I've been watching an excellent horror anime called Boogiepop Phantom. I'm going to try to finish it up tonight (yeah, it's after 2:30am, but I only have about an hour of eps left... and they're just so goood!).

The way in which the episodes and story progress is neat. It started off with an episode about a girl. The next episode involves a guy that met the girl in the first episode. The third is about a girl who's life was changed by an encounter with the guy from the second.

It keeps going like that through each episode. You get these neat one-off episodes about these characters but as you watch more and more you see how they are all connected. They tend to jump around chronologically as well. You get 2-3 minutes of stuff happening in the present, then it goes back 5 years, then back to the present and so forth. It is a little confusing, but you can wrap your head around it pretty quickly once you notice the patterns.

In a less confusing vein, I just started watching Last Exile tonight as well. This anime is amazing.

Steampunk + Airships + Grandiose Political Maneuverings + amazing animation = My Dream Anime Series :)
