Also, see this thread since this board is so slow anyway, that a new alive thread doesn't hurt at all.

I've seen Kamichu ep 1, and it was really really good. It gets 1000 points for the beginning, which is really nice non-boring storytelling, and also really adorable. It also gets 75 points for every little spirit walking around.

Further plus points for the chaos theory-esque typhoon start.

Oh man, this series is just great. It's Windy Tales without the insanely long episodes and with a more mainstream (and high budget) style.
