They're doing a reboot of Sailor Moon next year, I hear.

Haven't really watched any new anime lately.  Last Exile's 2nd series 
was disappointing.  I think the one I watched before that was Hourou 
Musukou, which is nice, then K-ON!!.  Used to watch at least a few each 
new season...ah well.

Looking through my stuff...yeah.  It's been a while since my anime kick. 
  Three favourite series are still Haibane Renmei, Mushishi, and Dennou 
Coil, though there are a few others I could recommend on quality, too.

no gore this time.

Agreed, and thanks for the link. I feel like I just got eaten alive by my own
research. (Thesis defense today, part of the extended hazing ritual that passes
for higher professional education here.)

You say that as if this stuff /isn't/ bizarre porn itself.

Yeah, I think I'll give it a miss.

I have no idea what is or is not "anime". I do know that occasionally 
films come on TV which have a distinctly Japanese look to them. And 
usually those are bizarre in the extreme as well...

Well, in one scene we /do/ get to see the entrails of an alarm clock ;-)

Sounds like another one of your "I don't know what this is, nor do I want
to find out, and I will spout whatever prejudiced nonsense comes to mind
every time the subject comes up, just as a matter of principle."

If you want to see it that way, you're entitled to your opinion. I 
actually meant it more as a "from what I've seen, this probably wouldn't 
interest me".

While we're on the subject, I also don't know what constitutes "garage 
music", but I'm not going to rush out and find out.
