[Pomidor]

Hmm.. well... I like all the animes I own.. and there are a lot of ones I like especially, be it for their plot or animation or characters or what not (for example I liked Wolfs Rain a lot, great plot and animation.. but I wouldnt watch it again.. too much of a downer)... but I suppose I would have to say that my favourites would be shows I return to and rewatch frequently, here is a rondown of the few I can think of at the moment in no particular order:

Love Hina
Onegai Teacher
Chobits
Stellvia

Sadamitsu the Destroyer (I LOVE that series!! )

They haven't released the Sadamitsu manga in English have they?

Sometimes I feel like buying the Japanese ?12 manga volumes to find out what happened after the anime ended. The shipping cost of all those manga from Japan is a killer though.

There are a lot of themes in the anime that I am a sucker for.

I saw that it was based on a comic in the credits and was surprised. I have not seen it available but I'd LOVE to read it! The anime seems to allude to Yayoi and Sadamitsu eventually ending up back together (those sketchy storyboard looking drawings and the voice over imply it). It's definitely not explicit tho, which left me wanting more. It's one of the most original and unusual animes I've ever seen.

You see I keep looking at these Sadamitsu manga sets on YJ and thinking about them:

The problem is I wouldn't be able to understand very much of it. But I like it enough where I wouldn't mind just looking at the pictures.

I was thinking that the guy she was with at the end might have been a relative of hers.

So what did you think of the Opening song?
