and now that it's getting fansubbed (and ShinGetter's finally coughed up eps 9 & 10 after a long hiatus) this one can finally be checked out again (from the eps seen so far, it's pretty good)
That said, for dark recommendations that haven't come up yet:
-Now and Then, Here and There
and
-The Devilman OVAs (Amon: The Apocalypse of Devilman is a little confusing given the better part of the second half all takes place in Akira's head, but still pretty memorable...at the very least for the sheer carnage level.)
