Re: What are your other favorite anime?
I REALLY love the anime NOIR.
It's super low budget and super repetitive but it has an excellent sense of European action movie aesthetic style rarely found in anime (think Leon: The Professional) and is wonderfully devoid of the usual garbage - sexy underage female protagonists, squeaky voices, etc - that kills most anime for me. The filmmaker who did it, Koichi Mashimo, promised making a trilogy of series about "Girls With Guns" that as a concept REALLY speaks to my genre interests! Alas the following two series in the trilogy are pretty awful. Madlax because it embraces overly sexualizing the female characters, poor writing and a failed attempt to be part Evangelion mind-twister and part Luc Besson action story. The final series El Cazador de la Bruja is too devoid of any real personality to resonate.
Oh well. One out of three ain't bad.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
^ All valid complaints. Can't argue against them. It sure is a series done on a nonexistent budget. But as a filmmaker I loved the style they used with their limited production and the whole series sure worked for me. Didn't hurt that the music is awesome.
I can't persuade you to NOT see the other two series enough. They are really bad.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
I regularly recommend Angel's Egg - it's a wonderful film. I'm glad you like it too.

Then officially I dislike all of the Urobuchi's works.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
Well, it's not that popular in the first place but I did recommend it to some friends who aren't even that much into anime and they liked it. Though one of them was only convinced when I explained my thoughts to him.
Lots of people just don't like narratives with that kind of exposition and structure.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
Now that I've finished the Tatami Galaxy, it's now sitting at #4. Maybe someday I'll bump the rating up to a 5/5 if I rewatch it sometime.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
Nice, I've seen it years ago, but it's still nr.7 for me. You should check out other works by Yuasa, the same director, the guy is masterful.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
I watched Kaiba alongside Tatami, and while that had some great aspects (The settings are amazing, the premise is original, and what can I say about the OST that hasn't been said), the story becomes a bit more predictable as the ending comes.

Re: What are your other favorite anime?
Mind Game and Ping Pong are his other best works besides those. There's also a fifteen minute short by him for the Genius Party compilation that's charming and really imaginative. Kemonozume is probably considered his weakest series but you'll still like it if you enjoy his directing in general.
Personally I liked Kaiba the most and Tatami after that. But he's my favorite director working in animation, so there isn't really any work by him I didn't like.
