I'm one of them. I really like the imaginative concepts of Dennou Coil, as a matter of fact, it's all just a question of taste. The fact is, that some people like series outside of the shounen-genre.

But yay, another Emily fan! I have a soft spot for Wellber too... and I'll maintain that Terra e is truly excellent stuff. Whoa, I completely don’t get what’s confusing about Seirei no Moribito.

(: They should be pretty cheap (I believe I got the first one for $5!), and they contain the first 7 episodes of the show. The problem, of course, is where to get ahold of those last 6 episodes. I know the show was broadcast in its entirety in England a while back, dubbed (kind of poorly), but I don't think it was ever released on DVD, even over there... -Tom Well, you can always check eBay for the first two DVDs, assuming you live in region 1.

Light has become way more reckless after one point, and people are actually giving him a very hard time to survive. If you're interested in the effects of the Death Note on society, though, you won't be disappointed with the second half, as some scenes really try to show how a world reacts to Kira. Some of these scenes were pretty freaky. Wyrdwad: Strange Dawn indeed is an awesome series. The thing is, that the fansubber claims that he's got the entire dvd, and he plans to release it entirely. I'm a bit worried, though, as it's only been the second episode and we've already not heard any news in months.

Sadly, it's one of those rare anime that was PARTIALLY released on DVD here, but never finished. After the first 7 episodes, no more was ever released, and it doesn't seem like any more ever WILL be released... which is a real shame, as the show is amazing. I think the only reason it failed so badly is because of the poor marketing: much as with Narutaru, the show was packaged and written up in such a way that it came across as "kiddie," despite the fact that it's VERY DEFINITELY NOT MEANT FOR CHILDREN. I mean, episode 3 of Strange Dawn has a scene that's tantamount to attempted rape! And yet, the DVD case is all bright and colorful, and the description on the back sounds like some sort of Disney write-up... Glad to hear how much you enjoyed Popolo2003 and Nadja, BTW! I really can't wait to read your review of Popolo2003 ep 24 after its release... I'm really curious to see if others find it as intensely emotional as I do. (: And you should definitely stick with Nadja, as the series gets REALLY, REALLY GOOD in the 20s. I just wish Anime Coalition would hurry up and finish fansubbing it! Hopefully, I'll be able to help them toward that goal once PopoloCrois is all done. (: -Tom God, I’d love to see some more Strange Dawn as well.

Personally I'd put El Cazador a little lower (they seem to be going out of their way not to move the plot forward, and most of the people they encounter just aren't interesting enough for it to be a good slice of life IMO) Has Death Note really gotten back on track? I stopped watching it after Light wiped his own memories, but if it's returned somewhat to form I might pick it up again. For me the mind games just seemed getting less clever/logical and more about the personal interaction between Light, L and Misa: None of whom are interesting enough characters in themselves to carry the show without intricate attempts to outdo one another. That and I got frustrated that the Death Note was little more than a plot device to set Light and L against each other, thus they never really examined what kind of effect something like the Death Note would have on society. But I'm babbling. Anyway, good list. I'll definately check out some of the higher ranking ones I've missed. Sounds like a fair analysis to me.
