First of all I would like to say that 'Anime' means Animation in Japan. And that the word 'Anime' could be interpreted as animation made in Japan and not as a Genre by itself. (Like for example when people refer to flash as a synonym for animation when it's a medium/technique.)
Anyway. I've noticed that alot of people have the wrong idea of anime mostly due of children series like pokemon or beyblade. But I think that there is alot of great material worth watching. So I'm making a post about it.
Here is a list of some of the anime I think is worth watching. Comments and opinions are welcome. If there are titles that you recommend please share.
Tekkonkinkreet From Director Michael Arias & Studio 4°C. They worked on the Animatrix as well.

Paprika Surreal animation that shows us how we can visually and auditive manipulate the scenario of the characters.

Mind Game They use different kinds of graphics that mix very well in the context where they are used.

Akira A classic that was groundbreaking for its time. And still is in my opinion.

Princess Mononoke From Myiazaki (Studio Ghibli)

Man & Whale From Koji Yamamura. Made for Greenpeace. I actually wanted to show 'Mt. head' which is a masterpiece and is shown at alot of festivals, but I couldn't find it on youtub.

Memories: 3 great short stories that are shown as one in 'Memories' The trailer was very appealing to me because of the 90's vibe in the way of the montage and music choice.
