Anime anyone?
GarandMarine:
If you want hard core economics action Spice and Wolf and Maoyu (Maoyū Maō Yūsha) are NOT to be missed. Actually both series are not to be missed in general. The former taught me more basic economic theory then my actual economics courses in college AND managed to be extemely entertaining and endearing. It's good enough I have the DVDs. It's also a gold medal winner of my "Not Activating The Thing I Hate Most About Anime"* award! Maoyu gets special notice for covering not just economics but other subjects like crop rotation, and kinda slides in to poke things like "tolerance" and "war profiteering" (not to mention practically being a homage to Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" speech, and all those who concur with the General.) all while poking fun at the traditional Hero vs. Demon Lord story line... by inverting it hard core. Plenty of smaller jokes scattered about to keep you going if economics lectures aren't your thing but the parody is nice and rich, holding everything together. Sadly this one does activate my #1 pet peeve, but I like it enough that I'll give it a pass.
(click to show/hide)Romance. Resolution. Motherfuckers. In fact the manga/LNs actually go FURTHER with a no shit happy ending complete with settling down and babies. It's fucking saccharine and I love it.
*AKA not resolving a romance sub plot in a given anime or story. Fuck you bastards who started doing this. Some of us are watching for the romance like our mothers watched shitty soap operas! Don't you deny this to me!

It's done by the same animators as Aeon Flux and is very well animated. As for plot, to quote Whose Line...?: the rules are made up and the points don't matter. Redline is just pure, unadulterated fun. Also the vehicles designs are awesome. If you like TTGL, you will like Redline.
LocoJoe:
I watched Redline on Sunday and just now finished Kill la Kill, and I enjoyed both of them immensely. Definitely over the top, and not as much fan service as I was led to believe. That's a good thing.
GarandMarine:
Image heavy anime recommendations.

I do want to note recommendations for the movies Vexille, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Voices of a Distant Star, three really different anime movies that are all really awesome.
Edguy:
I'll be watching FMA as soon as I have time to spare then :)
Also, just watched From Up On Poppy Hill the other day, cute movie!
