And… from Patrick under “what I didn’t get to say” ☺ Epic/Popular Series - things you could (maybe) show to friends

• Tengen Toppa o Giant robot show set in a universe where machines can run on the sheer boldness and hot-bloodedness of their users. Lovable characters with awesome story arcs. • The Melancholy of o A show about a guy who finds out that a girl in his class is and doesn't know it (and mustn't find out), and the things he has to do to keep her from getting depressed and unmaking the universe. • Bakemonogatari & Nisemonogatari (Ghostory and Impostory, same show different seasons) o Eye-popping design and masterpiece that's currently airing its second season. Has become so blatantly erotic and perverse (but still TV- safe) that it's been nicknamed Pornomonogatari. But, you know, us smart people can appreciate how the porny sections are done in an over-the-top, self-deprecating way. They're just being faithful to the book, you know? We're really just watching for the witty dialogue, anyway. • Ultimate o Straight-to-DVD of an earlier TV series that had outpaced its source . Now faithfully following the much better manga story, it's incredibly hammy and culminates in a three-way war between Britain (who have Dracula on their side), the Catholic Church, and NAZI VAMPIRES. The English dub might even be better than the original voice actors. • Baccano o A huge ensemble show about immortals in prohibition-era Chicago. • o a high school student finds a book that can kill anyone whose name is written down in it. When the world's worst criminals start dying in prison of mysterious heart attacks, the UN puts the world's greatest detective, another high school student, on the case. Contrivances aside, the cat-and- mouse game that follows is mind-blowingly entertaining.

Sweet Genderbending Stories you'd never see come out of American studios:

• (Kuragehime) • Ouran High School Host Club • Wandering Son (Hurou Musuko) • Sasameki Koto
