Every time you mention anime I get excited and then you recommend Mizyaki. Ugh. And you really need to watch some new stuff like, Haibane-Renmei or RahXephon (series, not movie) or Argentosoma. I suspect though that Dana wouldn't like most of my recommendations. They wouldn't be hentai, but sex and violence is a good thing. Especially for sheltered teens. Like Gantz or Elfen Lied. Two of the best series I've seen in a while. Seriously, who wouldn't like a TV show that in the first five minutes features a bloodbath of psychic beheadings, severed limbs and exploding viscera all caused by a naked psychic mutant girl as she escapes from a research facility. I was so hooked after that!
Haibane-Renmei http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=60031952 RahXephon http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=60030788 Argentosoma http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70014680 Gantz http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70024173 Elfen Lied http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=70032603 I will mention that starting this weekend, Cartoon Network is showing a month of Mizyaki. That means I'll be doing something else, but I'm sure some people here will appreciate it.
