Probably the Greatest short Anime film ever produced. Able to convey such a Powerful Message in only a half hour. To think it was done on some guy's power Mac. Makoto Shinkai is one of the best directors in the industry.

Giant Robo (the best IMO)
The Big O

Watching Giant Robo is like watching the Marvel Universe come to life. Super powered good guys versus super powered bad guys doing their thing. Some of the best action sequences I've seen in anime. If you love Ninja Scroll, you'll love this even more.

Ginat Robo is Great stuff. If you like it I would also recommend GaoGaiGar and G Gundam

Also GaoGaiGar, One of the Greatest Super Robot show ever

Gaogaigar OVA is way too awesome,the ending gets me all the time...

Gaogaigar actually belongs to a lineage of anime in Japan called Yusha(the brave).
The very first one was Exkiaser, the second one was my all time favorite, Yusha Dagun, totally fantastic and there're quite a few other Yusha animes.

Sadly, Gaogaigar is the last of this Yusha series...

The Voice Form the Distant Star is sure awsome.

Just an interesting trivia, Makoto Shinkai is not only the director, he's also....everything!
From character design to sketching, from panels to animation process and all, he did that whole 25 minutes anime ALL BY HIMSELF!!

Of course the music is from someone else but he did the animation part all by himself, very talented.

And his second work is awesome too, same music artist as the Distant Star, beautiful music.
The name is "The Place Promied In Our Early Days", check it out if you have a chance.

If you really want to get into some classic old school stuff pick up the Gigantor sets--man I loves me some classic anime and it don't get much more classic than Gigantor. And it has one of THE great theme songs.

I also join in to recommend Giant Robo and Big O.

Just watched The Warrior. Great vintage anime!

Desert Punk is also pretty good for action and humor.
