Aaah, hachimitsu no kuroba! Awesome series that most of my friends only know by the intro. heh. Season 2's OP is fairly interesting as well. Speaking of which... I need to watch Season 2 yet...

Sounds like an anime I need to check out!

Svankmajer was a popular artist to screen in my animation classes. His work creeps me out....

Oops, not sure what happened there. But what I was trying to say:

I love Jan Švankmajer. When I was studying in Prague, I checked out his food series from the library and became obsessed.

There is a little bit of a food motif in the series; very minor, but amusing. I'd agree with Allen that it's a really good show. I was a bit skeptical at first, but after all the goofiness of the first couple episodes it turns out to be quite moving and a bit profound.

Ahaaaa I like Karen Resta's comparisons. My description would be "one is very Czech, one is very Japanese". Hers is a bit more poetic. :D
