Living in China gives me little oppertunity to know what is new and exciting anime, since everything is in chinese, and I know I can check the internet but I would prefer some personal recommendations from you cool people. :?: :?:

Well i really like "Fighting Spirit." It's japanese name is Hajime no Ippo. ITs a newly dubbed (orginally made in early 90's) anime and it's about a guy named Ippo and his love for boxing. THough it's a 15dvd set; about 75eps. Another good one is GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka). That is about a 45eps. Its very funny; though a bit for the mature audience 16+.
I also personally like Grave of the Fireflies (movie) which is a great movie and Vandread. Also i just got done watching I'll CKBC (Crazy Kouzu Basketball club) which i fairly good. Though if you don't like basketball it may not be your type of thing.

In anime I prefer the movies of Hayao Miyazaki, like "Castle in the Sky", "Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro", "Spirited Away" and "Princess Mononoke". I would like to point out that you should judge Miyazaki's work as a whole based on "Mononoke" and "Spirited" because both, despite being good, suffers from terminal weirdness.

Yeah, can't go wrong with a Miyizaki movie. I second all of J's suggestions.

It isn't new, but Gundam Wing is still one of the best Anime shows around. Lots of cool action and intriguing philosophy.

Gundam Wing is awsome, but personally Cowboy Bebop is the best :rock:

Yeah... Rurouni Kenshin is not new, but it is very good. I also recommend Zoids:Chaotic Century, which ain't new but is very good. The only slightly new series I can recommend is Gundam Seed.

lets see Wolf's Rain, I'd recommend just about any Gundam series, Full Metal Panic was pretty good, oh oh and Noir, and... Rahxephon.

Seed was horrible! Probably one of the lamest and most badly written animes I've ever had the misfortune to watch. Nothing happened in the episodes! (Something like DBZ, only worse.)

I'm not trying to insult you or anything, and there are a lot of worse anime shows out there, but in my opinion...
