This is one of the best anime ever created. It has had a profound influence on several others who work in the business both in Japan and the United States. The story is strange and a bit complex. If you like your anime simple and straightforward, this isn't for you. Still, the story is somewhat beside the point. The reason this anime has been so influential is its style. The animation, the voice actors, and the brilliant soundtrack combine to make this an incredibly unique work. It is a classic of the genre, and I don't use that term lightly.
