Gonzo, the Most Sought After Studio for Anime
Blue Submarine No. 6 was the first Gonzo film I had ever seen, though at the time I hadn't a clue of the actual anime studio who created, nor did I really care. All I knew was that Blue Submarine was easily one of the most amazing animes out. It had great animation, a crazy, action packed story, and great CG that mixed well with the animation itself.

Then, years later, along came Hellsing, and honestly I hated it at first, though the reasons behind this are complicated. The main reason, though, was I was too in love with D and wasn't willing to accept the possibly that there was a vampire out there better than him. Eventually, though, it grew on me, to the point where I couldn't get enough of this dark anime. I also wanted to know who could actually make such an amazing anime, and thus I found out about Gonzo, and soon after found out about Blue Submarine's genesis.

Now, I seek anything Gonzo out, from the ultra violent Gantz to the wacky Chrono Crusdade. And the future is definately bright, with such animes as Speedgrapher, about a photographer who has the power to take lives with the snap of his camera, Basilisk, a Ninja Scroll-like series based during feudal Japan in which two rival clans are battling, and which the leaders of these two clans are deeply in love, and finally, Trinity Blood, a story about a vampire who feeds on other vampires and who now works for the Vatican.

Below is a list of Gonzo works released here in the US. For those of you who are Gonzo fans like me, treat the list as more of a checklist for collecting all the best Gonzo works out. (Note, this list doesn't go in any order, other than yearly releases.)
