Not just plot twists but cultural odditities which take a bit of concentration to figure out as well. I agree on GitS as being a classic, though not quite as compelling as Akira (I still havnt found anything which matches that). Somehow Perfect Blue just didnt quite knock me out. I think part of the appeal of animation for me is the investigation of things that would be tough or outrageously expensing to do with real actors and sets - Perfect Blue is a movie that happens to have been done as a cartoon but which doesnt really benefit form the medium IMO...joe
True, this could be just as easily done with real actors, but I still liked it. Sol Bianca and Cowboy Bebop would be a bit difficult to do in any other medium though. Hm, I liked Serial Experiment Lain better than Akira. Also like the comical stuff like Trigun and Rumiko Takahashi's stuff (it's full of cultural things like kamidana, daruma dolls, kappa etc. too). I see they were showing Tenchi Muyo OVA's on the cartoon network recently, of course they were cut so badly that they weren't even funny anymore.
