I have Samurai Champloo downloaded (along with Bebop) and I've already seen (and own) all of Miyasaki's stuff, Akira, Metropolis, Perfect Blue, Evangelion, and a bunch of others. I saw Akira back in 1992 when it first came out and you (Ish) were still sucking on your momma's titty :-)Mind you, I'm only starting to scratch the surface of anime, but I've seen enough to know the difference between good and garbage.
Naruto is one of the best when it's not filler. I watch it now 'cause it's only 20 minutes a week and I want to keep up with it just so I don't have to watch it all at once. I don't post on it very often 'cause I just don't like it enough, but I'm highly anticipating when the real stuff comes back. It's like visual crack when it's running the manga, so now it's just a waiting game. Crappy Naruto is still better than the vast majority of shows.
I was there on that fateful day, were you?
