I'm willing to concede that
Totoro is a great kids film, but being as I am 26 you'll understand if I didn't like it as well as his other, more complex works (of which Princess Mononoke is my favorite). So yes, I guess I am out of my mind.
As far as Akira's animation being "bad", I meant the character design, I'm just not a fan of 80's animation.
Incidentally, to anyone who cares about
truly original animation, the absolutely best anime I've ever seen is
Mononoke from Toei Animation. You can find the divxs on animesuki, there are no available subtitled DVDRs.
You can find the DVDRs of Elfen Lied on asiandvdclub.org or divxs on demonoid if you don't feel like wasting your bandwidth.
Incidentally, I hated it, but my guess is you'll eat it up. It's got gratuitous nudity and kiddy humor!
