Painfully high-pitched opening credits song - not a problem, skip-able.
Weird attempts at humour - eg. 1:51, 3:10, and others - dubya tee eff? Is that supposed to be funny? Is it some sort of Japanese slapstick? I don't get it, and I usually avoid shows that do that sort of thing.
actually, the story's a lot deeper than it first appears to be.
The exaggerated humor is pretty common in Japanese animes, you get used it after awhile. If you can get pass some silliness in the beginning, there are some other things being said.
Pokemon and Dragonball Z and Inuyasha and Naruto and Bleach..etc. are directed at elementary to junior high age groups...Maybe try "Q.E.D." or "Kidaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo"-they are detective stories and are for more mature audiences.
I watched this a few years ago and I have to agree it's pretty good. I loved the realistic aspects of it, and the ending was surprisingly very well-done.
yea, I like the element of quiet solitude and self-reflection that is portrayed so well. This is what I find to be different between the East and West materials--they draw upon their own cultures in very different ways. And I have come to appreciate both styles in their own uniqueness.
Here's another one. The animation is much smoother and you could tell they've spent a lot of time drawing them. And it doesn't have those embarrassing and silly scenes.

I dunno, I'm not an altogether huge fan of anime.
- 2 minutes of dialogue
- 10 minutes of grunting, making faces, and "powering up"
- 2 minutes of action
- 10 minutes of dust settling
.. but yeah, I used to watch it back in the day.
