FLCL is still awesome down from the music to the animation. I do admit, the scene (I just call it the babylon scene after the song they play during it. The Pillows are my favourite non-English band, and even in both lists they hit #2 right after Floyd) where Naota starts hallucinating and he finds his dad under the sink has always freaked me out.
I've only seen one episode of Stand Alone Complex, though I have wanted to see more, I liked it, and I've heard things I've liked the sound of (Returning to it's literary roots? The smiling man or whatever he's called has a quote from 'Catcher in the rye' hovering around him). I also have a feeling I'd like it better because, although they still could have adapted the movie from the manga much better even throwing out the 'anthology' or 'episodic' format of the original manga (Although it all ties together) I'm interested to see how a TV series does on it. I just haven't gotten around to watching more of the series because I can't afford to buy Anime DVDs (Speaking of FLCL, 80 some odd bucks for only have the series, and another 80 for the rest? You've got to be kidding me >=[), I don't watch Anime on TV. Ever (I can't stand dubs, I occasionally sacrifice for my parents if they don't want to read subtitles, probably the only dubbed voice I've ever liked was that of Lady Eboshi in mononoke Hime. Minnie driver's voice is beautiful
) and I like to obey the law, so I can't download it for free now that it's in America. Oh, and I know one other thing I like about SAC: Yoko Kanno is an excellent musician. The whole reason I even bothered with the mundane Macross series in the past.
Another anime I'm interested in but haven't gotten around to is Full Metal Alechemist. I'm mainly interested from a religious and anthropological standpoint, human allegories for the 7 deadly sins? Chimeras? (The only scene I've seen from the show was with a chimera, he creeped the hell out of me.. I think it was his drawling voice, sounded like he was in pain) and a somewhat accurate, but at the same time fantastical portrayal (from what I've heard) of Alchemy as a religion? Woot. I just wish I could find the time to watch series that have been on for a long time, I know I can't judge them all because I don't normally like series that run forever.
BTW, what is the anime in your sig/avatar. Seems awfully familiar >_>
