I would have to say Higurashi, its a very strange anime and even though I'm kinda lazy and don't like to read the subtitles for an entire series that one got me hooked. I mean how often does an anime start with a young man beating two girls to death with a baseball bat. It was pure genius!! To go from that "WTF?!?" factor to humor and back again, only to retell the story over and over with different twists and viewpoints, you don't ever really see that. I mean, the whole story runs like 4 to 5 episodes in length, but because they keep retelling it or changing it its like 25 episodes long.

I loved how because the writer had A.D.D (I'm guessing) he throws in what's called the "time-killing" chapter which had almost nothing to do with the original story, but was equally screwed up.

but yeah, that show has caused me to enjoy anime that's not been dubbed yet, but still very enjoyable. Although I haven't found any anime of late to totally catch my attention like that show did
