You'll notice a few similar voices and the soundtracks are overseen by the same woman from Bebop, which is nice, but that's only the beginning to it's depth. In my humble opinion, it's production quality, story, and characters are virtually unrivalled in any anime I've seen, though my knowledge on the subject isn't that vast.

Dunno how much you know about anime, but theyre the best damn animation studio since Ghibli. They did Evangelion, Gunbuster, Nadia and some other classic series. The animation quality is really good. Its a fan made music video, so ignore the crappy audio. These visuals should give you a gist of it. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PkwaI2ob8Bo&feature=related FLCL is by Gainax.

Death Note supposed to be good, we'll see. Also got about 3 series of various Gundam tings to go through. And the entire Miyazaki back catalogue, just for fun. Ha ha word on the desillusion, its different for me cos i grew up with it. I didnt really follow it for year while in the UK, so im getting back to it and its nice. True though there hasnt been much decent anime since bepop or champloo. Soul Eater is nice, u should give it a try but its a lot like FMA, a bit too TV series ish for my liking. Nice animation style though. Not seen FLCL, what is it? I heard the Death Note live action were a bit shite, not keen on anime live action tbh. Death Note supposed to be good, we’ll see.

Lemme know what death note is like. I saw the 1st live action film and it was pretty good. Im just getting a bit more dissillusioned by anime and the whole otaku culture. I think its over saturation, and me seeing too much of the horrors of true UK anime fandom thats put me off. Well, that and the fact that i havent seen a decent anime series (artistically and storywise) since champloo. Have you seen FLCL? Its only 6 episodes long, but is utterly superb. Looks and sounds stunning, and is complete bonkers. Aye – theyre fricking ace. Lemme know what death note is like. I saw the 1st live action film and it was pretty good.
