I think this is now anime general so~
I'm not a huge anime fan but there are series and films I like. Only the
Gundam 08th MS Team sticks out in my mind as a mech series I really enjoyed and that has stayed with me. I adored
Gundam Wing as a kid but last time I tried to watch it it was a bit painful to sit through.
Aside from Mecha though...
Off the top of my head the series I've enjoyed and that have stuck with me have been-
-Outlaw Star
-Sherlock Hound
-Hellsing Ultimate (and 13 episode tv series to a much lesser extent)
-Trigun
-Vampire Hunter D films
-Blue Sub No. 6 mini-series.
-Slayers
Honorable mention-
-Dominion Tank Police
-Darkstalkers OVA (not much of a story most of the time but love the animation)
The
Berserk manga is one of my favorite artistic works in any medium, but I never got into the old anime and haven't had a chance to see the newer OVA yet. I'm a bit disappointed that it's only going to cover the same ground the older anime did, albeit a lot more faithfully (with supernatural elements intact) than the old one I'm sure.
I'm open to trying new series but most of the stuff just seems so generic.
PS- Is it weird that I like
Dominion Tank Police more than
Ghost in the Shell? :I I still need to watch the movie for the latter, but I read the manga.
