My favourite without a doubt is Otogizoushi! It's become my favourite anime alongside Last Exile. Of course, those who didn't particularly like Last Exile might think Otogizoushi isn't worth watching but believe me it is! The 1st story arc happens during the Heian Period and the 2nd one in modern Tokyo. The characters in the 2nd story arc are reincarnations of the characters in the 1st story arc and so the story spans over 1000 years. It has action, romance, fantasy/occult and a bit of comedy. It's great how one series can combine the feel of ancient Japan and the feel of modern yet traditional Japan so well. Otogizoushi is awesome!
A series that surprised me quite much was Madlax. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. It has one of the most mysterious and interesting stories I have ever found in an anime. It keeps you guessing right till the final episode.
Another amazing, filled with action and emotion series is Gankutsuou- The Count of Monte Cristo. While it is somewhat faithful to the original story it also adds many new elements which make it into an extremely addicting series.
If you haven't watched these series yet I suggest you do, they're some of the best out there right now.
If you don't mind me asking. Would you say Madlax starts out slow or oddly? It's just that I read a review of the first two episodes and it said it was pretty bad. Madlax has been on my to watch list for a long time now becuase I heard it's being made by the same poeple that did Noir and I loved Noir.
I'll make a note of the other series you mentioned since Last Exile is on my top 10 list of favorite anime.
