Yes they're are more than you realize I know for a fact Crobato likes anime ^^. I'm sure he can offer us some 'expert' opinions and knowledge like he does with everything else lol.
I am a bit of an Otaku, aside from the mainstream animes (jsut watch for fight scences lol) like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece/DBZ, I do like to read/watch when I'm rly bored.
Some good series I recommend to read/watch aside from the well knowns are Monster (and 20th century boys if u like monster), Azumanga Daioh, Berserk, Welcome to NHK, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kenshin OVA: Trust & Betrayal, Visions of Escaflowne, Death Note (manga preferable), and etc.
90s had the best animes Escaflowne, Bebop, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Kenshin, Evangelion imo. then again that was when I was rly into it.
P.S. One thing I found amusing is the increasing numbers of "chinese" main characters and increasingly diminished roles of Japan (particularly in modern of futuristic settings).
