Oooooo...   I assume this hasn't been translated into English yet, so I'll 
have to check it out on BitTorrent.

I'm currently watching Mushishi.  I watched the first few episodes on 
BitTorrent in Japanese, but it's nicer when you don't have to read 
subtitles, and you can watch it on your TV.  I'm awaiting the 3rd DVD from 
NetFlix.

And, well, you know how I feel about Haibane Renmei as well.  My daughter 
and I are currently watching that again, which probably makes it about 7 
times.  I always seem to catch something that I missed before.

Most of these, my daughter watches with me ("Lain", I watched by myself), 
but I don't always watch what she watches.  I can't take "Bottle Fairy" and 
others in that genre.  "Strawberry Marshmallow/Ichigo Mashimaro" is an 
exception; it's worth watching just for the off-the-wall humor, although I 
sometimes feel like a pedophile for enjoying it.  I guess if I didn't have a 
daughter, I would really feel strange.  ;-)
