Top Recommendations: I have had people ask for recommendations on what they should buy,. These are series I think nearly everyone would like and be glad they watched:

  1. Haibane Renmei (age 13+)
  2. Aria the Animation
  3. Shingu: Secret of the Stellar Wars
  4. Someday's Dreamers
  5. Petite Princess Yucie

I have rated other series higher, but they're more controversial and generally would appeal to a more select audience.
