Interesting! I hadn't heard that before.

I got into a disagreement with someone the other day. This guy at work was insisting that all anime is a waste of time. I felt confident responding that, since it is essentially TV, some anime is a waste of time, and some anime is a pleasant way to spend time, although you could be doing something more important, but that some anime does exist (and I was thinking about Haibane Renmei here ), which stands amongst the greatest achievements of television, and possibly all of storytelling.
