PQ, you're thinking of Cromartie High. That's a pretty funny show, I guess, been a while since I watched it.
In gabbly last night I was trying to talk about Mononoke. This was met by multiple agreements that yeah, they liked Mononoke and that they all had mad boners for Ashitaka. They, of course, were talking about Princess Mononoke, which is good too, but you guys certainly don't need Miyazaki recommendations, because he's so famous.
I'm talking about the show that's a spinoff of Ayakashi, and it's got this amazing storyline for every episode. It's like if Poirot were in the Edo period, was surrounded by really fascinated Japanese mythology, had magical powers, and lost the mustache. He would also be very interestingly animated in this instance. It only has six episodes too, so it won't take up too much of your time.
