LOL...actually, I've been wanting to start to get into Manga, Anime, etc; Can you recommend anything good? I've heard about one called Ghost in the Shell. Unfortunately, the only things I've seen that I'm not sure can be considered anime are the old Voltron cartoons in the US, and the short in Kill Bill Vol1.
OK I'd recomend some stuff by Hayao Miyazaki first (Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, maybe Future Boy Conan if you prefer something more like a family-oriented fun series). Than I'd either move to Tezuka or go straight to "Akira". After that, Ghost in the Shell, and then you'll be ready for the real stuff: Cowboy Bebop, and GAINAX masterpices: FLCL, Wings of Honeimase, and finally... Neon Genesis Evangelion, the holy grail of anime.
If you don't have the time, go straight to Neon Genesis Evangelion.
