NO. |

Extreme
violence, pornographic nudity |

Admittedly
- I saw a set of fan-subs from the Japanese release;
I'm sure the Cartoon
Network version has been DRAMATICALLY edited, and
would thus probably be worth recommending.
During the 90% of the time the director wasn't on
crack, it was a half-decent series. |

Nothing

It's
lighter stuff than most, some find it cute. |

I
watched some early episodes of this and found it...well...dumb (see
pokemon). some of the
later stuff, though, got more interesting -- still
definitely a kid's show, but i found the latest season
amusing enough to qualify for regression-television. |

I
liked it but have to say i don't recommend it... |
| Why? |
Falls
somewhere between "the best anime ever made"
and "the most twisted anime ever
made." Episodes 1-20ish are great; after
that...well, the jury is out as to whether the ending
makes or breaks the series - either way, it's
unexpected, twisted and rather racy. |
| Anything
else? |
Very
violent, but plot much richer than most. |

Plays
with children's fairy tales instead of deep mysticism,
which makes it much simpler fare than most (though
still fantastical). |

certainly worth a look, especially when it's being

Yes. |

Fairly
typical fare: girl wishes for another world, girl
finds world, girl discovers doctrine of total
depravity. |

It's
good stuff. And there's apparently a movie out
there somewhere that exists-in-the-same-world-
but-has-an-independent-plot. |
what
i want to see: .hack// series, ghost in the shell,
crest/banner of the stars, jin roh, vision of escaflowne: a
girl in gaia, wolf's rain, RahXephon....and many more.
