I don't recommend Wolf's Rain. The animation is good, but the story is rather stupid. (Before any of you flame, opinions are things I'm entitled too)
Wolf's Rain is still pretty good to me, but I haven't seen beyond...uh...episode 9, so I shouldn't really say much.

I personally like anime that moves me with the characters and if Naruto and Get Backers doesn't move you, nothing will, I'll tell you that much. The companionship between Amano Ginji and Midou Ban is catching, and the other characters each have originality. Akabane "Dr. Jackal" is a very good character because he's kind of like Magus from Chrono Trigger... Sometimes he's a good guy, other times he's an enemy.
Yay! I'm glad someone else finally saw GetBackers! I really enjoy this series, but it's the type of series which if you don't watch for a while, you kinda lose interest. But, both of the main characters are great, the story is interesting (though I don't know how they'll end it and there's a second season too. The manga is still running though).

I barely saw Scryed recently, and I strongly recommend it.
Hm, I didn't like sCRYed much (character and story didn't appeal to me), but it just got released in the US if anyone is interested in watching it.

Yeah the character design is really old school, but I like the fact that it had old school look but with new school animation techniques. I liked the concept of a character as rough as Kazuma. I hope they make a second season.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the character designs in sCRYed look similar to those in Gundam SEED? I swear they look alike...it has to be the same designer, right?
