Working as a director at an anime convention (Anime Weekend Atlanta) has its bonuses. Got to see a lot of stuff over the last 14 years!
My favorites:
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Future Boy Conan (maybe the best animated TV series of all time, from a quality-of-writing and characterization standpoint, IMHO).
Starblazers/Yamato
Porco Rosso
Metropolis
Omohide Poro-Poro (Only Yesterday)
Macross- Do You Remember Love (movie)
Whispers of the Heart
Queen Millenia
Laputa (Castle in the Sky)
Galaxy Express 999
Cowboy Bebop
Steamboy
BTW: Speaking of Lynn Minmay from Macross- we've had the original voice actor/singer for the original Minmay (Mari Iijima) as a guest at our convention, two different years now (AWA 5 and AWA 12). She's a real sweetheart...
