  RahXephon - similar to Neon Genesis, but less screwed up brilliant music and artwork {eonsim recomends, as does mattw} {actually has a good ending! —mattw}

  Vandread — Roughly speaking, a comic character drama mixed with scifi mecha action. {the most ADD thing I have ever seen. It’s magnificent. Also some pretty thoughtful philosophing on family, community and relationships. —mattw}

  Last Exile — Steampunk, airships, kinda Crimson Skies, but with a pretty huge twist or two. (It’s in English, too.) {mattw quite enjoyed}

  Neon Genesis Evangelion — completely and utterly messed up in the psychological sense. You probably only want to watch it once, and prepare to be horribly annoyed at the ending —mattw

  Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 — girls in mecha suits, fighting mutant cyborgs.

  Zegapain - token Mecha, more about the characters {eonsim recomends}

  FLCL — Um, yeah. Quite entertaining, very weird. The protagonist has giant robots growing out of his head. Also, rather innuendo-heavy, and incredibly hyperactive. Contains references to everthing, even with a faux-South Park scene.

  Elfen Lied — Brutally violent action series with a romantic/Harem Anime subplot (also nudity). {I wouldn’t recommend it for the same reason I wouldn’t recommend Tarantino films, but I found it really good. Sticks with you, leaving you much to meditate. —mattw}

  Darker than Black — dark-ish GITS-meets-Witchhunter-Robin. Supposedly (at least so far) the powers are magical rather than scientific, but it feels more sci-fi than fantasy. Quite enjoyed the first three eps. —mattw
