I just realized something . . .

Noir was really my first investment into anime and well, I LOVE this series. Let me be clear, before seeing this series I thought anime was stupid. However, After watching this series I thought "I wonder what other amazing animes there are out there?"

After seeing this show I have purchased Gungrave as well as the entire Cowboy Bebop series. Cowboy Bebop was very good and Gungrave is pretty good(so far). However, nothing I have seen has been anywhere near as amazing as Noir.

I just can't get into shows about flying robots, that's just a little too out there for me. Sadly, I just came to the very sad realization that I will probably never find another show as good as Noir. Any suggestions (other series in the same league as Noir)?

I watched the first disc of Madlax (same director and composer as Noir) with a buddy of mine and I liked what I saw, it is on my list.

Noir is truelly great and one of the very best in my book. I too have a incredibley hard tim getting into giant robots, but I saw something that has mechs but turned out to be great and I will recommend it. It is called Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it is more about the characters than the mecs. I am waiting to see Madlax actually. Haven't got it yet, but I have doubts of it being as good as Noir.

Rei Ayanami is the best anime character of all time!!!

some mechs are good...

"A Vision of Escaflowne" is great... though the series does not focus on the robots.

Also i recommend Berserk (however i feel it is only fair to tell you upfront the anime has no ending... They have not converted the rest of the manga yet so unless you can get your hands on that you may not want to get into it cause then you will just wonder what happens)

Fullmetal Alchemist is good but not for everyone... (not a realistic show really but it is one of the best IMO)
