i've just seen a hell of a lot of anime
and Casshern ain't anime
also most of the anime your talking about on here is kinda cyber punk dystopia anime with mecha which is not my favorite sort
if you started a thread talking about slightly ecchi comedies then i'd definatly be your man
in this case all i can saw is that if you want move stuff like Eva try other gainax stuff involving mecha/robo (but not their ecchi stuff)

I know, I KNOW! Vampire hunter D is worth a look - Doesn't have mecha, but it does have a distopian future with evil vampires and demon things and lots of cool weapons and vehicles and stuff! And, of course, it has D who'd put Blade's arse through his face before he could even speak. I think distopian samurai vampire western with demons would just about describe the genre. And it doesn't have alien rape, which is something of a relief.

Casshern is actualy a really old anime that has been turned into a live action film. It's a total shit film by the way so avoid like the plague.
The late night channel 4 thing was cyber city odeo 808.
couple of my faves are Tamala 2010 and Mindgame (some shooting up the bum in that, and according to the back it's going to be turned into a live action film by joel silver)
As shippou says FLCL is the greatest anime ever!
A rare look inside Suplex mansions

I promise vampire hunter D won't dissapoint...

GITS SAC (ghost in the shell series) is worth a look, not always particularly violent though. GITS 2 is also good (if very confusing the first time you watch it) - it has the fact SilentNate doesn't like it to reccomend it.
Nice yard suplex...

damn thats a cool pic of haruhara
it's rather hard to give people recomendations as most shows are rather radically diffrent
but goin on "Me and my mate have recently been working our way through a five-disc set of Evangelion- which starts off slow but then gets fucking wicked... Like really cool. Good character interaction and that. Want something more thats kinda like that."
definatly go for FLCL it really is another excelent show and it really shows off some of the skill gainax have at making the art change for the story

It's total shite, I got it as an impulse buy while browsing in Japan, shiny three disk set caught my eye.
Wish I had actually poked out my eyes before hand.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

genshiken is good but perhaps not the best to start with seeing it does rely on a certian amout of knowlede to understand the in jokes
also perhaps not every one would get the humour

Doesn't look like my thing.
I'm not sure I'm in the market for new anime anymore, it's all quite dull these days. The only recent stuff I've liked was Gainax stuff.
Some of the stuff I've randomly caught on TV in Japan has always been interesting. It's the odd subject matter of some cartoons (that will never make it over here) that I find quite intriguing.
If it's not strictly anime you are after I recommend
Ski jumping pairs - interesting just for the fact this was japans number one selling dvd for both volumes. Madness.
Oh mikey - TV comedy acted by shop window dummies. Madness
vermilion pleasure night - Madness!!!
any miike takashi movie - All good
swing girls - funny film, I like it.
