@rajputwarrior: You should also give Paprika a try, which is a great psychological anime. The original book of it was used as an inspiration for Inception as well. Should give you an idea of what Paprika is about: Dreams. Though very different than Inception of course.

alright my anime loving friends. i need some suggestions. i haven't watched a good anime in a long time. radish just recommended imperial boy in another thread so imma look that one up. Anyone else have any other suggestions? I'm looking for movies, not shows, no time shows. I like the psycholigical/violent stuff. My all time fave is ghost in the shell if that helps

I saw your post in the desktop thread and you mentioned "Vexille". You might like the South Korean anime Wonderful Days (Also known as "Sky Blue" if you like stuff like Vexille. Different art styles and whatnot but it's the plot I'm sure you'll like. Also, I know you don't have time for shows right now but Appleseed as a series being released ever so slowly at the moment. The series is named Appleseed XIII which is a retelling of the manga. All 13 episodes will be compiled into 2 feature length films.

Just finished watching "Tekkon Kinkreet". One word " Awesome ". Art style is really really different and nice, it doesn't feel like you are watching just another anime.

In that case, if you haven't already, go give REDLINE a try. I'm sure you'll like it. Great humour, great art style and a great plot.

You see, I was one of those believers, until a friend forced it on me. I am definitely loving it now. The series is not stupid (as you may think it is) at all. Fights are incredible, and for the first time ever, I was hooked up to watch the series up until 3:00 a.m. (something that I don't usually do).

But your eyes are going to hurt on the first episodes.

And remember this, I didn't believe it at first when my friend told me, but, the drawing improves a lot throughout the series.

One Piece looks like loads of fun, I admit that. But I'm not a fan of anime series that go on forever. Bleach has also been recommended to me numerous times but I just couldn't bring myself to watch it. Dragon Ball Z was the first and last anime that went on forever that I watched :p

Agree, I like the Manga still releasing new ones, but lack of the anime is a very sad thing.

Been looking for a new one since, if anyone wants to suggest anything my fav animes so far have been Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Bleach, Code Geass, Full Metal Alchemist (the first one), Naruto in that order. not really interested in One Piece/Death Note/some other popular anime I can't remember the name of, but beyond that I'm interested in suggestions.

Basically anything with lots of action, preferably non-realistic (hate shows like pretty much all the Gundams, the mech-based combat is not my thing, but shows like Bleach and FMA are more my style of what type of combat I enjoy) and somewhat newer (I can't get into some of the non-realistic animes focused around demons, can't remember what they are called though). Any suggestions?

That being said I might check out the detective conan mentioned by Azusa, sounds like it might be interesting based on some of the comments but it doesn't sound like it's going to sate my bloodlust for action animes.
