Anyone have any opinions on the following:

Banner of the Stars
D.N.Angel
Elfen Lied
Gantz
Serial Experiments Lain The f-list, it disapproves.
Speed Grapher
Vandread

Also, Blue Seed OVA: Yes? Maybe? "Think 'Slayers OVA'?" Etc?

Only commenting on ones I've seen or heard enough about to make my opinion on watching it or not.

D.N.Angel - Cute. My college roomie was a massive fan of the manga so I heard a lot about it, but I may have gotten a skewed version. The anime was only just coming out when I moved.

Serial Experiments Lain - I got choked through three episodes and gave up. It's sloooooow (mind you, I tend to like shows other people call slow) and tries too hard to be deep and trippy. Conceptually, I should have loved it, but I gave up. Then again, I was at a party with a girl that went off about how much she loved it and it was all about technology and transformative something-or-another, and again, conceptually I should have loved it because I'm into that, but couldn't stand it.

Speed Grapher - I've heard really good stuff about this one, and want to see it.

Vandread - I vaguely recall this was a show about boobie chicks in space and not being terribly interested.

Possibly the most unhelpful opinions ever :P

Well, it helps with the "probably not Lain" part. I keep hearing of Speed Grapher, but not ABOUT it...
