Re: aw come-on, give me a break ... "SPAWN" & "5TH_ELEMENT"

What do you mean Poke'mon style? That's a kid's anime. Try Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, & AD Police. Lodoss War is a bit like King Arthur. Serial Experiment Lain has characters with big eyes (if that is what you meant... never watched Poke'mon), but it is one mighty weird flick. Mononoke Hime is good too (does have a few "cutsie" spots)... Disney released it here as "Princess Mononoke" and it came out pretty good (Japanese studio wouldn't let them release it here if they attempted to alter it... ie removing the lepers and prostitutes and people getting their heads chopped off). Look for the stuff they don't show on TV.... everything from historical (Barefoot Gen) to goofy comedy in cutsie style (Ranma) to space adventure (Macross Plus), religious overtones (Evangelion), whacked out futuristic comedy (Tenchi OVA's... watch subtitled) to X-rated stuff (about as boring as our stuff and too bizzare but at least has a plot)to police shows. Anime comes in all styles, we just normally only get to see the kiddie shows (and even they are often edited... Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball for example).
