Christmas Decisions

Although out of the ones you have listed Cowboy Bebop would top my list there is another, much shorter series that I would start out with with; Cyber City Oedo.

I would also recommend the 13-episode Tokko manga.

The list you give is definitely interesting, but if you haven't watched Star Blazers (aka Space Battleship Yamato), you're seriously jeopardizing your geek cred. It's an absolute classic.

First watched it as a freshman in college over 3 decades ago when it first made its way to US shores. I have all 3 seasons on VHS, and on DVD (Japanese with English subtitles). Plus I have the live action movie from Japan (released at the end of 2010) on DVD.

Having let my hair grow out, I am just about ready to hook myself up with the right uniform to be Captain Avatar.

As a kid living in Hawaii some 4 decades ago is where I first saw Ultraman, Speed Racer, and even old reruns of Astro-Boy. And yes I have also watched G-Force, Macross, Voltron, Mazinger, etc. One year at Comic-con I rocked my Ultra-man t-shirt, Ultra-man hat and badge as a member of the Ultra-Force - Ultraman Halberd Gold. And for me the ONLY Lizard King is Godzilla........

The geek-fu is strong with this one.

I, too, had Star Blazers on VHS at one time. A college-era ex-BF borrowed them, and they never found their way back to me. Luckily, I picked up the DVDs.

My friend Gareth stayed here after attending this year's NY ComicCon, where he bought some very cool t-shirts, graphic novels, and miscellaneous Green lantern-related swag. In fact, he got so much stuff that he left the t-shirts here and I mailed them to him so he'd be able to get everything else he was carrying into his luggage for the flight back to the UK.

I used to work PhilCon, but no longer. Too much BS re: internal politics. (I have a low tolerance for that kind of ridiculousness.)

Looks like I'm the only one to vote for the Guyver series. Hmm. Cowboy Bebop never did it for me. Much prefer Neon Genesis Evangelion and Akira. Ghost in the Shell's another winner, IMO. Well, whatever you choose, enjoy it!
