Out of ongoing frustration with the quality of american movies, Brian over at Samizdata has gone to internet video clips. But in the comments, Steve ("taste arbiter") den Beste plugs the Haibane Renmei DVD, one of our favorites.

I just watched the series Haibane Renmei and I can tell you truly that it was utterly innovative, totally unlike anything I had ever seen before, and among the very best things I've ever watched. I recommend it highly. It's an extraordinary series, released here in the US on 4 DVDs.

You need to actually read through both the article and the comments on this one.
