I really liked Parasyte and its a short anime too. Highschool of the dead is good especially if you're into your zombies like the walking dead. So much anime and so little time, I feel I have only scratched the surface with it. One of the first animes I watched was Cardcaptors Sakura when I was little. Didnt realize it was an anime until I was way older. Could explain why none of the other kids knew about it XD
