I dunno, they seem prone to hand biting. *chomp*
On a somewhat related note, I see you're mostly going through my Top 25
list again. :) My anime-viewing habits have been a bit awkward lately,
but there's a new season afoot, so I'm trying to ramp up (and finish
last season off).
Biggest show with buzz right now (at least in American circles):
Samurai Champloo. It has about half the team that worked on Cowboy
Bebop (including director Shinichiro Watanabe) and is supposed to be
meshing samurai culture with hip-hop music (which sounds bizarre until
you remember that Cowboy Bebop meshed futuristic, space-bound bounty
hunters with 1940s jazz music). Show was licensed a long time ago, but
people in the know will still be able to download it after its
broadcast in mid-May.
Official site (with trailer):

Oh yeah, one other thing - they've announced that at A-Kon this year in
Dallas, the very talented and popular group Do As Infinity will be
performing. If anyone is nearby, I highly recommend them.
