Wikipedia explains it better than I can so; :P
I started watching it when I was young, but the air date changed and couldn't watch it anymore. I just finally watched the entire series last year or so - but I want to rewatch it =D
(That's InuYasha in my sig btw CrescentOfLight)

I have watched a few episodes on Adult Swim many years back.
It is indeed a good one. Although, I never actually finished it. ^^;
I even have the first volume of the manga as well as the Movie manga: Affections Touching Across Time.

Having the manga would be really cool too :)

The movies were pretty good. I remember being blown away by the quality of the animation (of one or all? not sure if they were all like that) and it was so different from the show :P

You should check it out.
It's a great read. :)

I believe they were all like that, iirc. XD

My favorites are...

007 Ghost
Blue Exorcist
Brave 10
D Gray Man
Dennou Coil
Durarara!
Ghost Hunt
Kanamemo
Inuyasha
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Shangri-La
Soul Eater

kenichi is brilliant, its one of them animes where the character starts of really crap then they become the strongest. plus its really funny :)

I've only seen those two in your list.

I've never watched it, I think I looked at the first episode but it just didn't really do anything for me.

My favorites are probably Hyouka, Bakemonogatari and Minami-Ke.

Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Mushishi
Shingeki No Kyojin
Animatrix
Ghost in the Shell(Film)
Durarara

In terms of movies Ninja scroll and Afro Samurai though i don't know if Afro Samurai could be counted in anime.
