interested in it by the end.

I also am a fan of Cowboy Bepop, but who isn't. I don't like watching it on Cartoon Network though, due to the fact that they edit it for content. I'd rather just watch it on DVD.

Some titles you might want to check out...

Spirited Away
X (The movie, but the OVA is turning out to be a damn good series)
Vampire D
Trigun
Princess Mononoke

I got a bunch others, but that will start you off.

Well I used to be into Anime, but not anymore. I've grown out of it, the only thing I'd say I enjoy watching is Cowboy Bebop. It is a very realistic, and well drawn world, and very well thought out. I like every character on the show...

I couldn't say I like anything else that has been produce as of now, other than Naruto, but I don't want to get too indepth on that--even though I love the manga.

I own Princess Mononoke, and Vampire Hunter D. I have seen AKIRA like a bagillion times, and I think VISIONS of ESCAFLOWNE is like the COOLEST series of ANIME ever to hit CANADIAN networks.

Thanks for the list BOB!

Oh yea, you don't want Cartoon Network's anime. They cut too much out for me. My suggestion is find a local video store around you and see if they have any Anime. Its a lot cheaper that way, and you get to see the uncut versions. Usually independently owned video stores tend to have a lot more of anime and other kinds of lesser known film.

Another alternative to the renting is Hollywood Video or Blockbuster. Blockbuster has been a lot better lately about supplying anime to their stores. So it shouldn't be to hard to find some of the bigger titles at one.

I guess JAPANIMATION is a more common term in CANADA.

I went to check out some local video stores... they were polluted with SLAYERS, RANMA 1/2, HARVEST MOON, and STREET FIGHTER.

Blockbuster was not much better. They had a better MOVIE selection... but the SERIES videos were much the same as the local stores!

Thanks for the suggestion again BOB!!!

O-B-1, you forgot about Beyblade, Super Yo-Yo, and crush Gear.

And Dash, I am curious to know why Digimon does not seem like an anime to you?

Worst show ever was Poke'mon. It'll never be better than the Loney Toons, never!

Loney Toons? More like lonely toons. Pokemon is great. One of my top ten favorite anime shows.

Of course my fave is Transformers.

I really like DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Rurouni Kenshin. I haven't seen any Gundams but G, and that was OK. I did love Princess Mononoke, though.
