The ones I have watched and liked so far are.

Death Note
Fullmetal Alchemist
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
.hack//sign
Trigun
Vandread
Elfen Lied
Yu Yu Hakusho
Gundam - G
Inyuasha

I loved Fullmetal, loved the animations and the gore of it. The story was amazing.

So far the best one I have watched was Death Note...the story was utterly breath taking. I loved the morbid plot of it and the character development was spot on. I can get over how much I loved every second of it.

Loved the story of .Hack/sign although I never did finish it all when it was taken off Cartoon Network 8 years ago. I love MMOs and could only imagine a virtual MMO like that.

I do not mind watching english dubbed, but I feel subbed is much better and you get the true raw emotion out of it.

Would love to hear your suggestions.

Must have a great story, great characters, it can be dark and morbid.

Wow! So many suggestions haha love the conflicting ideas on must watch and must not watch.

I should probably add that I will be watching most these on Netflix seeing as that it is easier for me to game and watch it at the same time, but if it is a super good one I will watch it from my computer.

im saving him the trouble of watching horrid shit

He liked Elfen lied / Inyuasha

Inuyasha not so much

Elfen Lied.. lol.........
