1.) I don't have a hell of a lot of free time and should sleep more anyhow
2.) I don't have a decent movie-watching apparatus at the moment
3.) I wind up not being able to stand the vast majority of anime I do watch -- which is about my luck with western t.v. and movies, too, only getting anime is more effort.
I watched Fushigi Yuugi back in high school and enjoyed it quite a lot, though I don't know if I'd like it now and, anyhow, I don't recall it getting interesting until about fourteen episodes in when people started dying and you realized how batshitfucking crazy Miaka's friend was.
These days it seems I have the best luck with anime in one of two categories: really god-damned serious (most recently Mirage of Blaze, which has the added benefit of making me raid the city library's books on feudal Japanese battles and politics to figure out what the hell the characters were talking about) and completely unapologetic crack (most recently Ouran Host Club, which is every yaoi trope ever, complete with an entire school full of fangirls who have the power to summon cherry blossoms and grow their eyes to twenty-three times their normal size upon seeing the slightest hint of pretty gay twincest).
Anything on your list cracky or eye-burningly serious?
