Cowboy Bebop is so good! Even though it's the only anime I've ever watched, I can see why it's so popular. I think I might become one of those otaku's now because of it!
A masterpiece, hands down

This show deserves better then those horrible remakes [well, Speed Racer X was good] and the horrible, disgraceful, no good, live action movie! Speed himself is very cute but Trixie might kick my butt if she finds out I like Speed.
One of the best animes ever!
My personal favorite!

A really old anime, made in 1980s, and a masterpiece in its own right. It's totally different from the standard anime you get nowadays, and the story is based on 1850s London. But you can only find it subbed (it was never dubbed in English).
