I really enjoyed watching the last review (Planetes) :)
I can see why you didn't like the characters development, the fact is the many of the characters like the director (and other not so well developed protagonists) where invented only for the anime release but the never fit well in the story. Even the ending is different than the manga version, I am not sure why the author divided to change the ending this way ....
I think I'll join the silly fangirl/fanboy club and praise your great reviews - they are well written and insightfull as well as pointing out certain things I sometimes overlooked in the animes myself. And since it is also pretty noticeable that we seem to share much of the same taste in anime, I hereby deem you being my lifetime friend and associate in crime ... eh - I mean japanese produced quality cartoons.
Great to see another Monster fan. It took me 4 months to watch all the episodes but it was so worth it. And as you can see from my avatar, Dr. Tenma is my favorite anime character.
I'm surprised with Kino's Journey (a masterpiece) and Someday's Dreamers (somewhat bland for me) that Haibane Renmei in your top 5. I don't think I've seen a more beautiful, poignent, spiritually and emotionally moving anime series.
Really glad Monster is your #1 anime, mine also! Just about to watch Someday's dreamers , thanks for a great review on it! Really look forward to it having read your review.
