Chobits was the very first anime that I ever watched. And I loved it from beginning to end. But I am with you in that I wanted to know the after story. But I find that most animes leave you hanging and wanting more. Even when animes have a second season they rarely finish up the series. Ai Yori Aoshi being one.
I really enjoyed your review and it gave me a new perspective. Thanks so much!

Well, I liked your review even though I thought that you were vague on some things. I love Fullmetal Alchemist and there is so much detail to this show that it is not surprising that you can't get it all into one review. I do have to add though that I love the music to Fullmetal. Although I do not particularly care for the openings and ending animations except for the final opening animation of the series. That one rocks!
Thanks for a good review!

I think that your review was very thought out, researched and well written! I even learned a thing or two about the movie that I had not picked up while watching it. So thank you! But I am not sure that I agree with your score. I know that you warned that you were going to score more harshly, so I was prepared. But I still believe that this film deserved a better score. Even if it was Miyazaki's first films and it wasn't one of his better ones it was still an awesome film! The plot and story alone were fantastic and I thought that the animation was wonderful. But I will admit that I am probably not as good of a judge as you are at that. I just thought that each character had such animated detail to it that you had not mentioned. That is one thing about Miyazaki's films that amazes me is the magnitude of characters that he comes up with for each film.
Anyways, you did an excellent review even if I don't agree with your score! Good job!

I great review and I agree with the score as well! I would probably have given it a ten though! Lol! Is that possible? But I so nuts about the series that I rebought the first volume just to get the art box. Well anyways, awesome review! Keep up the good work!

While I have to give you props for a very well written and very thought out review, I have to totally disagree with you on your opinion of Elfen Lied and its characters. I love Lucy/Nyu! I hope that someday you come to change your mind and give it a second chance! :-D
