Cartoons for grown-ups from that animation channel

List creator: IronS Created on: October 6, 2003 - 4:56 PM PDT Description: For those of us whose first adult venture into anime is due to Cartoon Network (watching Dirty Pair in Japanese without subtitles with a friend who was laughing too hard to translate way back in college - yes, Derek, I mean you - barely counts).

	Inu Yasha Vol. 1: Down the Well (2002)			Not Rated
How we ALL wish we can deal with ornery teenage boys: "SIT!"
	Yu Yu Hakusho Vol. 1 - The Spirit Detective: Yusuke Lost Yusuke Found (1992)
Let the violent young do something constructive, like, say, save the world a few times.
	Cowboy Bebop: Session 1 (1998)
Cool, cool music. I like Pembroke type Welsh Corgis. Enough said.
	Outlaw Star Vol. 1 (Disc 1 of 2) (1998)			Not Rated
No dogs but there is a feline female.
	FLCL (Fooly Cooly) Vol. 1 (2000)			Not Rated
Very weird for so late at night. Good guitar music though.
	Trigun Vol. 1: The $$60,000,000,000 Man (1999)
You'd think he'd have a large pocket just for his hair gel. Cool music, especially "H.T".
	Lupin III vol.1: The World's Most Wanted (1971)			Not Rated
Silly and slapsticky. Plus, Lupin's hair reminds me of that of Monchichi's. But the movie is a lot of fun.
	The Big O Vol. 1 (2001)			Not Rated
What's with Roger's eyebrows? Moody mecha stuff.
	Reign: The Conqueror Vol. 1: Ascension			Not Rated
Yes, the Pythagorean cult did exist, but I think they dressed differently.
	Android Kikaider Vol. 1: Lonely Soul (2000)			Not Rated
Cute as boy, cooler as robot.
	Blue Gender vol. 1 (2001)
Icky bugs.
	Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 1: The Legendary Swordsman (1997)
I hate that "Freckles" song though and "Half" isn't that much better. "Heart of the Sword" and "It's Gonna Rain" are totally great. This series and Cowboy Bebop are what got my bf to watch anime in the first place.
	.hack//SIGN Ver. 01: Login (2003)			Not Rated
Good music and an "Isolated Score" option - play it as the soundtrack to your day!
