Still, it's entertaining as all heck. The characters are fun, their interplay ranges from goofy to hillarious. The artstyle is simplified and expressive. I recommend the subtitled version.Planetes is a hard(ish) SF show about trash collectors that work in low earth orbit. It starts out as a fairly pedestrian workplace drama that starts to pick up speed and builds to a powerful crescendo at the end. The artwork is plain, but meticulous. It's not supposed to be pretty, but it doesn't detract from the storytelling.Ranma 1/2 starts out very strong. They run out of steam some time later. Still, lots of good stuff before it gets repetitive.Urusei Yatsura is the first series from Rumiko Takahashi. (creator of Ranma 1/2) I'm a fan of the show, but then again, I first watched it in the 80s. It's erratic and uneven, but the best episodes are amazing. I especially love the movies, but unless you've watched enough of the TV show, you won't get a lot of the references or in jokes. One of the movies was directed by Miyazaki.Robot Carnival is a collection of shorts by various directors. All about robots. Some of them are thought provoking. Some of them are over the top action. Some of them are hillarious.</blockquote>
