I like SOME anime. The storylines are surreal, and use both serious and humerous themes. But they can get pretty odd and disturbing - if you believe anime, then the Japanese don't believe in consentual sex...
My favourite anime (heck, the only one I really like...) is Outlaw Star. Great art work, cool storyline with some great characters and (which is unusal for anime, or so I hear) good English voice actors (some say even better than the Japanese ones).

Your saying anime is not unique then I do not know whats wrong with you but this stuff doesn't look all the same. Its pretty unique if you ask me. Well one thing since my friend can draw this every little detail has to be perfect, nothing can be wrong, and nothing is all the same.
