akira
ghost in the shell
mononoke hime
captain harlock
starblazers,
cowboy bebop,
vision of escaflowne,
and tenchi muyo.
the first three because they were great stories visually
and had some philosophical moralizing about identity, society, etc., and are definitely classics.
the harlock and starblazers were my favorites growing up. they came on at 6:30 and 7:00 in the morning on weekdays. Robotech should be there as I loved that too, just not as much now.
Cowboy bebop is just too cool...
