I am a dyed in the wool anime fan. Although I don't consider DBZ to be anime worth watching. It's like Inuyasha and Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, and of course, Bleach. It just goes on and on and on and on. Give me more Ghost in the Shell though. The Major picked a nice cyborg body to inhabit and Bauto thinks any problem can be resolved with enough fire power. It's funny in some places and very deep and dramatic in others. But it's always thought provoking. You can relate some of the day to day issues in the series with issues in the real world. Like refugees.
GitS set the bar for others to live up to as far as graphics and story line. Very well drawn with very little CG. It's not all tech and bang bang. The stories are very good.
