OK, doing an anime review is too difficult for me. I tried to think of show to review, that would be interesting. In the end, I couldn't decide. And I'm not sure of how to do a review. So instead, I'm going to make a list of my favorite shows. And explain why I like them. Here goes.

Elfen Lied-- Yes, it is full gore and nudity. Don't get me wrong. I was drawn to it because of that. But, those are not the only reasons I like it. It does well to suck you into the story. Trying to figure out why the main character Kota, blocked off his childhood memories; and what his relationship is to a superhuman killing machine, named Lucy. Not to mention the cast of characters, each with their own trials and tribulations. Sprinkle on some light comedy, a butt load of drama, and you've got yourself a humdinger of a show.

Popotan-- Another show with nudity, but this is more of a cutesy comedy show. At first I thought the nudity was a gimmick, to get guys to watch the show. The story is a about three magical sisters on a journey. After watching the first few episodes, I really started to get into it. The characters are cute, and for some reason they take a lot of baths. Along with a healthy dose of comedy and cuteness, there is a little bit of drama. The characters have to deal with the effect they have on the people they leave behind, as they continue on their journey. It's a short series, but I enjoy it every time I watch.

Azumanga Daioh-- This is a character driven comedy, about group of high school girls. Each of the girls have their own zany character traits. There's pretty much no story to speak of. But if there was a story it would get in the way of the comedy. There is not much else to say. Other than the fact that it is pure hilarity and cuteness. Seriously, I've watched the whole series like five times.

Thats it for now. Maybe I'll edit this, and add some more series later wink
