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
the best mecha out there is definitely gundam. watch 0079 for sure, it looks its age but it holds up and it does the psychological metaphysical really well. if you like it than maybe check out zeta, but it's a big step down imo. ibo and witch from mercury are more recent and are less metaphysical (so far, wfm isn't done) but are still good. unicorn probably won't mean as much for you unless you've seen at least 0079, but wfm and ibo are both completely separate shows
