I needs me some new anime. It's been a while since I've seen a good one. Here's my taste in anime:

1. Cowboy Bebop
2. Samurai Champloo
3. Darker Than Black, Season 1
4. Trigun
5. Avatar: The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra

Honorable Mentions:
- Anything made by Hayao Miyazaki, but especially Howl's Moving Castle.
- Persona 4 was amusing and entertaining. Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children was fantastic.
- Kids on the Slope started off promisingly but lost steam and made me hate the protagonist by the end.
- I adored DB/Z/GT in high school. (That was the late 90's.) I find it pretty much unwatchable now.
- I also liked Inu-Yasha but they dragged out the plot with too much soap opera for my taste. I quit watching it sometime in the middle of S2.
- I remember liking 8 Man After and Guyver back in middle school but again, pretty much unwatchable to me now.
- Akira is overrated, pretentious drivel with pretty drawings and horrible storytelling.
- I have tried Attack on Titan and remain unenthralled and turned off by just about everything.

So yeah. I'm a fan of good storytelling first and foremost, and dialogue and character interplay second. Action is also good, but not for it's own sake.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I've seen Death Note and that one seemed pretty cool. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood I haven't checked out yet.

Now THAT one I haven't heard of. I just looked it up on Wikipedia and... I may have to check that one out further.
