The sister of someone on my corridor has the whole Studio Ghibli collection, I think, so he's going to rip them to his hard drive and bring them up for next term.
I've heard quite a bit about GitS, so I'll definitely give that a lookee. Last Exile sounds very interesting, and I'll hunt down Trigun. If I come across any of the others I'll see what they're like. Which of them are completed series, and which are ongoing?
Kaiji is the only ongoing series, but I don't expect episodes from the next season to be aired anytime soon.
