If you have any interest in getting into anime here are some good ones that avoid nazi death-rape machines or whatever:

Cowboy Bebop - Episodic sci-fi series with a jazz soundtrack, 26 episodes + a movie.

Samurai Champloo - Very similar to above. Episodic samurai series with an instrumental hip-hop soundtrack, 26 episodes

Ping Pong the Animation - Sports series, has a unique art style that takes some getting used to, 11 episodes.

Jin-Roh: the Wolf Brigade - Slow political thriller film, a la Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Sword of the Stranger - Atmospheric samurai action film.

The Boy and the Beast - Fantasy kids film.

Perfect Blue - Psychological horror film (not for the squeamish).
