the only other anime I've seen are a few Miyazaki films (Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service), and the occasional bit of Sailor Moon...

That would be why you don't like anime. Those all target pretty young audiences. It would be like judging the entire BBC on Teletubbies.

'Cowboy Bebop' is a space western with great characters and music. 'Paradise Kiss' is another one I enjoyed, about kids doing fashion design. And 'Akira' is definitely worth seeing, an 80s-tastic post-apocalyptic classic.

I can give you two very useful tips when it comes to watching anime:

1) The Japanese love hallucinogenic sequences and bizarre sidenotes. If you don't understand it, just let it go.

2) ALWAYS WATCH THE JAPANESE VERSION with subtitles. I honestly don't know what the English actors do, but the dubbed versions almost always suck.
*Cowboy Bebop is an exception. So is 'Orphen' which is made of 'What's Up Tigerlily' awesomeness.

Aaaand I've revealed myself as the geek I am...
