Yo, my name is Cornelius and let me start of by saying, the sweet, sweet memories of my childhood. The first anime I watched was .Hack//Twilight and .Hack//Sign then of course like everyone else Dragon Ball but let's focus on .Hack. Why you ask, well as a young child you like childish things but I was different. Twilight while you look at it yes it looks extremely childish but that's anime for you, they want it to look youthful. So that what's dragged me in was the colors, the look and etc, but when I went back and realized what the story was about I see that this was no longer in view of a child's perspective. It was daunting, mature and at few times it had me just in love with the series all together.

Hi I'm Rikki, The first Anime I really watched was Ghost in the Shell (liked the series better then the film) because I'm a big cyber punk fan (low life meets high tech). If anyone can suggest similar animes I would appreciate it :)
