My favorite anime series would have to be My-HiME. It's still just in fan subs but will be here in America the 28th of this month.
My favorite anime movie would fall under Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle. This is Miyazaki's newest movie and in my opinion, the best. It definitely is a best buy.
I've been reading all the people's "Favorite Anime" and I just have to say a few comments. Many of you say you are anime fans but, in fact, are nothing of the sort. I'm tired of all the people who say their favs are Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho and Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha. These shows are distinctively sorry excuses for anime. The makers of these anime are just in it for the money. You can see this through the overly excessive episode list. People go straight to Adult Swim and see that an anime is playing and deem it an astounding anime. If you truly want to be an anime fan, then go out and find good anime for yourself. Don't have other people do it for you.

I have been an anime fan for as long as i can remember. We all should be thankful that we can get and have great anime series that i have come over to America in the first place. Now, I have many fans like you complain about and talk about "popular series" The main reasons why alot of shows that you mentioned are popular in the first place is due to the support of the fanbase, as well and the enjoyment of watching it. Do you know how many countries wish to be able to watch anime or read manga in the first place. We should be thankful to alot of companies, like Tokyopop and ADV or Viz they are working their butts over everyday to their best to supply and demand anime and manga.
Mainly, I blame ourselves as well as system overall. Many people in country, I am sad to say still hate the ideals of diversity and well as Japanese culture. To me, I believe that this is another reason why very few animes come here. Now I will agree with you on one thing that you said and that is the editing process. Sometimes they do cut out everything, especially the adult swim. But, if you think about in order for cartoon network to play anything, such as Full Metal Alchemist which they were VERY luck to get in the first place they had to comprise to our tv viewing system which is also hyprocritcal.
The only way for other anime series to play on tv or be brought over we must it in ourselves to become activists. We must help our subculture by supporting the artists as well as demand for ADV and other companies to pick it up. Most of the series are here due to positions as well as internet awareness. If we show that we want and fight for it, it will come in due time.
With something to think about,
