I started out with the big ones.

Spirited Away
Grave of the Fireflies
Metropolis
Princess Mononoke
Cowboy Bebop
Castle in the Sky

I loved those, but now when I go to best buy and see the wall of anime I have no idea what to get. Especially since most of it is boxed set series. I want to make sure it's going to be good before I invest my money.

If it helps, I like the animation in Metropolis more than I like realistic looking animation. You know, the short squatty type of characters.

Ghost in the Shell
Samurai X
Akira


You could just join netflix and try a disc of each before you buy the boxed sets.

Samurai X - especially the OVA Collection (TV series is known as Rurouni Kenshin)
Ghost in the Shell
Berserk (6 discs)
Vampire Hunter D
G Gundam
Yu-Yu Hakusho

Also, if you have cable look at Cartoon Network, especially Saturday nights. They have some good anime on - Fullmetal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin, and others.

Which of those did you like?

Good, lighter hearted animes are:

Initial D
Martian Successor Nadesico
Rurouni Kenshin
Generator Gawl

More serious anime:
Samurai X
Blue Gender
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Record of Lodoss Wars
The Vision of Escaflowne

A great, albeit VERY weird anime is FLCL.

Avoid Sin and AD Police like the plague.
