Since in all likelihood TPP will fuck over anyone torrenting animu, I've been looking to stock up on some good anime. I imagine this thread could prove beneficial to other anons as well, so just recommend me (and others) series many are unaware of or that have been forget by time. And really anything that can't be found on sale English subbed, since with TPP you probably won't ever be able to watch them once it's in effect.
I recommend everyone watch Lain, Texhnolyze, and Haibane renmei at least once. There's no bluray of Haibane in the states, while the others are available in their best formats, so go with that first.
And while not a great anime by any stretch, but certainly enjoyable, Blood+. All of the dvd's have dubtitles, which are awful as they sound.
Ghost in the shell 2: Innocence is only available on dvd in Japanese, and the only subtitles are CC, so torrent the dual audio bluray while you can.
