The stereotypical look and feel of anime turns off many people, often including me. There's too much slapstick, and too much time spent with unrealistically-large mouths open for crying or gasping in disbelief. And yet, if you look past that, there are truly fantastic stories being told through the genre. Girl Who Leapt Through Time, seen on September 22, tells a story of choice and consequent. It beautifully balances comedy, tragedy, and introspective. If you can see past the anime to see the story, I highly recommend this one.
