I remember when I thought I would give anime a try and I decided to go with Elfen Lied...
Horribly gruesome. Some of the scenes were really horrific (that dog scene was really sad but at least they didn't show it) but all in all it was pretty decent and I liked the anime as a whole. It was only 13 episodes so pretty good because I'm not about to dedicate myself to something with like 50+ episodes. Definitely not for everyone though. I haven't bothered to watch another anime since.
I feel like we have similar tastes Sarah, so maybe I'll give Cowboy Bebop a look at as well...

Try AnimeA, but they only have download links. I highly urge you to download over streaming, quality is better both with visual and audio. The english dub imo was great, I grew up on it and it's one of the few animes that I would chose to watch in English.
If you liked Cowboy Bebop, you may like Trigun. It's scifi ish, funny, but serious, and has a lot of guns. Netflix just removed it. >_>

Netflix has been removing a lot of crap lately. Whats up with that?

I didn't read any of the thread and I don't watch anime anymore, but I recommend FLCL.

some dubs plain suck, or can't compare to the original voices though, i find that almost any anime with lots of screaming and epic fights sounds better in jap, as the voices in english sound forced (i.e. TTGL) however, not all of them, Dragon ball is a good example.
i like watching the oldies every now and then, tekkaman blade was pretty cool, and i have to finish watA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TAAA! WOATAAAA! WATA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-ooooooooh.... YIAAAAAAAH!

THANK GOD I WATCHED IT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO!
I've already seen the series, but I was rewatching cause I had nothing else to do. They took it off right when I was in the middle of it. >_>
It shows up on direct streaming, but I can't watch it for some reason.

I changed it really fast =P
Didn't know you were watching this thread so intently so late in the night, sorry about that.
Anyway, it's not a huge spoiler, it won't ruin much anything.

Except it's not like that because this is a thread specifically dedicated to one subject where everyone knows it's my first experience with that subject and therefore there's no excuse posting anything remotely spoilerish. Your quote would apply if I was browsing around the anime forum.

That quote wasn't meant to be like "Hey Sarah, good job on not reading my post" or anything haha. It was just silly how something got spoiled and I made that reference to things being spoiled before it did. Shidoshi likes pony anime, I don't expect any less from him to be honest.

My bad.
Thought it was the beginning of a sh'itstorm. I hate the subs over dubs stuff.
