I got the special edition boxed set when it came out which included the Najica panties. lol
I love Lain and also get it. Brilliant series. FLCL on the other hand, I just don't get that one. I don't not like it, I just didn't get it. Maybe I'll have to watch it again sometime in (blasphemy) English.
Yes, the artwork is beautiful. Throughout the entire first episode I was trying to figure out if I liked the style or not but eventually I decided I did. I don't think that would work on many anime but for that show it was a great choice.
WOOT! I love those. Excel Saga was the series that got me into anime in the first place so there will always be a special place in my heart for it. I saw Puni Puni Poemi as a fansub and was so excited when it was released domestically though sadly I still have yet to pick it up.
Ah ... old school Dead Can Dance. Great tune by a great band.
Absolutely adorable. Loved it.
Let's see ... if I had to pick just one anime, I'd go with Noir. The characters are strong, the story line is solid, the artwork and setting are beautiful, and the music is phenomenal (award winning music from the award winning Kajiura Yuki). Everything about it is just overall fantastic. And it's also one of the series that got me into anime in the first place (along with Excel Saga as mentioned above) so it too will always have a special place in my heart.
