-
+  maybe a metaphor for Purgatory, maybe for socialism, maybe just a
+  story to learn to forgive one's self, this series is beautiful
+
+`Top wo Nerae - Gunbuster <http://anidb.net/a185>`_
+  One of the first works by Gainax, with character design by `MIKIMOTO
+  Haruhiko <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haruhiko_Mikimoto>`_ and
+  direction by `ANNO Hideaki
+  <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideaki_Anno>`_. Giant robots, teen
+  angst, special relativity. The sequel, `Daibuster
+  <http://anidb.net/a2120>`_, is also remarkable for keeping up with
+  the scale of the original.
+  
 `Cowboy Bebop <http://anidb.net/a23>`_

+  See `my review </anime/review/cowboy-bebop/>`_.
 
 `FLCL <http://anidb.net/a117>`_
+  The start of the "surreal" period of Gainax. A weaponised guitar, a
+  Vespa, double-entendres, unusual relationships.
 
 `The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya <http://anidb.net/a3651>`_
+  “I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens,
+  beings from the future, or super-humans, come see me. That is all!”
+  Between zany and profound, this is one of the most intriguing series
+  I've even seen. Originally broadcast intentionally out of order, I
+  think it works better watched in that order than in the straight
+  internally chronological one.
 
 `Future Boy Conan <http://anidb.net/a330>`_
+  Early work by, among others, `MIYAZAKI Hayao
+  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayao_Miyazaki>`_ and `TAKAHATA Isao
+  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isao_Takahata>`_. Many Ghibli films
+  will use themes and character details from this series.

+.. `Princess Tutu <http://anidb.net/a516>`_
 
 `Sora no Woto <http://anidb.net/a6783>`_
+  Young girls crew a military base in not-quite-Switzerland. War,
+  relationship between military and civilians, trumpets, old myths.
 
 `Dai Mahou Touge <http://anidb.net/a4149>`_
+  This is *not* a standard magical girl story. If Punie can't win with
+  magic, she'll win with uncontrolled brutality.
 
 `Dennou Coil <http://anidb.net/a4345>`_
+  Intrusive virtual reality, hacking, friendship. Oh, and cute girls
+  with glasses.
 
-`Eve no Jikan <http://anidb.net/a5132>`_ + `movie <http://anidb.net/a7249>`_ + `Mizu no Kotoba <http://anidb.net/a4346>`_
+`Eve no Jikan <http://anidb.net/a5132>`_
+  Exploration of a society with humanoid, Asimov-style robots. Also
+  watch the `movie <http://anidb.net/a7249>`_ and the related short
+  `Mizu no Kotoba <http://anidb.net/a4346>`_.
 
-`Macross <http://anidb.net/a77>`_ (the first one!)
+`Macross <http://anidb.net/a77>`_
+  If you've only seen Robotech, you owe it to yourself to see the
+  original version of one of the three works that were mashed together
+  for the US rewrite. The best summary of Macross is "humans win a war
+  against violent aliens by singing at them".
 
 `Hibike! Euphonium <http://anidb.net/a10889>`_
+  High school brass / marching band club, working hard to pass the
+  selections toward the national contest. Good music, good portrayal
+  of the amount of work involved in learning to play musical
+  instruments, and a very sweet romance.
 
 `Shin Seiki Evangelion <http://anidb.net/a22>`_
+  The series that re-booted the "giant robots" genre. Gory, messy,
+  with an ending that still has people arguing after twenty years and
+  several animated reiterations.

 `Puni Puni Poemi <http://anidb.net/a65>`_

+  was too long, and not surreal enough.
