I like anime because it sacrifices acting quality for limitless direction and screenplay possiblities. Also, it's corny as a field in Kansas, and I love corn.
Recommendation... hmmm... Elfen Lied :covers snigger: No matter how you feel about this anime, once it's over, your reaction to the sheer shock value will probably teach you something about yourself. And self discovery is priceless ;)
