I just finished watching Claymore with my wife, which was pretty fun. While I was disappointed that it didn’t follow the manga at the end, I really like the overall premise and characters. The art, in particular, is terrific–moody colors, beautiful animation, and just the right touch of individuality in otherwise cookie-cutter heroine designs. I like balanced anime where all the elements (art, music, characters, voices) work together to tell a strong story. If the end result is interesting and makes me care about the characters, that’s all that really matters.
Now that we need something new to watch, I’m soliciting recommendations by way of a poll. This way you know what we’ve already seen and enjoyed. If you see something here you like, please give it a bump of approval (you can vote for any or even all of the choices).
More importantly, if there’s a series out there that you absolutely love, please write a quick comment on this post and I’ll add your suggestion to the poll. And then I’ll probably go watch it. Thanks!

Rurouni Kenshin!!
I’m going to have to go a different route. I think you should start watching Hayao Miyazaki’s stuff. That man is an insanely talented story-teller.
I just finished watching Porco Rosso, very good, and re-watched Princess Mononoke.
I still think Spirited Away is the best anime and one of the top movies.
I think Irene would enjoy all of them as well.
Oh yeah, Happy Independence.
