"Scooby, can you fix Shaggy's knot?" "Hmm. Knot looks fine." That has to be one of the most subversively naughty jokes to ever make it into the entire Scooby-Doo franchise. :D

If something can theoretically be so absurdly bad it's good, this is it.

I'm normally very traditionalist when it comes to music in general and anime music in particular, but I have to say that "What's Up People?" grew on me very quickly. For me, it's one of the most inventive and stylish anime openings of the last several years. There's just so many over-the-top...

Even if it was a bajillion years, I never thought I would live long enough to see those words strung together.

They don't call him the copy ninja for nothing.

I apologize if this has been asked previously, but for how long has AS been referring to Jakotsu as a "she" on their website and the TV grids they send out?

I think somebody in the music department watched Hawaii Five-O as a kid. :D

They also did the same thing to his sword, presumably to make it look less cross-like. I have to compliment the technical ability of the editors here -- very slick job.

Nadia, episode 15, when the crew member Fate is trapped inside a radiation-contaminated chamber and he's talking to Jean and the others through the door. Not gory nor graphic in the least, just very disturbing in context of the series up to that point. If you extend the meaning of...

No pretensions of objective greatness other than "I liked 'em a lot!": 1. Saber Marionette J 2. Utena 3. Giant Robo 4. Irresponsible Captain Tylor 5. Nadia 6. Yawara! 7. KOR 8. Battle Athletes Victory 9. Hime-chan no Ribbon 10. Kodomo no Omocha
