December 26, 2009Incredibly fun and wild anime. Extremely original with an exceptional eye popping sense of style and animation.

January 13, 2008I'll ignore the obvious. This is what got me back into anime and just animation in general after going through a dry spell: robots popping out of a kid's skull, guitars, puberty, and a rockin' soundtrack by the Pillows! I love you Gainax.
