And since you're an anime fan, what do you think of Inuyasha?
I started watching it when my first child was born. I thought at first the animation was crude and the voices were annoying. But it grew on me and I got addicted.
What I really enjoyed was that it was so different from the type of American stories I was used to. The mythology was bizarre to me, and yet, rich. I really liked the Eastern background music as well.
