But the anime I have seen has been great. Of course, in my medicated state, everything is either hysterically funny or incredibly touching, so I may be wrong, but I'm enjoying things.

LOL! Sinus medicine has that effect on me sometimes :)

Speaking of anime, I'm realizing that my anime knowledge is outdated. What do I need to watch to catch up? :)

I'm merely a dabbler in anime. But this Ruruoni Kenshin is absolutely superb.

Others I've seen and liked: Vision of Escaflowne (my favorite, at least for a little longer). Vampire Princess Miyu. Ranma 1/2 - it's really, really weird. Um. The title character takes 'transgendered' to a whole new level. Only it's funny. Scrapped Princess (that one's not really available over here, I think). Lost Universe.

I understand Slayers is good. Um... I have a friend who likes Cowboy Bebop but it's a little dark for me. Never seen Fushuugi Yuugi but enough people talk about it. Neon Genesis Evangelion you either love or hate or just don't get. I've never seen it.

Also the movies... Spirited Away, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds, Grave of the Fireflie, Mononoke Hime are the limit of what I've seen, but there's lots of others. Um, Blockbuster often has anime movies or even the first few disks of an anime if you want to look at it.
