so far, the only anime i ever watched was Lupin when they were still showing him on adult swim at 3am, and that was a while ago. what are some good shows i can watch/dl? I don't like lame-ass shit like Naruto or that other shit that they show all the time.... Inyasha or some shit... anyway. what can you recommend, factoring in that lupin is the only japanese show i ever watched (and liked)
If you liked Lupin, you might also like Cowboy Bebop.
Generally, from the top of my head:
Serial Experiments Lain
Monster
Noir
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Ghost in the Shell
Elfen Lied (inb4 shitstorm)
PlanetES and the Seikai no Senki series if you like sci-fi
Mononoke Hime
Paprika
these are my fav and i suggest u start from the top of here, because this is some of the best of the best, from the top of my head:
