I remember seeing this YEARS ago on a late night cartoon show featuring international animation. I cannot (almost) believe anyone remembered this one. It was high school for monsters!CORRECTION It is more of the vein of Japanese Ghost Busters!!! God what a hoot to see this again. The little eyeball guy reminds me of the Residents! I am so stunned you brought this up! I forgot this existed! I was even more stunned I found it on youtube too! This was back in the days of the original Johnny Sako and the OLD Astro Boy!

I'm not the biggest Anime fan. But I did see Akira and Robot Circus on the big screen. Grave Of The Fireflies is an amazing movie. I grew up watching Speed Racer, Star Blazers, and Robotech.

@mmspritx well anime is actually have a wide range of genre, from action, adventure, drama, comedy, romance, sci-fi, and many more. not to mention, there a mix between these genres. So if I know ur favorite genre, maybe I can recommend one or two titles. @chishio gegege no kitaro ne. there's too many of them, well 6 tv series between 1968 until the most recent 2007, and more than 5 movies. and the bad thing is I never got even one of the series :( and no i'm not yet an otaku. I mean I really love anime, and I even got about 4 - 5 TB in my hdd (it's hard to get an original dvd in my country). But the word "Otaku" seems too great for me lol, imo it's the same as a professor of anime.
