Some ribbons would be nice, too.

I encountered differing views on the subject and decided to leave Gilligan's first name as uncertain.

Yes, I don't see it as a major problem--at least with children. This might be helpful with elderly people in a nursing home.

Before I had kids, I worried that I wouldn't know when or how often to change diapers. But when I had babies, I found that I was keeping a constant awareness of my kids' diapers.

I watched a few episodes of My Mental Choices. It's an interesting concept.

Hoozuki no Reitetsu has an interesting premise. I'll check it out this weekend.

I tried the first episode of Kill La Kill, but I don't think that I'll get into the series.

I've seen Highschool of the Dead. It's a good action series.

I remember Mazinger Z! Or, as it was called when I saw it, Tranzor Z.

Don't call me Shirley.

One of the interesting things about this comment thread is that I haven't heard of the vast majority of these series.

Anime is a huge reservoir of stories that I hadn't tapped until recently.

My first encounter with anime was Voltron when I was a young child. But I encountered anime as a distinct cultural phenomenon only in the mid-90s. The cool kids that I wanted to be with liked it, so I tried to like it (I know--not smart), but it wasn't for me. All I really had access to was occasionally borrowed VHS tapes. So I got stuff that other people enjoyed, such as Lodoss War and Bubblegum Crisis.

Now in the internet age, I can watch pretty much anything I want. I can pick and choose precisely which anime series I like from a huge multitude of titles. This makes anime far more accessible and enjoyable to me.

Project D sounds interesting. I'll check that out.

You've got quite a list!

I've known about Ranma for a long time. But it seems like quite a bit to get caught up on.

The 12-episode format seems like a sweet spot for developing a story without requiring too much of a commitment from a viewer. That's generally what I do.

Thanks! I'll check it out.
