Masticatius Try watching any movie directed by Hayao Miyazaki. They're incredible. Some to look for would be, Princess Mononoke, (Also known as Mononoke Hime, It's my favorite) Also try Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, or Howl's Moving Castle.So you have movies too, wow!! But, aren't they for kids. Atleast I thought so...

I'm glad someone said Elfen Lied ^^
I haven't watched much, but my absolute favorite is Elfen Lied. Then Fullmetal Alchemist.
And no, anime is not just for kids. Especially after watching Eflin Lied.

Especially after watching Eflin Lied. i dunno why people say anime is just for kids or they're cartoons, but if you compare cartoons and Anime, there is a fat difference, anime has all kinds of genres, and there is usually a learning point watching it, I've watch anime long enough and learned a lot from watching them, i didn't get that stuff from watching loony tunes. Plus i think anime is much more entertaining

Astharte (i really hate it when she does that, i´m not nasty when she watches gilmore girls either...) Not making snide comments when Gilmore Girls is on TV must require considerable restraint.

Slight OT in relation to a few posts earlier about cartoon...
Cartoon is basically the elder generation's general term for any form of animation during their time. And anime is no different.
And since most of cartoons back then basically contained nothing but amusing content to entertain children, elder generations nowadays tend to think anime still has the same content. And we cant blame them for that. They grew up in a different era so its natural that they'd be assuming that cartoons of today is still for kids.
--> back to topic, My fav anime amongst the many I have liked is Code Geass
biggrin
