Man, I've watched a lot of things and I've never even heard of that show Neon. So no need to feel embarrassed I guess.

I just finished up the last episode of Maze: The Megaburst Space, and I have to say that it's a very good show to watch, and I heartily recommend it.

Offtrack: (My god, I just realized that I still have my 'heartily recommend' mannerism from playing Puzzle Pirates! RANDOM NOSTALGIA!)

Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, it's about a woman (named Maze) that is mysteriously transported to a fantasy realm, she has amnesia, can shoot laser-beams from her hands, pilots magic mecha, and turns into a man with a completely different personality every night. The show also awkwardly shoehorns comedy into the mix every once in a while by having nearly every character being romantically or lustfully infatuated with either his/her male or female form. Like, really, every single main character, but it still works, trust me on this one.

The show, for being so seemingly generic at first glance, actually does things that are really interesting and unexpected quite often, which in-turn hooks your attention and makes you want more. A deep story is slowly unraveled as the protagonists bumble from one mini-story to the next, and the series finishes off with a great finale as the protagonist is forced to choose between one of two personal lose-lose scenarios. The only problem is that that's where the story ends, and we don't get to see his/her consequences play out. It's a fairly old series, so there's probably no second season in the mix either.

Also, there's an awesomely classic advertisement for Bruce Willis' 'The Fifth Element' about two-thirds of the way through the series. It's really unexpected to see the live action poster-board for it standing out in the anime background.

I suppose it does have it's unusual points though...

Nah, there's no reason to be embarrassed.

I guess realistically I should be more embarassed that my favorite anime is Full Moon wo Sagashite (which I only ever say in full because I believe Full Moon on its own is something else) given its nature.

As for your anime JoshuaFH, I am sort of trying to go away from really depressing stuff right now (even though yeah... Full Moon Wo Sagashite... is pretty depressing later on).

I can never find people to watch the same things I watch... my friend who makes these "I'll watch this if you watch this" never EVER fulfills his end of the bargain... and I watched Tsubasa Chronicles in a week during one of these exchanges. He has yet to even get to Ropponomatsu in Excell Saga (He eventually did watch Full Moon... but because he owed me money). I tried a different friend but he is outright biased against anime. My brother is also outright biased against anything I show him as he has no patience.

Then again my bro is also a graphics snob and requires achievements to even play a game. So maybe I shouldn't take his tastes seriously.

Since it's super late for me and I can't be bothered to remember what everyone has already seen by using the search function:
Those Who Hunt Elves is a good idea... Furi Kuri (Fooly Cooly/FLCL) is also a good choice. Furi Kuri is more like "WTF" humor, while TWHE is more general humor.
Slayers! is also a good series to watch.

Hmm... non-depressing animes...
There's so few that I've seen that I could classify them as non-depressing....
One Piece...
Is The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi considered depressing? It's somewhat out there...
Korewa Zombie desuka? is a very bright anime over-all, if for no other reason than it becomes increasingly outrageous. I officially rank it above Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Panty&Stocking w/ Garterbelt in "WTF"ness. In fact, it's also above FLCL and Paranoia Agent. I am repeatedly subjected to things I have never before thought of seeing in that series...

Fate/Stay Night was amazing, mostly because Sabers hair destroys physics XD

On a similar note, FATE/ZERO! FINALLY!

You can't make me turn off my brain, goddamn it!

I WILL BE VINDICATEDDDD

Also, I lol'd when I remembered that episode when she was standing butt naked in front of him, and then after the suprisingly... kinky mana-circuit ritual thingydoodle, when she was all blushing and shit.

I have to admit I'm a secret romantic person under the facade of a grimdark-obsessed cynic so yeah

THE POWER OF HAREMS

THEY NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE

But seriously, I'd pick Saber.

Even though she's only around for the time of the HGW and shit.

She's a lot cooler than Rin IMHO.

Also, I'm going to go watch Fate/Zero after I finish this rewatch of F/SN. :D
