>>129988>something with imaginative sci-fi and/or fantasy concepts interesting settings and compelling internal mythologies.always a good start is Neon Genesis Evangelion and after that watch the movie The End of Evangelion.
more sci-fi classics
Akira (movie post-apocalyptic)
Ghost in the Shell (movie sci-fi future & artificial intelligence)
Cowboy Bebop (futuristic bounty hunters tv series + movie)
Samurai Champloo (hip-hop style + feudal japan samurais from the director of bebop)
although i started watching anime series that most people consider "crap" (stuff like elfen lied, amagami ss, claymore, etc) i still think that was very clever since once you get into the "high-quality" series it gets difficult to enjoy the low-tier ones.
