Sorry, haven't read this entire thread (lazy ass).
I'm watching Zipang right now. It's about a modern Japanese SDF (Self Defense Force) cruiser that goes back in time to 1942. Very cool and interesting. More realistic animation style (geared towards adults?). Deep philosophical ponderings with realistic political intrigue, historical education, and tense action.
Also watched 2 episodes of Martian Successor Nadescio so far. I don't like how someone has to freak out every other scene. Really manic hyper. Read this was voted best anime series of all time on some site, but I'm just not feeling it so far. But the mecha fighting scenes rock.
Also watching FLAG. Also a more adult-oriented (mentally not sexually) anime with political intrigue drawing from the current events in the middle east. Very slow though. It's on the back burner for now. But the use of CGI for the mecha animations are pretty nice.
