I like Studio Ghibli movies (Especially the ones done by Miyazaki). I also like Avatar (even though I know people are gonna argue that it isn't anime because its not made in Japan).
My favourites are Cowboy Bebop and Wolf's Rain.
I also like Aishiteruze Baby & Kogepan! ^^

Funny thing about Inuyasha. According to my dictionary, "yasha" is a feminine spirit. But Inuyasha is male. What's with that?


That dictionary is probably wrong (I have a japanese-english dictionary with the same Yasha=feminine spirit entry too Wink )
If you look up in a 国語辞典 (kokugojiten) yasha has various meanings, however the most importants are:
1) an spirit in Hindu tradition with a dual personality: a good-spirit who lives in forests or a devil-spirit that devours travelers
2) the attendants of the Guardian of the Northern Quarter (a god)

Ghost in the Shell (First movie, complete 1st Gig and 2 DVDs away from complete 2nd Gig)
Chobits
Gundam Wing
Zoids

And that about does it. ^^

From good old Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuyasha

The series is named after one of the main characters, InuYasha. The name "InuYasha" literally means "dog demon". Inu (犬) is a Japanese word meaning "dog". Yasha (夜叉) is a Buddhism-related word meaning "demon or demon warrior".

I've seen the following anime;

Elfen Lied
Wolf's Rain
Streetfighter
Pokemon
Samari Pizza Cats

I've also been told to watch Avatar and Inuyasha. XD

I also like Inuyasha.

To tell the truth, Inuyasha literally means "dog" (犬), "night" (夜), "crotch" (叉). However, while 犬 is a Japanese word, 夜叉 derives from the Sanscrit word यक and originally refers to Hindu spirits/deities.

I've recently taken interest into Black Jack. Its a cool anime/manga. He's like House, only with ethics & wears a cape. ^^
My favorite anime are Big O, Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D, Blood the Last Vampire, Neon Genesis,Cowboy Bebop,Trigun
