Jeez, if it's not wanting to blow up the world, it's wanting to dominate it. These villains these days....

Peace Maker Kurogane: Set in the past, It's about a young boy who wants to join his village's samurai assassin team to avenge his dead parents who were killed by samurai from a neighboring village.

Wait... Samurai assassins? Wouldn't that be more like a ninja?

hell I don't know, but it says samurai and not ninja, so im stickin to it.

Edit:
I'd like to recomend Daphne in the Brilliant Blue:
Basically It's about a 15 year old girl who has to cope with failing her one chance to pass the exams to get into her dream job, and the job she was betting everything on.

I cannot believe that Spirited away has only been mentioned once in all these pages and near the beginning blah amazing Miyazaki film. Beautiful world, amazing character development, and it sucks you into it, nuff said.

I'm gonna have to mention Metropolis again because there has been a minor oversight. The film is freaking amazing and I personally love it but some dont really like it that much because its kinda depressing near the end.

I'm suspicious of Spirited Away. It IS handled by Disney after all, who knows what they've broken?

Your suspicions are unfounded, Aza, nothing's been broken as far as I can see.

It seems that Disney knows translation and Voice acting, but that may change.

They could be Ronins.

I thought ronin's were people who failed college entrance exams?

dictionary.com wrote:ronin

\Ro"nin"\, n. [Jap. r[=o]-nin, fr. Chin. lang profligate, lawless + j[^e]n (old sound n[=i]n) man.] In Japan, under the feudal system, a samurai who had renounced his clan or who had been discharged or ostracized and had become a wanderer without a lord; an outcast; an outlaw.

An example would be Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. However, he would be the example of a good ronin.

Actually, I think a contemporary definition for "ronin" just happens to be that, someone who's of college age who's trying to get into college but for some reason haven't passed their entrance exams. I've also seen that defintion used in Maison Ikkoku

This will be predictable... *grins*
My fave Anime:
Wolf's Rain

Why?
A) It Has wolves
B) It has some incredible animation quality
C) It has a very nice, deep multi-threaded plot.
D) You can clearly see it took a LOT of time and effort to produce

It's basically set 300 years in the future, in a post apocalyptic world, wolves have been extinct for 200 years, or so it is thought...
I think it's remotely sci-fi with a lot of action, and well, wolves. All very well done, with a killer soundtrack too.
