I've been bested.

I just served Toony, and I gain his powers as a consequence.

There can only be one!

So I just found out the first anime I saw growing up, Gundam Wing, wasn't all that well received. I'm somewhat saddened by this. A lot of shows I love, people seem to hate.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

Seconded. Also, I notice FLCL isn't on your list? That should be remedied.
Tried to watch it recently, but couldn't get past ep2. Srsly, couldn't he just use his friggin bat to get rid of her?

Are there any anime with transhumanism as a theme?
I'd say Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze are quite 'transhumanist', hehe, altho not in cyberpunk sense.
Was thinking about watching Ergo Proxy, haven't heard of Texhnolyze before, however. :)

Also, what is the most hilarious anime you've watched?
Whether the hilarity comes from corniness, or it's just plain funny, I need something funny right now :P

For funny it would probably be One Piece.

Ergo Proxy as a bit of cyberpunk in it.

Most hilarious...
I got a lot of laughs from FLCL and from Gurren Lagann because they were so over the top, but maybe Mahou Sensei Negima has made me laugh more just because it was perhaps even less serious than FLCL and Gurren Lagann (If that can even be imagined...). Same goes for Love Hina, although I only read the manga, and it was done by the same artist.
Then again, I probably laughed most at Neon Genesis Evangelion (haha, sarcasm).

Going by the Eclipse Phase RPG, where people can upload their brains to computers, make backups of themselves, and live in part robots/part biological...things.

You want Ghost in the Shell. You want it hard.
Unless you also don't like deep political plots and military action set in future Japan after (I think) World War IV...  at least World War III.
It's after nuclear World War III and non-nuclear World War IV. It's also a show that can be a bit tricky to follow without a degree in sociology.

Very true, but for what he wanted with "Transhumanism", it fits the bill to an absolute tee in terms of content, and in some cases in terms of plot as well. If he can follow it, it'll probably be very enjoyable for him. It's an enjoyable anime anyway. Haven't read the manga though...

Watching Death Note finally for something to do tonight.  I'm on episode 3 and I'm actually enjoying myself.  I wasn't expecting this to happen.  Thank you Hulu.com!

Wow, there's actually still people that haven't already seen the entirety of Death Note? I'd have never of (or is it 'have'?) guessed.

I've seen next to nothing of Death Note. Actually, my experience with it is pretty much limited to this Youtube Poop video.

Anywho, I'm thinking of watching/publicly livestreaming some classic Anime in the next few days, starting with Record of Lodoss War. Do people have a general preference for Subtitles or Dubs? Lodoss actually has a really well-done English Dub, so I'm kinda leaning that way myself.

Most people like subs more than dubs from what I read on the internet.
