I've been getting the suspicion that there's alot of great recent anime that I've not noticed in the deluge of trash.
Would appreciate any suggestions as to stuff really worth checking out.
To give an indication of anime that I've loved/liked:
- Serial Experiments Lain
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Studio Ghibli
- Ghost in the Shell
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Akira
- Cowboy Bebop
- Samurai Champloo
Not even sure that the show explicitly states any of their ages at any point, you can probably head-canon it however you want. I'm pretty sure in the case of TTGL the stated age of the characters by the company is pretty much purely for marketing them to that age group as the target audience particularly as all of their behaviour reflects something more like 2-4 years older than stated.
Not like there's even a source manga or novel either as it's anime-original. It's literally just plucked from marketing material.
