I was never a huge fan of anime, but lately I have had an urge to start getting into one. The main deterrent for me with anime is they are usually these very long series with deep stories that take awhile to get into, so I feel like I'd really have to invest a lot of time in a show just to know what's going on, so I want to make sure the show I start watching is worth the time.
A couple of my friends are big anime buffs and they tell me that some good ones are Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, X, and Ghost in the Shell, so I figure I'd start with those. Cowboy Bebop seems like a safe bet at least, as I've heard great things from several people about it and it seems to have been mentioned frequently in the topic. Can anyone attest to the other ones?
